Kyoto draws broad praise for exceptionally fresh fish, thoughtful balance in each bite, and striking presentation that makes the meal feel special; many reviewers rank it among Montreal's best sushi spots and some call it the top choice for sushi lovers. Service is frequently described as fast, attentive, and friendly, with atmosphere earning positive mentions, though a few notes point to a limited wine and sake list and room for refinement. While prices are sometimes noted as higher than average, the consensus is that quality and consistency justify the value, and takeout options and a small, intimate setting add to the appeal. Occasional critiques include rare bones in sashimi and vegetables on platters that seemed dry, but these do not detract from the overall strong impression.
A place we will be returning to every time we are in Montreal. Beyond delicious & everything was so fresh. The staff were professional & kind. We were visiting the city & if it wasn't for the staff noticing that our son left his headphones & came out of the restaurant to track us down to return it. We could not thank the staff enough for that attentiveness & thoughtfulness.
Kyoto Sushi really impressed us. I've rarely seen such beautiful & creative presentation - the dishes looked amazing when they arrived at the table. The sushi was fresh & very tasty, & the service was fast & efficient. Overall, a great experience that made the meal feel special.
Great staff, RJ was exceptional, he payed very good attention to us & was such a delight. The food was okay, I had bones in my sashimi, but it's okay accidents happen. What concerned me more was the freshness of the veggies on the platters, they were all dried up:( even the scallions on the sushi.

Très petit restaurant seulement quelques place(vingtaine) mais tellement bon, rapide, frais & excellent service nous avons réservé pour être sûr d'avoir une place
Superbe découverte hier soir ! Des makis travaillés, des produits frais, ainsi qu'un chef imaginatif & soucieux du détail sont la raison du succès de ce petit restaurant, qui est sûrement l'un des meilleurs restaurants de sushi à Montréal.
Merci pour votre accueil & pour la qualité de vos mets 🍣
Hands down the best sushi I've had in MTL!
The sushi is incredible with great attention to detail & perfect balance in every bite. The quality of the fish is outstanding, extremely fresh, delicate & full of flavor. You can truly feel the authenticity & craftsmanship behind each piece.
Everything is done with balance & precision, letting the ingredients speak for themselves.
A must-try spot for real sushi lovers, I'll definitely be back!
Petit resto discret que nous avons essayé pour la 1e fois mais pas la dernière ! Sushi incroyables, ingrédients frais, service impeccable. Plus cher que d'autres endroits mais vaut la peine pour la qualité. L'un des meilleurs que nous avons goûté a montréal !
