Kyoto is widely praised for exceptional sushi with fresh ingredients, meticulous balance, and craftsmanship that lets the fish speak for itself. Reviews describe meals as among the best in Montreal, with many calling Kyoto a top or favorite sushi spot and noting the chef's creativity and attention to detail. The restaurant is often described as a small, discreet locale that delivers consistently high quality in both dine-in and takeout experiences, with friendly, efficient service and good value for the quality. While it can be pricier than some alternatives, the consensus is that the quality justifies it. A few critiques mention the service could be refined and, occasionally, a dish like octopus salad being chewy, but these do not overshadow the overwhelmingly positive impression. Overall, Kyoto stands out as a benchmark for sushi in the area and a reliable go-to for true sushi lovers.
Honestly, not sure why this place has high reviews. The sushi were quite basic, the sushi rice was overcooked. For the quality, this food was overpriced. Atmosphere & service were nice, but as a Japanese food enthusiast, this is not authentic & my meal was a disappointment.
The restaurant was kind enough to resolve our issue which is truly appreciated because we love the food there & other sushi places we've tried are far below this one. So changing my review! Holidays are always hectic & one bad service experience will not deter us in coming back to this place, best sushi in MTL. We've been regular clients for over a year & are coming all the way from West Island to get sushis at this restaurant. Tonight when arriving to pick up our order we were told it wasn't confirmed « on their end » & wouldn't be ready for another 1h30. My husband showed the confirmation email with the pick up time we had received (he was actually 10 min late to pick up the food) but it didn't change anything. Nothing was proposed to make up for this. Really disappointed of this customer service, we can't wait an extra 1h30 for no reason. & since we have to drive 45 min to get these sushis I guess we won't order there anymore, not knowing if our order is confirmed « on their end »..... This was supposed to be our treat for our last meal with family visiting from far away, disappointment is at an all time high.

Hokkaido, Geisha, & K-ba were delicious. Takoyaki & kara-age were disappointing. Takoyaki did not need panko & had the texture of arancini. Fried chicken was bland & not crispy. The wasabi sauce was a nice touch though.
I've been here many times but this is the first time i order takeout. The sushi tasted good, as usual, but the bag they used was some kind of thin recyclable bag that couldn't withstand the sharpness of the takeout boxes. After a while, the bag was torn apart as you can see in my pic
The place is small but the atmosphere was alright. The servie was excellent however the food was expensive for what it was. A definite downgrade from what it was years ago. The rolls were not rolled perfectly & the fish was pretty much average but is expensive.
J’ai commandé pour apportez 6 makis Maiko: faits de goberge, tobiko, crevettes, & concombres, c’était frais fait & succulent! Le restaurant est joli & propre. J’ai aussi acheté à la SAQ une petite bouteille rose de Saké Sayuri Nigori crémeux & naturellement sucré, un délice!
Excellent sushi place Been meaning to go for a long time & it didn’t disappoint Will come again for sure….. 🤩 went back with my wife & it was even bette
Montreal is a great food city & this place is the cream of the crop. The quality is ALWAYS incredible, fresh & delicious. There are many more expensive sushi places in Montreal but none that are as good.
The food was fresh & amazing, the service was pleasant, the waitress smiled & was nice. However, took long since there was only one person preparing the sushi. The price was reasonable. I would go again but not for lunch just because I don't want to be rushed. I would go for dinner definitely!
