Review Summary

Le Château Maneki comes across as a charming intimate spot with a standout pink castle exterior and a cozy upstairs dining area, offering a playful yet refined Japanese inspired menu featuring pressed sushi, sushi hot dogs, tartare and other inventive dishes, along with creative cocktails and mocktails that pair well with the food. Reviews consistently highlight fresh high quality ingredients, beautiful presentation and a welcoming friendly staff, with many noting an immersive vibe and a memorable atmosphere, though some guests find the space small and the noise level high and a few mention slow service or small portions for the price. Reservations are advised and the experience can feel special whether dining upstairs or enjoying drinks at the bar, with standout desserts like matcha tiramisu and inventive drinks in fun glassware mentioned by several reviewers. Overall Le Château Maneki is seen as a memorable hidden gem for sushi and Japanese fusion in Montreal, best enjoyed as a shared tasting experience and with plans to return to explore more of the menu.

Nice cozy vibe & delicious unique sushis! The Unagi & Sake Truffle are to die for.

the vibes are soooo so cute!! totally picture-worthy , but the food in general was just ok. we found the portions quite small for the prices they charge 🤷‍♀️ we were lucky enough to find parking on a street nearby (because the parking lot was full) & seating could be limited too during their busy times

Le Château Maneki is straight-up iconic! You have to go. It's in this super aesthetic pink & blue castle, & the vibe is just unreal. The staff is beyond nice, like they make you feel like you belong there. I tried all of their torched sushis & OMG, the Sake Truffle?! Literally blew my mind. The salmon just melts, & the truffle is pure magic. The mocktails? Fire. & the patio? Total vibe !! perfect for chilling with friends. If you haven't been to Le Château Maneki yet, what are you even doing with your life?! This place is an absolute MUST. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Une belle réappropriation de l'espace au vibe nostalgique de l'ancienne crèmerie à l'allure de château rose-bleu. Les sushis hako sont bien instagrammables, la préparation se fait sous nos yeux dans le concept de cuisine ouverte derrière la vitre. La saveur crevettes spicy crush est vraiment bonne, bien balancée. La saveur classique maneki est bonne, mais je l'ai moins aimé car la généreuse sauce srirasha masque le saumon, ce qui dommage pour des sushis qui ne sont pas donnés. Il y a quelques tables à pique-nique, stationnements, mais compte tenu de la popularité, s'attendre à une file & probablement pas de places assises; on a pris pour emporter. Il faudra essayer leur tartares & aussi la crème molle pour une bonne évaluation de leur menu.

I was so excited to try this new place as ever since the ice cream shop that used to be at the castle closed, I wondered what/who would take over that place. I only had ice cream as I already had dinner but it was perfect after a hot day. Very light (tasted like frozen yogurt) & not too sweet. I can only imagine how it complements the donburi ansd oshizushi. I'll definitely come back to eat the main dishes. I was also glad to see how they paid hommage with the ice cream & kept the initial vibe of this iconic pink & blue castle.

I was sad when the ice cream shop that was previously at this pink & blue castle closed down. It was an institution for years & many in the neighbourhood were afraid that the next owner would tear down the castle. Happy to see that Château Maneki not only kept the original look of the place, they added a few modern touches as well to give this place a very cool vibe. The menu is very interesting & different from many other run-of-the-mill sushi shops, with oshizushi (pressed sushi), donburi & tartare. For our first visit, we took the sake truffle oshizushi & the maneki classique tartare. The Sake Truffle was very flavourful, quite spicy, & filling even for my husband! The tartare was just also perfectly spicy & came with tooons of crispy taro chips which I love. We found the prices to be quite reasonable. Looking forward to coming back & eating on their little terrasse. The place was a little busy even for a wednesday lunch, so do expect a bit of wait for your food during rush hour as they are recently opened!

This is a spot you MUST TRY. Yes they have ice cream yay! The flavor changes regularly. Very good sushis flambées, which makes Le Chateau Maneki stands out from the other sushi spots in the area. They also have a small terrace & a parking lot. It's a cool & relaxed vibe. Super friendly staffs as well!oved my time there. We had : - Maneki Classique - Donburi Truffé au Maguro - Pineapple drink (mocktail) Will definitely come back for more!
