Le Château Maneki is widely celebrated as a hidden gem in Montreal, offering a unique and intimate dining experience that many guests describe as exceptional. The restaurant is praised for its highly creative menu, with highlights including the flavorful pressed sushi, the innovative sushi hot dogs, and a variety of delicious mocktails and cocktails served in whimsical glassware. While the atmosphere is consistently described as cozy, charming, and welcoming, the small size of the dining area and the limited seating can lead to longer wait times, even with reservations. Although the quality and presentation of the food receive frequent acclaim, some guests find the portion sizes to be small and the overall pricing to be on the higher side. Service is generally regarded as friendly, attentive, and professional, though a few visitors experienced inconsistencies with wait times or engagement during busier periods. Despite these minor observations, most patrons consider it a must-visit destination and look forward to returning for the fun, stylish, and high-quality culinary experience.
I decided to come here with my twin after seeing all of the reviews i'd seen online & it was overwhelming. We get upstairs & we're stuffed into a 1x1 room with other people waiting. We overheard the people in front of us say that they had been waiting for more than an hour & a half. Anyways, not my circus not my monkeys... personally, we didn't get greeted from staff until much later but when we did we got sat down immediately so that was good(we had a reservation). The atmosphere was too much. Mama, if I wanted to go to the club, i'd go. They were blasting a tiktok thirst trap playlist the whole night, me & twin had to shout to hear each other. However, the interior design was very beautiful. The food was nothing special. We didn't go there planning to eat till we threw up, so we only took a couple of items. The maneki dog was for sure my favourite & twin liked the donburi rice(but still incredibly far from being the best thing we've tasted). The classic maneki was good but let's be so for real there was probably 0.1g of salmon in that. It just looked like spicy mayo on rice & that's also what it tasted like ( I didn't think it was bad). Overall, the food was not bad but for that price MAMA WHAT ? Staff were nice, give them a raise. They were being hostess, waiter & barman the whole night. I didn't really enjoy my time there but clearly a lot of people enjoy it.
Est-ce qu'on m'a tuée & je suis au paradis? Le seul point négatif de mon expérience est que je ne mangerai jamais de meilleurs sushis. Le parfait équilibre de saveurs, les arômes sont agencées au compte-goute. Le poisson fond en bouche, le riz est juste assez chaud, tout est tendre, chaque bouchée est divine. Les saveurs de chaque sushis sont si distinctes & originales qu'il faut se rincer la bouche entre chaque bouchée pour un reset de papilles gustatives. Les salades de concombre & de choux sont la touche parfaite pour prendre une pause entre chaque sushis, tellement rafraichissantes & gout complexe & simple à la fois. On voit que l'agencement des saveurs a été étudié & calculé. Ça devait rester entre girls, mais on est parties avec le contenant du tiramisu matcha pour le lécher dans la voiture à l'abris des regards. Le shot bubble gum est tellement saisissant WOW quelle fraicheur! Incroyable service & ambiance de cave chaude. La petite lampe sur chaque table qu'on peut controller pour adapter à la vibe, touche très appréciée. Trop trop belle expérience, vraiment un restaurant de qualité quelle chaleur & WOW la présentation! 10/10 NO CAP
Tout simplement incroyable. Le goût? 25/10 Le service? 10/10 L'ambiance? 10/10. Les sushis pressés aux truffes sont délectables. Je ne blague pas quand je dis que ce sont les meilleurs sushis que j'ai mangé de toute ma vie & je m'y connais en sushis. Même les entrées (nous savons pris la salade de chou & les concombres marinés) étaient umamis & d'un goût tellement satisfaisant. De plus le tiramisu au matcha était tout simplement délicieux. Félicitations à l'équipe pour ce restaurant tout simplement extraordinaire.

Une expérience Sushis extraordinaire! Nous avons adoré. Le goût est plus que parfait!!!
Recommandons fortement!
Reviendrons pour passer tout le menu, c'est sû
J'adore la nourriture, c'est original,délicieux & de qualité . L'ambiance est conviviale & le staff offre un très bon service. Une vraie pépite à découvrir!
the atmosphere's nice, the guy serving me was funny , but the food was a major miss. Truthfully, wouldn't come back. Tuna tasted so off, :( also, no parking.
Ce restaurant a tout pour plaire. La salle à manger est très petite, l'ambiance est intime. La nourriture est excellente & la présentation démontre un soucis du détail. Le service n'est pas le plus rapide, mais sans être lent au point ou c'est frustrant, donc aucune plainte à ce niveau. Petite note: les verres en grenouilles & en chats sont vraiment biens haha!
En sommaire, une belle expérience culinaire, on paie un peu cher pour la quantité mais je pense que Château Maneki vaut quand même le détour.
Excellent service du début à la fin. L'ambiance est parfaite. Nous étions 3 amies & avons eu droit à une belle explication des cocktails, mocktails & des plats. Tout était vraiment savoureux. Le mix d'ambiance & du détail apporté aux plats nous a vraiment permis d'avoir une superbe expérience.
