Le Château Maneki is described as a tiny, intimate spot with a speakeasy vibe upstairs, where the atmosphere is warm, charming and often noted as Instagrammable; the menu is praised for freshness and creativity, featuring pressed sushi, sushi dogs, tartare and other inventive dishes, paired with standout cocktails and mocktails that many reviewers loved. Staff are frequently highlighted as friendly and attentive, contributing to memorable date nights or gatherings, but several comments point to drawbacks such as very small seating areas, stairs at the entrance, occasional slow or uneven service, and prices that some feel are high for the portion sizes. Despite these caveats, many reviewers call it a hidden gem worth visiting to experience the unique concept, plan to return, and appreciate the overall experience and the emphasis on presentation and flavor.
J'ai adoré mon repas, j'ai pris les sushis pressés à l'anguille, & le petit goût fumé était vraiment délicieux. Le lieu, l'équipe & la nourriture, rien à redire. Cependant, je trouve que 21 $ avec pourboire (15%) pour 8 morceaux, avec du riz & une tranche de poisson aussi fine qu'une tranche de bacon, c'est assez dispendieux. De toute façon, c'est devenu la norme maintenant. - I loved my meal; I had the pressed eel sushi, & the slight smoky flavor was really delicious. The place, the team, & the food-everything was perfect. However, I find that $21 with tip for 8 pieces, with rice & a slice of fish as thin as a strip of bacon, is quite expensive. But honestly, that's the norm nowadays.
The food is good but the portions are relatively small for the price.. Also it is really close to the highway so it gets really noisy. There is only outdoors seating.

Food was delicious & fresh. The portions were okay, it's not the best option if you're REALLY hungry, but it's definitely worth trying out all the sushi they have. Unagi was my favourite :)
It feels nostalgic going there! The terasse is a genius addition to this iconic place & i'm so happy the Maneki team took over! It's not just an instagram spot, the food is delicious & so are their mocktails. I'll be back 🙌🏽
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. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Wow! Tres beau concept de style fast food mais en sushis/tartares. Oui il y a beaucoup de riz, mais c'est normal, il ne faut pas s'attendre à avoir des sushis authentiques.
Located just off the 40 highway & in an old ice cream place. Small sushi pieces & too much ice drinks. Points for trying to bring some life to old run down ice cream place. Having funny cat visit us during mealtimes.
Super casse-croute japonais. La déco est sublime & audacieuse avec ses couleurs pastels & son architecture. Mon tartare était succulent mais ma portion petite. Vu le prix, il faut savoir se satisfaire. Faites un arrêt si vous passez par là!
Quelle merveilleuse idée & que dire des sushis Sake Truffé! 🤤🤤🤤 Un casse-croûte un brin luxueux, mais un casse-croûte certes! Magnifique! Allez-y, allez-y!
