Le Château Maneki est perçu comme un petit repaire japonais à Montréal, intime et chaleureux, avec une entrée discrète et une ambiance speakeasy qui se déploie parfois à l'étage. Le décor et l'éclairage créent une atmosphère cosy et instagrammable, idéale pour un rendez-vous ou une soirée entre amis. Dans l'ensemble, la nourriture et les boissons présentent une créativité appréciée; les sushis, les maneki dogs et les cocktails originaux sont fréquemment loués pour leur fraîcheur et leur présentation soignée. Cependant, certains avis pointent la petitesse de l'espace et des portions, le tout avec des prix élevés pour la quantité et un service parfois lent lors des heures d'affluence. Le service est généralement bienveillant et attentif, mais des expériences mentionnent des retards et une impression d'inconsistance selon les moments. Le lieu est aussi reconnu pour des options sans gluten et des desserts comme le tiramisu matcha, ainsi que des boissons et mocktails variés qui complètent bien le repas. Malgré les aspects à améliorer comme le bruit, les escaliers et les places limitées, Le Château Maneki est souvent décrit comme une petite perle à Montréal, à tester pour sa proposition originale et l'expérience immersive. Beaucoup envisagent d'y revenir pour explorer d'autres plats et cocktails.
Had a great overall experience. We tried quite a few things on the menu. Not everything was to our liking but everything was fresh & beautifully presented. All of the server's recommendations were amazing. The cocktail we tried was A+. The ambiance was eclectic & inviting however be warned it is fairly small but the layout was well thought out. My family & I enjoyed it & will definitely come back.
I decided to try this sushi place since it's walking distance from my house, & I'm so glad I did! I have celiac disease, so finding gluten-free options is really important to me. Before I even had to say anything, the server asked if anyone at our table had allergies - which immediately made me feel comfortable & safe. She explained all the gluten-free dishes on the menu (there were three at the time), & we ended up ordering all of them!
Everything was absolutely delicious - the salmon portions were generous, the flavors were super fresh, & everything was seasoned perfectly. I also got a matcha latte, which was amazing - it had a nice vanilla note that made it extra comforting. My friend ordered some of the regular (non-gluten-free) items & thought they were just as delicious, so the whole table was happy.
I'm really happy to have found a spot so close to home that takes celiac seriously & serves incredible food. You can dine in or grab takeout, & I'll definitely be coming back!

I chose the inside experience instead of the terrase version. I did not regret it at all! It was giving cozy vibes & I was there for it! The cocktails were amazing & nothing like I ever tasted before. Everything we took was fresh & so tasty.
The staff is sweet & friendly. The atmosphere feels very cozy. The food & the drinks were amazing. The food tastes really fresh. I will have to come back during summer for their ice cream!
Montreal foodie vibe right here. An old Montréal ice cream shop converted into a asian fusion place.'Pressed' Sushi, Sushi hotdogs & tartare & super funny mocktails & cocktails. It's refreshing to go a innovative place that also serve fresh food. It was delicious & full of flavor. I will definitely return!

Le Château Maneki is such a hidden gem, literally! The entrance is tucked away on the side of the building behind a discreet door, & you'll need to climb a steep flight of stairs to get there. It feels a little unexpected at first, but once you're inside, the atmosphere is super cute & cozy , perfect for a casual dinner or a fun brunch outting.
The food was very tasty! There's a great variety on the menu, with more than just your usual sushi rolls. Everything we tried was fresh & flavorful. The portions are generous & definitely ideal for sharing
I also really liked the drink options, they had a good variety of cocktails, & other pairings that complemented the food well. It's clear some thought went into the menu overall.
Service was friendly & smooth, & the whole concept of the place feels unique
cute & well-executed. Definitely worth checking out!
Absolutely exceptional
Top 3 in Montreal in terms of freshness of the ingredients & menu originality. We have tried every single item on the menu (group of 4) everything was simply perfect. Make sure to try the Maneki Dogs & the cocktails/mocktails. Simply exceptional. Kudos to the kitchen & restaurant staff, amazing food & amazing service. My new favorite in town! A++++

Absolutely loved this place. Very nice atmosphere & enjoyed the speakeasy ambiance. My highlight were the Maneki dogs. However, I thought there was too much rice in comparison to the fish in the pressed sushi & was let down by the matcha tiramisu that didn't taste fresh but rather cold & hard. Their mocktails were also very good! Overall would absolutely recommend.
Had it delivered with Uber What a great dinner we had!!! Everything was fantastic, fresh & full of flavour & textures. Keep up the good work, we will definitely eat from your restaurant again
I had an incredible night at Chateau Maneki. It's so cute & cozy, & the food is fantastic. The standouts for me were the Hakuna Ma-Sake cocktail for being creamy with a little lemon freshness & a sweet finish, the pressed crunchy wasabi roll & the cabbage appetizer. The only downside is that the adorable tables are a little on the tiny side for my long legs - next time I will request a spot at the bar, but make no mistake I will be back. I hope they are wildly successful & open a location closer to me
Wow, what an amazing experience. As soon as you walk up to order you are greeted by the nicest people ever! The food was absolutely amazing. Everything is fresh & extremely flavourful. The drinks were 10/10, the toad ally awesome mocktail was to die for. Will definitely be coming back!!

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 :)
I recently tried the Sushi Pressed at Château Maneki in Montreal, & it was exceptional. The fresh, high-quality fish layered with perfectly seasoned rice created a harmonious blend of flavors. The presentation was elegant, & the service was impeccable. Highly recommended for sushi lovers looking for something special!
I was thoroughly impressed! The sushi was incredibly fresh & expertly prepared. The presentation was beautiful, & each bite was a delightful explosion of flavors. I highly recommend this place!!
