Went with a friend since we saw it trending a lot on social media. Here's the unbiased opinion: the restaurant is mind blowing on its own & the decorations is literally crazy !! It's a good place to take cool pictures & appreciate the work put into the aesthetic. Now when it comes to food, I think it's just the quality you'd expect from an AYCE. It's not bad but it's not good. BUT. Desserts are super yummy & the selection is huge compared to other places. I recommend the fried Oreo! Might've went a bit ham on them that day 😅.
Manga sushi is one of the best all-you-can-eat sushi spots in town, especially for their specialty rolls, which are exceptional. The atmosphere & decoration are great, adding to the overall dining experience. However, the service is a bit slow compared to K2+, which I believe is owned by the same owner. Despite this, the quality of the sushi makes it worth the wait.
Décoration très réussie, immersion garantie ! Les sushis sont bons & frais. La salle était complète mais le service a été rapide pour notre part. Nous avons attendu à l'entrée malgré notre réservation mais cela ne nous a pas dérangés, c'est bien normal! Je recommence cet endroit, superbe expérience !
Décoration fouillée & très réussie excellent service, nourriture variée & très bonne. Seuls petits bémols : le sake de la maison n'est pas à la hauteur, & svp, nettoyez les tablettes électroniques entre chaque service.
Love the decorations, it's fun in there with a chill vibe, 45$ for AYCE so very pricy, but the food was fresh & delicious & very different choices. No parking
Un endroit qui te déconnecte totalement de la réalité & dont la décoration te plonge dans un cadre immersif des mangas. Pleins d'émerveillement dès qu'on franchit le pas de la porte. Le menu & les formules disponibles sont intéressants. Les plats sont un délice !! Le service est assez rapide. Je recommande fortement.
amazing experience!! first I need to say the decoration felt out of this world! it was so well put together, i would come back just to look at it some more. also the food was insane!! i can't remember the last time i had a meal this good haha. it was really fun to see the servers burn some of the food at your table. definitely recommend & will be back!!
REALLY good, the atmosphere is especially great if you're a fan of anime/manga, it's fun to look at all the different decorations, wallpaper, & figures from different series. & the little character flags added to the sushi are really cute! I also love how my beer came in a One Piece styled mug, they REALLY go all out with the theme here & it's fun! The food is really good too, very fresh. I'm usually wary of takoyaki in AYCE sushi restaurants since it tends to be bland & mushy, but I didn't experience that here at all. Absolutely love the mussels as well, couldn't stop ordering the garlic ones. A bit on the pricey side for one person, but I think it was worth it.
First of all, the restaurant name can be a little misleading. It's "Manga Bistro Sushi" but it has absolutely nothing to do with Mangas, nothing. Yes, in Japan they do have Manga Cafe where you dine & read mangas there, this place is not it. It's just a regular sushi buffet restaurant covered in anime wallpapers & figurines, that's it. I will give them the credits that the interior decoration looks amazing but that's as far as it goes. Now let's talk about the food itself. Let's just keep it simple, does it have more variety of sushi compared to other similar places down the street, not really. Does it taste better than others, not at all. The selling point is the decoration, that's really it. Although the price is higher than others. There are some sushi/rolls you can clearly tell that they are using old rice as it is super dry, stiff & easily fall apart. This is a bonus since it might not apply to a lot of people, but also a warning. For customers who happen to enjoy torched Nigiri. It is no secrets that this place is all about presentations. When they serve you torched Nigiri, they torch it in front of you, on your table. I don't know which genius thought this was a good idea, as you may have personal belongings that can be damaged accidentally if left on the table. Perhaps, eventually light someone on fire, then sued to oblivion. Not to mention that there are flammable materials on the table like napkins. A small accident or some silly kids being rough are all it takes to start the Billy Joel song. If this practice does not change, it is only a matter of time. I would recommend you to tell the waiters to torch it properly where it is safe. The funny thing is that the chefs already torch it slightly in the back, then waiters torch it again right in front of you for presentations. You might think that I am being paranoid but the reason why this section is so big is because they accidentally lit my table on fire & made a mess with water trying to extinguish it. Lastly, the service isn't bad at all. I really like the fact that you can just order it on the tablet assigned to each table. The serving time is relatively fast. In conclusion, if you live outside of Montreal & here for the weekend, then sure try it because why not, the visual is somewhat spectacular. But if you want to get your money worth, then this isn't the place for you for sure. It is one of those places that you go once for the experience & take pictures then never return again.
Nous sommes allés pour la fête de mon fils & c'était magnifique. Les plats étaient beaux & les aliments frais, la décoration thématique manga était assez pour nous faire tourner la tête de tout bord. Heureusement que nous avions fait des réservations la veille car c'était plein à craquer & malgré tout ce monde là, le service était impeccable.
Very cool, instagrammable place or if you love anime is very unique. Very typical all you can eat, food was good nothing to complain. We got there around 4pm & service was fast at this time, then around 5pm started getting full & service was veryyy slow, that we stayed more than the usual for us. They made some mistakes in the order, bringing us things we already had ordered & eaten but nothing mayor. I wish they had more choices for desserts. Also they should pass a dust collector in all figurines, very cool concept just there's a lot of dust all around the decoration
Nourriture très basique . Décoration réussie . Mais bon ça reste un restaurant & le repas était pas génial. Sauf si vos papilles gustatives sont à la retraite 😂
My friend & I have been wanting to eat here for so long. We finally got the chance to try it out in late December & we were very disappointed. The anime decorations are beyond amazing, there's all type of anime figurines, wallpapers, etc. The service was not to our expectations, we didn't receive a lot of what we ordered. We had to wait over 15 minutes for the waiter to bring our bill. As for the food all of their sushi didn't meet our standards - tasted raw or very gooey. I personally had a bad acid reflux / gas reaction for two weeks & half because of how deep fried some sushis were made. I personally had a terrible experience & so did my friend. We won't be coming back again that's for sure. However I do think people should try it out once at least maybe their experience might be better than mine.
Je pense que c'est le meilleur restaurant ou j'ai manger les sushi incroyable. La gamme de produits sont pas mal. Le service super rapide. Dommage que en France on a pas se genre de décor bravo au propriétaire pour la décoration :)
Booked a reservation to Manga Bistro two days in advance for a get-together with friends on a Friday evening (ballsy choice indeed). With MTL traffic & the downtown parking situation as it is, we thought it'd be best to head to the restaurant early. My group arrives 15 minutes before our reservation & we see the huge lineup outside. We pass the line to see if we could get our table ahead of time. The server suggested we wait in line outside & that they would call out to us. We waited 10 minutes in line, watching people at the front of the line enter in before us. Were they walk-ins or others with a reservation? Who knows. It took a phone call during the 10 minutes to get a table. I understand, the ambiance & the look/hype of an new anime themed AYCE sushi restaurant is super appealing, so of course, it's a given that people are lining up to eat at the establishment & to take their time to be served. But what is the point of making a reservation if you have to wait outside for 25 minutes? & no, the restaurant is not a large space, there are booths, but most tables seat 2 or 4 people, so the spacing between tables is fairly cramped if you are a group of 5. The service inside the restaurant was good. Servers were able to deliver & quickly clean up dishes during the night. The food items ordered via provided tablet were all given to us, with some minor exceptions of delivering a wrong order or changing the sushi format of an order (i.e. ordering maki but getting a hand roll version instead). I would agree with other reviews that the AYCE sushi quality is pretty standard & that dishes do come out lukewarm or cooler than expected. Items I thought are worth ordering are Saumon Sashimi, Beef Ribs, Grilled Spicy Mussles & Saumon Teriyaki. Items I thought to avoid are the Garlic Shrimp Skewers, Herring & Roe Sashimi & General Tao Maki. One item that received mixed reviews at my table was the grilled scallop. The grilled scallop is covered with cheese baked on top of it. The cheese does give it a creamy texture but the taste of American cheese overwhelms the scallop. Although torched sushi was greatly advertised on social media, I don't know if the torching method was worth it. I saw that a server would come by to do side table service & torch the nigiri at your table. That did not happen for my group & I don't know if it's something that is a client request. In addition, it is true that your plate of food does come with a small anime gatcha figure or a printed sticker of an anime character on a toothpick. What was not clear was whether we could keep all these decorations as a souvenir of our night... The restaurant does not serve alcohol but does offer canned sodas, including Coke, Ginger Ale, Iced Tea & Diet Coke. In term of dessert, there are options for fried foods (fried oreo, fried bananas, fried pineapple & fried bread). Ice cream flavours offered are chocolate & neopolitan. In short, go if you really want to take in the ambiance. As for me, one time is enough.
