Moku Bistro est largement reconnu comme une destination culinaire japonaise incontournable à Montréal, proposant un menu soigné qui allie qualité traditionnelle et créativité originale. La clientèle souligne régulièrement la fraîcheur des sashimis, l'excellence des sushis pressés ainsi que des plats remarquables comme les spaghettis au beurre de miso et la crème brûlée au hojicha. Bien que l'atmosphère soit systématiquement décrite comme chaleureuse et accueillante, le service est généralement considéré comme attentif, amical et compétent, ce qui enrichit considérablement l'expérience globale. Bien que certains commentaires mentionnent que les portions sont parfois modestes et que les prix reflètent un positionnement haut de gamme, la majorité des visiteurs ressortent très satisfaits et recommandent vivement l'endroit à tous ceux qui recherchent une cuisine japonaise de grande qualité dans un cadre agréable.
Overall, the portions were quite small. The staff were friendly, & the atmosphere was nice, but the tables were far too close together. At times, it felt like we were dining with the people at the next table.
The miso pasta had an excellent sauce, but the pasta itself was undercooked. The sashimi wasn't fresh enough for me to recommend, although I'm not sure if that was just the case on the day we visited.
The oshizushi, however, was very satisfying & delicious. Since it's close to where we live, we'll probably come back. As for recommending it to friends, I'm still on the fence.
I forgot to take photos but head over to their instagram to see how delicious the food looks. We had the pork belly with potatoes, the hamachi pressed sushi, & the chef's choice sashimi. This was the best quality sushi I've had in Montreal. The pork belly was a departure from my usual order at sushi restaurants, but I'll be ordering it every time. It was indulgent & flavorful & melted in the mouth! So fantastic. I hope many people come patron Bistro Moku & I know they'll enjoy it just as much as we did!
this is a beautiful, gently upscale restaurant, with a short, curated menu of Japanese food. prices are representative of that. the food is beautifully prepared. we had the burrata pistachio pesto starter & also ordered the Moku Ramen, the 12 piece sashimi & the Kaisen Don. the person who ordered the Ramen was satisfied, as was the person who ordered the sashimi, which comes with the most popular fish (salmon yellowtail & toro). the Kaisen Don was more varied & had slightly fewer pieces (two types of tuna, salmon, scallop, yellowtail, amaebi & some various roe but still, not very adventurous). the hojicha crème brulé was delicious & well--made. the fish is as fresh as we get in Montreal, which is not that fresh compared to BC or Japan, but it is OK. the service was only OK, we had to look for our waiter, but on the other hand we were not rushed out the door, either. it was a pretty slow night, so they were not hungry for our table.
overall, i find the prices are a bit high for everything & the quality is average, although the dessert & starter were interesting & well done.
Nice Japanese bistro. I came during soft opening so there weren't a lot of people. Since it was so empty, I couldn't really evaluate the exact vibe. The food was good. The sashimi was fresh. The karaage was crispy. The salmon tartare & the flambé hamachi were ok but nothing exceptional. I didn't get to try their other dishes.
Visited Moku for a birthday, food was so tasty! The waitress & waiter were so kind to us & were very accommodating to our pregnant friend. Absolutely loved the steak (mash was amazing). The sashimi plate was the star of the show & filled us up (four).
