Review Summary

Motto HandRoll Bar offers a unique and intimate dining experience that consistently impresses visitors with its high-quality, fresh ingredients and expertly prepared handrolls. The restaurant features a stylish, speakeasy-inspired atmosphere where guests can watch chefs craft sushi right in front of them, creating an engaging and immersive environment. While the service is frequently described as attentive, friendly, and professional, some diners noted the fast-paced nature of the seating policy and modest portion sizes. Overall, the combination of delicious crudo dishes, creative cocktails, and a vibrant, modern setting makes it a highly regarded destination for dates and social gatherings in Montreal.

Finally a high quality handroll in Montréal. Nice decor & vibe, simple menu & high quality fish & ingredients. The quality of the fish is so good that the crudo dishes actually don't need as much seasoning as they have, but I'm only pointing out improvement areas in an otherwise very solid offering. Great cocktails as well. I'll be back often

Really beautiful date spot, super vibey & intimate.
The fish they used for the hand rolls was so fresh! The toro roll & salmon roll were the best I think

This handroll spot is an absolute gem. Every roll is made fresh to order, & you can taste the quality in every bite-from the perfectly seasoned rice to the ultra-fresh fish & crisp nori. The balance of flavors is spot on, & the texture is exactly what a great handroll should be: warm rice, cool fish, & that satisfying crunch.

The service is friendly & attentive without being overbearing, & the casual, intimate setup makes the experience even better. Whether you're a sushi purist or trying handrolls for the first time, this place delivers consistently amazing food. Easily one of the best handroll experiences I've had-can't wait to come back!

Truly incredible experience, the service was amazing from top to bottom. We tried a good portion of the menu & it did not disappoint. The salmon & crap hand rolls were DELICIOUS✨ the fish was so fresh & high quality, very decently priced for quality. We will most definitely be back very soon

I walked by here a few times & made a mental note a few times, but never went in. By coincidence, I decided to make a visit today & wished I went in the first time.

Pleasant entrance greeted by the staff to ease you into the experience de maison. A quick intro into the surface of what's to come, Motto specialized in Japanese handroll with an unique Montreal twist that's surely to be remembered.

Try the uminosachi that Québec & the northern hemisphere provides. Watch for the apparence of the tender sweetness that is brought forth by the mild shari that only exists from fish that thrives in older climate. There was one that I especially was wowed by, try guessing which one that was.

Establishment provides a great & correct entry into very accessible Japanese experience.

Overall good - but i wouldnt go back for dinner, i think the move here is really just drinks & a snack'

Beautiful resto - Cool vibe - Fresh fish & tasty rolls - Nothing blew my mind / nothing was life changing - Rather expensive for a full meal.

Ambiance is cozy & service was good during lunch, but a hand roll bar should ultimately have excellent hand rolls.

The hand rolls (tried 6) were very underwhelming.

Rice temperature is off. Should not be as cool as fish.
Seaweed was too crunchy & hard to chew. It should be replaced.
Serving fake crab as a mix in a crab hand roll was disappointing.
