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.

The food was absolutely amazing. The tuna tataki was hands down the best I've had-fresh, flavorful, & perfectly prepared. The wagyu handroll was straight fire & worth every bite. On top of the incredible food, the service from Koi was spot on. Friendly, attentive, & made the whole experience even better. Highly recommend if you're looking for top-quality sushi & outstanding service. I'll definitely be back!

Very intimate, speakeasy feel. Dim lighting with groovy music, slightly on the higher end of the price spectrum but the food quality & taste is very good. Definitely a top 10 sushi spot in mtl.

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

Had an amazing experience at Motto Handroll Bar, amazing food, ambiance, service an the cocktails are beautifully made. The atmosphere is very warm, perfect place for a special outing with your significant other. The reason for the 4 star review is because although the food is of high quality, the portions are very small for the price paid.

Motto was a fantastic experience. I sat at the counter & asked the chef for recommendations - he suggested the scallop handroll & the hamachi crudo, & both were outstanding. The scallop in particular was so fresh & perfectly balanced that I ended up ordering a second one. Each handroll was made right in front of me & served immediately, which made a huge difference in texture & flavor.

It actually reminded me a lot of Kazunori in New York - same focus on quality, simplicity, & timing - but with its own distinct charm. The ambiance was intimate & stylish without feeling stuffy, making it perfect for a date night or a relaxed but special evening out. I'd absolutely go back.
