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.

Fresh, delicious sushi! Everything was amazing! We have been to Japan before & this quality is similar. It is quite expensive though, so that is the only downside.

This place is walk in only however the wait wasn't too long for a Sunday night. We were seated in about 10 mins.

This is as much delicious food as it is an experience.
The interior is stunning & intimate. The service is great & the staff friendly.
The food was extremely fresh & flavorful. But wish the sushi chefs would interact more.

If I could suggest one thing about the restaurant is that they move some of the'bar' elements away to another area, to make it more immersive. Seeing lit up coolers with pop & beer took away from the vibe.

Otherwise a great spot. Would go back. Oh, & the miso soup was 10/10. Sometimes it's about the simple things.

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

Lors de ma dernière visite au restaurant, nous avons fait le choix d'attendre 30min (samedi soir) pour pouvoir goûter ce restaurant.
Nous revenons alors pour s'installer mais forcé de constater qu'il y avait encore de l'attente… oui car le serveur qui avait noté notre nom, avait noté sur sa feuille 45min & non pas 30min
15min de plus, que nous avons préféré faire sur les banquettes avec un verre.
Le service ? Perdu, un personne venait nous voir, puis demander conseil a sa collègue puis appeler son autre collègue, juste pour une commande.
La nourriture? Bonne, mais d'une tristesse immense. Payer ce prix la pour manger des handroll de ce genre…mon sushi du coin est autant meilleur.
Pour résumer, si vous voulez poster une photo Instagram je conseille, si vous venez manger je déconseille fortement.

The food & the vibes were immaculate. Every roll was super fresh & flavorful, & the atmosphere made the whole experience even better. Definitely a place I'd recommend for a night out with the girls or a date.

Lovely staff & great quality handrolls, I'm very pleased with my experience. The baked crab handroll is a standout. Thank you so very much for preparing the rolls to-go, even though take-out hasn't been formally set up yet.

The concept is a welcome addition to Montreal, but the execution can be somewhat uneven. The food is generally decent, though not remarkable, & some menu choices-such as adding avocado salad to an unagi temaki-don't quite complement the unagi itself.

Service has also varied across my visits. I've had very pleasant interactions with some servers, while others have been less attentive. At times, it can feel as though guests who aren't familiar with the owners receive a less welcoming experience, & I've occasionally been asked to wait in a way that felt a bit dry & unpolished. My last few visits ended up being somewhat underwhelming in both food & service overall.

The ambiance is also beginning to lean toward a more polished, trendy crowd, which slightly shifts the original feel of the place
