Absolutely amazing culinary experience at Motto Hand Roll! The atmosphere is such a vibe - great energy, beautiful setting, & an experience that feels special from the moment you walk in.

The food is easily a 10/10. Everything is incredibly fresh, & having each hand roll prepared right in front of you & served immediately takes it to another level. This is hand-rolled sushi done right.

I've also been to Motto for a private party, & the experience was just as amazing. The staff & management are always welcoming, attentive, & know how to create a great atmosphere.

I've already been back & will definitely continue going back. One of my favourite spots in Montreal & a must-try for sushi connoisseurs!

The food was just too good. I was greeted nicely by the waitress & the bartender made sure that everything was okay.

I had the salmon crudo, which was just wow. Had two salmon nigiri's which was fresh, crab HandRoll & also the shrimp. The handroll isn't massive so be sure to order around 4/5. It's not too spicy but they offer ginger & wasabi if you like. Everything was so fresh & tasty, i would definitely come back

It was a very small space, meaning you only have 75 minutes to eat & order what you like. But this wasn't a problem as the sushi chefs made the sushi very quickly.

The atmosphere was lively, with a nice low ambience. The music isn't blasting so you can talk with your friends.

This is the best sushi in the city. No question. The fish is extremely fresh & high quality, the chefs know & love what they're doing, & that combo creates exceptional bites of food. I was completely blown away. & all that for decent value. My #1 recommendation for sushi lovers in mtl

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!

A great new spot that opened less than a year ago, very cozy, with amazing staff & good house music playing in the background at night.

It's a small, intimate space where the chef prepares your hand rolls & sushi right in front of you. There are no reservations-first come, first served-& seating is limited to about 1 hour & 15 minutes per group.

The food is excellent. The A5 aburi wagyu ($22 per piece), imported from Japan, is definitely a standout. They also offer off-menu items, like a sea urchin hand roll (also from Japan), along with options like salmon, toro ($20 for 2 pieces), & bluefin tuna ($15 for 2 pieces) nigiris.

For tighter budgets, they also offer set menus of 3 to 5 hand rolls at a fixed price, which ends up being more affordable than ordering everything à la carte.

I tried the negui toro, spicy shrimp, bluefin tuna, lobster, & hamachi handrolls, as well as the bluefin tuna & scallop crudo (both $20 for 4 pieces). Everything was fresh & well-executed. My favorite was definitely the toro.

Salmon is from Canada.
Tuna is from Mexico.

We also tried ice cream mochi as dessert.

We also met the owner, who pays close attention to every customer & makes sure everyone is well taken care of-super nice & welcoming.

If you're waiting or have finished eating, there are booths around the bar where you can sit & enjoy drinks. It's a perfect spot for a date or a fun night out with friends.

The drinks are great too-we had an unfiltered sake bottle, & on another visit, a bottle of wine, with a bunch or other cocktails & drinks.

I'd definitely go back.

There's no street parking, but you can find paid parking nearby or park on neighboring streets.
