Found the restaurant on Tiktok when i was visiting Montreal & the experience was 10/10. I went alone too but had an amazing time, the food was good & I think about the wagyu nigiri & the chidori cocktail everyday. The place is also so beautiful & very intimate. I will be going back whenever I'm in MTL!

If you're looking for a place with amazing food & service this is the place. The staff were all very nice & they take the time to explain everything to you at the beginning. An intimate little spot with a nice ambiance for a date or night out.

It was pretty good! Its definitely an intimate place where I could recommend for a date night or something like that, or just for a drink & a little something on the side, service was really nice & amicable. We really like the Nigori umeshu soda that we got served !
However first time we ever got charged for still water 😂 they warned us in advance about it so it won't take you by surprise

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.

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.

Intimate yet vibrant vibe. Food is a bit overpriced though (35$ for a single Hokkaido Uni Handroll, 15-20$ for 4 pieces of crudo?.

Beautiful intimate place. Food was impeccable! Delicious & fresh, they took note/care of allergies. The service was outstanding, Khoi was amazing to us. Informative, creative & very entertaining. Drinks & shots on point. Perfect Mama's night out! Thank you Khoi!

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
