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

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

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

Great vibe & even better drinks. The bartender really know what they're doing & were super friendly the entire time. The atmosphere is fun but relaxed, making it a perfect spot to hang out with friends or unwind after a long day. Definitely a go-to hand bar- the waiter Will created a amazing vibe shout out to him. I'll be back for sure

(One star deducted by my stomach, which left deeply disappointed)

Motto Handroll Bar is dangerously delicious. The salmon & hamachi hand rolls are unreal, the salmon crudos are next-level, & the whole sit-at-the-bar concept is super cool. The vibe is great, the place feels alive, & the servers were on us like ninjas from the second we walked in until the second… the timer expired.

Because yes, there's a timer.

Before that though, let's talk portions. These hand rolls are tiny. Not'cute tiny.' Not'refined tiny.' More like'did this just disappear?' tiny. Everything tasted amazing, but it felt like we went out for an appetizer marathon & accidentally skipped dinner. We left still hungry, emotionally confused, & Googling nearby food options.

Now the best part: the 1 hour & 15 minute rule. I understand people are waiting. Totally fair. But here's the comedy. When our time was up, we wanted to order MORE food. As in, give you MORE money. Instead, we were politely told our time was over & it was time to go. So yes, we left not full… because we literally weren't allowed to eat more. Incredible business plot twist.

Quick warning: the shrimp hand roll didn't do it for me. Everything else? Fresh, tasty, beautifully done.

Would I come back? Absolutely. But next time I'm ordering like I'm speed-running the menu & training for it beforehand. No hesitation. No pauses. Full send.

Amazing vibe, great service, fantastic food. Bigger portions & a rethink on the time limit would turn this from'elite snack experience' into an actual dinner.

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.

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.
