What an experience! It was my first omakase & I didn't expect to be that in love with the concept!

The service was a next level experience, they show you the whole fish before they cook it, the waitress takes the time at every service to explain what the chef just made.

Also there's a surprise waiting for you if it's your birthday :)

I would give the service 10 stars
Our first experience there was right at the exit of COVID when they mostly did pickup orders & the staff came to open the car door for me, fully decked out in traditional Japanese attire, walking me out into the slushy snow, I didn't know how to thank him 😳
We went back for the omakase later that year for my birthday & it was a performance for the eyes & the palates
Can't wait for my kids to be old enough to experience this!

A bit theatrical for someone use to traditional Japanese omakase but food is amazing. Perfect service will certainly go back well done. I feel bless to have such an establishment in Montreal

Exceptional service & wonderful omakase experience. I highly recommend coming you sit at the sushi table & see the food being served fresh.

This was a truly one-of-a-kind experience with an omakase of unmatched quality. Each dish was crafted like a show, & being able to watch the chef prepare the seasonal ingredients right in front of us was absolutely mesmerizing. It is rare to find a place in Montreal that captures the true essence of Japanese cuisine so authentically & goes so far beyond expectations.
There were moments throughout the meal that were so moving they actually brought me to tears. The restaurant was filled with others celebrating birthdays & anniversaries, & it is easy to see why-this place is truly something special. I cannot recommend this gem highly enough.

Pioneers of theatrical omakase in North America.

Came in for the lunch omakase this past weekend. Walked into a dark room, the counter hidden behind heavy blinds. Once everyone was seated, the blinds rolled up with the loud, sharp clack of hyoshigi (traditional hardwood blocks).

There weren't many performative beats after that, & since conversation with the chefs wasn't'allowed' (you communicate through the servers), the silence actually helped. It pushed all your attention onto what was happening behind the counter.

The meal itself, though, didn't match what I expected at the price. Outside of the kegani (Hokkaido hairy crab), there wasn't much in the way of unique selections across the course. The neta was solid, but for a place that strictly adheres to Edomae traditions, the flavors weren't as concentrated as they should've been. I could still taste moisture in some of the fish. A few of the fatty pieces & skins never got torched either, so the kin medai & saba came off a little flat.

There was also a mismatch with the shari. They used larger-grain Sasanishiki, which usually pairs beautifully with fatty cuts (& I loved it on its own), but against neta this restrained, the rice felt texturally too assertive.

As a Japanese person, this dinner really took me back home.

Beyond the quality fish, whose provenance was explained by the servers, it was lovely to enjoy flavours I miss from Japan, like yuzu, kinome miso & momiji oroshi. They were paired thoughtfully with each fish, enhancing its flavour without overpowering it.

& because it was an omakase, I was able to try varieties I wouldn't normally order on my own, which I appreciated.

The chocolate in the matcha dessert was a little stronger than I prefer, but the tea ceremony at the end balanced things out nicely.

Overall, a memorable evening. I'd be curious to see how the Kyoto location compares!

Quelle expérience incroyable, comme être au Japon le temps d'un repas! Je recommande vivement le brunch omakase offert du vendredi au dimanche qui est à une fraction du prix du souper.

Je suis revenue en avril 2026. Expérience tout aussi incroyable! Prête à revenir n'importe quand, excellent rapport qualité prix.

Delicious! We asked a lot of questions about the food & they explained well. Best omakase
