Park is frequently praised as a premier destination for high-quality, exceptionally fresh sushi and authentic Japanese fusion cuisine in Montreal. Many guests highlight the exquisite presentation of the dishes, the professional and attentive service provided by the staff, and the intimate, elegant atmosphere that makes it suitable for special occasions. While a significant portion of patrons consider the experience to be worth the premium cost due to the superior quality of ingredients and craft, some reviewers note inconsistencies regarding service speed, table proximity, and value for money compared to international fine dining standards. Occasional reports of disorganized reservation processes or lapses in service etiquette suggest that while the restaurant remains a top choice for many sushi enthusiasts, the overall experience can vary depending on the visit.
Incredibly fresh selection featuring some of the finest fish the city's markets have to offer. Add Chef Park's genuine & authentic desire to satisfy every guest, & you have the makings of a truly beautiful dining experience.
WOW, I have had the privilege of tasting some great Sushi in my life including several of the greats in Japan. Park was BETTER! My guest is a true Sushi connoisseur, as a treat I told them to order whatever they wanted, no limits! It was simply spectacular. Each & every morsel. They even found a way to elevate Edemam. The freshet, highest caliber, best prepared by chef Park & his amazing team. Each & every server (i counted 6) were also impeccable with a shout out to our main server who was a cross between Freddy Mercury & Clark Gable (really). If you love Sushi & come to my hometown of Montreal Park is a MUST.
The food itself was fresh & good quality overall, but unfortunately the overall dining experience was disappointing.
The tables for two are placed extremely close together, making it very easy to hear conversations from neighboring tables, which takes away from the comfort & privacy of the experience.
While the waiters were polite & friendly, the main person taking our order came across as pushy rather than attentive. He never checked whether we were enjoying our meal & seemed mainly focused on encouraging us to order more items. At the end of the meal, when he asked whether we wanted dessert & we politely declined, his response,'You don't want dessert?' felt unprofessional & uncomfortable.
Also, the online menu does not accurately reflect the current restaurant menu. Several items have changed, & the actual prices were noticeably higher than what is shown online.
Park is a great neighborhood spot we keep coming back to whenever we're craving sushi. The service is consistently excellent, they really go above & beyond for the customers, & the nigiri is always fresh & well prepared. The lunch sets are also a solid option. We love coming here.
The flavour was good & the choices of ingredients was nice. But although the bibimbap comes in a hot stone bowl, it was too saucy to create the fried rice bottom one might expect from the experience. This was different but not necessarily unpleasant.
My low rating comes from the beef (which was a 19$ extra charge per plate). It was nearly inedible by being impossible to chew, & made the sit-down meal a bit embarrassing because I couldn't maintain a conversation for minutes at a time.
The waiters also came by to ask if I was done with the plate much too often even though I was clearly not even half done (from the time it took to chew the beef).
We also tried the Park sushi. This was fresh & tasty.
However, the beef of the bibimbap was such an insult to me in terms of chewiness that I cannot recommend this place to anyone who actually wants to enjoy their meal & not just brag about it on Instagram.
I'm quite let down by what was supposed to be one of the better restaurants around.
Your fish can be fresher, colder & firmer. The blackened sea urchin was unacceptable to bring on to the table.
The bill came to over $600 for two. I refuse to imagine what that can do in Tokyo, or Vancouver, or even New York. & pathetically there's not much better sushi choice in town.
Exquisite tasting menu in a beautiful space with an excellent sake, wine, & cocktail menu. Our server was extremely knowledgeable about all of the sake on their menu & was able to recommend one that matched perfectly with our palette. Each dish was beautifully prepared & thoughtfully paired with interesting ingredients. All of the fish was incredibly fresh & the service was impeccable.
