Sleek interior design elements foster a focused atmosphere where the complexity of the ingredients remains the primary attraction for patrons.

This establishment consistently delivers a refined approach to contemporary fusion cuisine by balancing classic textures with bold, inventive presentations that challenge standard perceptions of Japanese culinary traditions.
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.
The sushi tasted fishy, the nigiri rice was falling apart, & the maki had so much sauce that it overpowered the other flavors. The salad was also quite watery.
There were a few issues with presentation as well. My miso soup bowl had a dried piece of food stuck to the outside, some bowls were cracked, & my spoon was chipped.
One concern was that my friend informed the server of her mango allergy, but we were only told after the salad arrived that it contained mango.
Overall, it wasn't the experience I was expecting given the restaurant's reputation.
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.
We were very disappointed with our experience. Despite having reserved a table in the dining area, we were seated at the counter upon arrival. It was Valentine's Day & we were hoping for a more elevated, romantic sushi experience.
When we explained this to our server, they suggested we try the omakase (menu dégustation) rather than the chef's selection, which we had originally been drawn to. Since it was our first time, the server subtly convinced us that the omakase would be the better experience, saying that it would allow us to try a wide variety of things. Naturally, we assumed that meant a generous variety of sushi. We trusted their recommendation & went with it.
What we didn't realize until the bill arrived was that the omakase was significantly more expensive than the chef's selection. & nowhere during that conversation were we clearly informed of the price difference. We felt misled.
Once the dishes started arriving, it was anything but sushi. I understand that some people appreciate a more elaborate & experimental tasting menu, but we came specifically for sushi & instead received five plates of various fish, beef, & sauces, followed by just 8 pieces of nigiri at the very end. Deeply disappointing.
The bill came to $487 before tip, far more than we anticipated. We were never given a clear heads-up about the final cost, which left us feeling blindsided. Oh & the omakase price wasn't on the menu card..
Service plus que parfait, ambiance excellente(super choix de musique).
Je suis assise au bar & j'adore voir les techniques pour façonner les sushis, nigiri etc.
Le chef est vraiment cool & social.
J'ai essayé un plat de 9 mcx de poissons crus, un délice.
J'ai essayé un verre de leur saké, excellent & frais.
Il y a aussi la boîte à Bento pour les plus petits budgets(soupe Miso + nouille avec boeuf, salade, dumpings❤? & sushi) pour seulement 33$.
J'ai moins aimé les nouilles & les sushis de cette boîte mais ça dépend des goûts j'imagine.
Le dessert du jour aux pêches 🤤🤤
Merci, je vais revenir c'est certain.
We sat at the sushi bar. We were lucky enough to be there while they were preparing a bluefin tuna & had some belly. & a pair of nigiris of toro we ordered. Delightful.
La salade au 16 légumes avec la vinaigrette à l' ume était très rafraîchissante. Plateau normal & premium comme repas principal . Sashimi 10/10 nigiri 10/10 maki 9/10 . Le service d'eau 10/10 & service au table très bien ! Je recommande
My expectations was higher that the food we received we got a beef tartare it was missing some salt the nigiri was good but they put wasabi in it so if you don't like wasabi like me it's ruin the experience the other sushi was ok Chocolat dessert was very good For the price I was expecting more
I only order the omakasa at the bar & havr the sushi & sashimi ( non cooked food) It can get very busy so I try tk make reservations & book for 6 pm. It can be a long night if you dont go early. Photo is O Toro nigiri ordered a la carte
