Park blends a modern yet intimate atmosphere with soft lighting and elegant furnishings, creating a welcoming setting for casual dinners and special occasions. The food is repeatedly praised for freshness and presentation, with sushi, sashimi, and tasting menus highlighted as standout, often accompanied by a wide sake, wine, and cocktail program. Service is described as attentive and knowledgeable, particularly at the sushi bar, though a few reviews note slower pacing or inconsistent timing in larger groups. The dining experience is frequently celebrated as refined and memorable, with many calling it a top sushi destination in Montreal, while several reviews emphasize that prices are high and value may vary depending on the menu chosen. Some guests recount phenomenal omakase experiences and exceptional hospitality, while others report lapses in service or crowding that detracted from the mood. Overall Park is seen as a premier, if costly, option for those seeking high quality Japanese fusion fare in a stylish setting, with strong opinions about price versus experience.
This was fantastic. However, it was not a cheap experience. The fish was so fresh, & the octopus was very tender. The servers were friendly & accommodating. At one point, I went to pour a bit more wine for us, & the server came over & said. " Allow me, I'll do my job, you enjoy your meal."it was said very playful & felt attended to. There was a nice variety of fish & seafood to be enjoyed. Best sushi 🍣 I have ever had. The only negative other than the price, it was so crowed the place is. The table next to us was so close that I felt like I was having dinner with them aswel. The staff having to walk sideways between tables puts them too close to me. Overall, it was a nice night with great food.I Ps I thought putting the Louis the 13th on the dessert menu was tacky. ($175/ .5 OZ) If I wanted liquor that expensive, I would order it off the drink menu.
The best quality sushi I've had in a while. Eat bite was fresh & full of flavor. For quality sushi places, less is more - go sashimi & nigiri. Maki roll was good but we wished to have gotten another nigiri round instead. The strawberry dessert special right now is probably top 3 favorite desserts I have ever had

So "Somebody feed Phil" introduced us to this restaurant & Chef Antonio Park. You read about the guy, & you just admire the man. My wife booked the lunch for us & the restaurant is in a very nice neighbourhood of Westmount in Montreal. We were greeted by a lovely host (I think her name was Faye) originally from Dorset, Uk; who welcomed us like old friends. (She also greeted a lot of regulars that came in after us - so she is definitely skilled at her role!) She recommended us to actually go for the Park specials, but double up on the nigiris, so we get the variety. Good call! Some people don't get the fuss about sushi. The skill is not just fresh fish, the knife skills, or the right marinated rice, the temperature, the presentation, but the whole ensemble. Chef Park also introduced the idea of his Argentinian flavours in the dips & the fusion tastes of the west & the Japanese in some sauces that were brushed on the nigiri. The presentation is immaculate & it is an experience to have some top rated sushi. We were very lucky to find him at the restaurant on our visit. He was happy to have a chat. If you are a sushi lover in Montreal, you definitely should try it out.

Visited for a special birthday celebration - innovative sushi with a twist & creative dipping sauces. The sashimi & oysters were fresh & full of flavour. We shared the Premium sushi platter & doubled up the nigiri. At this price point we expected the best & were not disappointed.
I visited here twice last month. The first time the chirashi was amazing. It came with 6-7 different fish & very nicely garnished with cavier & chimichurri. I just loved it. & at the second visit I ordered again the chirashi sushi. It was unfortunately very different & boring chirashi plate. I got just 4 different fish & no garnish like last time. But I really liked my first chirashi there. & the server(lady) seemed very stressed all the time.. She cleaned the small water drops on the table with the wet dishrag even while we were still eating.. & when we were paying by card, she just left the paying maschine on the table & disappeared 😅 At the first visit the tallest guy was very friendly & careful all the moments.
We ordered the premium sushi platter, the sashimi were so fresh & reminded us of the sashimi we had in Japan! The sushi were also tasty & fresh! The wagyu sando was made with Wagyu ground beef, it was very smooth & tender but lack of that umami flavour. Anyway, it was still enjoyable! The service was good but not excellent, the attentiveness to be improved. Overall, it was a very good dining experience!
Food was okay but very overpriced. I've had much better sushi at kazumi & Maiko for half the price. Service was very slow & waiter could have been friendlier.
I had the Premium Sushi platter - the quality of all the sashimi was great. However, I wish it was brought out in stages so that the Nigiri rice stayed warm & the fish less dry from being served all at once. The set was priced per person but it ended up being so much for one person! (The edamame was lots also for one person). I found myself forcing to finish it.
Exquisite. Atmosphere, service, quality... Park checked off the whole list. Although on the pricey side, worth it for the fine dining sushi experience.
Nous avons pris le plateau de sushis à partager, qui venait avec soupe miso & edamames. Tout était succulent, le poisson fondait dans la bouche. Nous étions trois, & le plateau pour deux personnes fût amplement suffisant!

Nous avions beaucoup d'attentes pour ce resto & malheureusement nous avons été plutôt déçus :( Nous y sommes allés pour mon anniversaire, en ayant l'intention de se gâter, mais finalement on est repartis en se disant qu'on aurait peut-être dû aller ailleurs. La bouffe était bien, poisson frais de qualité, les assiettes étaient belles, mais rien ne nous a fait tomber en bas de notre chaise niveau goût. Mais outre la nourriture, ce qui nous a surtout déçus c'était le service. Nous étions quatre, deux de nous ont commandé l'omakase 5 services (4 plats salés & un dessert), j'ai commandé le plateau dégustation sushis, qui vient avec une entrée de soupe miso & d'edamame, puis j'ai ajouté une entrée de gyozas. Mon ami a pour sa part commandé deux entrées & un plat principal. Tous nos services sont arrivés à des moments différents, ce qui a fait en sorte qu'on mangeait chacun notre tour, alors que les autres n'avaient rien à manger. Même si nous avions tous des menus différents ça aurait été apprécié d'essayer de coordonner le tout pour qu'on puisse manger ensemble, & non pas séparément chacun notre tour. On a dû redemander plusieurs fois nos cocktails parce que la serveuse oubliait, j'ai demandé un verre de vin que je n'ai jamais reçu. Je comprends que ce genre d'erreurs peut arriver quand on est débordés, mais le resto était pratiquement vide... En plus, le busboy a échappé du bouillon sur les shorts beiges de mon conjoint en débarrassant la table. On nous a rien offert pour compenser cette erreur. Bref, pour deux personnes avec des menus dégustations, deux cocktails & une demi bouteille de saké, la facture s'élève à 497$ (avec pourboires). À ce prix là, on espère avoir un service plus attentionné & professionnel.
We arrived for our reservation quite early but we were still able to be seated immediately. Our waitress was very friendly & of course spoke both French & English. We enjoyed Edamame & Chicken Gyoza to start & then had the Park Maki & Bluefin Bluefin. The appetizers were good & the sushi was absolutely wonderful. Finally, we enjoyed an omakase dessert. Overall, it was a great experience & we would definitely return.
