Park is described as modern yet intimate, with soft lighting and elegant furnishings that suit both casual dinners and special occasions. The food is consistently praised for freshness and quality, with sushi, sashimi, and omakase singled out as standout and premium platters noted for their presentation and variety. The open kitchen and sushi bar let guests watch technique unfold, adding to the immersive dining experience. Service is frequently lauded as attentive and knowledgeable, though a few reviews report slow pacing, timing issues for large groups, and mismatches between expectations and reality in some visits. Pricing is consistently noted as on the higher side, reflecting the high quality but leaving some diners feeling value varies by experience and dish. Ambiance, design, and location receive praise, while some reviewers mention noise, cramped seating, and occasional inconsistencies that can affect the overall impression. Overall Park stands out in Montreal as a top destination for Japanese Korean fusion, celebrated for its expertise and dramatic, memorable meals, with many guests eager to return for celebrations or special occasions, even as a minority recounts disappointing moments that tempered their enthusiasm.
Top tier dining experience in Montreal. Went there for a special family occasion & we could not have been happier. Had the sushi platters, there was plenty of food for everyone. Recommend shelling out for the premium platters as you will get Otoro tuna & it is worth it! Everything was fresh, refined & tasty. Service was excellent & our waitress took the time to walk us through every single type of fish, maki & nigiri. Definitely on the pricier side but worth it to experience tastes you won't find anywhere else in the city.
Finally tried the infamous Park! Let me start off by saying it is not worth it, at ALL! Highly exaggerated prices. We paid $200+ for 3 rolls & sashimi. The sashimi was some of the best i ever had but the rolls were decent, definitely not worth the price. We thought the atmosphere would mke up for the price, but no. Sat behind a table of young guys who were extremally loud & drunk. We excepted more out of a fine dining restaurant, ended up being more of an izakaya style restaurant. Would never repeat. Trust me when I say I know my sushi, you do not want to waste your money here.
I was so looking forward to my dinner last night at Park & sadly was extremely disappointed. first the positives...I was greeted warmly & promptly at the front & taken to my spot at the bar. The server was very nice. The decor is fine...nothing amazing...but clean & nice. The sushi chefs don't even acknowledge you. I didn't expect them to have a full conversation with me, but I did find it odd that they don't look at you (not even once) & they simply don't acknowledge you at all. The maki roll I got was so underwhelming. The sauce on it was delicious...but if you took away the piece of shrimp sitting atop of each cut piece the actual roll is simply rice. If there was anything else in it...it was miniscual because all you tasted was rice. So I had shrimp atop of rice. Beyond disappointed. I would not recommend the roll called Ebigari Maki. The menu says that is has salmon & tuna tartare inside but I tasted none. I only tasted rice. For a roll that anywhere else would range between $20 & $30 they charged $49 & all I tasted was rice inside the roll. I knew that Park was expensive & I had no problem with that because I was expecting a fabulous dinner with phenomenal sushi. I did not get that. I would never recommend this restaurant to anyone. I was so disappointed that I stopped ordering & let the server know that I was underwhelmed & other than saying she was sorry...she did nothing to try & make it right. For what I experienced Park is overpriced & does not deliver the exceptional food I was expecting... I asked for the check & left...still hungry & very disappointed.

Excellent restaurant, small, not too big. The food is extremely fresh & very tasty with lots of flavor. Try the sashimi platter. Wait service is impeccable. Probably, the best sushi I have had in Montréal.
A friend & I went here for sushi last Saturday night. What we ate was very good - super fresh & nicely presented. However, the choice of different sushi is fairly limited, & they are available only in platters of 6 or 8. For the price, our meal was somewhat disappointing.
honestly the best sushi/fish i never had. Server was very sweet & the ambiance is chic but also accessible!
the quality of the food was amazing. we took the plate for one with around 30 pcs, soup miso & endamame + tartare on the side + wine bottle & we were totally full at the end! can’t wait to go back, thank you for the experience 😊

The food was delicious, the sushi’s were good. But the service & the ambiance weren’t there, which for me is part of the experience itself.
We order a bottle of wine, a couple plates on the side & a tasting experience for 1 person, me & my boyfriend always shared plates & we were more than happy with our selections! Cost about 700$ with tips for 2 people.
Honestly very good, but the prices are exaggerated in my opinion.
There are other sushi restaurants in Montreal with the same fish quality, but with more reasonable prices. Anyways, it's a must try in Montreal, but I feel like the value ratio isn't great.
Mon coup de coeur 2014. Des plats recherchés, des sushis & sashimis surprenant, une qualité & une fraicheur impeccable. Des choix plus conventionnels pour ceux qui n'aiment pas le sushi. Une sélection de saké à découvrir. Service sans failles. C'est cher, mais ça vaut le prix.
Beaucoup de bien a été dit (& écrit) sur ce restaurant. Ainsi, en le visitant, j'étais convaincue de succomber à la même magie qui a opéré pour tous. Peut-être aurait-ce été le cas si j'avais visité les lieux pour le souper... Toutefois, on visite les restaurants selon notre horaire & le budget imparti, alors ce fut plutôt à l'heure du lunch.
Petite note sur les lieux: décor étudié, original, décalé. Un service courtois, un français laborieux, mais au moins on parle français pour ce coin de Westmount où l'anglais est plus fréquemment la norme.
La carte du midi est brève & peut-être un peu redondante, la présence des sushis était peu notable, offert seulement à travers une bento box où ils n'étaient pas particulièrement la vedette.
J'ai donc commandé un bibimbap (désolée pour l'orthographe) précédé d'une soupe de bisque de homard. La bisque était un désastre. Le goût du sésame tuait toute prétention pour un autre goût dans la soupe. Côté bibimbap, bravo pour la présence notable des légumes & la cuisson juste de tous les aliments. La balance des goûts n'était pas tout à fait idéale. Le riz noisetté & les champignons terreux empêchait là encore tout autre goût de se frayer un chemin vers notre palais. Visuellement le plat était beau & appétissant. Ma copine qui avait pris de son côté la soupe Miso a jugé celle-ci décevante & le repas principal (bento box) correct, mais sans plus.
En conclusion: je retournerai visiter le restaurant le soir pour compléter mon point de vue à son sujet, mais pour l'instant, il n'a pas performé au niveau espéré.

Un jeune chef de grand talent à découvrir. Suite à une excellente critique dans le Voir nous avons essayé ce restaurant. Ambiance décontractée avec belle vue sur le bar où on peut voir le chef & son équipe s'activer.
De l'avis de mon ami qui est adore la culture nippone & est déjà allé au Japon, ce sont les meilleurs sushis qu'il a mangé, supérieurs à ce qu'il a goûté lors de son voyage. Pour ma part j'avais pris le menu dégustation 7 services mais je ne le referais pas. Certains services était un peu inégaux comme cet insipide bouillon à l'entrée. Il faut surtout y aller pour les poissons! Les meilleurs que j'ai mangé à ce jour! Il faut être prêt à débourser un bon montant mais l'excellence est là. Un très gros coup d'coeur, j'y très hâte d'y retourner.
I went there this past Thursday (second time here. The 1st time was a while back & I had picked a sushi menu only). This Thursday's omakase featured fabulous courses like the tomato soup, Scallop/dashi / saké bouillon , their sashimis. But the two last dishes (Black Salmon/ Daikon / butternut squash puree + the rice pudding/chocolate ganache dessert) did not pursue with the sense of Asian flavors I do expect on an Omakase, & that were brilliantly showcased on the earlier items. As for his sushis, they are fine but I was less taken by them than at some other sushiyas in Montreal. Still, one of the better restaurants in town. Food & text review of that omakase: http://tinyurl.com/ouwfc43
Nous avons reçu un service impeccable. Le chef sait rehausser le goût naturel des poissons avec des ingrédients de qualité. Le menu japonais est tout à fait sublime & délicieux! (sushis, makis)J'ai moins aimé la salade décomposée, l'acidité était trop présente, malgré le fait que j'adore les plats qui ont du punch. Pour la partie coréenne, je passerai la prochaine fois. Je suis une habituée des restaurans typiques & j'ai été déçu par le manque de saveur des plats coréens (bi bim bap, nouilles sautées, soupe). Du côté bistro français, les plats étaient très savoureux (cotelette de boeuf). Le menu dégustation manquait un peu de ligne directrice. Je trouvais qu'on passait d'un plat à un autre sans vraiment sentir qu'il y avait une certaine harmonie. Menu dégustation: Cher payé pour des plats qu'on aime & qu'aime moins. Je repenserais définitivement la musique qui crée une drôle d'ambiance & qui colle difficilement avec le restaurant.
