Restaurant Nozy offers a Japanese menu, Teishoku style, which includes several smaller dishes, such as miso soup, rice and seasonal side dish, and main dish.
Nozy is praised as an authentic Japanese spot in Montreal with exceptionally fresh sashimi, standout uni, perfectly cooked unagi, and well balanced chirashi and dons, all served in a warm, intimate, unpretentious setting that many reviewers compare to dining in Japan. The kitchen is noted for strong technique and thoughtful preparation, with high quality ingredients and good value for the price, and the ambience is described as chic yet relaxed. A few visits mention slower or inattentive service, occasional miscommunication about omakase or uni availability, and certain dishes that don’t meet expectations, but the consensus remains that Nozy is among the best Japanese options in Montreal and well worth a visit, albeit with some variability from visit to visit.
Super expérience chez Nozy. On y est allés un lundi soir & le restaurant était complet, alors qu'ils n'étaient que trois personnes à travailler ce soir-là. Malgré ça, service ultra rapide, aucune attente & une organisation impressionnante.
La cuisine est ouverte, on voit que chacun sait exactement ce qu'il a à faire, c'est millimétré & hyper efficace. Très bel endroit, minimaliste, bien éclairé, ambiance agréable avec un bon niveau de musique.
Les plats sont copieux (avis d'un gros mangeur) , de très bonne qualité, produits frais, & le rapport qualité prix est vraiment excellent. Les cocktails étaient aussi très bons. Petit bémol très personnel sur le poulet karaage que j'aurais aimé un peu plus croustillant.
Adresse clairement recommandée !

Unpretentious Japanese eatery with fresh sashimi & typical bites (okonomyiaki, karage etc). The cocktais were very good, especially the Nigori-Yuzu Sour. Definitely recommend for a relaxed & delicious outing.
My sister & I recently dined here & thoroughly enjoyed our experience. The restaurant offers a quiet, dimly lit atmosphere that creates an intimate & sophisticated ambience perfect for an evening out.
We opted to share the'Chef's Choice' appetizer platter & the sashimi seafood platter. Every slice of fish was exceptionally fresh. Each appetizer showcased thoughtful preparation.
While the service was prompt & courteous, we would have appreciated if our waitress had taken the initiative to explain the various dishes as they arrived. Instead, we found ourselves having to ask for descriptions.
Despite this small drawback, our overall experience was excellent. I would recommend this restaurant for the exceptional quality of the food.
Nous avons été samedi . La nourriture est excellente , le prix est très dispendieux cependant. Nous avons été déçus sur deux chose . Il y avais des gens pour promouvoir les réseaux sociaux & comme cetais un menu dégustation programmé , il y a eu une perte de temps à prendre des Photos & nous avons pas eu le temps de finir l'alcool & avons eu a payé la facture rapidement sans pouvoir relaxer un peu . Suggestion ne pas faire cela une soirée qu'il y a des clients , cela as brisé l'ambiance , de plus elle ont voulu nous prendre en photo & jai dit non mais 5 min avant elle as essayer de le faire en pensant que je voyais pas . Les 3 dernier repas ont été amener rapidement . Le menu dégustation avec le saké nous as coûté 430 $ avec pourboire , pour moi c'est trop cher mais cetais le prix Le propriétaire ne prend pas la peine de saluer les clients aucune fois ni à l'arrivé ou au départ malgré que c'est un endroit intimiste Je ne recommande pas malgré que les plates étais bon

One of the best Japanese restaurants in Montreal. The food is authentic, octopus dish is so good!! Eel over rice is perfect! Highly recommend this place 👍
We had an amazing meal at nozy. The service was super fast & the food was delicious & well presented. The only problem is that we went on a Sat night & they were out of uni/toro so a few menu items were unavailable. Nonetheless very good & will come back to try other items. highly recommend the ceviche
La nourriture était exquise. Je recommande le poulet frit, les sashimis qui étaient frais & savoureux & le bol à l'anguille grillée. Malheureusement, le service était décousu & lent. La serveuse semblait débordée. Pour la qualité de la nourriture, je recommande!

I finally tried the omakase menu. It was very extensive with a lot of different flavours. Maybe too many flavours for one evening. It was good but not extraordinary. The service for the omakase is long, about 2h. The 13-dish menu comes with unlimited sake (Masumi Shiro white, Yukiotoko Junmai, Ippaku Suisei tokubetsu junmai, Dewa no Yuki kimoto junmai). It was a good experience; however, I prefer choosing from their regular menu what I like to eat. I have been here many times for dinner & really like their sashimi. I recommend this restaurant but you can skip the omakase. This place is small & can get really busy so I recommend reserving ahead.
I recently dined at Nozy restaurant & had their fresh lobster & sashimi. Lobster was perfectly cooked, tender, & flavorful, with a natural sweetness. The presentation was elegant, & the service was excellent. The sashimi is so fresh & tasty. I highly recommend Nozy for an outstanding lobster experience. Truly a seafood lover's delight!
Went to this restaurant for my birthday. & the foods were amazing (very authentic). There sakés options were very good. & there yuzu saké was to die for. The staff a super friendly. The ambiance was good & cozy. It was a small restaurant. I forgot to mention that they also offered omasake menu. This is one of the thing that I would come back for it. I highly recommended this authentic Japan restaurant.

We were originally planning to get dinner at Satay Brothers on a Saturday night. However the place was so busy that we went down the street & came across Nozy. We were able to get a table immediately. The atmosphere was very cozy on a chilly December evening. I ordered the unagi don & shared the fruit sake tasting drinks with a friend. The peach & plum sakes were delicious - I'd highly recommend. The unagi don was delicious & very filling. Service was fantastic, our server was very friendly & helped us pick what to order. I really loved this restaurant & would definitely visit again!
Ordered the chirashi bowl for two. Everything was fresh & relish. Totoro tummy, uni, eels, salmon & the rice was all so flavourful! ---- Update 10/2023 I did not go back to that restaurant since the pandemic. Decided to try their Omakase that they serve during the weekend. The ingredients were amazingly fresh & I would definitely recommend to go for their all you can drink menu as well. Pricing was a bit expensive but worth the experience. If you're craving for some fresh Japanese seafood dishes, it is definitely worth going.
