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.
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 👍
Simple & quaint Japanese restaurant. Been here a couple of times. Dishes are fresh & tasty (you are paying for quality), sashimi is flavourful, service is friendly & courteous. Atmosphere is intimate & easygoing. Overall, a pleasant experience.
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
The restaurant is small & cozy. One of the few places where you can actually hear your dining companions. Reservations are a must. The service was excellent. She was helpful, knew the menu & attentive. This is not a sushi restaurant but serves fresh Japanese food. Everything on the menu looked appealing. We ordered more food than necessary but it was so good, we ate everything. The one thing that I would skip is the potato croquettes. They were good but felt out of place with the rest of the menu. Starters: the beef tataki sauce was good; the beef was a bit chewy. The flavor of the yakatori was really good. The five pc omakase starter is very worth the $20. So good! The Karaage chicken was perfectly fried. Mains: The Take Kago is really good if you wanted a bit of everything. It was well explained & nicely presented. The Unagi Don was delicious, the eel very well prepared. The seafood platter was fresh. The oysters were delightful. Note: some dishes from the Omakase starter were also in the Take Kago. Maybe ask what is in each before ordering if you want a bit more variety. We all had beverages (non achohlic) & they were refreshing. Perfect for a hot summer. Desserts. Oh my. We ordered an assortment & it was all wonderful. My favorite was the yuzu sorbet.
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.
The chef is Japanese. He is truly living his IKIGAI. The food reflects the care & attention he has put into this place. A must if you want to experience a quaint authentic pretentious free Japanese restaurant.
Price of a Michelin, quality of a gas station. Sashimi was fishy (in the bad way). One piece of tuna had a long vein attached & the blood was utterly disgusting. Not to mention other annoying details like sticky bowls, hot rice (), cheap sweet sauce, etc. Okay, I've had both high-end omakase & grocery store sushi, & Nozy's food definitely sits on the lower end of the spectrum. I can only say that I'm glad that I did not have the omakase here, because it's ridiculous that a place like this dare to offer people omakase. Maybe they hire chefs from other places just to survive their Saturday nights, haha. I rarely leave reviews because most places have ratings that are justified, or at least informative, in one way or another. But the reviews for this place are very misleading. In summary, if you're a sashimi fan, avoid this place.

Great food here, you never run out of options. A lot of rarities you can't get in other restaurants. My first time trying uni was here. They introduce new menu items & specialties often. Also I noticed your website seemed to be hacked? Compromised? It leads to a weird scammy page about winning stuff or the lottery, it wasn't like that before, I hope you can get it fixed. Also noticed the opening hours changed drastically, is there a reason it's only on Mondays now?
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!
