La cuisine met en avant des ingrédients de haute qualité transformés par des techniques qui équilibrent les normes traditionnelles et les profils de saveurs novateurs. Les convives découvrent un menu composé de makis et de sashimis soigneusement assemblés qui soulignent les textures naturelles des produits de la mer frais.

Restaurant Nozy est largement reconnu pour offrir une cuisine japonaise authentique et de grande qualité à Montréal, où de nombreux clients soulignent la fraîcheur des sashimis, la sélection intentionnelle du menu et la maîtrise des plats tels que le Kaizen Don ou le poulpe grillé. Le nouvel emplacement dans la Petite Italie est souvent décrit comme chic, moderne et convivial, tout en conservant l'âme et la constance de l'établissement d'origine. Bien que la majorité des visiteurs saluent la rapidité du service, l'ambiance agréable et l'excellent rapport qualité-prix, certaines expériences font état d'incohérences concernant les types de réservation, de quelques lacunes dans le service ou d'attentes divergentes sur certains plats. Dans l'ensemble, l'endroit demeure une recommandation de choix pour ceux qui recherchent une expérience culinaire réfléchie et sans prétention, caractérisée par des techniques précises et des saveurs fraîches et équilibrées.

Nozy is a truly unique experience in Montreal & one of the rare places where you can eat genuinely authentic Japanese cuisine. In a city where real Japanese food is surprisingly hard to find, Nozy really stands apart.
I was a big fan of the original restaurant, & the new venue fully lives up to its reputation. The cooking feels confident & thoughtful, with a clear respect for Japanese culinary traditions. Nothing feels overdone or designed to impress for the sake of it. The focus is clearly on quality, technique, & balance.
The uni is outstanding, fresh & creamy with a clean, delicate flavor. The sashimi is beautifully cut & impeccably fresh, letting the fish speak for itself. The unagi is perfectly cooked, tender & rich, with just the right amount of glaze. The chirashi is another highlight, generous & well balanced, with every element placed with care.
What really makes Nozy special is the delicacy of the food. The flavors are subtle & precise, never heavy, & everything feels intentional. It is the kind of meal you slow down for & really appreciate.
If you care about Japanese cuisine & authenticity, Nozy is an absolute must in Montreal.
As someone who has passionately eaten my way through nearly every high-end restaurant in Montreal, I walked in anticipating excellence. We were ushered here as a hopeful silver lining after finding our first choice, Vin Mon Lapin, completely booked.
I'll concede this: the atmosphere is electric. The room is beautifully designed, buzzing with a chic energy, & the cocktail list is inventive & impeccably executed. We were seduced by the vibe, so we ordered... well, almost everything, eager for the food to match the room's promise.
But a stunning room cannot mask a culinary failure.
As the plates arrived, the initial excitement curdled into disbelief. The menu, for all its posturing, boiled down to one thing: fish on rice. & the fish? It lacked the bright, briny spark of the sea. It was cold & tired. It was dull. It was a profound disappointment, bite after lifeless bite. Even the Wagyu was stringy, thready & chewy instead of melting in our mouths.
The drinks & the decor are a siren's call, luring you toward a meal that simply doesn't deliver. When the bill arrives, the gap between the price & the quality you receive feels cavernous.
My advice? If it's exquisite sushi you're after, Yubari delivers ten times the quality for the price. If you're seeking true culinary innovation that will actually thrill your palate, Ile Flottante remains in a league of its own. This place, sadly, was all sizzle & no steak.

Excellent, authentic Japanese meal consisting mainly of fresh fish over rice & very tasty side dishes. Bonus points for offering amazing value & being unpretentious. Service was a bit forgetful but it's balanced out by the fact that dishes come out FAST.
Great sushi restaurant with very fresh ingredients.
Ordered the chef's appetizer plate & the salmon/tuna don. The appetizer plate was delicious, providing a selection of very different tastes & textures that were all done properly. The karaage was well season & crispy, the pickled cucumbers & eggplant provided a slight fresh & umami flavor. The salmon hand rolls were well season & perfect intro into the main entree. This appetizer is easier to share among 2 people but would be more difficult with others.
The salmon & tuna don was quite delicious, with the perfect fat content on the salmon. Both fish were cut perfectly, & went well with wasabi & the rice. The rice was well seasoned as well.
Overall, very delicious option for quality sushi in Montreal. My only drawback would be the portion sizes as they tend to be on the smaller side.
We ordered 3 appetizers & 2 mains. The waitress brought everything at the same time. There wasn't much thought to customer experience or trying to give a good experience. When the waitress would bring out the dishes, she didn't explain what they were. She just placed them in front of us.
The sashimi was awful as it came on a bed of warm rice. You couldn't take the freshness of the fish.
The waitress was very inattentive as well. We ordered 3 appetizers & she brought out 4. When I asked her what the fourth thing was (as we didn't order it), she pushed back saying'I remember perfectly that you ordered this' & didn't brother telling us what it was.
Overall, we left feeling disappointed & won't be retuning.
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.
I waited for a long time for the server. The fish was ok but there were a few sharp bones. The rice is extremely soggy & cheap sauce was poured on top of it. In addition, half of the bowl of rice is cold & half warm, i find it very disgusting. The octopus was overcooked, with no octopus flavour & burnt. Also the oysters were shucked horribly (bits of shell).
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.
