Les convives découvrent un menu composé de makis et de sashimis soigneusement assemblés qui soulignent les textures naturelles des produits de la mer frais.

Nozy est largement reconnu comme une destination incontournable pour une cuisine japonaise authentique à Montréal, saluée pour la fraîcheur de ses ingrédients, la justesse de son menu et la grande maîtrise technique de sa préparation. De nombreux clients apprécient l'atmosphère sans prétention du restaurant et sa capacité à proposer systématiquement des sashimis, des bols don et des entrées créatives qui respectent les traditions japonaises. Bien que le déménagement de son emplacement original vers un local plus moderne et chic dans la Petite Italie ait suscité des avis partagés sur l'ambiance, la qualité constante de la cuisine demeure le principal attrait pour une clientèle fidèle. Malgré quelques retours concernant des irrégularités dans le service, des problèmes avec le système de réservation et des portions variables, la majorité des convives qualifient leur expérience de mémorable et savoureuse, soulignant souvent la précision du chef et l'excellent rapport qualité prix.
If asked to describe our experience at Nozy in one word: Incredible! (based on what we ordered)
The sashimi was very fresh! LOVED the omasake & grilled octopus!
My only complaint is that it was a little cold sitting next to the door so we moved to the bar instead. The best decision as they were fantastic seats which allowed a glimpse of the care behind each dish - thoughtful & beautiful presentation.
I went to Nozy exactly two weeks ago on a Friday night & had such a great experience! We arrived a bit earlier than our reservation time but they welcomed us right away & served us immediately. The restaurant was nice & cozy. The food came out quickly & was so fresh & delicious. I truly enjoyed my supper there & will definitely be going back more often, especially now that their new location is less than a 10 minute drive from my home! Can't wait to go back!!!
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.

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.
A perfect date night out!! Everything is incredibly delicious & fresh! Can't stop thinking about it & can't wait to go back! our total came to 130 for two people & i think the price was absolutely reasonable considering the quality & freshness of what we ate! The service was quick & kind despite the restaurant being full! the omakase was so tasty, the way sushi was absolutely incredible & bluefish tuna was out of this world! the sesame ice cream was decadent & a perfect way to end the meal! we will definitely be back!!
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.
Very fresh & really filling. Excellent quality tuna. Could be better for some of the uni, that was more of a hit or miss type of situation. But overall, great value for the premiums cuts that you get. Don't get the entrees platter, they were all pretty mid & not really worth it. Come here just for their speciality which is the dons.
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.
