Le restaurant Nozy propose un menu japonais, de style Teishoku, qui comprend plusieurs petits plats, tels que la soupe miso, le riz et les accompagnements de saison, ainsi que le plat principal.
Les avis convergent pour présenter Nozy comme une expérience japonaise authentique et accessible à Montréal, où les poissons et fruits de mer frais sont mis en valeur par une cuisson précise et un équilibre subtil des saveurs. L'uni est souvent signalé comme un point fort, tout comme le sashimi et le chirashi, témoignages d'une fraîcheur et d'une exécution soignée. L'ambiance chaleureuse et intime, le cadre minimaliste et des plats copieux créent une expérience conviviale mais raffinée, adaptée à des dîners en amoureux comme à des sorties entre amis. Le service est généralement rapide et attentif, mais quelques critiques signalent une certaine irrégularité et des occasions où l'explication des plats ou le timing n'est pas optimal. Le rapport qualité-prix est largement salué, avec des ingrédients frais et des portions généreuses, même si certains avis estiment que quelques plats peuvent sembler moyens et que l'expérience peut varier selon le soir. Nozy est décrite comme une adresse incontournable pour ceux qui recherchent une cuisine japonaise authentique à Montréal, offrant une alternative sans prétention à un coût raisonnable et une ambiance qui privilégie le plaisir de manger.
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.
Went there recently for the omakase & enjoyed it. Sea urchin, tataki, & sashimi so fresh! Not a fan of the oyster that day though. I wish there had been a few more pieces of sashimi/tataki/sushi, didn't drink all the 3 types of sake. COD in miso tastes just the right amount of sweetness & flaky & tenderness. Beef tenderloin is pretty delicious too, the wasabi adds a special taste. Never a fan of curry but loved the curry & the texture of rice is just so right. The mochi dessert is really amazing, orange wrapped in mochi & a thin layer of sweet beans paste, such a refreshing/juicy complexe of flavour & texture!! Omakase is a fixed menu & everybody get same dishes, but it would be nice if possible to change/switch a little bit according to preference.
Okonomiyaki wasn't great, & was included with most of our mains (chef's choice), something that should have been mentioned when we ordered it as a separate appetizer. Service was alright, but I didn't find it specifically accommodating either. Miso soup was nice. Fried foods were tasty. Eggplant was delicious. Sashimi on rice was okay, saved a little by the shallots & crispy bits. Orange wine was good.

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).
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 👍
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.

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.
I admit that it's a bit pricy, but quality was there for raw fish. As a Japanese person, prefer not to have sriracha sauce (?) on rice but all fish tastes great so no complaints. It seemed like it's run only by owner himself for lunch time so it might take time to be served if it's busy.
Went for 14 course omakaze, that ended up being 13 courses.
4 of the courses were served together, one bite each.
Really small portions. Disappointingly so.
Tiny cuts of sashimi.
One of the main courses was a tablespoon of rice covered in maybe 1.5 tablespoons of curry sauce with a teaspoon of shredded chicken. Would be funny if it wasn’t so expensive.
I liked this restaurant, good quality, normally acceptable price, but normally the sashimi as starters are not too thin, this evening, it was 30-40% less thick tehn usual & not much variety for 16 pieces... I find this shocking as it's my favorite item in this restaurant.
Too bad, I don't know if I'll go back?
Note: I never take the sashimi with rice (main dish), as the rice is always hot & start to cook the sashimi (maybe that is the way in Japan, but for me it make no sense)

Everything we had here was surprisingly good! The marinated eggplants was nothing to look at but tasted amazing! The omurice with beef sauce was excellent, & the eel rice bowl was buttery & decadent.
