The sushi is literally the best ever. The fish is so fresh & the mix of different flavors make perfect combinations. 100/10
Food & environnement were really good (very loud tho) BUT service is TERRIBLE. There is 1 guy carrying everybody (probably the manager). First of all I come in WITH a reservation & get welcomed with attitude, I get told that my table is not ready (have a reservation btw), that the people at my table are paying & that it should be ready in 2minutes. I wait 35minutes with NO UPDATES, I try to wave to waiters to get updates on the situation & they ignore me. The service is terrible for the price of the experience. Not a fancy restaurant what so ever but when you order 300$ worth of food (2 person: 1 entrance each, 1 plate each & 2cocktails/2beers), you better get a good service because of tip.
DÉLICIEUX!!!!! La fraîcheur de la nourriture, la beauté du restaurant wow....j'y retournerai à coup sû
Anabel Ari & Charli gave me such a good Time, I was alone & spent 3hours there, ate like a king, drank scrumptious cocktails & had such a good time (unagi & honey miso roll was absolutely delicious)
The food itself was very good, which makes this experience even more disappointing.
Unfortunately, the service we received felt discriminatory & unacceptable. When we clearly needed assistance, one server approached our table, saw us, & immediately turned around & walked away without saying a word. At checkout, the same server showed no basic courtesy or professionalism, remaining completely expressionless, while being noticeably warm & cheerful with other tables. The difference in attitude was obvious & unsettling.
This behavior made us feel uncomfortable & unfairly treated. While another server later noticed the situation & kindly came over to ask if we needed help-which we appreciated-it does not excuse the initial experience.
Good food cannot make up for service that makes customers feel disrespected. I sincerely hope management takes this seriously & ensures that all guests are treated equally & professionally
Great service & friendly staff. Food is always great. The server was very nice to us
I finally got to eat my favorite tuna sushi at this restaurant. Every bite was so enjoyable, it was so delicious!👏🏻👏🏻👍👍
Truly amazing fish at the sushi bar with Michael. Charlie's service was great & the DJ was an added bonus. I will be back!
Best in Town, super fresh fish & very good table Service ! Cant wait to return.
Rug Griffintown has amazing food. Wagyu tacos were good. Sushi was great. My only issue was the entertainer. The guy's name is Charlie. He was kind of overwhelming. I liked the restaurant, but I don't want to be bombarded with Charlie everytime I go there.
Hands down one of the best Japanese restaurants I've ever been to, right here in Griffintown! The food was absolutely outstanding - every dish was fresh, beautifully presented, & bursting with flavor. The tartares were some of the best I've ever had, & the A5 Wagyu tataki was next-level - melt-in-your-mouth perfection. The drinks complemented the food perfectly & elevated the entire experience.
On top of the incredible food, the service made the night unforgettable. Michael went above & beyond to make sure everything was perfect. His attention to detail, professionalism, & genuine care turned a great dinner into an amazing experience. Because of him, I've already decided this will be my go-to spot for future business meetings & events.
If you're in Montreal & want an unforgettable Japanese dining experience, this is the place to be.
Get the wagyu dumplings & wagyu tataki
Amazing staff Michael was amazing
