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.
The price is quite high for the quality offered. The sushi, in particular, doesn't meet expectations in terms of freshness or taste. Not worth the cost.
I ordered online & let me tell you! The packaging was absolutely gorgeous. The food on another level. Wow, the sashimi was second to none, their makis so perfectly rolled & cut & the fish as fresh as it gets. They have amazing hot food as well. Their wagyu dumplings DELICIOUS! & their crispy taquitos with the salmon tartare... foodgasm! This is definitely the best delivery sushi I've had so far in Montreal. I will be going to try them in person because the pictures of the place look so beautiful !
Had a phenomenal experience highlighted by a number of creative dishes including a gorgeous crudo & very fresh sushi rolls. We especially appreciated expert Sake advice from our somellier Yuri who made our evening even more special.
It's supposed to be fine dining My boyfriend came here twice but it probably be our last time as well. Well at least we give chances to try. The bill was over 200$ Pro : The ambiance were great ! Very chic & stylish. We were outside at the terrace, highly recommend. Music was nice & cool. Cons : Staffs : very chic but not that friendly & honestly quite erogan. Food : Ordinary , quality doesn't meet expectations for the price. I am not sure if it was our luck or the food was really ordinary & quite disappointing. We don't mind the price if the food is good quality O-Toro 25 $ for 2 pcs. One of the sashimi piece was very chewy. At this price, I expect a good piece of fish that can be eaten the whole piece not just partially. I had better quality & price somewhere else. Scallop nigiri was just ok. The rice was just ok, the scallops were fresh. Salmon & tuna Tartare It was a good looking presentation dish, however the taste was nothing special. Scallop truffles roll 23$ I had a piece of something like a hard crum of quinoa ( maybe ) stuck in my tooth first bite of sushi. Besides that it was ok. Surf & turf roll was very DISAPPOINTING !! for 39$ , the Wagyu beef on the top part were VERY CHEWY ! I was surprised & wondered if that was the style of beef or it was just a mistake ? We ended up taking off the prices of wagyu , the rolls still very ordinary. White wine was ok for 19$ for very ordinary wine. Overall you pay for the cool ambience not the food. for that price range doesn't meet our expectations for food quality at all.
We had an amazing experience! Our server, Yuri, was fantastic-attentive & friendly. The food was absolutely delicious, & the fish was incredibly fresh. Definitely try the short ribs. Portions are small, just be prepared to pay $100+ per person. Highly recommended!
