Went to Sakura multiple times in recent years & always loved the food & attentive service from the original owner & chef. It is in my experience the most authentic of Japanese restaurants around.

Traditional & authentic Japanese restaurant.

I've ordered the evening sushi sashimi set dinner. The food & service were both very good.

However, on the menu it says 6 pieces of sashimi, but it was actually 3 pieces but cut in half to make 6. Very dishonest & insincere business owners... Very unfortunate.

Historical authentic Japanese restaurant. They were the first one to open & they are the last one surviving.
It is simple authentic traditional Japanese food. Comforting & delicious.
Noriko Ishii will graciously welcome you . The Showa era atmosphere with Enka music in the background, friendly service & retro deco is very charming. It is the only place in Montreal where you can experience this. Enjoy while it is still here!

Authentic Japanese restaurant. Really fresh. Quality fish & rice. Nothing compared to the other ones that just wants to sell a ball of low quality rice with a little bit of some cheap fish inside. This place is real.
