About us

Shô-Dan is the product of the friendship of three young chefs, passionate about cuisine and art. Loaded with talent, they use the artistic baggage and years of experience in the kitchen to make your outing at one of their restaurants an unforgettable event.

The à la carte menu at Shô-Dan is very elaborate, creative and ideal for those who want to take a chance. Among the specialties are the succulent blueberry sushi, Blue Shadow and the sushi pizza, served on a bed of rice with spicy mayonnaise and smoked salmon. Many different creations are offered, and change every week. The plates are presented in the traditional Japanese aesthetic and reflect the artistic talent of the chefs. A warm service is offered by a young and dynamic team that is always smiling.

To distinguish itself from other sushi restaurants, Shô-Dan accepts special orders. The chefs will try to satisfy your every wish. It is also possible and quite gratifying, to add a perfectly matched wine to your sushi selection. Both establishments are spacious and can welcome over 150 people. The large sushi bar surrounds the chefs and allows you to see them at work. During your visit, you will immerse yourself into the authentic culinary spirit of Japan.

Review Summary

Shô-Dan earns praise for fresh, beautifully presented sushi and inventive, high quality dishes housed in an upscale yet welcoming setting. Specialty rolls like Cancun and Black Dragon stand out for creativity, and the service is consistently attentive, making it a great spot for a shopping break or celebration. Prices are on the higher side and a few items miss the mark, with overcooked edamame or bland non specialty rolls mentioned, but the overall experience is described as refined, delicious, and worth returning for. The emphasis on freshness, thoughtful presentation, and a memorable atmosphere, along with friendly staff and dessert options, rounds out a standout dining experience.

Delightful sushi, amazingly fresh fish, original flavours & textures- definitely some of the best sushi in the city. Yes the price is steep, but it is reflected in the quality & quantity of the fish, beautiful presentation, & great service.

First time in shodan for lunch. We have ordered the sushi plate for 2 & added a sushi pizza. I believe if we will be just full only have sushi plate for 2.adding pizza we r too full. The fish are so fresh! However I find the rice is abit too soft & doesn't taste enough vinegar. Thus 4/5 for the food. Service is good, atmosphere is good. Will come back & try the dinner menue, heard the specialty rolls are good too. Sushi pizza is covered by smoked salmon. Find the rice is not crispy enough or maybe too thin to taste the crispness.

Wakame salad & fusion sushi were amazing. But the fish in sashimi was below average & the pieces were falling apart. Service was good.

Sho-Dan, in my opinion, offers some of, if not the best, sushi in the city. This is a place highly frequented for business lunches & for good reason. The quality of the fish is always incredibly fresh & the rolls are expertly prepared. They offer very unique types of rolls which avoid the use of cheap fillers like tempura & spicy mayo, & you consistently get excellent cuts of fish. I highly recommend every roll I've tried on the menu (which by now is almost everything), but I have to say that the lawyer is my favourite, a very unique roll. This is not your traditional Japanese sushi dining experience (ie. This is not a place that focuses on sashimi & basic maki rolls, although they can be ordered), but the specialty rolls are truly out of this world & justify their price. Highly recommend this place for a nice sushi experience. I've been here for dinner & lunch & had excellent experiences for both services.

Sho-dan targets the business crowd located in Montreal's downtown core. The wine list is fine, the patrons are fine, the dining is fine, & the prices match. While the fish is merely of reasonable quality, the chef put a lot of thought into creating interesting rolls that feature texture, taste & aroma.
