Overall a little expensive for the quality. It's good but not really worth the price. Nice variety with some interesting sushi options. The restaurant itself is absolutely beautiful. Impeccable service.

If you like sushi, this is an absolute must-go restaurant. Not only does the chef create outstanding classic sushi, but they also introduce you to unique, unforgettable creations you won't find anywhere else.

We trusted the server to choose for us-& we definitely did not regret that decision. It made the experience even better.

Keep in mind that you get what you pay for. The prices are on the higher end, but they're in line with other high-quality sushi restaurants & absolutely worth it.

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.

The sushi & sashimi are very good. Tempura & black cod are okay but not remarkable. Overall, the food is good, & price is not bad. The sushi & sashimi platters are excellent. Service is prompt. The restaurant seems very clean, & it's nice that they have a pianist playing soft music in the background. Very busy place, so I would recommend making a reservation.

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.
