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.

This was fantastic. The quality & craftsmanship of everything we had was over the top. The least amazing dish was the gyoza, which was still good.

We recently had a positive experience at Sho Dan Sushi in Montreal. After a day of Browse the fantastic boutiques & shops nearby, it was the perfect place to unwind & grab a bite. The sushi was fresh, with a beautiful, clean flavor, & the staff were very friendly, which made the whole experience even better. It's a great spot for anyone looking for delicious, high-quality sushi & excellent service, especially when you're in the mood for a shopping break.

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.

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.
