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.
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.
Very nice place & very welcoming !! Perfect for a first date in my opinion if he or she loves sushi, cause I loved it 5 years ago when my now husband brought me there ;) & it's always nice to go back now. The quality is still fantastic & the people are nice. I recommend !!! For sure getting back soon :))
Les sushis sont excellents!! Très bon service ! Belle ambiance. Prenez note que la facture monte rapidement pour ceux qui ont un bon appétit & qui aime le vin 🍷 . Je le recommande
Sho Dan in Montreal is a fantastic restaurant! The food is delicious, & the service is top-notch. From the sushi to the noodle dishes, everything is expertly prepared & presented. The staff is friendly & attentive, making for a wonderful dining experience. Highly recommended!
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.

J'y vais depuis plusieurs années. Ce sont les meilleurs sushis à Montréal !!! Le service est excellent !!! Je vous recommande fortement :) Un incontournable !
The food was amazing! We went for our 3-year anniversary & had a great time. The ambiance was nice, the wine was delicious. Very much recommend for dates!
Repas délicieux dans un décor très classe, le service est courtois, rapide & dans un français impeccable. Rien à redire sinon de le recommander à tous ceux qui aiment la cuisine japonaise.
We loved our dinner at Sho-Dan! My daughter has a shrimp allergy & this is the only restaurant where she can safely eat sushi. The food is delicious (try the black cod & jade specialties, as well as the eel) & the kitchen is impeccably clean. Service was terrific. Our server recommended dishes, & helped us work around the shrimp ingredients in some of our selections. We had a great evening & recommend this restaurant.
La nourriture est toujours aussi délicieuse. La qualité est toujours au rendez-vous depuis de nombreuses années. Le service est courtois. Je recommande l'assiette de Sashimis.
