About

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

Overall, Shô-Dan is praised for outstanding classic sushi alongside inventive, unforgettable creations, with fresh ingredients, meticulous presentation, and a refined ambiance that blends elegance with a welcoming energy. Service is attentive and friendly, and the open kitchen, a pianist, and the chic setting enhance the dining experience. The menu pairs traditional nigiri with bold specialty rolls that impress, and a varied wine list complements meals well. While prices are on the higher side, they align with other top sushi spots and many feel that the quality and creativity justify the cost, with occasional minor issues such as edamame being a touch overcooked or rare service gaps.

Un endroit qui vieillit mal, quand on se force trop en cuisine... trop c'est pas assez, & le pianiste est trop bruyant.

Nous avons donné carte blanche à notre serveur pour un souper à partager à deux. Chaque plat était plus succulent que le précédent. Qualité & fraîcheur des ingrédients exceptionnelle. Ambiance chaleureuse avec pianiste. Nous avons passé un très agréable moment !

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

Very expensive for what you get. The specialty rolls are too busy & lose sight of what sushi is meant to be. On a positive note, I did not feel sick after eating here.

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.

First, the food,delicious beyond control, they have perfected their menu, & their food presentation is 👌, for the service we had the nicest man I've ever seen he helped me learn how to use chopsticks & now I'm a professional, he was super professional & every time I took a sip of water another kind guy waiter would rush over & give me an instant refill, the atmosphere was perfect the layout of the building, the washrooms, the front desk, the tables & chairs, the candles they give you while you eat, the flowers on the tables, almost everything about it is perfected to the point where I don't understand how this is only a 4.5 star resturant. It was so good that I don't know where they could improve.

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.
