Shushu Haru draws strong praise for vegan dishes and memorable sushi, with many noting delicious, flavorful options, a well decorated space, and a convenient canal side location. At the same time, experiences vary: service is often described as slow or uneven, and several reviewers report a gap between online menus and what is actually offered, including changes after the dedicated dining room closed and the menu appearing elsewhere. The restaurant is sometimes considered pricey, though several comments say the quality justifies the cost when the kitchen delivers, while other critiques highlight oversized sushi pieces, the choice of rice types that can overpower flavors, and a tartare that some found dull or too salty. Dishes such as zaumon tartare are singled out for mixed results, while favorites like the bun, various vegan sushi options, and sides are celebrated. Desserts have sparked debate as well, with coconut panna cotta praised by some and strawberry panna cotta described as disappointing. Allergy concerns are mentioned in one review, and the overall tone ranges from enthusiastic to cautious, but the food is repeatedly said to carry the experience and leave room for return to explore more of the vegan menu.
This place is amazing. I had the bun, sushi & zaumon tartare. Amazing. My only complain is that the tartare was salty but honestly this is one of the most fabulous vegan places I've ever eaten.

Update: Shushu Haru's dedicated dining room has closed. The menu is now available only though Shushuto nextdoor.
We tried some of our favourites from the original menu, like the Blossom sushi roll & coconut panna cotta, but the recipes have unfortunately changed.
I was very disappointed with the hard strawberry panna cotta.

Original review: ⭐?⭐?⭐?⭐?⭐?
This has become one of my new favourite restaurants. The sushi was absolutely incredible. The restaurant is well-decorated, & the location is very conveniently located right next to the canal.
The weird thing is that we came for lunch on a Saturday, & the place was surprisingly empty. It's also a bit pricey, but totally worth it.
The ramen is perfectly good. Might return for it. The service was above average. The sushi, however is a great example of less is more or don't over egg the pudding. The sushi pieces are massive. Most sushi is supposed to fit in your mouth with one bite. The use of black or forbidden rice does not add flavour or texture in a good way. It overpowers everything else. The whole thing was overwhelming & uninteresting.
The best vegan sushi we've tried anywhere in the world including San Francisco & Las Vegas. The food was absolutely delicious, authentic & farm fresh. The service was incredible too. There was no rush, they brought the food out in stages giving us time to eat slowly & enjoy our food. This was an utter treat & we will be back.

Sushis were good, but not as good as other vegan sushi restaurants in Montreal IMO. The sushi rice was lacking a bit of seasoning... Also not sticky enough, some sushis weren't holding well together. Flavours were good but some combinations were just not working for me. Overall a positive experience, I recommend to go if you're in the area, but wouldn't make a detour for it considering other options in town!
J'ai été pour les sushis véganes, c'était absolument délicieux. Le service était rapide & sincère, Louis à été de bon conseil & d'une bonne écoute tout le long. J'y retournerai assurément, soi pour découvrir d'autres plats ou pour les sushis!

Delicious vegan sushi!!! All items we ordered were fabulous. My favourites: Blossom rolls & the Gyoza but really everything tasted fresh & wonderful. Service was attentive & friendly :) Highly recommend!
Enjoyed a wonderful dinner date at this place as it has a good cozy vibe. Overall our experience was fantastic! We ordered variety of dishes. Being vegetarian it is difficult to find good Asian dishes in Montreal. We are Sushi & Ramen lovers. We ordered spring rolls with peanut butter sauce & it was the creamy sauce was utterly delicious. Secondly, Kokomaro Futomaki sushi! This is the best Sushi in Montreal I have eaten so far. Additionally we also ordered Udon noodles but this we felt the sauce was a bit salty & wasn't upto the mark. I have eaten better Udon noodles before this. However, presentation was good overall. Lastly, the ultimate Panna Cotta dessert with a blend of strawberry & coconut was very delightful!
Si vous avez envie de sushis véganes, c'est absolument un endroit à essayer! Tout était savoureux. Chaque rouleau venait avec sa sauce (délicieuse), les goûts étaient parfaits & différents d'un rouleau à l'autre. Le service était rapide & chaleureux. Je recommande fortement!
Quelle belle découverte. Je ne connaissais pas & sincèrement de loin meilleur que momo sushi...... c'est frais & les saveurs sont délectables. Très belle présentation, saveurs recherchées. Bye Momosushi hello Shushu Haru.
Great place to enjoy cruelty-free sushis. If you have the chance to book in advance, I would recommend to ask for the "hot pot". As far as I know, it's the only place in the area that you can eat that special dish. You must love mushrooms though. Sushis are excellent too.
