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.
We love the ShuShu family of restaurants! We enjoyed trying your new tasting menu at Haru. The food is always so flavourful & portions are abundant. We will certainly be back to try the next menu. For those who don't want the tasting menu it would be good if you kept a few more items from your take out menu for light eaters.

I just came today to tried the new set menu of Shushu Haru, hotpot for snow day is perfect. There are so many vegie which is combined with tomyum broth. Highly recommend.
As usual, it was a family outing.... The place is nice , not for kids though... The food was mouthwatering, subtle & full of flavors ... The portions were good, we were super hungry didnt photograph all the plates we ordered ... We had the Gua Bao which I definetly recommend, some sweet potato truffle fries, a selection of sushi with the set menu & yakisoba veggie noodles ... Check the pics Oh & we went on Sunday & had trouble finding a place to park ....
Excellent sushis, abordable, plutôt petit donc ambiance feutrée, service un peu lent, pas complètement bilingue mais avec un effort sincère de parler français.

This place serves extremely delicious & reasonably priced food. We had the Bao oyster mushroom, the gyoza & the Hawaiian hot dish & udon noodle hot dish. For dessert we had the mango & strawberry sticky rice. Everything was excellent. Highly recommend.
The 18-piece sushi combo (20$) is a good deal. Fresh, tasty plant-based sushi made of whole foods ingredients. They prepared my takeout order in a timely manner. Convenient location near the Lachine Canal, not far from Atwater Market. Although I did not dine-in, the ambiance seems lovely as well.

The service was great, fast & so very kind. The food was absolutely delicious. We ordered a miso soup, a mushroom sushi pizza & some hosomakis, it was all delectable. I would very much recommend the sushi pizza, if I had to pick a favorite, it was, according to my girlfriend, & I quote: "the best thing I've ever put in my mouth".
The food, as usual was exceptional! The service was a bit slow, we site for more than 2 hours. I would Highly recommend that you do something about your water, il taste like raw st-Laurent water. Maybe think of filter, adding lemon or lot of people ice could help...
The service was overall great, & we are looking forward to our next visit. We're eating 4/5 for service because the initial order took more than 20 minutes, & was not acknowledged. Otherwise the server was very nice!
Have tried a few things here for both takeout & dine-in - super fresh, so beautifully well prepared, it’s an art. For those allergic to a lot of seafood like me, or have chosen vegan for all the obvious benefits - Shushu does an amazing job mirroring different sushi textures & umami flavours with just veg. It’s so impressive & delicious!
