Stylish decor, amazing food, helpful staff. Always a pleasure visiting this bar. Drinks are unique & tasty. Prices are very fair too, so your visit there leaves you in a very good mood.
Le udon au curry au crabe… Wow c'était délicieux!!!! Mes amies ont aussi pris le udon carbonara, vraiment bon aussi. Belle ambiance, on a eu une excellente soirée!
Arrived at 17:30 on a Wedensday evening. Resto was completely empty. Was told by short, long-haired host that he could only give us the tiniest table beside the plates/napkins trolley, everything else was booked. We accepted, although we shouldn't have. 2 hours & $200 later, the restaurant was only half full. Thanks to the host for judging us to be unimportant guests who only deserved the worst table in the house. No comment on the food since I was very irritated by our mistreatment, makes the meal much less enjoyable.
Won't be returning.
It was fabulous. Noon on a Monday; there were only 8-10 other customers enjoying their lunch - so peaceful (more came in as we ate).. 70's music playing quietly in the background (our generation-we loved it). I loved my salmon tartare - delicious. He had the duck salad, which he also enjoyed. Our server was great. When we told him how much we enjoyed the music, he said it was his personal favorite golden hit's list. He said it was a totally different place in the evening - the joint would be hopping! I will definitely go back - but only for lunch.

My friend & I had a wonderful luncheon at Shushuto's on Saint-Patrick Street in Montreal.
We were warmly greeted at the door & were told to select the table we wanted. Our table service was prompt & in our own language, English, which we appreciated.
One of the real benefits of Shushuto's menu is that there's something for everyone, sushi, Asian bowls, ramen dishes, & vegan selections. I ordered the Mango salad with grilled duck breast, & my friend ordered the salmon tartare. Both were absolutely delicious & we thoroughly enjoyed them.
It should be noted that parking can be a challenge in the neighborhood of the restaurant, since there are more condo's are being built & reserved street parking is on the rise. Reservations for lunch at Shushuto are generally not needed but they are a necessity for dinner. If you do reserve for dinner, add more time to your commute to allow for parking.
Lunch at Shushuto was a great experience & one I hope everyone tries. I will definitely be back.
Unbelievable brunch! Best I've had in my many visits to Montreal. Mind you, I'm biased for Japanese cuisine. The cheesy udon was a surprise that I believe my picky aunts from Japan would have even liked. (If they could get over the amount of butter & cream.) Also, the steak katsu was tender, juicy & melt in your mouth! Don't miss the Sayonara Summer if you are into non-alcoholic like myself. I considered it my dessert. Price was well worth the food & art on the walls is so lovely. The koi & lotus flowers are all hand painted!
Take-out
First time trying shushuto, & did so for the vegan sushi.
It was DELICIOUS!!! The place has a really nice vibe, they were very busy (also a good sign) but still good service.
This will be my go to for sushi & trying other menu items
Went here for a friend's birthday dinner & we heard a lot of great things about the food & service. Safe to say, only one of those was true. To begin with, the food was delicious & it was at a reasonable price, so no complaints! Everything was going pretty well. The arrival of our food was quite slow, but i suppose to taste made up for it. We wanted the dessert menu later on & we had to leave at 8 due to another reservation. Hence, 30 minutes before we had to leave, we really wanted to order & pay. Our server for the night forgot about the menu & only gave it to us after 10 minutes after our initial request. We ordered & only 4 minutes before we had to leave did our food arrive. Mind you, we got two mango cheesecakes & the matcha ice cream. I don't know how long it takes to prepare that but it took quite a bit. Not only was our server aware that we had to leave, he reminded us when we placed our order. Nevertheless, nothing to be pressed about.
Our main concern was after we had payed & tipped, our waiter came to our table to ask whether we couldn't pay for the tip or if his service was bad. Not wanting to be rude, we said his service was alright. He later went on a tangent about how our tip n didn't cover 10% (it did)of the bill & that we should tip above that. At the end, he said that we should expect to be confronted about tipping in other restaurants & that we should tip more. This was not only extremely aggressive from his part, but frankly ruined our evening. I've lived here my whole life & this was quite the shock.
Tip is optional & coming up to us afterwards to say that was not only rude, but not deserving of any tip. If you're only being nice for money & then become rude if you don't receive it, dont be shocked when seeing this.
Went to Shushuto last night for an early Valentine's day dinner.
We had 2 of their signature sushi rolls to start, both large portions & delicious.
We then followed up with the katsu steak that you cook yourself at the table. This tasted great & also a great value. It is served with rice, a miso soup & several dipping sauces/butter to cook.
We ended with the duck confit yaki udon. Noodles were perfectly cooked & the duck was slightly overdone but still very good.
Overall a very pleasant experience. The place has nice decor, the waitstaff was attentive & kind, the food was tasty, & although the pricing is in line with most restaurants around, the portions seemed larger than expected. Would recommend.
Pleasant interior & lively atmosphere. Was not busy at all when we came in, enjoyed the 2010s songs lol.
The food was delicious, although I asked my wife to order for me without telling me what it was I enjoyed everything on the table as well as the pancake for dessert.
Paola who served ua was very nice & truly improved the experience!
