This is a pseudo-Japanese restaurant owned & run by some Canadians who might not have even been to Japan, in spite of its name & deco. I did not see a single Asian face on the staff. This probably should tell you how genuine their Japanese food is. The food came with nice decorations in small portions but did not taste Japanese, without even being accompanied by wasabi & soya sauce. When we requested these condiments, the waiter asked for 5$ for a ¼ pea-sized portion of wasabi & another $5 for some ginger. Funny. The restaurant should really be called a bar because most customers (10 or so) there were just having a drink. They were probably working in the building & had a happy hour after work. Only 3-4 tables of guests were dinner guests. 90% of the tables were empty all evening. Some rather loud music was playing; this was annoying, as we just wanted a quiet dinner & to have some conversation. Although, in theory, on the 45th floor above, we should have a nice view of Mont Royal & St. Laurent River, the view was spoiled by construction cranes nearby & by the ugly white roofs of the building next to 1 Place Ville-Marie. It is a total disappointment for us. Those positive reviews were probably written by the owner's friends, by companies doing it for a profit, or even by AI. In all fairness, the service was good, & the waiters were friendly.

La qualité des sushis est excellente. Le chef & sa brigade maîtrisent leur art. Chacun des plats commandés était extraordinaire. La fine tranche de jalapeno sur le nigiris de hamachi amène un tout petit peu de piquant, les nigiris de Toro sont fondants, ceux de saumon parfaitement torchés, le pork belly était savoureuse tout comme les boules de poulet. Les cocktails sont à la hauteur de ce que la cuisine produit. Les barmans connaissent leurs produits & sauront vous conseiller pour trouver quelque chose qui va s'accorder avec vos goûts. La vue & l'espace sont spectaculaires. C'est idéal pour un rendez-vous romantique ou une soirée avec des amis au sommet de Montréal.

Last night was an absolute delight! The warm welcome from the hostesses set the perfect tone. Louis, our server, was incredibly attentive & took such great care of us during the entire night. Our welcome cocktail crafted by Carl was a masterpiece of heart & detail. The bar staff, including Marshall, Alexi, & Dolan, amazed us with their exceptional cocktails. & the pinnacle was Chef Gary & the kitchen staff spoiling us with top-quality sashimi platters, sushi, maki & meat. A huge thank you to everyone involved!
