Reviewers describe Sozo Sushi as a small, cute and cozy spot with a warm welcome and consistently fresh, beautifully prepared sushi. The fish is frequently praised for freshness and quality, with several mentions of generous portions and good presentation. The atmosphere is described as intimate and energetic, sometimes with a charming vibe. BYOB is highlighted as a major plus, allowing guests to enjoy wine with the sushi, and many note the reasonable prices for the level of quality. Service is repeatedly praised for friendliness, attentiveness, and efficiency, including quick pickups, though a few visits note occasional moments of fatigue or slower service during busy times. Several reviewers say it is among the best sushi in Montreal or the Plateau, with some calling it a hidden gem and a repeat favorite. A few comments point out the compact seating and tight spaces, but describe the overall experience as worth returning for the sushi and welcoming atmosphere.
While more expensive, this sushi place is much better than the one right next to it. I would say it is fresher & higher quality. The nigiri sells by single piece which makes it a bit prohibitive.
My only other comment is that the sushi pizzas do not come with a description in the menu, which surely can be fixed. The PFK roll packs a crunch!
so good! had to come back twice in one day. LITERALLY the best thing ive tasted in mtl when i was visiting. all lurve to the staff. they were all so friendly & kind. Will be coming back when I visit again!
This was THE BEST sushi I've had in a long time. It was super delicious & clearly the chef loves what she does. Plus it's a byob so you can bring the wine you'd like to enjoy with the best sushi around. I can't wait to come back!! 10/10 would recommend ❤?🐟
Another order at Sozo Sushi & another great experience! It's one of my favorite place in Le Plateau to order. Great selections & all ingredients are super fresh! Never disappointed & staff were all very polite, welcoming & professional. I was able to wait quietly for my pick up order & it was ready super quickly! They even give me an extra sushi gift to take home!
Excellent! On est arrivé à 8h45. Le service était très rapide, la bouffe fraîche, généreuse portion. Je viens de Gatineau & j'ai passé 3 mois dans région de Montréal & les environs.. Mont-Hilaire le sushi était très bon mais celui-ci excellent! La dame super gentille.. je recommande fortement..
My bf & I came here twice for a date night. The first time was great! The service was very quick, & super chill. Our waitress took note of when we would finish our dishes & time it so the next one would come out right away. The sushi was quite good!! They had Ghibli music playing & it was a vibe 🩵 We loved it so much we decided to come back for our anniversary.
So, the next time our waitress (different person) was also simultaneously serving & working in the kitchen as a cook. Although a rather quiet night, she seemed really frazzled, tired, & the service wasn't AS nice as last time. She was nice though, I know she was trying her best! The sushi tasted just ok for the price. There wasn't Ghibli music this time & we were greeted kind of unenthusiastically by the cook.
I will say as a shrimp hater, their shrimp tempura is amazing. It melts in your mouth. It's crispy. It's REALLY good.
The ambience is great, just a bit tight & small so when uber eats comes they have to squeeze through chairs. Otherwise it's a sweet spot!
