Reviews describe Sozo Sushi as fresh and of high quality, with nigiri and rolls that impress even frequent diners; many call it one of the best sushi spots in Montreal and a hidden gem with a cozy, intimate vibe. The staff are consistently friendly and welcoming, with several notes about BYOB and occasional small freebies that add to the experience. The atmosphere is warm and charming, though seating can feel tight and the space a bit cramped at peak times. Some critiques include price level, the lack of menu descriptions for items like the sushi pizzas, and occasional variability in service depending on who is working. Still, many diners return for special occasions, say the fish is incredibly fresh and melt-in-your-mouth, and praise thoughtful touches like extra gifts or prompt pickups. Overall, Sozo Sushi is regarded as a top choice for fresh sushi, strong presentation, and a delightful, family-friendly or date-night option.
Loved the staff & atmosphere, they were super nice to us & these two kids there. Very affordable, & we got a free roll. Reminded me of my childhood sushi restaurant in Toronto sushi on roncy

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!
