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.
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!
Really good & fresh sushi! They even gave us free dragon eye, which was very much appreciated.
Not a lot a place to sit but it's a very cute & cozy atmosphere.
Will definitely come back :)
Food was ok but definitely not good enough for the price. Some all you can eat sushi places with the same rate has such high quality food, but not this one. Bathrooms were disgusting. Service was alright. But if you want good food, go somewhere else.
Give this place a try when you're craving authentic Japanese sushi in the middle of Montreal's amazing urban wonders! The staff is very friendly, & the sushi is as authentic as it gets. This will definitely be one of the restaurants I visit again when I come back!

Went to this restaurant with a friend of mine yesterday & it was a memorable experience. The sushi was one of the best I had in a while, very fresh. The place is very cozy (though slightly dimmer lights would make it even better!), the staff is very kind (shoutout to the waitress who gave impeccable service!)
I will absolutely go back when I can & will probably be my go-to spot for sushi when I get a craving & I'm in the area!
If you're a sushi lover, this place is an absolute must-visit! From the moment you step inside, you're greeted with a warm & inviting atmosphere. The staff is incredibly friendly & knowledgeable, making sure you feel right at home. The sushi here is absolutely top-notch. Each piece is meticulously crafted with the freshest ingredients, & the flavor combinations are just out of this world. The fish is incredibly fresh, practically melting in your mouth with each bite. What sets this restaurant apart is not just the food but the attention to detail & the passion for sushi that shines through every aspect of the experience. Highly recommend for anyone looking for an authentic & delicious sushi meal!
I had such a great experience at SOZO sushi. My friends & I loved the sushi & the freshness of the fish. The staffs are also super friendly & professional especially for the waitress with tattoos. I would definitely recommend this restaurant!
