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.
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!
Nous étions un groupe de 4 , j'ai adoré les sushis , tout était délicieux , le service était très rapide , les personnels sont tout gentille! Je vous recommande fortement 🥰
Not a top fancy sushi place, but that's what I want a lot of the time: a very good quality & quantity for the price sushi place. One I can enjoy the quality, be full by the end of it, & not break the bank, & Sozo fits the bill. Definitely split one of the larger plates/boats if you're with friends. Staff very receptive to any small changes incase of dietary restrictions
Loved the Wong tong soup. Me & my husband loved the dragon eye sushi & the fancy, clean atmosphere was outstanding. I hope this business thrives & I will definitely stop by next time I'm hungry.❤🤗🍥🍶👼🇯🇵
Sozo Sushi in Montreal is a real treasure the quality & freshness of the sushi are second to none. Their nigiri is simply outstanding, & the shrimp tempura I had was crisp & delicious. The variety of sushi is unique & refreshing, making every visit a new experience. The cozy atmosphere is perfect for a relaxed meal. The staff are incredibly friendly, welcoming, & professional. The sushi rolls, especially the special roll, were beautifully presented & tasted amazing. The creative & fun display added an extra touch to the dining experience. We took the 28 pieces sushi option for 2 people. It included Miso soup & Shrimp tempura. Food portion was generous. Sozo Sushi shines with its fresh ingredients, excellent service, & warm environment. Highly recommend a visit.
