i used to be such a hidden fish hater cuz i tried it a few yrs ago & it was so boring but i finally went again last week & it was AMAZING.
everything we ordered was so delicious. salmon noodles, ora king salmon sashimi, chef choice nigiri set, & their special at the time, this ankimo maki (monkfish liver) was seriously incredible. every bite was big MMM moment. super fresh, super interesting mix of ingredients.
Thanks to Ryan for the incredible service yesterday at Hidden FIsh - he treated my godson & I to a wonderful experience. Sushi was of course so fresh, green salad tasty & miso soup at a perfect temperature. Thanks for making it a great memory for the two of us!

I recently visited this sushi restaurant & had a mixed experience overall. The ambiance was a definite highlight-stylish, relaxing, & perfect for a date night.
In terms of food, it was a bit hit-or-miss. The otoro nigiri stood out as exceptional-buttery, fresh, & beautifully presented. Comparable to ones I've had in Japan. Unfortunately, the sashimi was underwhelming, lacking the flavor & texture you'd expect at this price point. The maki rolls were decent but enjoyable enough.
The main drawback was the slow service. While the staff was polite, the wait times between courses felt too long, especially for a Monday night. The server also didn't bring soy sauce or wasabi/ginger the entire night.
Final verdict: Come for the ambiance & the otoro, but manage your expectations on the rest of the menu & service speed.
Came here with my fiancé for our last night in Montreal. I wanted to make sure we had good seafood, & the reviews & photos looked really good, so we ordered the 12 pc fresh sashimi & the 24 piece dry-aged sashimi as well.
The food was fine: the texture was nice & there was no fishy smell indicating freshness; however, if you're paying $65 to >$100 dollars on sashimi, I think the least the restaurant could do would be to give you real wasabi, not the fake tube stuff rolled into a ball.
Also, for a restaurant at this price point, inventory of the food &/or drinks should have been tracked better. We were told 3 times, certain drinks & even dessert were not available to us.
One last thing, our server was fine until after we ordered our food, which afterwards, was quite dismissive & seemed upset with us when he told us they didn't have the matcha dessert for the night. It was quite off-putting.
If you want really good sushi/sashimi, save the money for a trip to Japan to get the good stuff for a better price.
The best sashimi in Montreal. Went there three times & everything is always so fresh & tastes so good. They also have very nice drinks. It's the place I always recommend to raw fish lovers. We really appreciate the nice & cozy atmosphere too.
I don't think I need to say much about Hidden Fish…😂 This is my favourite sushi place in Montreal. The quality here is amazing, it is pretty hard to find a raw-fish restaurant for this freshness in Canada with this price range. The dishes also have uniquely delicious flavours & uncommon but super tasty combinations. The chef just really knows how to surprises his guests. It is definitely a must-try experience if you are a foodie or just simply visiting Montreal.

My brother & I have tried so many sushi restaurants in montreal, but literally no one can beat the taste & freshness of Hidden fish's sashimi & maki . We've been coming back over & over again for the last 4 years & every single time the food, service & vibe were immaculate! ( P.S : Maki Nobunaga is to die for !!)
The food is simply perfection. As a fish & sushi lover, this place is my go-to. Ordered mostly the fish on the menu, not the sushi because the fish is out of this world. I did find that the waiter did not give the menu the attention it deserved. Not everyone knows the different kinds of fish & he didn't go through it extensively. At the price we are
Paying, I would have appreciated a more extensive run-down of what is being offered on the menu. I had 2 friends who didn't eat fish & the waiter didn't accommodate to them, rather told them to'just try the fish'. Aside from that, the quality & freshness of the food never ceases to impress me.
Exceptionally delicious. The fish is very fresh, & the taste is amazing. It is expensive though, so expect to pay around 150-210 CAD per person. But definitely worth the try.
They age fish & wagyu in-house, & charge a hefty premium on the aged pieces as compared to the already very expensive staples.
With interesting ingredients & aged meats, I was really looking forward to the meal. Overall, I had nothing bad, but It's not really the sushi experience I hoped for. Everything was smothered in fragrant sauces & toppings, taking away from the delicate flavours of the component ingredients & the star proteins. If I had gone in not expecting sushi, but a Japanese-fusion crudo experience, i probably would have felt better. At the same time, I would not have ordered the premium cuts.
Sitting at the counter with the meat aging fridge right in front of me, I could not pass up a chance to try some. We ordered the aged otoro sashimi, which came topped with some caviar. It was probably the best dish of the night, as it had the least added sauce/seasoning. It was not the richest otoro, & I could not discern any difference in texture or flavour from non-aged, but it had a nice bite & flavour all the same.
We tried several different nigiri. This was where the sushi-disappointment set in. The rice was really heavily seasoned, almost like a sweet teriyaki, & every piece of fish was first slathered in strong sauce & then covered with pungent toppings. The unagi was ok, as the Smokey flavour of the Bonito topping complemented the eel, & you are expecting a sweet & saucy bite anyway. The chutoro was the least sauced, but was also the least fresh tasting of the fish.
In the rolls, we ordered a vegetable & pickle roll, a tuna roll, & a crab roll. The veg & crab were in a soy skin instead of nori, which didn't have much flavor & had an odd texture. The crab was probably my favourite of the three, as the meat flavour went well with the very sweet sauce.
The staff were all very nice & very helpful, & service was relaxed & low pressure, which I appreciated.
At well over $400 for two, where I left still hungry, I highly doubt I will return. Sad because the ingredients have so much potential
C'est une première pour moi à un restaurant de sushis authentiquement Japonais & non un All You Can Eat. Le restaurant est situé en plein centre-ville, armé vous de patience pour trouver du stationnement. L'endroit est juste au Sud de Ste-4. L'endroit est plutôt sombre pas très lumineux & non achalandé, juste quelques tables sont occupées (3) À l'accueil on peut disposer nos manteaux pour être plus à l'aise. La banquette semble plus confortable que les chaises. Il y a plus de serveurs que de clients donc services très personnalisés. On nous expliquent clairement les caractéristiques de chaque sushis. Une fois la commande passée il y a une petite attente étant donné qu'ils nous sert fraîchement fait pour chaque commande. Je ne suis pas un expert en sushis !!! J'ai aimé le goût & surtout la présentation mais je ne pourrais pas dire qu'il est de loin supérieure aux sushis des autres restos. Oui on peut voir clairement qu'il y a moins de riz & que le goût est plus prononcé & offre une bonne sensation dans la bouche. J'ai pris les sushis avec boeuf Wagyu ainsi que les crevettes. Le dessert est différent de ce qu'on est habitué habituellement. Excellent endroit calme, la température est correcte, je ne me rappel plus s'il y avait de la musique bon point parce que je n'aime pas parler fort ni entendre la musique qui bourdonnent les oreilles. This is a first for me at an authentic Japanese sushi restaurant & not an All You Can Eat. The restaurant is located in the city center, so be patient to find parking. The location is just south of Ste-4. The place is rather dark, not very bright & not busy, just a few tables are occupied (3) At reception we can lay out our coats to make ourselves more comfortable. The bench seems more comfortable than the chairs. There are more servers than clients, therefore very personalized services. The characteristics of each sushi are clearly explained to us. Once the order is placed there is a small wait as they serve us freshly made for each order. I'm not a sushi expert!!! I liked the taste & especially the presentation but I couldn't say that it is far superior to the sushi at other restaurants. Yes we can clearly see that there is less rice & that the taste is more pronounced & offers a good feeling in the mouth. I had the sushi with Wagyu beef as well as the shrimp. The dessert is different from what we are usually used to. Excellent quiet place, the temperature is correct, I don't remember if there was music good point because I don't like speaking loudly or hearing music that rings in my ears.
I think this was the best sashimi & nigiri I have ever had! The fish was phenomenal. It was so tasty & fresh & almost melted in your mouth. All of us really enjoyed the meal. The atmosphere is really nice very quaint & the service was fantastic.

Best sushi I have had. Whatever negative reviews there are, I would ignore them & try the restaurant anyways(as we did!). Service was impeccable, presentation was amazing, & the freshness of the fish was perfect. Will definitely return, & have already suggested to friends & family!
Hidden Fish is a cozy & charming spot for sushi lovers! Their fresh salmon is absolutely delightful & a highlight of the menu. It's easily one of the best places to enjoy sushi, with a focus on quality & a relaxing atmosphere. Highly recommended for anyone looking for an exceptional sushi experience. Don't forget to reserve in advance!
The service & atmosphere 10/10. Waiter was well-informed & the chef's seemed very competent! Not all every sushi piece was great but overall, it is a good-tasting sushi restaurant. It's the aftermath that did not sit so well. I am not sure how fresh their ingredients were for the 5pm sitting but immediately after leaving the restaurant, I could feel that the food was not going to sit well. Food poisoning? I'm sure you can fill in the blanks of what happened as soon as I got home. I've eaten at numerous sushi restaurants all over Japan & at fish markets as well; never had this kind of stomach upset at an somewhat middle/high-end restaurant. TBD if I'd try again with my friends. But thumbs up for the vibe & service.
Sushi Hidden Fish Beautiful, Elegant, Elevated. A Truly impressive sushi experience, I heard great things but was not prepared for the level of skill, incredible taste & freshness. The decor is a notable highlight, large selection of imported Saki, they have a private room upstairs for larger groups as well, equally beautiful as the rest of the spaces. The Nigiri was my favorite, 6 assorted pieces.. spoke to the waiter & asked for another round & it came out completely different the second time, which was an amazing surprise! the Blue-fin tuna was my favorite. I tried the Uni, the Waygu Beef & a couple other unique rolls, All perfect. Overall the experience was one for the books, I will surely be back & with more colleagues. Thanks for having me. Cheers!
