This is, without a doubt, the best sushi experience I've ever had & not just in Canada.
I've tried countless premium sushi spots across different countries, & Hidden Fish still stands at the very top for me.
I first visited about a year ago & returned again this week, & the quality has remained exactly the same: absolute perfection. Not even the slightest drop.
From the moment you walk in, the experience is thoughtful. The hostess is warm, very welcoming, & genuinely engaging.
The ambiance & interior strike a perfect balance, refined & elegant, yet comfortable. It feels luxurious without being intimidating or pretentious.
The service continues to impress throughout. The staff know the menu inside out. Even when simply shown a picture, they can immediately identify the dishes. They also give precise, thoughtful recommendations that are actually spot on. They're attentive, quick, & efficient, yet never rushed. Friendly, but with just the right level of professionalism & boundaries.
& then, the food.
The nigiri are truly out of this world! Each piece feels like a complete journey. It starts with one flavor & sensation, evolves midway into something new, & finishes with a lingering final note. It's incredible how much depth & progression can exist in a single bite.
The wagyu was the best I've ever had! You can literally taste the quality. It's not just good, it's craftsmanship at its highest level.
The sashimi & maki are equally exceptional. With this place, there's no risk of ordering the wrong thing. Every dish delivers. Nothing feels average or forgettable.
An absolutely beautiful sushi spot with an elegant atmosphere. The chefs are Japanese, & you can truly taste the authenticity & craftsmanship in every dish. The menu offers a great selection of different dishes. We had sashimi & maki rolls. Everything was fantastic. Maki had unique combinations & were perfectly balanced & delicious. Plating was beautiful. A wonderful place for a special evening or simply to enjoy high-quality, beautifully prepared sushi.

A Masterclass in Culinary Orchestration & Hospitality
Visiting from out of town, my son & I were searching for a definitive sushi experience in Montreal. From the moment we stepped into Hidden Fish, we were met with a level of hospitality that was as immediate as it was genuine. Despite not having a reservation, we were welcomed without hesitation & seated at the sushi bar, the best seats in the house to witness Executive Chef Haruo & his team operate like a finely tuned orchestra.
While the entire staff was exceptional, our primary server, Matthew, was instrumental in making the evening perfect. He ensured every detail was attended to with grace, striking the ideal balance between professional attentiveness & warm engagement. Under his care, the service flowed seamlessly, allowing us to focus entirely on the culinary artistry.
The precision of the kitchen is matched only by the complexity of the flavors. Several'movements' in this performance were particularly standout:
Hokkaido Scallop Sashimi: A delicate balance of textures where the Miyoga & Ikura provided a sophisticated brightness against the Tosazu dressing.
Miyazaki A5 Wagyu Tataki: Truly exceptional. The roasted garlic & garlic-ginger BBQ sauce enhanced the richness of the A5 beef without overshadowing its quality.
Chutoro Nigiri: A masterstroke of simplicity & melt-in-your-mouth texture.
Salmon Gravlax Maki: A highlight of creative engineering with salmon marinated with beetroot. The combination of Kizami Wasabi, fried onion, & Akazu vinegar rice created a complex, multi-layered sensory experience.
Chef Haruo & his masterful team, anchored by Matthew's outstanding service, have created a venue where technical excellence meets heartfelt hospitality. This wasn't just a meal; it was a sensory experience that outshone any sushi encounter we've had before. We will be returning to Montreal specifically to sit at this bar again.
Petit souper d'anniversaire, on c'est installé vers 19:00 à notre table. Déjà belle réception, les gens sont sympathiques. On se prend un petit cocktail maison, délicieux quoi qu'un peu onéreux. Ensuite on se lance dans des sashimi, tout en fraîcheur, magnifiques. Puis des makis spécialités de l'endroit, tout est un vrai délice. On accompagne cela d'une bonne bouteille de sake, une belle carte pour les amateurs. Coup de coeur sur le maki le blanc! Oui une facture qui monte rapidement mais un délice pour les amateurs de sushis & les grandes occasions!
Selon moi, LE meilleur restaurant de sushi à Montréal. Tout étais parfait ! Ambiance, service , & surtout nourriture. Les sushis étais frais, les recettes recherchés & que dire des présentations!

I would say the recent reviews about this place going downhill are true. We have been here a few times over the last few years & absolutely enjoyed our meals, spending hundreds per person each time. Premium prices but ok for us if the food is good. Tonight however we were quite disappointed. We ordered the 3 person chefs selection nigiris, & the selection was a bit cheap - a third of it was sea bream & a lot of it was the cheaper fish. I think we paid more as a chefs selection than if we had selected the nigiri's ourselves. The chutoro was fishy & so was another one of the maki's. We had flagged this a few times & were told they would tell the chefs but the response was a'the tuna is normally more fishy'. (I've eaten high quality sushi all of my life in Vancouver & Japan - that's not true). On the plus side we really enjoyed our dessert. Maybe it was an off night but even after politely expressing our concerns nothing was really done except for trying to gas light us into thinking fishy tuna at this price point is normal. Will not be returning.
A real hidden gem! Our new sushi place for sure! Loved the amazing decor & atmosphere! The service was phenomenal. Friendly & attentive! The staff work really well together. They hardly miss a beat. & we took a spicy margarita which we highly recommend. We judge restaurants by the quality of their cocktails & they unknowingly met the challenge. Also, the sushi was delicious. The Crab maki roll was my personal favourite out of 4 maki rolls. Looking forward to trying some different ones next time. Ryan was our fantastic server. Dessert was very good too. Thank you 😊
Finally found a sushi place with great ambiance. The sushi & sashimi were fresh, high quality with great flavors. It's a nice spot that I'd definitely go back to.

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.
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.
Super service & très bonne nourriture! Endroit parfait pour fêter une occasion spéciale ou un anniversaire. Mention exceptionnelle au maki de wagyu A5.

Treated my boyfriend for his birthday, & it exceeded all expectations! Every bite was sooo good. We decided to try to some special tender pieces we hadn't had before, notably o-toro & chutoro, which melted in our mouth & left us speechless with how good they were! Our server was attentionate & knowledgeable, at first we ordered the 30piece sashimi mix but he recommended 12 would be a more appropriate quantity. I appreciate the honesty, & he was right. Another high note is the rolls, chu maki. They're my favourite item because they're complex, but every flavor & texture is justified to form the final fireworks. At the end of the meal, they treated us to a dessert for his birthday. Overall, Hidden Fish is a really great spot. It was expensive, but I was extremely happy with our experience.
I'm not usually easily impressed with sushi place, however this completely exceeded my expectations. Absolutely incredible experience. Food was tasty & intricate. Love Wagyu Maki & 6pcs chef selection Nigiri. The interior decor & the ambience are wonderful. Highly recommended this place.
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 !!)
This is hands down the best sushi I've ever had! We went with the Chef's choice for both the Sashimi & Nigiri, & it was the perfect decision. Every bite was packed with incredible flavour & absolutely delicious. We also tried the Salmon Tartare Maki & Tuna Tartare Maki, which were both outstanding. The service was top-notch, with knowledgeable & friendly staff. I'll definitely be back. After this experience, I don't think I could go back to regular sushi! Thanks for an unforgettable dinner.
This is definitely the best place I've visited for sushi. Nigiri are their specialty. Their menu is expensive, but it is justified by the top-notch quality of all the ingredients. Everything I tried was simply delightful. All the plates were incredible. These were the best nigiri I ever tried. Everything was memorable. But the O-Toro nigiri was the highlight. It stood out from all the others. I will never forget the taste... Simply outstanding! The Tuna tataki was insanely good. The maki were also very good. The waiter's knowledge of all the plates & drinks was very impressive. It is obvious that the whole team is professional & offers an incredible service. The inside was beautiful & the atmosphere was very cozy. Desserts were also good. I will certainly come back to try out their other nigiri! I don't know if I will ever enjoy sushi from other restaurants, now that I tasted this quality!!
