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 😊

I had heard about this place from a friend & it was fully booked unfortunately. I did manage to come on a Sunday for dinner. It was still fairly busy, only 2 tables available.
I have to say I don't have any idea how they have such a high review. This is likely the most overhyped & overpriced sushi I've had.
The opposite of what I would call a luxury dining experience.
The first thing I'll say is the decor actually is quite nice. & the hostess was super friendly & kind & seated us quick. There was a more spacious table available & without us asking she came & asked if we wanted to change to a bigger table. We did. That's more or less where the better part of the experience ended.
Despite it being Sunday & not super busy when we went as nobody was seated after us, we didn't see the waiter for about 20 minutes. The manager who was standing about 3 meters away & watching didn't notice we hadn't been served water or asked for our drink order.
Eventually I did flag down a waiter & asked him if I could order. He said he would take out drink order but the food had to be with our server. I ordered a bottle of sake & asked him to flag our waiter for us. After 10 more minutes no one came & no drink so I flagged down another waiter to get ours. We again ordered a bottle of sake as the first hadn't been put in & some appetizers & sushi & rolls.
When I asked him to repeat our food order he had missed a roll. So I told him again. 15 mins later some food came out but still no drinks. So I flagged him down again & he asked me to repeat which drinks we wanted then said there was an error in the system & they would bring it out ASAP. As we had ordered a fair bit of food they put our sake bottle on ice away from the table, which at first seemed like a good idea, however our waiter never came back to refill our sake. From our MIA bottle. So we eventually finished the food & then I literally got up & moved our own sake bottle to the table. Waiter was quite surprised at the end when I asked for the bill & the bottle was empty as he even said he didn't remember pouring us the sake; which he didn't.
As for the food, the sashimi was okay, but overpriced & nothing to write home about. The rolls were a bit too salty for the most part, even without any soya sauce.
The exceptions: unagi house specialty roll was great & probably our favorite. The roll topped with crab was also quite good. But everything else was pretty below par.
Scallop roll with truffle was so mild in flavour I didn't even know there was truffle on it. The hamachi signature roll was a bit salty which kind of mafe it a bit overpowering.
At the end again was a struggle to get service for dessert so we just got our bill.
Definitely can't recommend this place & wouldn't go back. Again no clue how it seems to be highly rated or reviewed.
I have sushi weekly & there's way better sushi & value & just couldn't recommend hidden fish despite the hype.

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.
Sea bream sashimi 9/10
Salmon maki roll 10/10

Limited cocktail list & ridiculously highly priced… e.g Very soso Old fashion for 26$…
Sushi rolls are very good but prices are just insane… 40-70$ per rolls… the Waguy roll at 65$ may have maximum 20g of Wagyu in it…
Not a repeat for me.

Very nice vibe atmosphere dim lite & as others say fish is really fresh unique rolls

Excellent maki rolls. Nice interior. Felt a bit rushed. Would return

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.

So happy I discovered hidden fish because it is by far the best Sushi in Montreal. It is a vibrant yet cozy spot with an extensive & authentic Japanese menu. There was not one menu item ordered that lacked flavour or tasted generic. Each roll & sashimi ordered was unique & presentation was spot on. A must visit spot.
Matt
Absolutely top-tier sushi. Every roll, nigiri, & sashimi was the most elegantly & tastily prepared-so flavorful that no soy sauce was needed. Our waiter was excellent, & multiple staff members helped us throughout the meal. Everyone was incredibly attentive without being intrusive. A standout dining experience from start to finish. Highly recommend.

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.

Je suis revenu à Hidden Fish pour la 4eme fois le weekend dernier pour fêter ma graduation, & comme toujours ce fut parfait & délicieux !
C'est un des rares restaurants de Montréal où je suis toujours surpris & impressionné après plusieurs retours.
Les poissons sont parfaitement préparé, avec un vrai savoir sur les poissons vieillis (nouveauté pour moi cette fois-ci).
Le service est excellent avec des serveurs connaissants très bien leurs produits & une attention aux détails sans être trop présent.
Enfin, les plats sont toujours parfait. Les saveurs sont balancées, les nigiri/sashimi très simples, brillent par l'onctuosité du poisson cru. Les chumakis & autres « rolls » permettent d'explorer des combinaisons plus fantasques mais sans cacher le goût central de l'ingrédient.
Pour une belle occasion & si vous voulez vivre une expérience authentique, FONCEZ !

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.

Went here for my birthday & it was absolutely phenomenal. Very high end experience. Best sushi I've ever eaten (& my wife agrees with her roll, as well). Didn't even reach for the soy sauce or wasabi. The flavor was perfect.

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

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!

When you first go In, it's really pretty & the service is incredible Once you sit down it is still pretty nice then when you order the server goes through like 15 minutes of rules you can barely change any thing obout the rolls. over all not a good place for kids I as a kid writing this did not enjoy it

Everything I had here was special. I ordered green salad, 12 pieces (6 kinds) of sashimi, scallop hand roll (temaki), & seared albacore Maki (8 pieces). Fish was fresh.... But also prepared very well. The waiter, Matthew, knows so much & helped me to choose. He is very knowledgeable. I loved this place. Absolutely recommended.
Evan
Amazing experience. Sat at the sushi bar & enjoyed watching the Chefs work & insightful information on how the fish is prepared. We went with the Chefs choice sashimi & nigiri & finished with a nice Maki roll. Top Notch service & food...exactly what we were looking for.

The best sushi I had in Montréal! I ordered takeout on their website. They were very accommodating re gluten allergy. Sushi was delicious. I had sashimi, nigiri & rolls & they were all over my high expectations. This will be my go-to fancy sushi place for special occasions.

HO. LEE. SH*T... I'm a huge foodie. In my 12+ years of eating fancy, I have never teared up from a single bite of food. This was not an emotional - I'm so lucky to be here - thing, it was a physical response to how mouthwateringly decadent some of the nigiri pieces were. WOW! Wilson was a treat to us as well, really enhanced the experience. TL;DR - if you're looking for the REAL DEAL, this is the spot. Otoro, wagyu, do the thing. PS: I was a roll guy before this. Rolls are great, but if you want to experience Japan on a plate, go nigiri, you will not be disappointed
