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.

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.
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.
As always hidden fish nailed it. The food, presentation & service were all excellent. Can't wait to go back. The sashimi salmon noodles were outstanding!!!
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.
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 !!)
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

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.
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.
I recently discovered an amazing place - Sushi Hidden Fish! To be honest, I've been looking for a restaurant with authentic Japanese cuisine in Montreal for a long time, & here it is! The atmosphere there is simply incredible - calm & cozy, with a modern interior, but at the same time you can feel the spirit of Japan. The sushi & sashimi are to die for! Everything is very fresh & beautifully presented. It is clear that the products are of the highest quality, & the chefs know their stuff. The prices, of course, are not the lowest, but believe me, it's worth it! The service is also top notch - the waiters are very attentive & friendly. In general, if you want to try real Japanese cuisine in Montreal, I highly recommend Sushi Hidden Fish. Just book a table in advance, otherwise there may not be any seats. J'ai récemment découvert un endroit incroyable - Sushi Hidden Fish! Pour être honnête, je cherchais depuis longtemps un restaurant avec une authentique cuisine japonaise à Montréal, & le voilà! L'atmosphère y est tout simplement incroyable - calme & confortable, avec un intérieur moderne, mais en même temps on y ressent l'esprit du Japon. Les sushis & sashimis sont à tomber par terre! Tout est très frais & joliment présenté. Il est clair que les produits sont de la plus haute qualité & que les chefs connaissent leur métier. Les prix, bien sûr, ne sont pas les plus bas, mais croyez-moi, ça vaut le coup! Le service est également de premier ordre - les serveurs sont très attentionnés & sympathiques. En général, si vous voulez goûter à la vraie cuisine japonaise à Montréal, je recommande vivement Sushi Hidden Fish. Il suffit de réserver une table à l'avance, sinon il risque de ne pas y avoir de place. #SushiHiddenFish #Montreal #JapaneseFood #AuthenticCuisine #Sushi #Sashimi #FreshIngredients #GreatService #CozyAtmosphere #ModernInterior #MustTry #Foodie #MontrealRestaurants
I've rarely written a bad review ever but this place deserves one. Food & service were so underwhelming compared to the value you're getting. This restaurant ruined my last meal of my Montreal trip. If you're out of town & looking for a good sushi spot, save yourself & just go somewhere more affordable with better sushi. We have had many good sushi/omakase in the past & even had them in Japan. So trust me, when I eat a good sushi, I know it's good. We came to this place with high expectations & were willing to splurge on good sushi since they had a good google review. However, our food was so underwhelming. We ordered scallop sashimi - so mid compare to the price we paid, Crab Maki - so mid. It was our least favourite dish & the portion is so small for the price. Chef's choice nigiri - we had high hope for this since it was a whopping $88 for 2 people (12pieces). It was okay, some was good, but it wasn't anything amazing at all. Considered the price, it's not worth it AT ALL. The service for a high end restaurant is also really bad. We ordered only 3 dishes, but everything took over 30 mins to arrive. The last dish, took 1.15 mins to serve which was INSANE. In addition, Nobody really checked up on us until the end of the night. Even more affordable restaurants had a better service than this place. Again, I wouldn't trust these google reviews at all. If you want to have a good night with reasonable priced, & higher quality sushi, please look elsewhere. Save yourself & look for another restaurant. Thank you.
Incredible sushi & exceptional service. The fishes & wagyu are aged & melts in your mouth. A good selection of sakes that pair well with both fishes & beef. We were kinda undecided so our server recommended Salmon Noodles, Sashimi Premium (24) & Nigiri (12). It was a bit too much of (raw meat) for two of us, honestly not a big fan of Salmon Noodles. Other than that, we had an excellent meal.
Every dish was exquisite. We were going to cancel our reservation because we had a flood at home from the big storm but we would have been charged $50 for canceling 24 hours before. We weren't happy about that & kept our reservation. In the end, it was a much needed culinary escape from our troubles & we thoroughly enjoyed our cocktails & courses of sashimi, nigiri & makis.
