Sushi incroyable, frais & savoureux. Le service est juste impeccable & rapide. Les serveurs sont attentifs & c'était une ambiance chaleureuse. On sera de retour!
OK not a big sushi fan. But this was amazing. From the dimly lit place to the slick service. The food was exceptional & definitely a great date venue. Or great for women to catch up & moan about men.
overall, this is a very tasty sushi restaurant. The food is top-notch, & the restaurant itself is located very nicely & has a very nice decoration.
The reason this restaurant is not a five star for me is due to how long it took for the food to arrive. Part of our order arrived in 30 minutes or so, & the rest was just about one hour & a half.
I finally made it to Hidden Fish , & it exceeded every expectation I had! This restaurant has been on my list for years, & it was absolutely worth the wait. From the moment we walked in, the service was top-notch. We were lucky to have Matthew as our server, & he went above & beyond by curating a tasting menu for us. Every single dish he brought out was incredible-there wasn't a single miss.
The attention to detail, the flavors, & the presentation were all exceptional. You can tell the team truly cares about their craft. It's rare to have a dining experience where everything is a hit, but this was exactly that-a perfect 5/5. I can't wait to come back!

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
Amazing atmosphere, food that made you experience something new with every bite, & an outstanding & passionate waiter in Wilson who took the time to make us a menu, & excited us for the next course by detailing its specialties. Very nice experience overall, will be back!

We had such a wonderful experience yet again. Thank you to our server Charlie & to the whole Culinary Team at the sushi bar. The food was out of this world & service was impeccable. A special thanks to one of the Chef for the little treat at the end! We will be back for sure next time we are in Montreal!
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.
Never have I ever had a nicer server than Charlie. As someone who has worked in a Japanese restaurant for years, I appreciate a person who understands their knowledge & etiquette.

As someone who has worked as a sushi chef, I've had my fair share of incredible seafood. But this place completely blew me away. Every single bite had me saying, wow that's the best I've ever had. The salmon, the tuna, the uni, even the rice.. The quality, balance & attention to details were on another level.
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.
