Offering a refreshing, contemporary, and all-vegan Japanese cuisine, Sushi Momo is a sophisticated twist from traditional Japanese sushi. With 10 years of experience, chef Christian Manuel Ventura Alatorre opened Sushi Momo in December 2014, and has been getting much praise from day one. Christian's creations are both enjoyable and extremely creative. Christian wanted to give Montrealers the most options for vegan sushi in the entire city.
Reviews consistently praise Sushi Momo for its vegan, creative sushi and striking presentations, with the cozy, intimate ambiance and attentive service often highlighted as a standout part of the experience. The menu offers a wide range of flavors and formats, from inventive sushi and omakase style tastings to flavorful cocktails, appealing to vegan, vegetarian, and curious diners alike. Some critiques note that certain dishes can be heavy due to fried elements or sauces, and a few experiences have been slowed by wait times or variable pacing, particularly during peak hours or delivery. Reservations are frequently advised, and many feel the overall experience justifies the price, describing it as one of the best vegan sushi experiences in Montreal and a memorable place to return to with friends or partners. Overall, the emphasis is on quality, creativity, and care in preparation, making Sushi Momo stand out as a top option for vegan sushi.
Before I visited here I heard many good things but this place was so much better than what I was expecting. The restaurant itself is stunning. So natural & beautiful. A earthy & simple vibe which relaxed me but when the food started coming it was anything but simple. The flavours were so complex & I could tell that so much effort went into each dish, each sushi roll & everything we were served. The presentation was amazing & the service was great. I was very impressed & I think I will need to stop in here on every trip I make to Montreal because this place was heaven!
Vegan food at its finest! Incredible restaurant. My first time trying vegan food & I was so lucky I was able to try Momo Sushi. Super complex in flavour, I was intrigued! Extremely delicious food. A must go when in Montreal! Service was also excellent. The coworkers are super friendly & explain every dish. I had the Omakase menu & can only recommend. A fair amount of food (for me was more than enough) & the price is just excellent. Overall a wonderful experience. Congratulations to this incredible idea & the hard work!

This vegan sushi is mind blowing & lives up to the hype. We could not believe the flavours & textures they were able to produce with only plants. One of the best sushi experiences we've ever had. The chefs platter is worth the money
Visited the dine in location today with my wife May 2024 & it was amazing. We are here on a trip from Hamilton, ON. We are vegetarian & this was hands down the best vegetarian sushi we have both ever eaten. The only thing that comes close is Tenon in downtown Toronto which is amazing this this is at another level when it comes to creativity, flavours & presentation. Overall this was an expert display of textures. I thought that every dish was a delicate combination of crunch, soft along with mixtures of umami, sweet, salty & spicy. For appetizers we got the Japanese Arancini which was hot crunchy & loved the sauces. Next for Futomaki we got the Chou-Chou (top row with yellow coating). We loved the tempura cauliflower inside. The middle row coated in avocado was the big momo which was my favourite - highly recommend. The bottom row was the GYU maki tempura which was also amazing. On the left edge was the Aubergine Falmbée (flamed eggplant) crispy rice - this one was amazing & the flammed eggplant created unique flavour that we never tasted before & was amazing. On the right edge was the avocat & ail noir (Avacado & Black garlic); my only comment would that this one tasted like a guacamole topping & perhaps next time I would try one of the other Cripsy rice Overall I thought it was amazing & was worth the price. I will be coming back here if I ever visit Montreal again & will be bringing friends & family here in the future. Service was great too considering we were English speakers. My only other comment would be that an English menu would be helpful as I kept having to enter the a picture onto Google translate.
This vegan sushi place is absolutely amazing! The flavours bursting from every bite makes you want to go back again & again. I personally like pani puri & soba mango salad in the starters. Sushi - Delhi, big momo, Sakura. They have a wonderful drinks menu & cocktails are fantastic!
One of the best Vegan sushi restaurants in canada. Consistent in their flavours, textures & taste. Been coming here every trip to Montreal past few years & found the good quality the same. Exceptional service & good ambiance Never have I seen such innovative flavours in vegan/ vegetarian sushi. Great combos & interesting options. Always spoilt for choosing what to order. Would definitely come back again when I revisit Montreal. Great job Sushi Momo for being so consistent in keeping the standards so high.
Absolutely incredible vegan sushi! The atmosphere is amazing, warm & classy. The way the sushi replicates classic flavours with vegan ingredients totally surprised me - delicious!

Will always be one of my favourite restaurants in Montreal. Unique, bursting with flavour, so well balanced. I hesitate to even call this vegan sushi because as a non vegan myself there's alot of misconceptions & bias when people hear that. This is not supposed to taste or mimic sushi. It's its own creation & is genius. Deserving of a Michelin star for sure. 10/10
Whether you're vegan or not I highly recommend trying their sushi! So delicious! They're fresh, extremely flavourful & creative. I recommend the omakase to have a bit of everything.
I ordered the hitori menu for delivery. Visually, the sushi are really appealing & well presented on the box. There was a 2 for 1 special so I had the chance to try out 6 different sushi flavours. The hitori menu came with edamame & option between miso or gyoza. I chose miso & ordered gyoza separately. Although the sushi looked beautiful, they were really dense, heavy & covered with sauce. Most of them had mushroom & sweet potato, & these two vegetables are really heavy. Sushi should never be heavy whether vegetarian or not. It is meant to be light. After eating only 6 pieces, my stomach is so full & bloated. I was hoping to add this resto to my list of favourites so that I could Uber Eats from there, but unfortunately, I'll have to pass on this. Nice try Sushi Momo but definitely not for me. Oh, the edamame sprinkled with a unique topping was the one item that tasted decent. Even the miso was so-so - rather salty just like the gyoza & the sushi.

As somebody who doesn't consume fish, I'd never thought I'd be able to experience the pleasures of a fine omakase, but Sushi Momo allowed me to do so, without falling short of expectations.
I had their set-menu, which included an oyster shooter, a mango-soba salad, chef's choice of sushi, & a brownie.
The shooter was made of savoury, stringy oyster mushrooms in a slightly tangy sauce with a crispy chip on top.
The mango-soba salad was great, I enjoyed how the fried onions provided a flavorful & textural contrast to the luscious noodles, same with the radish & greens. However, the mangos were underripe & overly tart.
Chef's choice of sushi rolls provided to me were the Delhi, Tropical, & Oyster Mushroom, Caviar, & Truffle.
Delhi was reminiscent of Japanese curry, with crispy fried kabocha & peppers on a roll with konjac shrimp & a light curry flavour behind it.
Tropical was a refreshing punch, of mango, coconut, freeze-dried strawberries, with a yuzu-mango sauce, & the same konjac shrimp. In both instances the konjac shrimp was chewy & flavourless, but it did not detract from the food.
Oyster Mushroom, Caviar, & Truffle was a mass of rich creamy mushrooms with a seaweed caviar on top of a thick piece of fried rice.
The dessert was also presented well, a fudgy brownie with strawberries, & a raspberry & mango emulsion, but I wasn't a big fan.
I have been coming to sushi momo for years & it is always a delight. For birthdays or when guests are visiting from out of town, this is always my restaurant of choice. Really the best vegan restaurant in Montreal. You can really taste the care put into each flavour. From the maki selection to the depth of flavour in the Miso soup. The
Omakase is a must choose, no question.
Amazing food, everything was a beautiful work of art & so delicious. Food was original, creative & mind-blowingly flavourful. Service was great, friendly & informative staff. The ambiance & decor was really nice as well.
Very good! & very filling!! We loved the flavours & the presentation. However, it might be good to try & make some of the rolls maybe a slight be less rice & a slight bit less filling to make them just a little bit smaller. The piece were beautifu

I went with 2 friends, non of us being vegan, & we all agree that our sushi craving was more than fulfilled at Sushi Momo! We got the 3 person tasting menu (which could have served 4 people). Each roll was so dynamic & flavourful. Great atmosphere. Pl
We had the dinner for two special. The miso soup was hot & flavourful. The Mango salad was bright & palate cleansing. The mixed 25 pieces of chef's fav sushi was as good as any other vegetarian sushi that I've had. Too much food, though. & a too exp
Amazing experience as usual! Excellent service, nice atmosphere, the food was incredible & full of flavour, & the price was great. Our favourite sushi restaurant continues to impress!
I have visited with family & recently brought a friend. She is not vegetarian or vegan. She kept saying that vegan cooking goes the extra mile in flavour a d presentation! She will return with family & friends. The only downside was decor & cocktail
Best sushi I've ever had. I can't believe that there was no actual fish in it. The atmosphere was light & lovely & the staff was observant, service oriented & very friendly. The flavours of the food were incredible. I am definitely goin
