Sushi Momo

Momo par Christian Ventura is the kind of restaurant that makes you question everything you thought you knew about sushi.

I went in expecting a good vegan meal & left thinking, how is this actually plant-based? The creativity behind the dishes is incredible. Japanese sushi is clearly the inspiration, but Momo takes that foundation somewhere completely different-using vegetables, mushrooms, sauces, textures & unexpected combinations to create something that feels like its own cuisine 🇯🇵

Every plate feels carefully designed rather than simply substituted. The flavours are layered, the presentation is beautiful, & there's a real sense of playfulness in the menu. Even if you normally eat fish & aren't vegan, this is absolutely worth experiencing.

The atmosphere also deserves a mention: stylish, intimate & warm without feeling pretentious. The staff were welcoming & genuinely knowledgeable, & having the dishes explained made the experience even more enjoyable.

What impressed me most is that Momo doesn't try to convince you that vegan sushi is almost the same as traditional sushi. It doesn't need to. It creates its own identity.

Montreal has no shortage of restaurants, but very few places make you feel like you've discovered something genuinely new.

Quite shocked that some of the food I had was vegan (kept forgetting to be honest). The only'con' is the amount of sauce they put on some of the sushi pieces. Found it sometimes excessive & I am a sauce gal

J'ai commandé pour emporter, donc je ne peux évaluer que la cuisine.

Malheureusement, je n'ai pas apprécié ce que j'ai commandé. L'onigiri chaud goûtait beaucoup trop l'oignon & ne faisait pas très traditionnel. Le saumon était gris & manquait de saveur. La soupe miso avait un goût très industriel. Les gyozas étaient également assez fades, même si la sauce était bonne.

Les prix sont compétitifs, mais j'aurais volontiers payé un peu plus pour une meilleure qualité.

Disappointing experience. I developed a terrible stomachache after eating here. The sushi relies heavily on an overwhelming amount of sauce to make up for a lack of actual flavor, & the menu features ridiculous, overly fried, gimmicky pieces. I truly do not understand how this place has such high ratings. I can only assume the positive reviews are solely because the restaurant is vegan, because otherwise, this was the worst sushi I have ever had.

Used to be much more flavorful & generous with their'condiments'. $100 order & got 2 little soy sauces & a drop of wasabi that was smeared on plastic. Not acceptable!

Amazing! The variety of flavors throughout the menu is incredible. Creating vegan sushis made the chef develop an impressive imagination, using a wide range of sauces & unusual ingredients. These sushis are a lot tastier than fish could ever be. Highly recommended! Make sure to book in advance!

Beaucoup trop de sauce sur les
sushis, ça finit par être extrêmement gras & j'ai eu beaucoup de difficulté à digérer toute la nuit. On a adoré les entrées par contre mais franchement on ne reviendra pas. Très bon service par le dynamique & super sympathique Lou. Un resto avec une belle ambiance calme & un décor magnifique. Pour le reste on préfère les sushis de poisson & fruits de mer 🍣 alors on ira dans un sushis bar.

Not authentic sushi. Sauce overpowers everything. It's not bad it's more like an attempt at fusion.

Food is very good. Most people would have difficulty noticing the salmon isn't real fish if they weren't told. Prices are reasonable. Sauces are all very good (a bit on the sweeter side). Server was attentive & explained the dishes very well. Only downside is some dishes took a while to come out. Would definitely come back.

I used to love this place.
We took omakase dinner specials, it was pretty disappointing.

First, there were too many recurrence of the same yuzus sour sweet soy sauce.
I know this sauce is signature of sushi momo. But literally every menu has that sauce so it makes all dishes are kinda boring & taste the same.

I think it's time to invent new different sauce that can give different harmony with the signature sauce.

Vegan sushi was great as usual but fried one was has too many rice & soggy, not crispy.

Since I loved this place, hope this restaurant keeps improving & be loved by people for long time
