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 describe Sushi Momo as a standout vegan sushi destination in Montreal, offering creative, flavorful, and beautifully presented dishes with a broad vegan menu including gluten free options; the ambiance is cozy and intimate, with dim lighting, soft music, and attentive staff who explain the menu and accommodate dietary needs; reservations are highly recommended due to high demand, with many diners returning for repeated visits; the menu features ambitious omakase and tasting options along with a wide variety of maki, sashimi like faux salmon, and inventive creations that impress both vegans and non vegans, though a few experiences note variability with some dishes being heavy on fried elements or sauces and a couple of visits experiencing slower service or delivery issues; overall it is repeatedly praised as one of the best vegan sushi experiences, known for freshness, texture, flavor, and thoughtful presentation, with cocktails and a warm inviting atmosphere adding to the appeal.
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.
Nous avons commandé 2 repas sushi via Uber Eat (promotion 2 pour 1). Nous avons reçu 2 repas de sushis différents, nous avons donc pu partager 6 sortes de sushis! La nourriture était EXCELLENTE, tout était délicieux! Je recommande sans hésitation!
Food was very good. you'll know that it's not meat, but the taste & quality is top notch. My only complaint is the wait time before getting our food, but it's understandable as they are incredibly busy.

Sushi Momo is one of my all-time favorite restaurants. My taste buds literally can not get over how yummy all the sushis & dishes are. Always a great experience.
Je ne compte plus le nombre de fois où nous avons mangé des Sushis Momo (2 fois au restaurant & plusieurs fois en livraison) & c'est toujours une superbe expérience gustative! Les saveurs sont originales, très recherchées & les associations sont juste parfaites. Bref c'est toujours un plaisir de déguster ces sushis vegan! Nous re commanderons encore & encore!
The vegan sushi was good but we were not blown away by it. The gyoza were good, the edamame had some odd spices on it. The rolls all kind of tasted the same except for the Delhi (we had the delhi, momo, sirean & rose). They were good but the delhi had something fried on top that should have been crispy but it was limp & soggy. Why the soy paper instead of seaweed? It stuck to the board & wasn't flavorful. Service when we came in took a few minutes for anyone to acknowledge us at all (I thought maybe we were in the wrong restaurant). Otherwise friendly & helpful. Drinks were good. It's not cheap. Would not go back.

Got the four course tasting menu.
*oyster shooter - great
*Miso soup - great
*pork & cabbage gyoza - great but tiny portion
*Mushroom tartare - excellent
*soba mango salad - great (great portion)
*all the sushis - great, fav was the crispy shrimp & the one with fried spinach on top, & the strawberry
*chocolate brownie - excellent
Went for the tasting menu. Lovely experience. Great food & friendly service with gorgeous ambience. The sushi with the pesto & topped with spinach are by far the best sushi I've ever tasted in my life. I've never had sushi crunch before, & that was very unique.
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.

Excellent service, magnifique ambiance. Oups! C’est pas évident de réaliser que c’est végane lorsqu’il est écrit « saumon » ou « crevettes » sur le menu! Changez votre terminologie ou que les serveurs annoncent aux clients dès qu’ils apportent le menu que c’est veganeeee & qu’il n’y a aucun saumon même si c’est écrit saumon.
I was so excited to try out this vegan sushi restaurant & it did not disappoint. We went with the Omakase menu to be able to try a bit of everything. The menu was quite extensive with lots of variety. The salad was flavorful & fresh & the rolls were as beautiful as they were delicious to eat. So much play on textures & flavors. Using konjac to make it look like a salmon sashimi is brilliant. Will most definitely go back!
