Sushi Momo est un restaurant spécialisé en sushi végétalien et cuisine japonaise et a été fondé en décembre 2014 par chef de sushi extraordinaire Christian Manuel Ventura Alatorre. Avec plus que 10 ans d'expérience, les créations de Christian sont à la fois délicieuses et exceptionnellement innovatrices. Christian voulait offrir aux végétaliens le plus d'options de sushis végétaliens de toute la ville de Montréal.
Sushi Momo est un spot vegan à Montréal réputé pour ses sushis créatifs et savoureux, présentés avec soin et une ambiance chaleureuse. Le menu très varié offre des sashimis, makis, arancini et plats chauds entièrement végan, et l'on y découvre des textures et des saveurs qui surprennent même les novices. Le service est généralement attentif et professionnel, et l'ambiance intime et tamisée en fait une adresse idéale pour une soirée ou une occasion spéciale; la réservation est fortement recommandée, surtout les soirs de fin de semaine. Des retours évoquent parfois des plats un peu lourds ou des temps d'attente, mais l'ensemble est largement perçu comme exceptionnel et mémorable. Le rapport qualité-prix et l'engagement envers la cuisine végétale sont positifs, faisant de cette destination l'une des meilleures sushis véganes et recommandée aussi bien aux végans qu'aux curieux.
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.
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
Simply put, Momo Restaurant is exceptional. From the inviting ambiance to the attentive staff & devilishly divine food, every detail impressed. A special spotlight must go to our table host, Jasmin, whose knowledge of the menu was outstanding. Every recommendation he made was a hit-& we happily ordered them all.
I also have several food sensitivities, including garlic, nuts, seaweed, & carrots, which can make dining out challenging. Jasmin handled this with true white-glove service. Sauces were thoughtfully served on the side, & ingredients were carefully adjusted to accommodate my needs without compromising the experience.
This level of care turned a great meal into a truly cherished memory. I will be back again & again. Thank you, Momo Restaurant, & thank you, Jasmin. With sincere thanks, Juliana
I visited Momo a few years ago with my partner & had an amazing experience-the food, presentation, service, & atmosphere were all top-notch. So, when I had the chance to order from them again while caring for my brother post-surgery, I was excited. Unfortunately, the delivery experience didn't match up to my previous visit.
We ordered the combo, which included miso soup, edamame, & their popular rolls. The edamame was greasy, & the sushi flavors were overly strong & muddled. We both felt like it was'sushi for people who don't like sushi'. While I respect the creativity of the vegan menu, & can understand it will not taste like traditional sushi, the flavors were too heavy, & the sauce was very salty & overpowered the ingredients. Sushi should be simple, & let individual ingredients shine- but this missed the mark. Unfortunately we both felt a bit off the next day.
I still want to love this place & would consider visiting again in person if I'm in Montreal, & maybe trying some different & paired back menu items. But overall, tasting the food away from the dining ambience was a letdown.
Le Sushi Momo, ouvert en 2014, est un précurseur des restaurants végétaliens au Canada dont on ne semble point vouloir se lasser. Un samedi soir, surlendemain de tempête, nous nous y rendons. Les rues sont encombrées de neige & les places de stationnement, raréfiées, mais cela n'empêche pas un essaim de convives de prendre place dès l'ouverture à 16 heures.
Le menu, riche en propositions, pourrait sembler intimidant, mais notre serveur l'a habilement simplifié en nous orientant vers les choix emblématiques de l'adresse. Ses suggestions nous ont permis de composer un festin équilibré entre créations audacieuses & réinterprétations végétales des classiques japonais.
En entrée, nous mettons à l'épreuve les arancini japonais à la farce aux champignons (4 pour 16 $). Dangereusement bons. Dangereusement, parce que très brûlants, & j'avais eu la mauvaise idée d'en gober un tout rond. En restant trop longuement déchiré par le pressant dilemme de prendre une gorgée d'eau pour apaiser le feu au prix d'une dilution de saveur ou d'endurer le mal pour ne rien gâcher, j'ai fini par bien me cuire le palais & la langue. Ouille.
Heureusement, mes papilles rescapées ont pu pleinement apprécier la parade de savoir-faire du chef Christian Ventura qui a suivi :
Les futomaki « umami » (12 $ pour 5) mettent savamment en vedette les champignons shiitake, l'épinard, l'oignon vert & la coriandre pour de savoureuses bouchées où chaque ingrédient trouve sa place.
Les lambas « geisha » (15 $ pour 6) surprennent avec leur « saumon » & « crevette » végétaux, sublimés par une sauce yuzu ponzu & une émulsion de basilic qui apporte une touche méditerranéenne bienvenue.
Les riz croquants « pleurote, caviar & truffe » (11 $ pour 2) se présentent comme d'élégants canapés. Ils se séparent aisément au couteau, parfaits pour le partage.
Les maki tempura « gyu » (14 $ pour 5) & « avocat frit » (10 $ pour 4, avec un généreux extra offert !) sont apprêtés avec soin. Leur sauce respective complète parfaitement la texture croustillante de la tempura.
Les sanri « siam » (14 $ pour 5) explorent brillamment le rouleau de printemps. Le jeu des textures entre le rouleau de riz & les nouilles, combiné aux saveurs fraîches (concombre, coriandre) repose sur un lit généreux de sauce à l'arachide & au kimchi - sauce si délicieuse que nous l'avons finie à la cuillère !
En outre, la bière « Momo » & le coquetel « douceur fleurie » accompagnent joyeusement le repas avec leurs notes fruitées.
Pour clore ce festin, la tartelette au chocolat noir & miso (9 $) s'est révélée être le choix parfait : riche sans être écoeurante, elle marie subtilement l'amer à l'umami.
Au-delà des plats, l'expérience est alimentée par un service hors pair. Notre serveur, avenant & attentif, a su anticiper nos besoins & nous guider à travers le menu avec expertise.
L'ambiance chaleureuse de la salle à manger, baignée d'une lumière tamisée & d'un doux fond sonore, invite à la conversation & à la détente. Ce n'est pas surprenant d'y voir de nombreux couples en tête-à-tête romantique.
De l'avis unanime de notre table, où les rires fusaient & les papilles batifolaient, le Sushi Momo réussit à revisiter les spécialités japonaises avec éclat. Cette adresse pionnière de Montréal mérite amplement son succès, offrant une expérience gastronomique créative dans un cadre des plus agréables. Si vous n'y êtes pas encore allés, n'hésitez plus.
Note pratique : Réservation fortement conseillée, particulièrement les soirs de fin de semaine. Comptez environ 50-60 $ par personne pour un repas complet.

Went here with four people & had the omikase. Flavours were great, I love mushrooms & that came through really well. Atmosphere is nice & cosy & provided a great environment to catch up.
Appetizers were great, soup was great, dessert was fine, & the sushi was good. But as a non-vegetarian it does not serve as a replacement for sushi. The flavours are great & they have some really interesting fusions, but most of the rolls rely on sauces to get their flavour. That's ok, & they taste good, but they are heavier & not equivalent for standard sushi.
This is solid vegan food in a nice setting, but it is not a sushi replacement.
Beautiful experience! Everything we were brought was delicious & the incredible variation of flavours & textures in each piece was a testament to the chefs abilities! I'm going to be thinking of the miso soup broth for a long time... Also worth noting that each roll is so packed with flavour that I never considered adding soy sauce, which I've never experienced before now. Every member of the wait staff we interacted with was great & we could tell that folks around us were enjoying their evening as much as we were. The layout made us feel pretty secluded despite being next to three other tables, & we couldn't hear others' conversations which I appreciated. The music at one point got a bit bumping but it mellowed down after not too long. Dim lighting & candles contribute to the cozy atmosphere. We spent a decent sum here (incl drinks) but it was expected & we both felt like we got what we paid for. Will be returning to try more in the near future!
This was truly delicious! All the sushis are incredible. Favorites were the fried avocado ones, the "salmon" ones & the "Siam" spring rolls in Mango/Peanut sauce. Their cocktails were also very cool & worth the price.
Life changing sushi -- there is no other way to describe it. I've had several vegan sushi places that were fantastic but none were as inventive, as delicious, & as well put together as this. Especially the Sakura, the broccoli just ties everything's together with the build & sauce. Beyond this, the staff was insanely professional & helpful describing each sushi to detail. My friend dropped a chopstick & a nearby server replaced it in less than 10 seconds. Even if you eat meat, I think you'll have an unreal experience at this place. Highly highly, recommend!

Il est possible de faire d'excellent sushi vegan tout en gardant la nature du sushi. Ce que le chef propose est bien loin des sushi. Patate douce, pesto & tomate seché? Tofu & sauce au cumin ? J'ai fini par tout jeter aux poubelles. Rien n'allait ensemble. & il faut arrêter de mettre de l'huile de truffe dans tout. C'était inmangeable.
An outstanding experience, Momo defies expectations. The flavours & textures here are fantastic, authentic, & thoughtful. We had Krispi Sushi (avocado black garlic) which had divine mouth feel & subtle, delicious flavour. Also had the Delhi futomaki, which was a lovely hit of sweet & delicious Japanese curry flavour wrapped around several tasty sushi fillings & rice. Not a huge punch of sauce, rather a perfect balance of flavours. The waitresses were thoughtful, attentive, funny & relaxed, & knew their food! Presentation was great, & the ambience was intimate, comfortable & cozy. This place for this win, great work Momo!!
A true gastronomic pleasure for this 50 year vegetarian. The agedashi tofu with fried kombu & plum sauce is a divine invention. Thank you for making such delicious food.
The food was ok, not that good enough but average. There is a plate with salamon slices, it was 40 grams plus some vegetables & sauce for 15$. The sushi was good, & the staff were nice. Non alcoholic Beverages are so terrible, just kind of arom added to iced water. My main complaint is about those chairs in the bar, for god's sake, who is the architect who decided to put kids garden chairs into a bar. Im 174 cm tall. i found it really annoying to sit. I was really pressed & blocked between the table & those fixed chairs! When asked the server if there was any place to sit, she told us there were no tables. In the end, when we finished our meal, she told her there was an available.

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.
Magnifique restaurant, petit & chaleureux qui revisite la cuisine japonaise à la sauce vegan. & pas besoin d'être vegan pour trouver ça juste excellent, fin & réconfortant. On était 5 personnes alors on a partagé plusieurs menus dégustation pour tester le plus de plats entre nous. Coup de coeur pour les délicieux sushis, le shooter de champignons & la tarte choco, miso, fraises & matcha 😍 J'ai aussi pris un cocktail sans alcool aux saveurs provençales qui était très bon. La décoration est soignée & moderne & le serveur était très gentil. Il a fait très attention à mon amie allergique au gluten, c'était très apprécié. Ils nous ont même offerts des edamames en fin de soirée pour ne pas les gaspiller. J'ajoute ce beau restaurant à mes préférés pour les occasions spéciales en amoureux ou entre amis.
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.
