Review Summary

Sushi Nishinokaze is widely regarded as a premier destination for authentic edomae omakase in Montreal, offering an unparalleled culinary journey that rivals the finest establishments in Japan. Guests frequently praise the exceptional quality and freshness of the seasonal ingredients, the meticulous attention to detail in every dish, and the profound expertise of the staff regarding both food and sake pairings. The restaurant is celebrated for its intimate, tranquil atmosphere and the use of antique ceramic tableware, which adds a unique, artistic dimension to the overall experience. While most patrons describe the service as flawless and highly professional, the rare critique suggests that the experience may not suit every personal preference, particularly regarding the pricing of extras or the atmosphere of refined formality. Ultimately, it is considered a must visit establishment for sushi enthusiasts who appreciate craftsmanship, silent luxury, and a deep, meditative approach to fine dining.

Overall overpriced. $1000+ for 2. The nigiri weren't creative & the first white fish dish was super overcooked. They focus on traditional ingredients, but there's a fine line between'traditional' & simply not creative. 3 stars because it was fresh. Wish there was wagyu or something'new'.

Nous avons adoré notre expérience d'Omakaze. Quelle chance d'avoir cette cuisine de grande qualité dans notre ville & dans les deux langues! Le service était attentif & chaleureux, l'ambiance calme, épurée & presque contemplative, la nourriture excellente.

Superbe expérience tant sur le plan culinaire que sur le côté immersif. Nous avons été agréablement surpris. Le service était excellent. Le personnel est très courtois & sympathique! Le luxe sans pour autant être ostentatoire. Merci pour la magnifique soirée!

The best sushi I've had in my life compared to other Michelin starred sushi restaurants I have been. Everything is prepared with care, & with thought. Every course is perfectly timed. Every piece of sushi is of the perfect temperature, & is explained by the chef. I'm not a connaisseur of sake but the carafe recommended by our hôte was perfect. It was served in beautiful ceramic cups with a history behind them. If you are chasing after the best sushi in Montreal, this is it.

This would've been 5/5 across but except for service which was phenomenal: A little basket for my lady to put her purse in, plates were always cleaned, water always topped up, chair is pulled for you & napkin folded when you step away. With the exception for one blemish: we were offered the choice of flat or sparkling water but not once were we informed of the prices of it unless you asked (11$ per bottle in case you were curious). Midway through the service we were offered an optional service of lobster tail for 40$ which we took but was rather disappointed because it was a bite sized portion (despite that, it tasted delicious!). This is not necessarily about the money, & in the grand scheme of things is a small amount (which in reality is 5% of the entire bill) , but it definitely blindsided us from an otherwise perfect supper.

In the picture is the 40$ lobster tail (bottom middle) & 11$ water (top left)

Went a while ago so delayed review but chef was one of the friendliest chefs I had the pleasure of talking to even after the restaurant closed. We talked about sushi, the move to Montreal etc. A wonderful experience

La qualité & fraicheur des poissons est incroyable. Belle decoration . Chaise inconfortable. Endroit tres propre. Bon service. Grande politesse. Pourquoi je ne mets pas 5 étoiles: je pense que si les poissons aurais ete couper 1 ou 2 mm de plus on aurait pu vraiment plus savourer chaque type de poisson. Le menu omakase n'etais pas wow. Le menu etais trop du type nigiri. & je trouvais que plus ca avancais dans le menu plus c'etais long & il n'y avais pas de créativité à comparer a la plupart des omakase que j'ai ete a mtl & au japon. Concernant les verre antique dater de 500 ans pour le sake. Je trouve que c'est un peu exagérer de dire au client de faire attention a ne pas casser. On se sens comme de petit enfants qui devait faire attention. Tant qu'a dire au clients de faire attention , pourquoi pas juste mettre des verre normaux & le tout est regler. Si vous avez peur qu'on casse vos verre, alors pourquoi les utiliser pour les clients... bref je recommande d'y aller essayer pour comparer à vos experience passé. Est-ce que j'y retournerais personnelement ? La reponse est Non. Mais je recommande d'aller y essayer, juste pour l'experience & comparé.. vu que c'est 1 michelin.

Easily in the top echelon of restaurants in montreal. Perfect selection of ingredients with well explained history, origin, & characteristics. The service was perfect 10/10 no notes. It was an honour to be served by the chef & his team & we hope to return soon!
