Sushi Ste-Catherine offers an extensive all-you-can-eat menu that many patrons find to be of excellent quality and value, frequently highlighting the speed of service and the variety of fresh dishes available. While some guests praise the convenient digital ordering system and the friendly, professional nature of the staff, others report inconsistent experiences, citing issues with service politeness, occasional lapses in food quality, and a lack of clear communication regarding restaurant policies. The atmosphere is generally described as popular and lively, though it can feel crowded during peak hours, and while many visitors consider it a go-to destination in Montreal, opinions remain divided based on individual encounters with staff and overall dining expectations.
Unfortunately, despite the very good changes they made to their appearance, the quality of their sushi was very poor. All their sushi was topped with breadcrumbs along with the rice, which makes the sushi bigger & makes you feel full quickly, thus completely ruining the taste of the sushi. It was my worst sushi experience.
A wonderful'all-you-can-eat' sushi restaurant, & somewhere I always make a point of visiting whenever I visit Montréal. Centrally located; tables are bookable online (very wise on a Saturday lunch as it's very popular!).
Bilingual & very friendly staff, always easy to call to the table for questions, discuss allergies, etc. Discount for seniors. Fixed price all-you-can-eat in 2 hours. The menu is extensive, embracing sushi, teriyaki, Udon, Chinese; & soft drinks are included! The quality is absolutely excellent & served very quickly.

This has been our go to spot if my family wants an AYCE lunch.
*Pax: 3
*Price: for 3 pax I usually pay around $105 including taxes & tips for lunch AYCE.
*Reservation: none - we never needed to make reservations for all of our lunch visits here.
*Date: We often go here, but the latest was January 11, 2026
*Service: lunch time
There is a wide variety of choices for lunch even though it is priced at around $26 including ice cream & drinks. You really get the most for your money.
Food: we love the sushies. There is a good proportion between the fillings & rice. Disclaimer though that we only eat cooked sushi because I have a very sensitive stomach. We also love tempuras, beef teriyaki, ramens etc. There's just too many options. The salmon teriyaki was really good too! We never had a bad experience with the food so it is definitely 5 stars.
Service: Staff were nice, quick & professional. Very few of them may not smile at all but I don't expect them too since they, like us gets tired so I am okay with it. Sometimes the service is not quick if there are a lot of customers which of course is understandable. 5 stars for the service.
Price: We always get our money's worth whenever we dine here especially for the lunch AYCE. There is just a lot of choices for everyone.
Atmosphere: It can get too crowded or feel like the space is cramped during lunch rush hence the 4 stars but still worth the price for us.
Female washroom: Clean! I always include this in my reviews because I think it is necessary. Their washroom is clean & without foul smell. I don't know about the men's washroom truly but my husband said it is'okay'.
Overall, I stand by 5 star across 2 aspects & 4 stars for atmosphere since it is what my family & I experienced for the last 3 recent visits (Dec 2025 & Jan 2026) we made to the restaurant. I highly recommend it to anyone who wants an AYCE sushi + asian food. Mind you that this is a less than $30 AYCE (lunch) so manage your expectations well. Also, in our group we always come in with all of us dining AYCE as it less complicates things.
Again this rating is based on 3 pax only. From what I understand, you can only use one phone - maybe 2 max when placing an order via your phone thru a qr code. So that maybe for a large group.
Highly recommended!

Went for AYCE with a friend. It was a Saturday evening & thankfully we got a table without reservation. But the place filled up quickly after.
We tried a lot of different sushi & meats & everything was really good. The only sushi we didn't like was the torched salmon but that's it. The chicken popcorn, chicken teriyaki, & beef sesame were great. This is also the only sushi place I have gone too which offers some free beverages which was just amazing.
The staff was really nice & professional, service was super fast.
The staff there were amazing. When we decided to take sushi to go instead they were so accommodating. The order was prepared quickly & the sushi was tasty & excellent quality.
This is one of those places where you go to eat sushi & drink diet Cokes until the mercury & aspartame melt your mind & you go a little crazy. It's not the best quality, or consistent, but the staff are quick & reasonable & the food is plentiful.
This is the best of the scuffed sushi places. Smoke a bunch & don't take it too seriously.
We had to wait for about 45 minutes before we were seated, but that was understandable, we went there at 6 pm on a friday
Service was quick & excellent.
The food was good, the torched sushis were the best. It was my first time eating huge mussels, the wasabi one was the best.
Awesome all-you-can-eat buffet. The quality of the food is great & the staff is nice. I barely had to wait for my food to get ready each time I ordered, they are really quick! The only downside is the price, which is pretty high for a buffet, but it is absolutely worth it!
