Sushi Ste-Catherine offers a generous all you can eat sushi experience with a wide variety and strong value for lunch, drawing praise for fast service and many fresh flavors. Food is described as fresh and flavorful with highlights like salmon and a broad selection of rolls, tempura and other dishes, though a few visits note inconsistent preparation and some items arriving cold or in small portions. Service quality is mixed, ranging from friendly, quick, and accommodating staff to slower, busier times where attentiveness suffers or management comes off as brusque. The atmosphere is often lively and busy, sometimes crowded or cramped during peak hours, and a few reviews mention chilly or uncomfortable indoor conditions or noise levels. While gluten free options can be limited and ordering experiences vary, the restaurant remains a frequent Montreal all you can eat sushi choice for many who value variety and price, with several calling it among the better options in the city despite occasional service and consistency drawbacks.
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.
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!
Food very fresh. Good quality. Quick service. Love the sushi & General Tao chicken. All very reasonable priced for the quality. We took the lunch hour "All you can eat"

This place is definitely a bang for your buck, all you can eat fresh cooked food to order. They have very high volume of traffic so the food is always fresh. The service is not great as most of the staff don't speak french & some barely speak english but if you point at your empty glass they will bring a pitcher of water & get you that refill. Over all the menu has changed a bit since Covid & lost a couple of items but it's still a great value & a good spot to go eat as a group. We often go there with the staff from the office & it's great. Make sure that the person who orders keeps track of the cold vs hot items as the hot kitchen is usually longer so I suggest placing sushi orders first to get everyone a bit of food quickly then make sure not to order too much sushi or you will be over welmed when the hot food like the brochettes & cooked meats finally get to your table. You have to ask for the sauce & (fake) wassabi aka green horse raddish but when you ask they will bring it as well as other sauces such as spicy mayo.
