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.
The service is good but the food is horrible beside some dishes, the rice is dry, the food cold & all the sushi are basically the sames, I recommande going to takumi sushi for the same price
We went there because I found this restaurant on the top 10 all you can eat sushi in Montreal & seriously I was very disappointed. The presentation of the food is pityful, nothing to do with the picture you see on the ordering app, its not bad but its not really good either, for the price you pay as an all you can eat, you are supposed to want to order more & more, but the dishes kept on being more & more disappointing & we just decided it was not worth keep on ordering just to get the value of what we paid. One of the server was completely absent .just dropped the dishes without even looking at us. Overall very disappointing, I do not recommend to go there for lunch, it might be better for dinner 🤷?♀?
I've never been anywhere where the owner treats the staff so well. Five minutes before closing, a man came in saying there was a large group who planned to spend a lot of money. Instead of chasing the extra cash, the owner simply said,'My staff are exhausted, & we close in five minutes - I don't want to overexert them.' That level of respect for employees is rare & so admirable.
The owner was also incredibly kind & understanding, even holding my table while I stepped out briefly. The food was delicious & came out right away. The doughnuts were absolutely to die for. Overall, a very fun & memorable experience. Highly recommend
The food was good we were walking by & decided to stop by. The service was a tad long. At the close of the closing they bumped the AC which I didn't enjoy but a good place overall will recommend & go back.
I really loved how easy reservations were to make on google, went in earlier & the lady said it was fine. We got to our places & ordered from the qr code provided on the table. So make sure your phone is charged!
Food was great, loved how tasty everything was. Sushi tasted great, was warm, fish was great.
Quite loud & not really intimate, wouldn't recommend for dates when seated in the middle.
One of the best sushi restaurants in the area... very fast service for buffet style meaning all you can eat.. very fresh fish.. great selection to choose from. I recommend you start out small ordering & if want more get more.. do not want to waste plus you will get charged for wasted food.. ice cream was very tasty... best part was outside on this night 8-10-14 saw the most vibrant rainbow in the sky which turned into a double rainbow... it was so bright it stopped people in it tracks inside & out to take photos of it... best experience ever & with my favorite food too win win... so if you want a great sushi restaurant this is a must to check out..
I really liked, the buffet service has a good price, very fair, at least for me that I ate 3 services. I never missed water in my glass, the servers are fast to refill, I appreciate that. What I didn't liked it's the tiny sticks I had to eat, they are square on the top & smaller than my hand, I got some adaptation before to start eating. The food is good however I would like to have more flavors & more salt. I would like to come back here & I recommend to go, if you are patient & eat slowly, this is your place. Thanks.
The food was ok, less good than other sushi places in my opinion but it wasn't bad. As for the price, it was slightly expensive. I wouldn't necessarily recommend this place.
