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.
Un très bon restaurant où la nourriture est excellente , que se soit niveau des viandes des sushis ou encore des plats préparés
Il y a du choix pour tout le monde.
Que se soit entre amis en famille ou même pour le travail c'est un lieu à connaître.
Le personnel est très accueillants à l'écoute & très professionnel.
This review is for takeaway. We have ordered twice at Sushi Ste-Catherine. Overall, the quality of the sushis is decent. We ordered here due to the competitive price-point, but you really do get what you pay for. The rolls were pretty sloppily-made on both occasions. The salmon quality is just ok, not as fresh as it can be in the taste, quality & appearance. We likely will not return even for the competitive price-point.

Nous étions des habitués, mais notre dernière visite a été une déception totale. Le restaurant était si froid qu'on a dû couvrir notre fille de 7ans avec deux manteaux TTE LA SOIRÉE. Ils se sont trompés dans la commande, fait quelle na rien manger après une longue attente elle recois enfin ces 6 sushis, je demande a les prendre a emporter pour donner
la chance a ma fille de mager au chaud ds la voiture, la serveuse puis la manager me disent NON! aucun geste aucune empathie, cest affreux je regrette d'avoir payé avant de recevoir la commande !
BONUS, personne ne parlait français!!!
It seems they intentionally take the time & bring chip stuff first one by one & make you waiting for sushi & rolls. Very slow. The quality is below any expectations. Look at the photo - this is how much salmon you get. Also, the host is unfriendly even a bit rude despite of the smile. We left. The most disappointing sushi experience in Montreal.
We waited 25-30 minutes for each dish, while guests who arrived later & ordered more were served faster. We asked for wasabi & ginger- the waitress promised to bring them, but never did. There were two of us, & each of us ordered from our phones, but then the manager Koden told me in a harsh tone that we'should have ordered from one phone, not several,' because'it makes their job harder,' even though this wasn't stated anywhere, & he treated me with condescension. The sushi itself was sloppy, with very little fish. When we asked why it didn't look like the picture, the waiter simply said,'The ingredients are the same, just different rolls.' One of our glasses arrived extremely sticky. No one warned us that payment was by credit card only, & they only told us this after we tried to pay, not even right before. At the end, when we were paying, we asked for the manager's name, & the waitress asked us to voice our complaints to her. When we refused, she began insisting & literally coaxing us to tell her, which made us feel very uncomfortable. After paying, the waitress also told me I forgot to leave a tip, which I find very inappropriate, especially after such service. However, I would like to say that they have delicious ice cream & unlimited drinks.
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.
We were disappointed with this all you can eat sushi place. To start, this place is good if you only like salmon or imitation crab in your sushi, & not very much of it, as the rolls were mainly rice & veggies, & they did not offer tuna or other types of fish in the rolls. In addition, they have very few options without gluten, so my wife & kids were very limited. The waitress was nice & tried to be accommodating, but unfortunately some of the options she suggested as gluten free did have bread crumbs sauces with gluten. Well, it is unfortunate but we did not enjoy it.

the best sushi in montreal! It's so affordable & everything is delicious. there are so many options on the menu & everything is always a hit. this place is a must!
Please go somewhere else for sushi. They roll way too much rice into the maki roles, the fish itself is not good quality, & overall not worth $50 per person. Service was even worse. At the end of the meal, I didn't feel the quality or service was deserving of a tip after several mix ups & mid food. But after I paid, the waitress with glasses called me out in front of the whole table'reminding' me tip wasn't included in the total & basically forced me to tip. Worse Montreal dining experience by far. Wish we'd walked out as soon as we sat down.
It was nice, good sushi, the fish was very fresh & the dish didn't take long to prepare. The waitress was kind enough to place the heater near my group because we were all quite cold.
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
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.
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 🤷?♀?
