Overall, reviews describe Sushi Waen as a cozy, welcoming spot with ultra-fresh sushi, generous portions, and good value. Diners highlight the freshness of the fish, thoughtful presentation, and a mix of Japanese and Sichuan dishes that pair well in a casual, comfortable setting. Attentive and friendly service, warm tea, and pleasing decor contribute to the positive atmosphere, with many noting they plan to return or make it a regular go-to. A few criticisms appear, including an instance of dry General Tao, some batches of tempura that tasted stale, and occasional inconsistency with hot dishes, but these are outweighed by strong praise for the sushi and overall flavor. Several reviews mention BYOB plans and hope for alcohol licensing, while others remark on the reasonable prices and the spot’s suitability for gatherings or family visits. Overall, Sushi Waen emerges as a reliable, fresh-focused choice with broad appeal and a welcoming vibe, though occasional menu items may vary in execution.
L'endroit à une très belle ambiance avec les dessins & les affiches sur les murs. Nos sushis étaient délicieux & ils n'étaient pas vraiment chers. La nourriture avait une très belle présentation & on a eu droit à plusieurs gourmandises savoureuses supplémentaires en raison de l'anniversaire de mon frère.
everything tasted fresh except the crispy tempura pieces inside, they tasted stale & old, so I think that batch had gone bad because I've ordered many times & they tasted fine.

Such cozy cute spot in my neighborhood. As soon as you walk in it's soo cool. Love the art on the wall & the Japanese style decor. They served us warm green tea (so amazing) especially as it is snowing outside. We ordered some sushi (dynamite rolls) & stir fry udon noodles & also shrimp tempura.
All of the food was so fresh, & the portion sizes were good! The udon noodles are good for two people ❤?
They also have parking so that's definitely a plus point.
On the 23rd they simply decided to put all Uber Eats on hold while prioritizing direct orders without updating estimate times in the app. I got there at the time I was supposed to & the owner we told me I would have to wait half an hour longer.
I asked for him to cancel it on their side, since I couldn't do it on mine without paying a huge fee & he refused. I had to sit in the restaurant & go through the whole cancelling process with the app's customer service. While I was there, I saw him turning away Uber Eats drivers without even trying to apologize. I understand holidays are busy, but people's time is worth something too, it costs them nothing to be more respectful to both customers & drivers.

Thanks for the response. I understand holidays are busy & that staff are under pressure. However, front-of-house staff should have enough autonomy or support to handle situations like this without placing the burden on the customer.
I followed the timing & information provided in the app, & being told to sit around for an extra half hour with no compromise or solution offered felt disrespectful. That's really not a great way to treat a client.
The reply to my review fails to address the actual issue, which is the fact that inaccurate timing & lack of communication on the restaurant's side caused the delay, & lack of initiative & preparation led to me having to solve a problem I didn't cause.
Les sushis sont bons, surtout le kamikaze & le rainbow (qui ne ressemble en rien à la photo), mais le Tiger, bien qu'intéressant avec ses sauces, contient du saumon cuit avec la peau. Général Tao: sauce correcte, mais viande trop cuite. Soupe wonton: bouillon sans sel au goût très douteux, mais les won tons sont bons (genre pâtes fines & farce aux crevettes du commerce). Il faut s'en tenir aux sushis & ne pas avoir d'attentes hyper élevées. Toilettes: le couvercle avait besoin d'être nettoyé, ouf.

Literally my favourite sushi place ever, I live right down the street from it & it's great for grabbing a quick bite before walking home from ghe bus stop
Very nice restaurant, general tao was really good! The rice was shaped like a cat, which was super cute! 😺
Price are very reasonable, I recommend trying it out! 💕
Un excellent restaurant, un vrai joyau caché à Lachine.
Les plats sont savoureux, bien présentés, & les sushis sont d'une fraîcheur remarquable.
On sent la qualité des ingrédients & le souci du détail.
J'y retournerai sans hésiter.
I am very happy to see Lachine has a nice sushi restaurant. I will keep ordering & hope that the quality is consistent. I usually order salmon nigiri & when restaurants cut the salmon suuuuper thin it's sea-through I stop ordering because I don't want to pay only for rice. Hoping for the best here. So far so good.
