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.
Délicieux & abordable. De vrais sushis & une authentique cuisine du Sichuan. Le patron est chaleureux & attentionné. En discutant, j'ai appris que les fresques murales ont été entièrement conçues & peintes par lui-même. On sent qu'il a du goût, du coeur & des exigences élevées - & cela se reflète dans la qualité de ses plats. Je reviendrai sans hésiter !
🍣 Great New Sushi Place!
I absolutely loved the sushi here! The food was delicious & incredibly fresh. The service was also good, & the prices are very reasonable, offering great value. They mentioned they are working on getting their alcohol permit soon, & plan to allow BYOB (Bring Your Own Bottle) wine once it's approved. Highly recommend this spot!

I was craving fresh tasty sushi & their spicy combo 18 pieces hit the spot! Everything tasted & felt so fresh compared to other places I've been too!

5 stars doesn't do this restaurant justice! I'd easily give more❤? the service is amazing & the staff is just so polite & cheerful! The food is FIRE , I devoured everything in a matter of minuts! So happy its only 7min from where I live.
I've ordered Sushi Waen three times now & the quality has been Phenomenal. Fresh fish & soo much variety. I recently moved to Lachine from dt & was disappointed with the limited options of sushi here. Sushi waen solved this issue. Looking forward to dining in soon! 🍣🍣
Une super belle découverte à Lachine ! 🍣
Sushi Waen, c'est un p'tit resto super sympathique qui mélange vraiment bien la finesse japonaise avec les vraies saveurs du Sichuan.
Les sushis sont hyper frais, bien faits, on voit que c'est préparé avec amour.
Mais honnêtement, les plats chauds m'ont bluffé : le poulet croustillant est juste parfait - doré, tendre, pas gras du tout - & les nouilles à la viande épicée sont tellement savoureuses, bien relevées sans tomber dans l'excès.
L'ambiance est relax, les dessins sur les murs sont super beaux, pis le service est tellement gentil & attentionné.
On se sent tout de suite à l'aise, comme chez soi.
Franchement, c'est rare de trouver à Montréal un endroit où tu peux manger à la fois des bons sushis & des vrais plats chinois faits maison.
Un vrai coup de coeur ❤? - j'vais clairement y retourner !
I wanted to try this newly opened sushi/Asian fusion place, & our gang of 5 had a great time!! The sichuanese food is authentic & delicious, & you can adjust the spice level (some of us eat very spicy & some not at all lol). The owner is super friendly as well. We'll definitely revisit this place!!
