Sushi Yasu focuses on a traditional approach to Japanese cuisine through a diverse selection of handcrafted sushi, nigiri, and sashimi preparations. Patrons find an extensive array of maki rolls ranging from classic tuna and salmon variants to modern fusion creations tailored for specific ingredient pairings. The menu emphasizes the freshness of marine ingredients and the precise preparation of seasoned vinegared rice that defines authentic sushi artistry. Skilled culinary techniques ensure that each plate maintains consistent quality and texture across all offerings. Beyond raw fish selections, the kitchen provides cooked Japanese staples, including tempura and savory appetizers designed to complement the primary sushi courses. This establishment maintains a focused environment dedicated to the deliberate craft of Japanese culinary traditions, prioritizing technical execution and ingredient integrity in every serve.
Sushi Yasu is widely recognized as a top-tier destination for authentic Japanese cuisine in the Montreal area, frequently praised for its fresh ingredients, skillful preparation, and diverse menu that extends beyond standard sushi to include items like katsu curry, wagyu, and grilled eel. While many patrons celebrate the high quality, reasonable pricing, and welcoming, family-oriented atmosphere, some reviews note that the restaurant can become quite crowded, sometimes leading to long wait times or rushed service. Opinions regarding the consistency of the sushi rice seasoning and the overall attentiveness of the staff remain mixed, yet the majority of diners consider it an essential spot for traditional, high-quality Japanese dining that remains remarkably close to the experience of visiting Japan itself.
Decent sushi spot with good quality, but quite expensive for what you get. For one combo, a few sashimi, & two beers, the bill came to around $140, which feels high considering the small portion sizes & roll thickness. Service was polite, but the wait time was long (around 30 minutes), likely due to limited staff. Overall okay, but could offer better value & faster service.
Un incontournable pour des sushis de qualité. Un menu varié pour tous les goûts ou les Sushi sont à l'honneur bien sûr, mais d'autre plats sont disponibles & délicieux. Je vous recommande fortement cet établissement.
*mon sashimi préféré est le ventre de thon jaune torché (menu à la carte colone de gauche en bas) ça fond dans la bouche. Kampai

Tout est bon. Tout fondait dans ma bouche. Le proprio est proche de la salle à manger & s'occupe du bar à sushis, tout en gardant un oeil sur ses clients bien assis. C'est un tout petit restaurant japonais sans prétention.
Le service était attentionné & courtois.
Visite #1:
Les sushis étaient parfaits.
Poulets karaage légèrement croustillant à l'extérieur, & juteux & fondant à l'intérieur.
L'anguille était bien grillée, grasse, & fondante.
Nous avons essayé le'Uni' en sashimi (oursin de mer), & wow belle découverte.
Le format style boîte Bento permet d'essayer un peu de tout.
Visite #2:
Les sushis étaient parfaits. Plus authentiques que ce que vous avez l'habitude de manger ailleurs.
La salade Sunomono est aussi délicieuse. Vraiment à essayer.
Tempura délicieux.
Agedashi Dofu (tofu mou frit); très gouteux, cremeux, umami.
J'ai tenté la morue noire au miso. OMG! Fondant, délicat, gouteux.
Ne vous laisser pas déranger par tous les gens qui viennent chercher leurs sushis en take-out & qui jasent avec le chef (ça fait parti de l'expérience).
Really really good! Great ambiance & great service. I would return anytime.
Make sure you make a reservation before going!!!
Edit : still a superb restaurant.
Edit 2025: I love this restaurant! The sashimi are delicious!
Excellent quality & service! This is my first choice for sushi & sashimi on the South Shore! Be sure to reserve in advance if you go on weekends, because it's almost always packed.
Une belle découverte cet restaurant typiquement Japonais. Les sashimis sont frais & délicieux. Le Tonkatsu est croustillant & plein de saveurs. Le prix est raisonnable, mais le service est un peu lent. On dirait que les commandes pour apportez sont toujours prioritaires sur celles de la salle à manger, on a dû patienter de longues minutes.
One of the most authentic Japanese restaurants in the Montreal area. It takes some curiosity & a good deal of temerity to discover this gem of a sushi restaurant, buried in an anonymous parking lot of the Boulevard Rome. But the trip is highly rewarding! You find yourself in a true Japanese enclave in the South Bank. No wonder if, for prominent Japanese visitors, Montreal has two genuine sushi addresses, the outstanding but expensive Jun-I, & here. It is also my opinion. The all-Japanese ownership & cooks make sure that you will be served the freshest fish sashimi, & sushi offer the uncompromising Japanese taste & quality, that no other sushi bar in Montreal, else than Jun-I can match. Other Japanese dishes are of the same level.
Prices are reasonable, providing for a nonpareil value for money. Although simple, the decor & atmosphere are friendly & comfortable.
Highly recommended
