Taken together, reviews describe Sushi Yasu as a small, cozy, family run spot delivering fresh, authentic Japanese fare and a wide range of options from nigiri and sashimi to bento boxes, with many praising the high quality of fish, perfectly seasoned rice, and thoughtful preparation; the atmosphere is consistently described as welcoming and warm, with friendly service, though a few notes mention moments of rushed or less attentive hospitality and occasional inconsistencies during busy periods; reservations are advised on weekends due to crowds, and the food is often cited as the main draw with standout items like toro, wagyu, uni, and eel, while some dishes such as certain curries or katsu experiences may not meet every expectation; overall the consensus is that Sushi Yasu offers an excellent and flavorful Japanese dining experience at a reasonable price, with many reviewers vowing to return.
The highlight for me was definitely the food, everything tasted incredibly authentic, with fresh ingredients & perfectly balanced flavors that really captured a true Japanese experience. Each dish felt carefully crafted & high quality.
The service was outstanding as well. The staff were attentive & very accommodating, especially with our baby, which made the visit even more enjoyable.
The atmosphere was warm & welcoming, with a nice family-oriented feel that made us feel comfortable throughout.
Overall, a fantastic spot if you're looking for authentic sushi with amazing food as the star. Would definitely come back!
I don't know maybe we went there very late night, raw fish pieces in maki were not fresh at all.
We ordered appetizer as well cuz we were starving, but appetizer came out with main dish & both took so long.
Sushi rice was not balanced at all. Too much vinegar. If you know Japanese sushi, vinegar amount in sushi is the most important thing when we decide if the place is good or not.
Our expectation was too high bcz of good reviews & bcz we saw chefs are Japanese.
It's really tasty, I tried their Takoyaki Balls & Fish Soup, all is awesome 👍👍👍👍👍 I returned again on my birthday, & ordered their Grilled Eel Bento, miam miam miam Definately recommande 😊😊😊

Quand tu entres dans un resto japonais & que c'est rempli d'expats japonais, tu sais que tu es au bon endroit.
Cet endroit est impeccable en tous points! Si vous pensiez avoir goûté des sushis dans votre vie, je vous promets qu'à moins de vous rendre au Pays du Soleil Levant directement, il y a peu de chances de faire mieux. Observez bien l'exceptionnelle qualité du riz, sont goût, sa texture. C'est subtil mais vous y verrez là les marques d'un vrai chef.
& si le sushi ne vous dit rien (je vous plaindrais : c'est si bon!...), alors ne ratez surtout pas l'occasion de vous offrir le steak de thon.
& c'est st exactement ça que c'est : c'est un strak, mais fait avec un gros morceau de thon.
& vous risquez de vous en souvenir sur votre lit de mort tellement ça goûte la perfection.
One of the few Japanese restaurants serving Japanese cuisine prepared by Japanese. Properly seasoned sushi rice, & traditional Japanese menu items rarely seen elsewhere.
Only minutes from Montreal, & lots of parking. Worth the trip.
Great experience a Sushi Yasi! 🍣 The sushi was fresh, beautifully prepared, & full of flavor. Friendly staff, cozy atmosphere, & quick service made it even better. Definitely a place I'd love to visit again!
We like coming to the place, they have solid quality of sushi & a hearty Japanese pancake. What we wish is their hospitality to be improved, it's a Japanese restaurant, after all. Apparently in the end, they wanted us to finish & leave asap, & we could understand that. But the manner in which a waiter expressed her request was nothing close to Japanese cultural code. She threw her torso on the table & started grabbing plates & utensils, mumbling in the end that the next reservation is up… this kind of spoiled the impression from the food. We hope that it was just an unfortunate accident.
I chose to try this place because the reviews look good & let me tell you that I was not disappointed! Every single sushi I had was DELICIOUS. Ingredients are very fresh. I will definitely be coming here again! I'm in love 😍
