Overall, reviews describe Sushi Yasu as a place with fresh ingredients, authentic flavors, and careful preparation that deliver a true Japanese experience, with a warm family style atmosphere and attentive service appreciated by many; the menu is praised for variety and good value, with favorites like sashimi, nigiri, bento boxes, grilled eel, wagyu and uni, and rice often praised for balance and quality. Some comments note occasional drawbacks such as cramped seating, longer waits when busy, and inconsistent timing between appetizers and mains, as well as critiques of overly vinegared rice or a few dishes not meeting expectations; however these concerns do not overshadow generally strong impressions and many say it is among the best sushi options in town, worth a return visit especially if a reservation is made. Takeout is also common and practical, and the overall sentiment is positive about the experience.
Tout simplement le meilleur restaurant japonais de la grande région de Montréal!
Le personnel est incroyablement attentionné, le service est toujours impeccable, & le chef, ainsi que toute l'équipe en cuisine, sont incroyablement talentueux & minutieux.
Les ingrédients sont d'une fraîcheur irréprochable & chaque plat est préparé avec un soin & un amour qui se goûtent. Après des années à y retourner, c'est toujours un sans-faute. Imbattable.
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!
