Sushi Yasu privilégie une approche traditionnelle de la cuisine japonaise à travers une sélection variée de sushis, nigiris et sashimis préparés à la main. La clientèle découvre un large éventail de rouleaux maki allant des variétés classiques au thon et au saumon jusqu'aux créations fusion modernes adaptées aux mariages d'ingrédients spécifiques. Le menu met l'accent sur la fraîcheur des produits marins et la préparation précise du riz vinaigré assaisonné qui définit l'art authentique du sushi. Des techniques culinaires maîtrisées garantissent que chaque assiette maintient une qualité et une texture constantes sur l'ensemble des propositions. Au-delà des sélections de poissons crus, la cuisine offre des plats japonais cuits, incluant des tempuras et des amuse-bouches conçus pour compléter les mets principaux. Cet établissement maintient un environnement centré sur le travail délibéré des traditions culinaires japonaises, priorisant l'exécution technique et l'intégrité des ingrédients.
Sushi Yasu est largement reconnu comme une destination incontournable pour la cuisine japonaise authentique dans la région de Montréal, souvent salué pour la fraîcheur de ses ingrédients, la maîtrise de sa préparation et un menu varié qui dépasse les sushis classiques pour proposer des plats comme le katsu curry, le wagyu et l'anguille grillée. Bien que de nombreux clients célèbrent la haute qualité, les prix raisonnables et l'atmosphère chaleureuse et familiale, certains avis soulignent que le restaurant peut être très fréquenté, entraînant parfois des délais d'attente ou un service pressé. Les avis sur la régularité de l'assaisonnement du riz à sushi et l'attention du personnel restent partagés, mais la majorité des convives considèrent cet établissement comme une adresse essentielle pour une expérience japonaise traditionnelle, jugée remarquablement fidèle à celle que l'on pourrait vivre au Japon.
Best sushi joint in the area, in a little gem of a strip mall. Staff are polite, & the sushi is of a good quality. They also have Quebec sea urchin from Rimouski, which is special.
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.
1 hour & a half wait time & the sushi was good but quality has gotten worse throughout the years. Wish they would prioritize the people actually dining in the restaurant over the take out orders.
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
I have visited the restaurant on many occasions. Having lived in Asia for several years, I have always been satisfied with the quality & authenticity of the food. The taste & presentation indicate that the chefs take pride in their business. Unfortunately, I cannot say the same about the servers, most of whom leave a great deal to be desired. Though there are one or two exceptions, most of them do not greet you upon entering. In fact, they ask quite rudely if you have a reservation. Not very welcoming. Through the rest of the service, they are not particularly polite or courteous, & you are made to feel as if you are fortunate just to have been given a table. When observing their interaction with other customers, I get the impression that I am not the only one who feels this way. They are unapologetic when things go wrong, & at times, they almost seem to be rushing people out. They are unable / unwilling to answer relevant questions about the food. I have also seen two of them loudly disparage customers when speaking to each other in Cantonese.
In terms of the food, I cannot get enough. In terms of the attitude of some of servers, I have seen more than enough. I will continue to go to Yasu - for takeout.
