Had a great experience! The food was delicious there was a huge variety of sushi & plenty of other options. Everything seemed flavorful & came out very quickly.
The service was excellent as well. Everyone was so friendly, welcoming & attentive & always checking in to make sure everything was good. Overall a fantastic experience!! 🤩
Mon conjoint, ma fille de 3 ans & moi avons adoré. Nous étions à l'étage du AYCE sushi. Bien sûr, c'est cher (150$ pour nous 3 avec les taxes & le tip malgré que les enfants de moins de 4 ans mangent gratuitement), mais le service était A1, on recevait nos choses rapidement (un peu moins quand l'achalandage a augmenté vers 18h, mais à notre arrivée à 17h c'était wow), on a eu un petit kit de vaisselle pour enfant qui l'a fait sentir spéciale & tout était délicieux & bien présenté, surtout les sashimis.
Edit: second visit izakaya floor
Came here again but this time tried the izakaya. The vibes are obviously great. The water bottle & glasses are more for like a Bachelorette party vibe.
Tried the brochette variety dish, the taiyo burger( not the mountain sized one) duck platter & the ramen.
Honestly all the food was great EXCEPT THE RAMEN, the ramen was horrible. When they served it, there was no broth, the noodles were soggy, because the server probably forgot about it & let the noodles sit in the broth for too long before serving. The pickled veggie they had on it had no flavor & the pork was basically slices of bacon made into a circular shape. For what they charged i was offended at what was served for this .
However the rest of the food was great & flavorful. Not sure i would go back to the izakaya part of the restaurant again. For the high price & bitter after taste of that very poorly cooked ramen, i think ill stick to their bbq floor & sushi floor.
Also note. Their out door private bubble pods are only for those who order up to several huundred dollars worth of food &/or drink. I believe the medium pods were 300 & big ones 500. But i could be mistaken or remembering the amounts incorrectly.
First visit: bbq floor
Came during the lunch time. The menu was perfect. A good amount of beef & pork options. Honestly had everything you need for a good AYCE bbq. Service was quick, however it wasnt super busy when i was there, if it is for you then it could be possible service is slower. But keep in mind they just opened recently.
As for my experience. Orders came in at a timely fashion, i really enjoyed the conveyor belt & train delivery system, reminiscent of dining experiences i had in Japan. Food was overall pretty good. The only improvement i would say would be on the plates section, i tried the general tao chicken to see how it was. It was crunchy & had a bit of flavor but very little to no meat. Obviously you come for the meat & sushi, which were absolutly delicious, but if they want to improve, that would be one.
Aside from that the decoration is amazing. I love how the stairs to the sushi bar light up with every step you take. The projections are beautiful & enchanting. The bbq floor was filled with led animations. It is pretty awesome.
Sorry for the long review, & no picture.
But would happily return here .
Hopefully this was helpful.
The reason I didn't give 5 stars is because of the price mostly. The food was very good, albeit it is the same kind of sushi menu you'd find at any other ayce around Montreal: sushi Ste Catherine, sushi Hin, etc. Same menu. You really pay for the atmosphere, tons of projections & lighting everywhere which made it very cool.
If you have strollers, the place isn't stroller friendly, there are no elevators so you have to carry the stroller up 2 floors & back down.
We enjoyed it but at the price we paid, won't go back. With taxes & tips, it came to 98$ for 2 people. (& tips started at 18%'minimum' on the machine which is the worse practice & makes me rate down a restaurant nowadays)
