Tenka Sushi specializes in traditional Japanese cuisine, catered towards the Montreal casual dining experience. Open since September 2007, the restaurant offers a quiet and romantic setting, ideal for families, couples, or groups of friends. The lighting is dim, the music is low, and the surroundings are peaceful. To begin, let the experienced chef present you with a choice of ten appetizers – from the traditional (shishamo fish) to the modern (sushi pizza).
The most popular dining choice at Tenka Sushi are the combo plates for two guests. Consisting of 30 to 35 pieces of sushi or sashimi, including soup or salad, these are very affordable. Main courses are extensive, and include a range of hot and cold plates such as Udon noodle soup, grilled eel on steamed rice, salmon tataki, half-cold and half-raw fish with traditional sauce served on rice, plus fried shrimp and fried crab.
Should you desire the more classic maki, sashimi, sushi or tempuras, chances are that Tenka Sushi serves it. Ask your server or the chef for any special requests. The specialty cakes come highly recommended, so save room for dessert.
Reviews describe Tenka Sushi as a place with fresh, high quality ingredients and a cozy, intimate vibe, with favorites like the Uluru roll, rainbow roll, and mango roll highlighted by many. Fresh fish and delicate sashimi are commonly praised, with pieces that melt in the mouth and a careful balance of flavors. Delivery and takeout are noted for their reliability and organization, though a few comments mention a dip in quality or service compared with earlier visits. Dine in is described as small but charming, with unique decor and a calm ambiance that makes it suitable for dates or dinners with friends. Peak hours can be busy, so calling ahead is recommended if a specific time is desired. Several reviews consider Tenka Sushi among the best in the area and a true gem, though some mention variability in consistency over time. Staff are described as friendly and accommodating and there are appealing sake options to accompany the menu. Overall the consensus is that Tenka Sushi offers a fresh, flavorful experience and reliable preparation, with most patrons leaving satisfied and planning to return.
I've enjoyed Tenka Sushi for some time now & today is no exception. Stopping in to grab some lunch in between meetings, I opted for a poke bowl, tuna one specifically, & was very satisfied with my choice.
I've tried a few other poke bowls from other places & although they are great, I always felt like they were a tad busy with ingredients & sauces, but Tenka was not the case. Very simple, light, fresh & satisfying. I did takeout this time but you can dine in. It's on the small side but has a cozy feeling to it. The service has always been great, efficient & courteous.
Great little restaurant, a beautiful discovery & a true gem! The sushi are fresh & absolutely scrumptious, the service is great. I am not sure but it does look like a family business. There are very few tables, the place is tiny so make sure you call to book if you want to dine in, else they also do take out. Warmly recommended!
Très bon resto! Bon service, amicale & rapide. Le thé vert est bon. Les plateaus de sushis sont abordables & le poisson est vraiment bon. De bon choix de sushis pour tout les gouts

Food quality is match for the price, & the freshness is guaranteed. You shall better call there 2-3 hours in advance to order the sushi so that you don't have to wait for the food takeout (they have a lot of orders!)
I've received my takeout order on time. Ingredients seemed to be high quality & fresh. However, excess mayonnaise everywhere spoiled sushi, & it was difficult to feel its real taste
"Wow, super bon spot à sushis ! Tout est frais, bien présenté pis full savoureux. Le staff est vraiment chill pis l'ambiance cozy. Parfait pour une p'tite soirée relax ou un souper en couple. Fortement recommandé ! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐"

Food looks good, but limited seating & no option to reserve a table, not given the option to wait for a table. Get a reservation system if you have such limited seating.
Ce sont les meilleurs sushis, leur poissons sont frais & les sushis fondent dans la bouche, le choix des sauces est excellent. Ma place préféré de sushis sans hésitation!
