Tri Express, in Le Plateau, offers an excellent list of Sushis and Makis. The restaurant does offer dine-in but is mainly known for its take-out service.
Tri Express Sushi Plateau garners consistent praise for exceptional freshness, solid value, and a cozy, eclectic vibe in a quiet neighborhood. The sashimi and the tri lobster are repeatedly described as excellent, and the sushi is often called among the best in Montreal, with many noting ultra-fresh fish and creative pieces such as sushi pizza and the omakase options like the Omakase de Luxe and Choix du chef. Service is described as friendly and efficient by many, with attentive staff, though a few reviews report slower or brusque service during peak times and occasional seating or timing hiccups. Allergen considerations are warmly handled, with staff reassuring guests and checking ingredients for sesame and gluten restrictions. The atmosphere is noted as intimate and welcoming, and the decor is often mentioned as stylish and quirky, with the location adding to the charm. Despite the occasional service misstep or minor menu gripe, Tri Express Sushi Plateau is viewed as a must-visit for sushi lovers in Montreal and a standout in the Plateau, with many reviewers eager to return for the quality, presentation, and reliable freshness.
Stepping into Tri Express feels like slipping through a hidden portal. The place itself is truly special, beautifully decorated with antique, vintage pieces inspired by the marine world. It's unique in a way that makes you want to slow down & take it all in.
The atmosphere is warm & inviting, & the service matches it perfectly. The staff are friendly, attentive. The table setup is thoughtfully done, yet simple.
Now, the food… honestly, amazing. You can taste the freshness in every bite. The menu offers a great variety, & the combinations are both creative & well-balanced. The sushi stands out, the rice is just perfect in both thickness & quality, so you don't feel overly full, just satisfied.
My absolute favorites were the salmon tartare, the lobster tartare & the maki de saison tri, incredibly fresh & full of flavor. We also started with a sashimi nouveau style topped with apple & a special sauce, which was a really nice & refreshing touch. Even the presentation of each dish was on point.
As for the price, it's very reasonable considering the quality & quantity you get. & just to clarify, the total you see on the bill was for one person, while we were actually two dining.
Overall, Tri Express is not just a restaurant, it's an experience. Definitely a place I'd come back to.
Mon restaurant de sushi préféré à Montréal! Une belle ambiance, un super rapport qualité-prix & bien sûr, des plats délicieux. Mention spéciale pour les tartares
Souper sur le pouce avec des amis, on ne peut pas dire que c'était notre soir. Le décor fait cliché mais c'est sympa mais l'expérience était étrange dans l'assiette. Surtout le tartare avec du crunchy, c'est trop fusion à mon goût ! Le service perd une étoile pour m'avoir facturé un supplément qu'on m'avait offert.
Petit resto au décor de bande dessinée, chaleureux, service agréable. Nous avons choisi le menu à partager amplement suffisant pour deux personnes. Un coup de coeur pour les tartares, particulièrement savoureux. Seul bémol : la carte des vins & des bières très minime. Nous étions 4 & il ne restait que 2 lagers dans la réserve & il était 18:30! Le vin blanc faisait aussi défaut. Un peu décevant sur ce point.
I anxiously waited for restaurant covid restrictions to be lifted so I could dine in & enjoy a meal. I ended up going alone & the atmosphere was perfect, warm lighting & good selection of music. Lots of intriguing decor to keep the eyes busy & fast, friendly service. The sushi was beautifully presented & so fresh! Not to mention the tartare pyramid- a flavour explosion & had the perfect texture.

The food itself is ok, but somehow not as good as remembered when went 2 years ago for a private party at the restaurant. There is a base for all sushi' & everything else. The salmon tartare seams to be part of the pizza, sushi rolls etc. The restaurant itself is very busy & offering take out means you have to wait longer for you order . Wine list very limited
There is a constant line of people waiting for their take out (they wait inside the restaurant which is very small. The decor is very crazy & strange mix , making no sense . Won't return
