Located in the popular neighborhood of Village/Centre-Sud in Montreal, it is becoming increasingly difficult to choose among the many Japanese restaurants that are sprouting like mushrooms. Fortunately for everyone, restaurant Uchi on Amherst Street is here to reassure us that there's nothing to worry about, this is a true Japanese restaurant.
Uchi proposes a unique and varied menu consisting of appetizers, seafood and tasty rolls. Their mouth-watering small hors d'oeuvres will beautifully compliment the delicious main meals of this unrivaled cuisine. We can also find on the menu some specialties such as sushi, tuna Tataki, spicy scallop roll and beef sashimi. Furthermore, we added Szechuan cuisine to our menu. This cuisine is prepared with spices that will warm up any adventurer.
Although the decor is of a sleek and modern Japanese style, you will quickly figure out that you will not be coming back here for it's decor alone, but also for the very high quality food that is served to you!
Overall, reviews for Uchi praise very fresh, high quality sushi and a broad menu that includes both Japanese and Chinese items, with standout rolls such as lychee and favorites like garlic mushrooms; prices are described as fair for the quality. The BYOB option is repeatedly welcomed, and many diners note generous portions and strong value, with the Sushi Boat cited as a popular choice for groups. Service is consistently described as attentive, friendly, and non judgmental, contributing to a warm, welcoming atmosphere. Some remarks mention a lively or loud dining room and suggest improvements to acoustics and lighting, while others appreciate the refined yet cozy vibe and modern minimalistic decor. Takeout and delivery experiences are described as reliable, with quality remaining high after renovations and across the menu. A small portion of comments point out that some dishes may skew more towards Chinese preparation or that prices can feel higher compared to similar options, but the consensus remains that Uchi delivers fresh, well prepared dishes and strong overall value.
Not only are the sushis amazing (as many comments have already mentioned it) but their stir frys are Top notch. Always quality ingredients. Simply delicious!!
Easily some of the best sushi I've ever had. This is really a true gem & we stumbled upon it as we are staying in a hotel near the restaurant. Service was amazing - the staff were so attentive!! The fish is insanely fresh & each roll exceeded our expectations. We will for sure be coming back!!!
Great food, very nice service. They really need to put up some sound baffling decorative elements though it's really LOUD when the place is full. I dare say the servers are at risk of hearing damage working in that noise.
It's loud customers fault but there's only clean hard surfaces, it would not be hard to reduce the echo & make it much nicer for other dinners. Otherwise though, first rate sushi! �
Uchi Sushi is a true gem for sushi lovers. Their sushi is exceptionally fresh & beautifully presented, showcasing a perfect blend of flavors & textures. The menu offers a delightful variety, including creative rolls & traditional favorites. The atmosphere is cozy, making it a great spot for both casual dining & special occasions. Don't miss the chance to savor their culinary artistry!
We decided to go for sushi after coming back from a day in Quebec city.
Food - We ordered several rolls, edamae, vegetable gyoza & various pieces of sushi. We were excited that our rolls came on a boat, as this doesn't happen often in Alberta unless you order a set boat meal. Everything was good & the pieces of sushi were generous in size. We definitely left with our bellies full & everything was good but there wasn't anything special about the rolls.
Service - The service was great. We were greeted promptly & staff checked on us frequently.
Atmosphere - Restaurant was cozy & quiet.

It was our first visit to Uchi but not our last! From the moment we entered, we were well taken care of. The place is simple & not too big. There were a few groups celebrating occasions.
We ordered a boat for 2 but it could have easily served 3 people - generous & just awesome. The best ever! We had a soup & salad as well included in the price of $70. It was good value to say the least. Very fresh food & creative. The sushi pizza was unbelieveable!
It's a BYOB restaurant & that's another plus. We hope to go back, again & again!
Excellent restaurant ! Tout était bon ! : soupe wonton, rouleaux, épinards frits, pad Thaï, Général Tao & sushis ! Tout était bien & chaud sauf les sushis ;) Nous recommandons absolument!
Nous avons dîné dans le temps de Noël & la présence de gros groupes rendait un peu bruyant le restaurant. Néanmoins, assises à une grande banquette, nous avons pu travailler, ce qui était le but de notre rencontre. Nous avons partagé une grande assiette de sushi, accompagnée de deux soupes & de deux thés jasmins, que nous avons forte appréciée. Il y a aussi environ huit plats japonais cuits pour les gens qui n'aiment pas le sushi. Si j'ai des critiques à formuler, c'est que le sushi n'était pas accompagné d'une soupe comme les autres repas - il fallait la commander à part. Aussi, le menu ne permet pas de commander le sushi à la pièce comme dans la plupart des autres restaurants sushi.
Bon restaurant pour manger des sushis. Du choix, le poisson est de qualité & fondant, je recommande vivement Uchi si tu es à la recherche de bons sushis à Montréal. En revanche le restaurant est très bruyant, tu seras content de sortir de la salle.
Succulents sushis. Toutes étaient très bon, soupe & salade. Bon rapport qualité prix. Ça été une belle découverte ce restaurant, c'est certain que je vais y retourner. En plus c'est un apportez votre vin
