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.
Food is beautifully displayed & very tasty! Service was a bit slow, it took 45 minutes to get our food. I was surprised that there was no drinks like sake or wine available since the price point is on the expensive side. Dining room gets noisy during peak dinner time & it's hard to hear each other.

Soooo good, fresh & delicious as always. We go very often & are never disappointed. Fast service too. Only negative is the sound in there, very noisy so you have to get accustomed to the noise.
Plat très savoureux, on sent bien que ce sont des plats cuisinés. La quantité est également très généreuse. Je recommande énormément les petites soupes (won ton & miso).
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!
