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.
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
La nourriture est excellente comme à l'habitude & je recommande à tous....
La seule chose qui est déplaisante, c'est le bruit! On a de la difficulté à s'entendre parler.
Il serait probablement possible de corriger le bruit provenant des tables voisine avec des tuiles acoustique au plafond.
La bouffe est délicieuse : lorsque nous avons la chance d'y aller, on y va!
Malheureusement, ils te rappellent que nous devrons partir à une certaine heure & la bouffe prend son temps à arriver à la tabler.
La nourriture est excellente & le service est bien. Le seul bémol est qu'une fois le restaurant bien rempli, le niveau de décibel augmente tellement que l'on doit pratiquement crier pour continuer à se parler.
Très difficile de commander au restaurant sur la rue à Amherst. La ligne est toujours engagée ou on est mis en attente pendant de longues minutes. & aussi je me suis déjà fait refusé une livraison... pas fort le service
