If i could give this place 10 stars, i would.
From someone who's had sushi all over the globe, including Michelin-starred restaurants, Nobu, & the freshest spots in Hawaii, I can confidently say this place is the absolute best. Seriously, forget everything you think you know about sushi until you've eaten here. The fish is unbelievably fresh, the rice is perfectly seasoned, & the chef's knife skills are out of this world. Each piece is a work of art, bursting with flavor & melting in your mouth. This isn't just a meal; it's a sushi experience that will ruin all other sushi for you.
Great sushi place!
What truly sets this place apart is the freshness of the fish.
Also un exceptional experience. From the moment you step in, you're greeted by the warm, minimalist décor & a friendly owner/chef that immediately makes you feel welcome!

Even after reading all the reviews I was blown away. I would have payed double for what we got. Had the best & freshest tasting sushi that I have ever had in my life, seaweed salad was amazing & my girlfriend got a poke bowl that was again… the best bowl either of us had ever had. The owner loon even makes his own soy sauce. I asked where he gets it from because I wanted to stockpile it at home it was so good I could drink it strait up. Best food we've had in the entire trip!
The food is very delicious! The chef Loon is super nice! He's been doing sushi for more than 20 years, a real expert ! The fish are really fresh on daily delivery!
It is absolutely no exaggeration when I say that this is the best poke bowl I've ever had! & I have traveled to Hawaii. The bowl is delicious, the ingredients are fresh, & the portion is generous. The same goes for sushi. You can tell that the owner, who btw. is very friendly & welcoming, takes great care in how he prepares the food & in choosing the best ingredients. It's a quaint little place that we frequent every time we visit Montreal ❤️

Tried UTO for the first time & it was absolutely fantastic. I ordered the veggie poke bowl & it came with so many fresh & delicious toppings! The man who was working there was very sweet as well.
The sushi is so fresh & tasty, even my daughter likes it & she so picky for food. We love sushi & poke bowls at this place more than others. The owners are so kind. Very recommended quality & price.
UNREAL & understated sushi gem in the neighbourhood. We've gone twice in two weeks & everything is incredible. The poke bowls are delicious, stacked with fresh ingredients & flavours. Food is well priced, & don't skip out on the sauces.
This is the best poke bowl I've ever had. The ingredients are very fresh & the portion is big. The boss is very strict in choosing the ingredients & only chooses the best quality, & he is very attentive, including all the sauces are his own exclusive recipes! Yum yum! Must try! ❤️
Astoundingly good sushi at any price point, but at this price truly exceptional. The chef was very kind & welcoming. When I wanted to order too much food instead of taking the upsell, told me it would be too much & had me order the perfect amount. Fresh fish, beautiful preparation & fantastic presentation. There's a reason for the 5.0 average!
