Reviews consistently describe UTO Sushi as fresh, flavorful, and generously portioned, with many diners calling it the best sushi they have had and a Montreal gem. The fish is praised for exceptional freshness and quality, with standout items including eel, torched sushi, maki, nigiri, and poke bowls, and the chef or owner is repeatedly described as friendly, welcoming, and attentive. Several notes mention good value and solid takeout options, though during peak hours or close to closing there can be a wait, and some advise ordering in advance. The place feels small and family run, with personal touches such as in house sauces and a hands on chef who makes an effort to accommodate preferences. Overall, customers express strong satisfaction and a clear intention to return, often recommending the spot to friends and considering it among the top sushi options in the city.
Grateful to find this hidden gem before the owner closes his place by the end of this year, so sad :( The owner was very polite & talented! He really makes great sushi rolls. This is by far one of the best sushi places we've ever been to!
My husband & I are a foodie, we travel for food & have high standards for sashimi. We even like travelling to Japan, usually we stay there for 2 months just to have authentic sushi, so when I say this place has amazing sushi rolls, it really is! No sugar coating here.
For everyone travelling to Montreal, please visit this place! I will rate this 10 stars ✨ You're welcome!
Absolutely love this place. The eel poke is outstanding, & the chef-who I believe is also the owner-is incredibly warm & welcoming. The quality of the produce is exceptional, especially considering how reasonable the prices are. A truly special spot that I can't recommend highly enough. Simple put, a Montreal gem & a must-try.

Very nice experience, fresh sushi, nice prices, combo platters don't feel like another boring cucumber/avocado boring combination. Definitely my new favorite spot. i hope this hidden gem flourishes & keeps this quality of sushi in Montreal
Hidden gem in the plateau serving the best sushi in the area. Generous portions for the affordable price. The eel poke bowl was really good, this place is a lot better than the other sushi places kicking around at the moment. The guy working there is super nice to, great service

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 small sushi spot is a hidden gem! The cozy atmosphere is complemented by excellent service &, most importantly, incredible food. The fish is fresh, the rolls are thoughtfully crafted, & every bite bursts with flavor. Despite its size, this place delivers on quality, making it a must-visit for any sushi lover. Highly recommend!
Such a great little gem of a sushi place! Food is spectacular & you really get your money's worth. The owner is so friendly & even recommended which pieces went best with different sauces. We will absolutely be coming back!

A local gem for those who are in a neighborhood, but also worth the trek. A friendly, courteous & polite owner who takes the time to ensure every detail is perfect on each roll. The menu will likely be modified with new & tastier rolls, but the sushi is fresh, rice well seasoned, extremely fair pricing & generous portions. Tasty food, great service, multiple options, clean setting, really affordable. Just what you would expect from a local sushi spot! Bonus, there is a lot on the northwest side at the corner of Prince Arthur & St Urbain (one block away) that gives you two hour free parking.
