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.
Amazing sushi. Tasty & authentic. I went to Japan & I know this is authentic sushi. I am an expert. The people are friendly & nice. They helped us find a table & brought us food all evening. I came with 2 people & we ate a lot of sushi. It was yymmy & delicious.
Anywhere with a 5* rating I'm a little skeptical - don't be! This place was great. Really friendly chef who helped with suggestions. Sushi was made fresh with only about a 10 minute wait (& they were busy!). Rolls were really tasty & a great size to be easily eaten.
Really great quality & tasty sushi at a good price! The chef was friendly & accommodating, & very generous with the fish!! Definitely my new go-to spot for sushi :)

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.
Randomly ended up here because I was in the area & craving sushi & the reviews were all 5 stars. Ohhhh my gosh, I can see why! It's a super small, lowkey spot but the sushi is next level. Super fresh, super tasty & incredibly affordable.
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.
