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.
Le meilleur sushi de Montréal, sans aucun doute.
Ce petit restaurant sans prétention propose des sushis absolument exceptionnels. La fraîcheur des ingrédients est indiscutable, & le riz est cuit à la perfection - chaque bouchée est un vrai régal.
L'attention du maître sushi est remarquable : on sent la passion & le souci du détail dans chaque assiette.
C'est, selon moi, le meilleur sushi en ville.
Je le recommande sans la moindre hésitation !
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.

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
It's got 5 stars for a reason. Really good sushi/poke for a very reasonable price. You can see everything being made fresh. I got a salmon poke bowl & my partner got a Montreal.
This is the second time I come here. First time sushi, which was excellent! Today I came by to pick up a salmon poké. Everything is great, he's a one man show & still politely excuses himself if he may be a little late on an order.
I love supporting small businesses like these!
Keep up the great work 😃
Wow, absolutely by far the best poke bowl I've had. Curated with attention to ingredients & flavors. Would highly recommend this place to those that are thinking twice!
there is only one chef who's incredibly nice & really friendly, the sushi was so beautiful i felt bad eating it but it was the most delicious sushi I've ever had & probably ever will have. 10/5 stars definitely recommend coming here.
The most delicious sushi I've ever had! The place is run by a very polite Japanese chef who manages everything on his own. It truly felt like a little corner of Japan (even though I've never been there, haha). An amazing experience overall, & I'll definitely be back!
We ordered the Calgary Combo for two, the portion was just right.

Service was a little on the slower side but MAN the quality in the sushi is amazing. They play with texture & flavours making the eating experience absolutely phenomenal. We went to UTO on a whim & it was some of my best sushi experiences in a very long time! The food was 100% worth the wait.
Amazing food. Very good food, while being very affordable. The owner was kind & even gave us some free asian candy to try. Well worth the wait when it's busy.
