I made a reservation at Yakimoni Sushi Bar & when we arrived we were seated immediately. The renovated restaurant has a great ambiance & beautiful decor.

A minute or so after we sat down, a busboy came up & asked us if we wanted water. He gave us the choice between tap water & Mineral water or any other drink (they have a full bar). I misunderstood him & ended up ordering a $10 bottle of mineral water.

The waiter came to take out order. I was with my wife & we ordered Jalapeno poppers, two Miso soups, a poke bowl & something called Dan Dan noodles.

The food came out quickly & hot. It was timed well so when one course ended, the other was ready to go & the food was delicious, although I found the portions a bit small for the price point. We then ordered dessert, Lava cake with ice cream & an Apple crumble with ice cream.

This is where the very enjoyable evening started getting frustrating.

As we waited for dessert, the busboy came up to the table & asked us if we were waiting for dessert. We responded yes. He then walked away, but came back about a minute letter & literally started washing the table under our arms. No excuse me, no oh this table is dirty, let me clean that for you, just a wet rag scrubbing the table while we waited for dessert.

dessert came & once again, impeccable. Then just as I scooped up the last morsel of ice cream the waiter walked up with the bill, put it in front of me & then hovered over me with the credit card machine. I glanced at the bill & pulled out my credit card & tapped. The bill came out & he handed it to me & walked away.

I looked at the bill a little more carefully & started talking to my wife when suddenly the waiter reappeared. He apologized & asked us to leave the restaurant, out table was needed.

I glanced to the front of the restaurant, there was nobody waiting. I looked around & there were many people sitting & talking, in fact, the people at the table right next to us were there before we came in & had been chatting for an hour while we ate & we're still there when we were told to leave. Plus there were more than three empty tables in the restaurant.

After spending $200 on a couple of meals, I figured I would be able to sit a few moments after the meal, maybe even order a drink from the bar...Nope. We were told to leave.

What a great way to mar a wonderful experience, such a shame.

Went for dinner at Yakimono sushi bar with a reservation for 830, let me tell you. Atmosphere was outstanding, I was greeted by Vanina the hostess she was very delightful, kind & good vibes all together. My server Perez took my order I had a wine & some rolls. Food came quick with a touch of the busser Seth being very kind & attentive which to me is important when eating out. Overall I would 100% recommend a night out here if there is availability, you will feel special! Thank you 10/10

Un restaurant de sushi kasher à Montréal, je ne savais même pas que ça existait! À bien y penser ça fait du sens. & ça donne une atmosphère différente. Ce soir-là, la clientèle semblait majoritairement juive autant francophone qu’anglophone. Quoi qu’il en soit, si ce restaurant de mon voisinage est très fréquenté, c’est parce que c’est bon & que c’est frais, kasher ou pas. Le service était efficace, amical & sans façon. Stéphanie, notre serveuse, a été de bon conseil pour le choix des mets & du vin.

Nous avons pris le Titanic, un choix de 5 rouleaux servi dans une barque en bois (amusant). Succulent & frais, rien à redire. Un plat copieux pour deux, mais il ne faut pas hésiter à rapporter ce que vous ne pouvez manger dans un « doggy bag », une pratique peu courante chez les francophones en général, mais très répandues chez les Montréalais anglophones. La terrasse est sympathique & le décor intérieur est joli. Il n’y a pas d’aubaine à faire ici, mais les prix ne sont pas exorbitants non plus. 115 $ pour 2 incluant une entrée pour 2, le vin, les taxes & le pourboire.
