It was my second time visiting this sushi place. Loved it as usual. I'd rate it as the top few Japanese sushi places in Montreal among those I've been to. Every dish (those shown in the pics) was yummy. We ordered a few more (Toshikoshi soba, beef rice bowl & Kizuna Hotate Maki) which we forgot to take pics. They were also really delicious!View more

I took many friends to YEN over the past two years. This time, I ordered one of their poke bowls with salmon & scallops-it was beautifully arranged, super fresh, & the balance of flavors was spot on. The rice was seasoned just right, & the sauce had enough depth without overpowering the ingredients.
What stood out to me was how calm & inviting the space felt. It's minimal but warm, with clean lines & soft lighting that make you want to slow down & actually enjoy your food. The staff were really kind too-patient with questions, & they seemed to genuinely care about making sure the bowl came out the way I liked it.View more

Muy rico el poke de maguro, y el tartare de salmón, aunque hubo uno de los makis que fue muy insulso, el resto estaba muy buenoView more

Absolutely exceptional experience at YEN Cuisine Japonaise! From the moment we walked in, the ambiance was calm, elegant, & inviting. The service was warm & attentive without being intrusive - a perfect balance.
The food? Simply outstanding. Every dish was beautifully presented & packed with authentic Japanese flavor. The sushi was incredibly fresh, the ramen rich & flavorful, & the attention to detail in every bite was clear. You can tell they take real pride in their craft.
Whether you're a longtime fan of Japanese cuisine or trying it for the first time, YEN is a must-visit. A perfect blend of tradition & modern refinement. Highly recommend - we'll definitely be back!View more

Je voulais des ramen, hélas changement de propriétaire donc le menu n'est plus le même. J'ai pris un Fuji Chirashi, quantité de riz correcte mais c'est maigre par dessus, résultat 36$ le tout pour un bol de riz avec quelques tranches de poissons. Au niveau du goût, c'était ordinaire.View more

The food at Yen Japanese Sushi was actually quite good - fresh & nicely prepared. However, the overall experience was a bit underwhelming.
The service wasn't great: staff seemed inattentive & not very welcoming. The atmosphere was also just okay - nothing particularly special or inviting.
I might return for the sushi, but definitely hope the service improves.View more

Love the setting, had a great lunch, classic Japanese items that are not so common (ie: zaru soba). Welcoming & caring staff.View more

2 ième visite pour nous. Encore très satisfaits! Mes nouilles Soba étaient juste incroyables. Aussi très satisfait par les entrées (tartare saumon, poulet frit). La miso était succulente. Nous avons trouvé le nori barasgirashi & un poké contenant de l'oursin manquaient un peu de saveur. Par contre le vin aux prunes fut une découverte mémorable. Je recommande !View more
