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!

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.
Celebrating my birthday, staffs were very nice & welcoming. They paid attention to the occasion we have reserved & offered us a slice of cake to celebrate my birthday & even sang me happy birthday song.
Food & presentation was good. We enjoyed their Chirashi bowls.
Je recommande vivement la cuisine de ce resto !
Du service jusqu'à l'assiette, rien n'a été déplaisant. Les poke bowl sont excellents pour le même prix que dans d'autres enseignes bien moins qualitatives. Les portions étaient très correctes & la qualité des produits étaient très bonne! Le rapport qualité prix est parfait.
I've been ordering since 4 years at Yen, & I even told my friends & family about it because the food was amazing, well presented, & the ambiance really nice. 90% of the time I was happy with the service & the food.
That's until recently, I've ordered take out & was disappointed at the tiny amount of fish.
There was literally 30g of fish (3 half bites) I could barely notice it was in there). When I used to order there was a good 100-130g, enough to feel like it was a lot. Like I used to feel delighted at how it was delicious & good value. Now it felt like eating 24$ bowl of rice with veggies 😢😢 I don't know if it was the chef but I'm scared to come back if this is the new standard.
Yen Cuisine Japonaise is such a cute spot, perfect for a date or a fun night out with friends. The vibe is super cozy with the brick wall & wooden panels, very Zen. But the real star? The food! The Sashimi Moriawase bowl was not only gorgeous but also insanely fresh & delicious. I also tried Soba noodles for the first time, & even though they were cold, the mix of black truffle mayo, tobiko, & scallops was chef's kiss! Can't wait to go back & try more dishes!
I brought my family here for my mom's birthday & we had an amazing time. We ordered a variety of salmon, unagi, & torched hamachi sushi rolls, along with a bowl of gyudon. The first thing I noticed - they're very generous with their portions. You really get your money's worth. Second, the staff made us feel like a priority; they tended to our every need (& promptly) despite the restaurant being pretty busy. Third, the service worked very quickly! We were served within 15 minutes of ordering, & the waitress who took care of us frequently cleared the table & came by to check up on us. Lastly, the atmosphere was super calming, yet there was a nice buzz you could feel through Yen. There was always mellow chatter surrounding you, it was cozy & warm. :) My mom thoroughly enjoyed herself… & she's usually a harsh critic! She said she'd bring her work friends here the next time for a lunch or dinner date, & she barely eats out. It was so refreshing to see her so happy. Come here for QUALITY food, great service, & a happy time! :DDDD

My poke bowl was really good & I really loved the ambiance of the restaurant! We took a reservation in case there wouldn't be any seats & I recommend that just in case if you want to go there on a weekend night!
Had a work function here & loved the sashimi which was generous & tasty. Some of the tempura was unfortunately mushy & the salad dressing overpowered the salad, but that was balanced out by the chawanmushi, the sashimi, noodle bowls & others! Overall, delicious!
I am quite disappointed with this place. I ordered foie gras & grilled eel rice bowl but got another combination with foie gras & scallop...& the napkin is dirty with very obvious brown stains. The atmosphere is kind of oppressive not relaxing. The price is okay...but I guess you will have a better option in mtl with the same price.
One thing is certain, in this restaurant you get a good quality-price. The bowls are still generous too in portions but if you eat a lot you may need an appetizer. I wouldn't say it's the best sushi I ate. The rice lacked flavor, the fishes are all the cheapest cuts, etc. However, for the price I paid, this is very good. In Montreal, I'm happy about this find. I really enjoyed the ambiance too & the service was good. Overall, a good ratio for quality & price. With slightly more generous portions.

Best Sashimi Bowl in Montreal! The Nori Barachirashi was absolutely delicious, with incredibly fresh fish. I also had the Salmon Sashimi which was amazing, with zero fishy aftertaste! The service is excellent & the atmosphere is very warm & cozy. Highly recommended!
Great food quality, even better for the price of it all! The sashimi taste so great, & even better with the red fish eggs around it. Also a perfect place for scallop lovers. The atmosphere & decor of the restaurant really adds a lot to the experience too. There were so many things on the menu that looked so delectable that I will definitely be coming back! We had a soba & scallop noodles, rainbow pokebol, gyu miso soup & soba noodles & a barachirashi bowl. All recommended!
Great place! I've been here twice, & I was pretty happy both times. The servers are mindful, respectful, & friendly! I did not get anything big, but the poki bowls taste great! A little bit on the pricey side, but the quantities are generous. The ingredients taste very fresh too! I ordered a Salmon classic poki bowl on my first visit & a Rainbow poki bowl the 2nd time. Service was also quite fast. I did not wait long during the two times I went to this place. (The first time was really busy, too. Overall, great restaurant. I can't say much about the other food items, but I do know their rice bowls are very good too (based on my friends' opinions)
Came here for a friend's birthday dinner after 6 pm on a Sunday & were seated immediately. The service was quick & the fish was very fresh! I really recommend the rainbow poke bowl but the menu has sooo many options (including vegetarian options!)
The fusion of foie gras & japanese food are mouthwatering. Definitely recommend the salmon roll with foie gras & unagi with foie gras rice bowl. Those two are out of this world.
