You also can’t ask for better service. Fanny and Kina always take care of you with genuine hospitality, and Coco, the manager, is super kind and welcoming.

Honestly, it’s one of the best places to chill, eat well, and enjoy the vibe. Highly recommend!“

“Had the head chef prepare a dinner for two based on their speciality. Being from Toronto and trying all the different Japanese restaurants there, his selection of speciality dishes was beyond my expectations. Great experience and great quality food.

“Les plats sont originaux, goûteux. Le service est rapide et attentionné. La morue noire était délicieuse. J’aime!“

“Incredible food! Some of the best sushi I've had! Can't wait to go back!“

“J’ai utilisé le système de commandes en ligne. J’arrive chez moi et je me rend compte que je n’ai pas les bons items (mauvaise saveur d’onigiris). Je leur ai écrit sur Facebook pour les avertir, et on m’a rapidement et gentiment offert de venir me livrer la bonne commande chez moi. J’ai eu les bons onigiris et un biscuit en prime. Excellent service à la clientèle, merci! P.S. ce sont les meilleurs onigiris que j’ai eu en ville 😄“

“The salmon with caviar was deviné.“

“This was one of our most favorite dining experiences in Montreal. We ordered the salmon and chicken poke bowls as part of a lunch special which included miso soup and shrimp tempura. The food was excellent - fresh, flavorful ingredients, well-presented - and the service was attentive & friendly. Overall a fabulous value. Highly recommend!“

“Sushi délicieux!! Tout étais vraiment excellent! j'ai bien hâte d'en manger sur place!“

“Meilleurs sushis dans le quartier, rapport qualité prix excellent.. Entreprise familiale avec un service à la clientèle formidable..“

“The food here is great, but it’s not great enough to make it worth the price for me, personally. And I think a lot of people feel similarly because we went on a Saturday night at peak dinner time and it was almost fully empty…

It’s really a shame though because that steak and chicken dinner was delicious! But 60$+ per person with the tip and tax, considering it’s just a plate of meat and veggies that someone cooked in front of you, I don’t know if it’s super worth it. Cool experience still.“

“J'ai visité ce restaurant sans aucune attente pour un diner alors que j'étais dans le coin. Quelle découverte! J'ai pris une soupe avec du porc, suggérée par la serveuse (qui était super gentille et nous conseillait vraiment bien). Le porc était si tendre que je le coupais avec mes baguettes. La souper était tellement gouteuse. Des saveurs que je n'avais jamais expérimentées et tout cela dans un petit resto super sympathique. Les prix sont plus que raisonnables. Honnêtement, j'ai juste hâte de retourner dans le coin pour y manger à nouveau et essayer d'autres plats sur leur menu. Une superbe découverte. Dommage que j'habite aussi loin! ;)“

“Great sushi in the village!
We stopped in before a show to have a nice meal and we were not disappointed. We started with a glass of wine and oysters as they have a special on Wednesdays. The mignonette was delicious and the oysters were ice cold and fresh. We then shared the Kar-age which is a fried chicken appetizer 10/10. Our waiter Kevin 10/10 helped us navigate the sushi which was absolutely amazing! The cherry blossom tree is a very cool design element.
If you’re down in the village it’s definitely worth a trip!“

“Tres different!La deco tres special et chaleureux! Les cocktails vraiment délicieux! Le serveur nous a expliqué les différentes cocktails et le menu ! Le service 5/5 Excellent! L’endroit un peu petit mais très COZY!“

“Votre passion se transmet dans vos plats! Vous faites du bien à l'âme par votre cuisine. En direct du Kamouraska et du Temiscouata, MERCI!!“

“My daughter and I enjoyed our dinner we ordered several dishes to share general Tao , imperial rolls, bao and dumplings“

“Très belle expérience. On ne savait pas à quoi s'attendre. Nous avons fait des recherches et les avis avaient l'air sympathiques. Lorsque j'ai mis le pied à l'intérieur du restaurant, je me suis demandé comment serait l'expérience. C'était pas le décor et la musique auxquels je m'attendais. Nous avons eu un très bon service convivial, les entrées et les sushis étaient délicieux, goûteux et savoureux. Prix raisonnable. Très bonne musique, bonne ambiance.“

“Incroyablement bon et absolument recommandé.“

“I was visiting from California and wanted to eat at a nice restaurant and Ryu ended up being the perfect choice. The service was fantastic, our waiter was so kind and gave us welcome shots at the end of the dinner.
The food, incredible, the wine/cocktails, incredible. I highly recommend!“

“I had a great dinner with friends on 8 June. Good food of great value. Waiter Samuel is cheerful and helpful.“

“Meilleur experience resto entre amis à Montréal!“

“This place has some of the best affordable sushi in town. We came in on a saturday evening before the big snowstorm and the restaurant was not busy at all. We were the only customers.

The rolls were great and the fish was fresh. We ordered a few platters and the wait time was fine. However, there was a very tiny issue when we wanted to ask for the bill. We were told the bill could only be given to us after everyone had paid. Fine. We were given the bill when paying.

However, when we got home, we noticed that the restaurant had charged us an extra 2 rolls (+20$) to our bill. It might have been a mistake from the staff, but this could have been avoided if we were given our bill before we paid.. We'll be back in the future as the food was delicious and we had good service, but removing a small star because of the bill issue.“

“Was craving poke impulsively and found this gem! Will definitely come back 😋“

“The staff stands out with exceptional manners and professionalism. Every interaction demonstrates genuine hospitality, making guests feel truly welcomed. From order taking to service delivery, their courteous approach adds a special touch to the dining experience.“

“I've gone a couple times. the food is always amazing. Gotta say though. Our waiter with the short dyed blond hair was amazing. Friendly, prompt. He cleared dishes right away, Great with kids. I feel this place really lucked out hiring him“

“1re expérience avec ami et conjoint nous avons tomber sous le charme des ramens qui étaient goûteux et délicieux très authentiques à y retourner !!! Quelque erreurs dans nos commandes et facture mais c’est pas grave le service étaient tellement gentil et nous avons adorer nos plats :) point constructif que j’aimerais apporter c’est d’offrir plus de choix dans vos consommations je crois que ce saurait pertinent dans votre menu :)“

“Really impressed by Ohayo Café. As someone from Japan, I’m picky about dashi in noodle soups, and their soba broth was excellent. The flavors were balanced and authentic. The dorayaki was fresh and soft, and the coffee was also great.

Great Japanese café with quality food. Definitely worth a visit.“

“Almoço delicioso. Recomendo !!!“

“The sashimi is so fresh they have so many choices honestly everything we tried was great . It was also very quick even though the place was packed“

“Best ramen in Montréal Cant wait to go back“

“Yubari is an excellent choice for anyone looking for high-quality food, a great ambiance, and outstanding service. The staff are friendly, helpful, and consistently go out of their way to assist when needed. The menu offers a strong variety of Asian fusion options, including fresh sushi, meat dishes, and standout appetizers.

Highly recommend for anyone looking for a great spot to enjoy good food, good service, and a fun time with friends.“

“Abordable et Très Bon!!!!“

“Toujours bon et bonne service ���“

“We had the salmon and the vegi poke bowl with shrimp tempura as an appetizer. Following this, we decided to also get the california and the shrimp tempura rolls. The food was absolutely delicious and we would definitely recommend it. The size of the bowls were a little bit small for us, which is why we also ordered the rolls afterwards. The service was very fast, friendly and forthcoming. Would definitely come again.“

“Limited seating!

But i loved my experience here. Very clean, timely and the onigiri are superb! Totally worth it, my favourite so far is the kimchi avocado one (vegan)! Definitely will come here again.

The fusion one with beef was a favourite as well.“
