Kyo Bar Japonais

This is a touristic place. Doesn’t really feel like a Japanese restaurant. Sushi’s were not authentic with a lot of sweet sauce but if that is what you like it is ok. I found the cocktails way overpriced for what we had.

I've had better sushi from gas stations. Considering the price, I'm quite disappointed. Drinks were also bad and very overpriced ($20 each). Presentation was nice though.

The food here is exceptional, and the ambiance sets the perfect mood for either a date night or a fun girls' night out. The space is intimate with dim lighting, giving it a moody, inviting vibe.

We kicked things off with the Wagyu gyoza, which was absolutely delicious, followed by the perfectly seasoned takoyaki, each bite filled with a generous chunk of octopus. The fried calamari, paired with a side of spicy mayo, was crispy and flavorful. The bluefin tuna tataki, served with ponzu and jalapeño, was a standout--bursting with umami flavor.

We also tried the chef's choice of 7 nigiri rolls, and each piece was an absolute delight. To wrap up the evening, you must order the yuzu donuts, which come with a sesame condensed milk dip. The combination was mind-blowing--an unforgettable way to end the night. Highly recommend this place!

Avoid for lunch at all cost.
Took 40+ minutes to get main course. They forgot our appetizers. Were brought long after we finished main course.

For the price, should have better service. Not returning.

This is one of my favourite sushi restaurants in Montreal. Food is top quality and the service is always wonderful. The atmosphere and vibes are good. The shiitake mushrooms are amazing, don’t sleep on those. Karaage texture and crunch is spot on. The salmon tataki is good, not as amazing as the rest of the food but still really good. Takoyaki is good, could use a couple more pieces of octopus inside but still good. Chefs choice is always wonderful and a huge hit. The best part of the night are always the yuzu donuts with condensed milk sauce. Chefs kiss. Highly highly recommend this place. Make sure you make a reservation.

Everything was impeccable—from the attentive service to the beautifully presented dishes. The food was absolutely delicious, with the makis and mochis standing out as the best I’ve ever tasted. 🤌

The food was great however not comparable to what we get in Scarborough (Toronto) ...considering how overpriced it is at this restaurant. Was there for a conference and went with colleagues. It is a good atmosphere however overpriced.

Been a couple times. Ambiance is nice. Service is nice as well, but sushi is average. Fish is second tier at best.

Best sushis food ever

Best service and food ever i was just a littke loud but I guess because it’s too good

I highly recommend the maki sampler.

Absolutely incredible dining experience! Every dish we tried was bursting with flavor and expertly prepared. The karaage was a standout — perfectly crispy on the outside, tender and juicy inside, and full of rich, savory flavor.

The rainbow rolls were far from your average sushi rolls. These were exceptionally fresh and artfully crafted — a clear step above what you’d find in grocery stores or even many other Japanese restaurants.

I was especially surprised by the seaweed rolls with egg. At first glance, they might not be the most photogenic dish, but wow — they were unbelievably delicious. A perfect example of “don’t judge a book by its cover.”

We ended the meal with mochi for dessert, which had the perfect balance of chewiness and sweetness — a light and satisfying finish.

Despite the place being crowded and busy, the servers were fairly attentive. They kindly opened our bottle of wine and offered a taste before pouring, which was a nice touch and showed great hospitality.

The atmosphere was lively and had a good vibe overall, though it did get quite loud due to the number of people — something to keep in mind if you’re looking for a quiet dinner.

Highly recommend this spot to anyone looking for creative, high-quality Japanese cuisine.
Reservation is a must.

The sushi rice is terrible, no taste at all. The services are really bad. Asking two different waitress about the manu, no one had much patience to listen and explain to us. I checked the review before I went there. I think it was overrated.

Food takes forever to be served. Quality and service are alright, nothing special. Ordered 20 pieces sashimi for $90 but wasn't fresh enough compared to its price.

I have been in Kyo several times and each time I like it better. Don't miss it!
