Quaint Japanese restaurant about 350m from the Bell Centre. It’s located on the 2nd floor at the intersection of Stanley and Cypress so there are some stairs to climb. It’s right next to the Italian restaurant and the signage isn’t as obvious so you might miss it. Had the Bento du jour, which was quite generous in its servings. The fried tofu was pretty good, and the teriyaki salmon was a good serving served on a bed of rice. It came with 3 pieces of sushi and 4 California rolls that were very good. I enjoyed the small spring roll it came with as it was a different flavour to the fish pieces. The tempura was nice and light and the skewer of teriyaki chicken was very flavourful. Not shown in the picture but also included was a bowl of miso soup, salad and a dessert that included a scoop of green tea ice cream and a cup of hot green tea. Pretty good value bento box! Super friendly older lady was serving everyone and I was surprised they weren’t busier. I wasn’t sure how big the bento box would be so ordered a spicy salmon roll and 2 pieces of spicy tuna, both were great!

Service is always pleasant. However I have been a loyal customer for many years and regrettably the quality of the fish has declined. I don’t think I would go back. The owner is an OG, but sadly the restaurant is no longer a competitor for great sushi/sashimi in Montreal.

Sashimi and sushi combo $33, sashimi is ridiculously small, like leftovers. Not worth visiting.

Amazing family owned restaurant! Food is all made by an older woman who I assume is the mother, and it was all very delicious. It’s clear that it is good quality and authentic. Truly had a very good experience here

My cousin introduced me to this gem years ago; therefore not my first time here; Noriko Ishii-san is extremely meticulous in her food crafting and is incredibly friendly. She wants to know about people, their love for Japan, and ultimately serve them great food. For a culture rich experience, and good food, this is the best place in town.

Extremely disappointed with this 50 year old Japanese restaurant. First of all the prices are ridiculously high for what you get. The quality of the food was poor, the sashimi was not good quality, the bluefin tuna was Sea Delight tuna or similar, a quality that is not suitable for sashimi. The size of the pieces of sashimi were ridiculous, about 10g and less!!! The edamame were served ice cold, almost still frozen (normally they are steamed and served hot in Japanese restaurants). I had to ask the waiter to wash the table, it was all sticky with food when we arrived. My wife and I had a very bad stomach after, probably the poor quality of the sashimi !!! Do not go there !!!

I was extremely disappointed by this Japanese restaurant. First of all, the prices are ridiculously high for what you get. The quality of the food was poor — the sashimi wasn’t fresh, and I don’t even understand how they can justify charging such a high price for sashimi that’s not even comparable to the quality of an all-you-can-eat place. The rice was dry and unappetizing. The service was just as bad, with staff being inattentive and unresponsive to customer needs. Overall, it’s not worth the price, and there’s absolutely no reason to come back. Save your money and go somewhere else!
Loved every single thing I ate there from the tasty miso soup to the incredible sushis. You can feel the thoughtfulness and quality in every single dish. The portion sizing was perfect for me. I took the combo of sushi makis and I found that the price was very reasonable for what I was getting which was quality and tasty food that didn't leave you feeling heavy or lethargic afterwards.
Waiting time for our food didn't take long and as one dish was done, the other dish was coming in so I'd say the service was super smooth and it definitely helped with the overall pleasant restaurant experience. I'd definitely come back here, super happy to have found this gem of a place!
