I was discussing with a friend of mine about good and affordable sushi restaurants. He sent me a link to an article from LaPresse regarding this place... I had to try.
As some have noted the service can be a little slow and disorganised. Seems like anything coming out of the kitchen might be a bit slow to get which seems to make some patrons impatient.
The sushi preparation was truly superb. If you have a chance to sit at the bar, you will see true Itamae at work. These are not your average sushi chefs but actual master chefs... not to be confused with what you see in 99% of Montreal's restaurant (other than my beloved Juni).
As I was with a few friends, we all decided to taste different items. I decided to try the Chirashi (as mentioned in the article) and I have to say was not disappointing. My mind was blown by how beautiful and tasty the fish was.
This restaurant isn't the flashy type we've come to see in the city. The plates aren't covered in mayo (if any) , It's very humble and very close to what I remember seeing many times in Japan (+1 authenticity). But if you're planning on going there for a romantic evening and want a trendy place to impress your date, I would not go here. It can get noisy and the service can really be slow (-1).
I got to taste the curry rice and tonkatsu and both tasted exactly like what I've tasted in Japan.
Conclusion:
I fell in love with the food here. But if you're looking for a trendy place to go this isn't it.
