After searching up the best Japanese/sushi restaurant in Montreal (and since Kazu was closed) Bistro Japonais Furusato came up. Seeing so many good reviews on Yelp, I was excited to try it for dinner since me and my boyfriend were visiting from Toronto.
Boy do I wished we just stopped by any other AYCE sushi places around our hotel.
For $30, we got the 19 piece sushi and sashimi. After a half an hour wait (with only 4 other customers in the restaurant) the dish that came out was something you can get for half that price in Toronto with better quality.
Honestly, this place was such a disappointment. Everything else was up to par; the ambiance was nice and there's even a corner with Japanese magazines you can browse while waiting for your food (expect to be). The servers were authentic Japanese and we're really nice as well. They weren't as attentive as I would like them to be, but that's okay.
The food not only took long, but was about AYCE quality except much more expensive. I don't understand why it has so many 5 star reviews; I've experienced much better places in Toronto. I was expected to see aburi but was also disappointed.
The price range is also more of $$$ than $$. Just letting you guys know.
