| - I passed this cool-looking restaurant many times during my many visits to Montreal and, for years, I thought this corner building with the round, shell-like exterior with the windows facing the street was the neatest building EVER. Recently, though, I decided to finally go in. (It now is a sushi place).
I decided to take out a platter of sushi for my dinner. Looking through the menu, I was blown away by all the choices. It's a HUGE menu: soups, salad, apps, teriyaki, rice and noodle dishs, bento box meals, "traditional" Chinese dishes (eg, General Tao chicken, orange beef, etc.), tons of sushi and sashimi rolls, platters (great catering idea!), tempura.... I could go on and on. I've rarely seen such a vast menu. They also have all you can eat (wow, my kids and husband would think they died and went to heaven!). And not only can you dine in or take out, but I saw on their menu that they also deliver. Neat!
This place is affiliated with four other sushi restaurants in Montreal (another one on St. Catherine St.W., one on Crescent St., one on Rue St. Denis, and one on St. Jean Blvd in Pointe Claire).
I ordered the "T2" platter, and waited about 10 minutes for them to prepare it. Watching the sushi chefs make my meal in the back (open prep space behind the rear counter), I could see that the food was fresh and the cooks maintained a clean work space). I checked the restaurant interior; it was contemporary, with cool lighting colors, cascading water sculptures, and the curvilinear window wall facing the street. I'd have loved to have dined inside, if I had had the time.
The ladies who helped me order and who rang me up were super nice. I had asked if I could get the kamikaze sushi without the spicy sauce on top and they were happy to oblige. My platter was ready soon enough, and when I had it for dinner later that night (and for lunch the next day, too), it was delicious! Great place. I plan on going again next summer when I next visit!
