Lurking behind an unassuming exterior and an incongruous kitschy diner-like interior lies one of Montreal's best sushi restaurant. I had wandered by it numerous times thinking it was just another generic sushi take-out joint that now litter the city before finally inspecting it closer. I noted the packed crowds inside and the glowing write-ups on the door and thought it must be one of those hidden gems that only people in the neighborhood know about. Turns out I was wrong. Montreal sushi aficionados know Tri's work (Tri is the name of the sushi master chef) from two high end places he worked at before opening his own place. Considering the cramped and unglamorous interior, the place is not cheap (it probably rivals more expensive sushi restaurants in Montreal like Shodan or Maiko and a very basic dinner for two with the simplest combination plate will run about $70) but the sushi is better than any I had in the city. The fish is incredibly fresh, the presentation is beautiful, and the combination of flavors and textures are truly impressive. It's my new favorite sushi place in town.
