| - Two vegan travelers, having visited MANY times to Montreal (at least once per year for the past 17 years) agree: YOU CANNOT MISS SUSHI MOMO!!!!
Went here on a Sunday at about 4:00. We did not have reservations, but were able to get a table. The space is nothing too special, nice to see the stone walls of the basement exposed, but they seem to make the best use of a small space.
We ordered six "rolls" and two of the special entrees - one was also a roll, and one was the poutine.
I am not going to describe each roll or even recommend one over the other. It would be impossible! All of the flavors are unique and just beyond words. I don't remember having anything similar, even when I wasn't vegan. Even the poutine was nothing like what we expected. Whether you like sushi or not, I would argue it is worth trying as it is truly a unique culinary experience.
So, why a four star instead of five? Although the rolls came out really fast, within about 10 mins, they forgot to put in the order for the specials and had to be reminded. Also the server came off a bit unfriendly, and they would not make change for the parking meter. Lastly, and perhaps the most odd - you cannot buy red wine by the glass! Yep, read it again, even though they have plenty of red wine, a full bar, and you can get white wine by the glass- not red wine. I can understand that perhaps red wine is not the best pairing for sushi (and I am not sure this is even the reason or if they just want to push selling bottles), however some people do prefer to drink red wine. To not even have one red wine by the glass just doesn't make sense to me.
