| - Soba Sushi is located along Sherbrooke in the middle of Westmount faces nearby competition. Walking along the street, I didn't even notice the place until my friend pointed it out. Walking in, I noticed how small it was (seats around 30), but they had a huge amount of chefs working in the kitchen (around 8). This probably means that they were mainly focused on the take-out business. Our group of four were seated quickly. The menu is quite large for a small place. You got your choices of sushi, but also your traditional Chinese take-out as well. I ordered deep-fried pork chops with fried rice, vegetables, spring roll, and a Wonton soup. Food came out quickly (around 5 to 10 minutes). The Wonton soup was disappointing (too much wrapping and the meat was bland). The main course, however, was good. Fried rice was done correctly (not too oily and tasted good). The spring roll was crispy and the filling inside was ample. The vegetables were steamed (nothing noteworthy). The pork chops themselves were great (not too much batter, meat temperature was perfect, just slightly spicy). Portion wise, I thought it was perfect, but my friend could not finish half of his Pad Thai. My friend who ordered the sushi said they weren't bad. All in all, for the location and the price I paid (lack of atmosphere, okay food, good portions), this restaurant does an okay job.
