| - Last Saturday night, after a bad experience at TORO-TORO tapas place in the Old Montreal, we grabbed a cab and went to Saint Sushi based on the reviews from Yelp. This is not your usual sushi place. It was packed with a younger crowd, and there was a 5 to 10 min wait because we had no reservations.
I have to say the sushi tasting "secret menu" was just great! IT is a family run business, and the sushi makers are an international bunch, but there was at least one Japanese individual from what I could tell. I usually avoid sushi and sashimi bars if I see anybody but Japanese behind the bar. In my experience the Japanese sushi makers have a particular feel for the quality and freshness of the fish, I guess it is because they grow with it.
The sushi sample was outstanding. We also ordered sashimi, and it was good and fresh.
The place is not expensive, but they need to explain the prices more clearly. We were charged 19.95 per person, which is fine, as our usual trips to sushi/sashimi bars is always over 50 dollars per person, but the waitress was talking about a $22 sampler. Maybe they need to talk to each other more, because we were served by three different people.
This place is new and does not have an alcohol license, so we had to stop by another bar to have some sake, otherwise the experience is not complete ))))
