Review from Dane R.
Montréal, QC
Furusato is simple, well-done, authentic Japanese food (which is what my Japanese language school told me as well about this place). Don't expect any fancy presentation à la "Jun I" or other high end Japanese restaurants, but expect quality ingredients full of flavor, prepared expertly. The beef teriyaki, as pedestrian as it sounds, is superb - just the right balance between sweet and savory, full of beefy goodness, and perfectly cooked - Japanese comfort food really, and the teriyaki sauce is definitely not from a jar. The Japanese salad with seaweed and octopus is a great small dish to start with, and the Yuzu mixed with rice vinegar and soy sauce was a fantastic dressing I was even tempted to drink (thank god I had plenty of sake instead). The Yellowfin collar was perfectly cooked and something you won't find elsewhere. We also had eggplant in a nice tangy broth, and an array of some of the best sushi I've had in Montreal, included the tuna hand roll, and the melt in your mouth unagi and ikura. The service is efficient and very friendly, and this more than makes up for the slightly depressing, dilapidated interior. They should move the dish washing station away from the sushi bar, move the fridge to the kitchen, and have the sushi bar be more of a centerpiece. Still, other than Kazu (which reigns supreme), this is the best place for authentic Japanese I've found in Montreal. Itadakimasu - bon appetit!

I did not enjoy this sushi restaurant. At first we came without a reservation, when they sent us away. I started to make a call to another restaurant, when I was about to leave they came running after us saying there was space now...
We set down and ordered an appetizer, which took 10 minutes for my salad and 25 minutes for my friends soup. Then came our sushi order where they forgot 3 sushi orders. We had to tell them 3 times before we got the other sushi.
Prices are very good, the quality isn't the best thing ever, but in the end we had a good meal. The restaurant is really small less the 20 tables - 2people/table. -

Quality of seafood deserves 7 starts.
I tried raw scallop (sashimi), so delicious.
Service is great.
The kitchen closes rather early (9pm? 930pm), but the service is still great.
The rare Japanese restaurant, run by Japanese, and most of people there (including customers) communicate in Japanese.

A small neighborhood Japanese "bistro" if you can even say that :)
I was taken there by a local friend who lives nearby and she swore it is one of the best Japanese places around. boy was she right!
The place itself is very casual looking, more like a friendly neighborhood coffee shop and not like a sushi-bar. don't expect anything fancy or even close to the average modern sushi place.
The menu is very basic Japanese food, nothing special here. what was special was the quality. we had Agadashi Tofu that was really good and hearty, then we had a sushi and sashimi combo with some excellent ahi tuna, fatty salmon, scallop, shrimp and yellow tail selections. super fresh and melts in your mouth. green tea is of course on the house throughout the meal.
bottom line: expected nothing, and got surprised. for it's style it's definitely a place worth going to. -
