Review from John Paul T.
Montréal, QC

It is what it is: all-you-can-eat sushi in downtown Montreal. I mean if you're from Vancouver you'll probably think its like the worst sushi experience ever but for us Eastern Canadians who just like to gorge ourselves with spicy salmon rolls it does the trick. My boyfriend and I love sushi--we're regular sushi whores--so we absolutely love AYCE just because we can order as much as we want! Our order is usually the same: two miso soups, a green salad, chicken teriyaki, 20 or so salmon roses, 3 orders of spicy salmon, a Philadelphia roll, maybe a Dynamite (if the tempura is fresh), vegetable tempura, and green tea ice cream to top it all off. We've got it down to a science--even memorizing the menu item numbers you write down on those little pieces of paper! But its definitely not the best. I would stick to the rolls here if I were you, they're dependable. I've had the actual sushi and its not bad but the quality of the fish is definitely not grade-A. The service is better here at Sushi Crescent versus Tokyo Sushi--further along Ste-Catherine towards Concordia--where it is absolutely terrible! Terrible! Here it is marginally better, but again pretty bad. You have to be very forceful, hand them you're order directly (don't wait for them to come to take it). They might try and stick you with stuff you didn't order but tell them right away you actually didn't and they'll take it back. I have a theory, they want you to pay extra for uneaten sushi! Evil they are I tell you, ha!
The location is pretty nice actually. I seem to remember that it used to be a bar or lounge and the new owners have kept much of the same interior but added a sushi-prep area both upstairs and down. You might have to wait on weekends as it does fill up fast. Also, they jacked up the price recently. Which was a real piss off. It used to be $15 each and now its like $21 after taxes but before tip. Which is quickly approaching unaffordable territory if you don't order very much. -

This place is a no-go for me. It is two floors and crazy busy due to the all-you-can-eat menu. They do have a-la-carte by the way, but you have to ask for it.
I was on my own when I went there, and a couple who came in afterwards was seated first. I should have left then, but was hungry and on the hook to bring sushi home.
The service was slow and the food was not bad but not great either. Every time I caught the waiter's attention, it felt like he was doing me a favor by coming over.
There are so many good places to go in downtown Montreal. This is not one of them. -

I went to Crescent Sushi along with a bunch of friends to celebrate one of my dear friend's B'Day and I must say that my culinary experience was fairly good. It seemed to be a busy Sunday afternoon but we were promptly shown a table for 6 upstairs. The food here is quite tasty and the prices are fairly inexpensive.
We ordered an all you can eat buffet, also referred to as their Lunch special for $15 each and by the end of it the girls were talking about skipping dinner and burning extra calories (not me of-course)
They do have a really good non-sushi selection but I have had better sushi in the city. I do recommend to try out their spicy Salmon and Tempura. -

Not a bad place, it's fairly inexpensive with the "all you can eat" to order formula. However, the Sushi selection is meager (especially if you like raw fish) and the fish is obviously frozen.
I know that for $15 I should not have expected a lot, however, I had much better experiences in similar places in California and in Las Vegas.
If what you are into is more cooked standard japanese fare (miso soup, edamame, teriyaki, tempura...) and a bit of Sushi, then you'll like it quite a bit. However, if you are a sushi gourmet, there are better places around.
Service was quick and attentive enough for that kind of place. The restaurant itself is nice. -
Review from Seb L.

This is by far my favorite all you can eat sushi in Montreal.
The restaurant is modern and cozy. The service is always fast and the place always seems busy. There is a large sushi selection and lots of non-sushi selections as well. The sushi has been fresh and tasty every time I've gone. If you're looking for an elegant, fast, delicious all you can eat sushi restaurant, look no further. My friends and I have always left here very satisfied.
