    Lovely (albeit pricy) sushi. Service is quick, and I like that they are happy to let you have it 'to-go'. Free tea while you wait. Great handrolled cones, and the right amount of wasabi per piece.

    A friend I was with really wanted some sushi for dinner so we decided to try this place out.  We both ordered a couple of rolls.

    The rolls were okay and tasty, but I would have expected more from a place that boasts such inventive flavor combinations.  I think some of this was that when I normally order a specialty roll somewhere its bigger, but the special rolls were still tiny little rolls, just like any other simple standard roll you might order.

    The service was decent. This place would be good if you're in the area and you need a quick fix, but I wouldn't seek this place out for a good sushi experience.

    This was by far the worst experience I've had in a while.

    Not only does Tatami boast inventive sushi with a tropical atmosphere, they have a seemingly reliable location in the Old Port of Montreal. What could go wrong?

    First of all, I'm sure that the sushi chef measures his rolls with a toonie. The rolls are small, mushy and they fall apart upon first contact with chop sticks. When you order, be prepared to get half of your meal. Only when I received my 8 out of 16 pieces was I told that they have run out of such things as avocado and scallop. I had to ask to order something else when the waitress looked at me with a blank stare.

    This brings me to service. You know that charming man with the squeegee  as you get off the Ville Marie? He beats these people ten fold in the service department. Having to ask for a menu, a glass of water and then to order more sushi because I wasn't told in advance that they have run out of "fundamentals" is unacceptable and lazy service. Then, to add insult to injury,  the bill took over 20 minutes to settle.

    And you know those "salt water tanks" tables? They are fishless and assume all of the legroom leaving diners to sit sideways.

    Sometimes, I can forget about terrible service when I'm saturated in a perfect meal- in this case, I'm trying to forget about the whole thing.

    Go somewhere else to spend a fortune. This isn't worth it.

    Some of the best sushi I have every found anywhere, but definitely Montreal.

    The sushi is inventive with a great variety of interesting rolls.  One of the best parts of the restaurant experience is the plate presentation.  The restaurant uses a lot of cut flowers, herbs and fruit/vegetables to make each entree special.  I'm always interested in seeing the presentation when I go.  

    The restaurant is very accessible to Old Montreal and is on Place d'Armes and on the same block as Notre Dame Cathedral so it's hard to miss.  

    One of the coolest things is the that most of the tables are aquariums with tropical salt water fish in them.... so you are eating directly on a piece of glass on top of the aquarium.  

    If you're touring Old Montreal and have a sushi craving, you won't be disappointed in this place!

    The sushi here is pedestrian. Really basic stuff. Tempura seems to be their gimmick.
