Sushi at a beginner level. Location is good. But you leave disappointed. It's just not great. I used to be better.
But it's just gone BYOW!!!! (bring your own wine). -

Place was hopping. Service was fairly week. Food was more inspiring than delicious.
We started with seared scallops with mango. It was tasty, but definitely fell short - the mango was chopped so finely that it was hard to get a hold of especially with the fairly large scallops. Oh yeah, and it was only 2 scallops.
Then we had a couple of rolls - one had cooked salmon that had a nice splash of lemon, with avocado, & cuke. I really liked how the lemon came through and finished the flavor of the roll even with the addition of soy and wasabi. This was definitely the highlight of the meal.
We also had what was basically lobster salad (with mayo, yep - go figure) tossed with some fresh strawberries and fresh mango, then served on half of an avocado. Presentation was beautiful, lobster was pretty abundant, and the idea was good. The flavors just didn't really all come together - the strawberries and mango almost competed with the lobster. -

I can not get enough of their Sushi! Every time I go to Montreal I have to go here. The food is fabulous and the service is friendly and accommodating. Management seems to stack themselves with attractive servers and extremely fresh seafood.
I make sure I go here at least once every time I head up to Montreal. I'll be back, and I recommend you go too. They have beautiful open-aired windows along the bustling Mont Royal Avenue and the restaurant is always full. Young crowd that goes here too. Decor is very sharp, like a modern day Americanized Japanese Restaurant. -

In short, their service was great, but their sushi ... not so much.
We have heard that Montreal, a foodie's haven, isn't known for their sushi scene, or any other Asian food for that matter. But we thought to give it a try at this sushi joint on Mt. Royal. For starters we picked shrimp tempura and ebi shumai (yes, we love shrimp that much.) The tempura came out right away, tasted fresh and crunchy as they should. The ebi shumai was so so, a little too sticky for my taste, but okay.
Then came the sushi: hamachi, saba, sake --the wild sockeye variety that is, and a roll. This is where everything goes downhill, real fast. The hamachi was warm and tasteless. The saba wasn't bad as it was the only one with flavor, it certainly held the rest of the spread together. But the sockeye salmon was not acceptable. We were expecting a slice of nature's best: deep orange color, rich buttery texture, and taste like wild salmon should. But what we got was a previously frozen soggy mesh served as sushi grade sockeye salmon. It was flavorless and the texture reminded me of a waterlogged sponge. We're still trying to get the memory out of our head. As for the roll, well ... at least this one didn't give us a nightmare, as it was the least memorable of them all.
Will we come back? May be, but not for the sushi. They may be stocking themselves with servers who look like models, but I doubt that will fix their sushi quality.
