    Food and service were amazing. The only downside was that we sat outside to start, only to be swarmed by a bunch of bees when the food came out. Regardless, would go back for sure. The sushi combo I had was delicious, along with the glass of Sake.

    Server inattentive-never once asked how good was took forever to ask if we wanted anything else and to get bill Food proportions very small considering price. Easily go to any sushi place and have just as good food but bigger portions. Certainly not worthy of top tier status

    We went twice while in Montreal, it was that good. Right near the Cathedral (heart of the tourist center of Old Montreal) but unlike all other restaurants around there, we did not feel it was over-priced. Got the Chef's choice sashimi both visits - amazing! Second visit added the chef's choice sushi (we had 6 diners) and we also shared the Udon noodles - spicy and delicious!

    I went for lunch with a friend and my baby. Staff was super accommodating and offered a nice table near the back. We shared edamame, wine, sushi and desert. The sushi and desert were outstanding. Edamame was ok but simply seasoned and slightly undercooked to my taste. We had mostly maki sushi that had a unique mix of flavours and was very fresh. The doughnuts were also fantastic as a desert. Service was a little slow and clumsy at times but I think we fell on someone new, the other waiters seemed more seasoned and efficient.
