    Ordered the seafood platter and added the extra sushi that wasnt included,best decision ever made. It was my favorite sushi i have ever tasted and the tuna maki was exquisite! Treat yourself to some of the best catch in town!

    Great experience. Loved the pace of the tasting menu, which was a lot more than 6 courses with a big surprise at the end. I left stuffed. Ambience was really nice. Service great. I really appreciated all the unique flavour combos and wine suggestions. The best was the duck and the truffle ice cream. Really nice spot for dinner.

    We went for brunch on a Sunday morning. Surprisingly cheap and generous for the quality of the food. Service was above and beyond good, if a little slow to get the check. My only (and small) complaint: 7$ for a regular green tea and 5$ for a regular coffee that were, while tasty, still pretty regular. Felt a bit steep, but I guess it makes up for the rest!

    Oddly enough, our waitress kept insulting upper management and the restaurant itself throughout our entire dinner. Also, do not order the seafood platter as most items were inedible.

    The decor is to die for. Lovely place lovely aesthetic. The sashimi are so fresh and they melt in your mouth!! The ceviche and maki yama too. It was delicious. On the other hand, I was expecting better from the burrata but it is okay as it is not their specialty. I was given free caviar for my vibe and for being sweet. I was so happy. Cocktails are so good especially the ones with texture! Definitely coming back. The staff is very nice. And although it was a quiet night their was a little ambiance and music.

    A bit disappointing. While the food was ok, it was definitely less Asian and more traditional than expected. Service was rather good and friendly but the food didn't match. Glad we tried it but wouldn't go out of my way to go back.

    We ate there twice. The first evening, we arrived at around 8:45pm and were only served at around 11pm which was unacceptable. The second evening, we decided to give the restaurant a second chance and go earlier but there were some major issues with music and volume so a few times during the dinner we thought we were going to go deaf… not the most pleasant for a fancy evening/dinner. The waiter than blamed the hotel which was also a little awkward.

    Seated for over an hour and fifteen minutes before the first appetizers arrived. We were told the chef was busy with a large order before us… food was ok when it finally arrived but I would not go back. Better Japanese restaurants in Montreal with better service.

    The food was very good, but the service wasn't great. It took 1h30 mins to get our food. While our server was very nice, there seemed to be a significant lack of organization among the kitchen and wait staff.

    it took 30mins before we got served water.. they got our drink orders mixed up the appetizers were barely decent at best. the quality of the fish in the sashimi plate does not compare to restaurant park or hidden fish. the waiters were extremely confused, slow and acting bizarrely. i’m quite sure our main waiter was on heavy drugs. besides that, the aesthetic of the restaurant is stunning, minimalist luxury.

    Honestly, the food is very good! But the service is the worst I've had in my life! We waited more than an hour and a half for them to bring the tickets, and they had not even brought bread during that hour and a half! They brought the bread and they didn't bring plates, we finished the bread and they brought the plate when there was nothing to eat anymore! the orders did not come complete!! They did not pick up the empty glasses, they did not clean the table between one service and another! not to mention the time to ask for the account !! It is the second time that I go to the restaurant both times the waiting time has been more than an hour !!! complete chaos,

    The food was very good the waitress was amazing. The food took very long to come out and as a apology they offered us all the desserts on the house. Very classy. Would definitely dine there again. It’s a new restaurant so it is normal to have some kinks. The way they handled it was commendable.
