Update: I've been coming to this sushi restaurant for years and I wanted to give it another try recently. I ordered a platter for take out and all of the people who used to like Kyoto were extremely disappointed. What happened to the quality of the sushi? Too much rice Too much cucumber Too much imitation crab Under seasoned rice ... nothing was great. It was actually embarrassing to serve the sushi platter to my guest from Toronto.
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ I used to love this restaurant and I do still love it. However, I've noticed that the portion of the special futomakis(geisha, Hokkaido, ..etc) got much smaller than before :( Slightly bigger than hosomaki. I thought I was the only one, but my other friends experienced the same thing recently(regular customers). We're all a bit disappointed unfortunately. The beauty of this restaurant was good quality and reasonable price for the size of the portions, but not anymore. Still this restaurant serves you the best quality. I love the grilled eel!! It is the best in town. I really miss dining out in this restaurant and ordering fresh Otoro and uni. Hopefully all their special menus will...
Ā Ā Ā Read moreThe restaurant was kind enough to resolve our issue which is truly appreciated because we love the food there and other sushi places weāve tried are far below this one. So changing my review! Holidays are always hectic and one bad service experience will not deter us in coming back to this place, best sushi in MTL.
Weāve been regular clients for over a year and are coming all the way from West Island to get sushis at this restaurant. Tonight when arriving to pick up our order we were told it wasnāt confirmed « on their endĀ Ā» and wouldnāt be ready for another 1h30. My husband showed the confirmation email with the pick up time we had received (he was actually 10 min late to pick up the food) but it didnāt change anything. Nothing was proposed to make up for this. Really disappointed of this customer service, we canāt wait an extra 1h30 for no reason. And since we have to drive 45 min to get these sushis I guess we wonāt order there anymore, not knowing if our order is confirmed « on their endĀ Ā»ā¦.. This was supposed to be our treat for our last meal with family visiting from far away, disappointment is at an...
Ā Ā Ā Read moreA cute little sushi shop featuring an amazing miso soup (no tofu though), great tempura (pumpkin!) and delicious sushi. I'll first say that this may be my favourite sushi in Montreal so far.... But I have nitpicks. The maki had incredible sauces but often weren't fully closed (open algea). The sashimi was tasty but 3 times too thick and generally big (see picture). The nigiri had a nice kick to it but this means it has too much wasabi for some (not me but my date ended up avoiding them because of it). A running theme seems to be "unmatched taste but poorly assembled" as every piece would crumble and fall apart upon being picked up. Great sake by the way and an appreciated detail is that everything was brought quickly and exactly at the right temperature (hot sake but not boiling, hot tempura but not burning, etc.). Highly recommended but expect to...
