Been meaning to try this place out for sushi for a while now and I was pretty satisfied. You order by using their takeout menu (it's the same menu) and highlighting the sushi you want (this is great because you can take the menu to go after you eat so when you will want to order you already have a menu, also you can use the menu to re-order when you visit again).
This place has very limited seating but that's because it doubles as a mini grocery store with tons of japanese food, snacks, drinks, etc. It's a super adorable place though and it is worth trying to eat in if you can.
They start you off with a little salad and a tofu miso soup which are both delicious. We waited about 15 more minutes after for our sushi to arrive. You can also grab whichever drink you want from their fridge and they'll add it to your bill.

However, the price was decent (I'd say about a third cheaper than your average competitors' boxes) and the chopsticks provided were awesome (not the cheap square splinter ones that many other places provide). We still won't go back though. Simply...
Read moreBest place for affordable and good quality sushi basics in the Plateau. The store has lots of Asian ingredients and snacks (Gluten-free Panko, Glico Japanese curry cubes, etc.). They are a little pricier, but given there are no other Asian markets nearby it is not unreasonable.
As with any affordable sushi place, stick with the basics (avocado, california rolls, salmon). Their avocado rolls and salmon avocado rolls are one of the best. Be smart and order at the counter so you get fresh sushi: refrigerated sushi isn't the best anywhere you go. Not to mention, any affordable sushi restaurant won't have the best tuna because Montreal is not a...
