Our hotel concierge recommended Le Blossom, but warned us it might be difficult to get in. So we made a reservation and got there a little early. They seated us as quickly as they could, considering it was a crowded Saturday. We sat at the sushi bar and were promptly met by our attentive server. We ordered drinks while looking through the menu. The drinks came and we ordered. The bartender was awesome and extremely friendly. We watched the sushi chefs work their magic while we waited for our food. The first set of rolls came and were delicious. The Oshi pressed rolls were the best. As the first wave of rolls finished up, the second set arrived. All of the different sushi rolls were good. read more

Hello from the land of Freedom and Cheeseburgers (America). Wanted to stop by say this has got to be one of the nicest bars I've been to. The decorations were absolutely amazing and definetly posting these in my insta sometime soon. We were a little afraid coming in since we speak yeehaw and have no knowledge of French, but the staff knew English and they were kind enough to give us seats under the tree. As for the food and drinks, we honestly loved it! You can never really go wrong with hot sake (in my opinion) and the cocktails were really good! The one on the left as a little to sweet to my taste, but my sister loved it. As for the Shinji Sour, that was definitely my thing. They ran out of the Venom roll, so we went with the Flame and honestly was not disappointed! Some wasabi and soy sauce and it was a complete banger read more

I can say that I was expecting more for this place but this place is somewhere you go once and that's that. The decor is absolutely beautiful here and also the bar area but very small. We got seated pretty fast when we got there and we were seated at the bar area. The bar area is very nice but the only thing I would complain is the seat, because there's nothing to the hold your back so after a while it becomes uncomfortable to seat there. We got served by the bartender I guess because he was the one making the drinks, for drinks we got the mule and the sour, but they weren't anything spectacular. The menu had an option for sharing and a sushi option, so we opted to get a few different things to share. We got the Miso soup, the seaweed salad, these were both very good and fresh ingredients. We also got the fried cauliflower and this was very good aswell, probably one of my favorite things that we got When it comes to the sushi we were disappointed, the sushi wasn't anything special. We got the venom, the dragon eye and the sea paradise. Our favorite was the sea paradise. The dragon eye was nothing special but I definitely do not recommend the venom, the bonito flakes ruined the entire sushi roll because of the strong taste of the bonito. The service was pretty fast. This place is good for small groups I find although they did have 2 tables for big groups. This place is somewhere that you go once to check it out but it's definitely not the best sake bar in MTL. read more

Food is very tasty although portions are quite small. Service is quick and they have an open kitchen. If you can I would highly recommend booking the table under the cherryblossm tree, it would make for a very romantic date spot! read more

Went to this restaurant and also its time out market counter. Loved both places and had a take out order today because it was too late to reserve a table for us. I did not sample much their drinks so my review is only relavant to their food. I absolutely love their sushi and salmon tartare and would highly recommend people who like Japanese food. read more

I personally came here on an invite and I loved it! I definitely thought it was worth the hype. Chef Phong Thach is clearly passionate about his menu and chose each item with care. What an ambiance; the resto-bar already had a great vibe as of 6pm on a Wednesday night. For dinner, we were invited to sit on their brand new terrace that seats 37. We were treated to a phenomenal Japanese tasting menu, which included: duck gyoza (a must!), Mr.Krab - a fried avocado topped with creamy seafood - and Forever 21, a beautifully presented salad with crispy noodles, cabbage, daikon, and carrots. And these were only the appetizers! For our mains, we enjoyed expertly cooked quail and edamame ravioli, and a delicious assortment of sushi rolls, including Fancy as Hell, OG, Eggplant, Bubba Shrimp, and La Vie en Rose. Very impressed with the unique flavour combinations. When we were thinking, "it can't get any better than this," we were served a fried apple pie gyoza served with vanilla ice cream. Everything was delicious and delivered in flavour, texture, and presentation. read more

After seeing all the posts on Instagram, I needed to check out Le Blossom! First of all, parking was a nightmare. We were 35 minutes late to our reservation because we were circulating around to find parking but luckily they had our seats ready for us. The restaurant decor is absolutely gorgeous, the ambiance was great, music was very modern. My friend and I decided to order a bunch of plates to share. The cocktail we ordered was delicious. It took a little longer to receive our food but we didn't really mind. The plate presentation was so beautiful but if only the food tasted as good as it looked.. food was quite pricey and very average. I was really disappointed because I expected the food to be better than what it was. Theres a few sushi rolls we both didn't like at all. However the matcha desert was good. read more

I really like the glassware at this bar. It's atypical to what you usually see in other places. Their napkins are deserving of a shout out. It's super made from super thick paper that it's almost cotton like. They made a very great use of their mirrored wall. It gave the illusion that this place is much bigger than it is. I came here on opening day so it was quite busy. However, the staff was very attentive and kept following up on the wait time. There are only 5 cocktails on the menu and I tried 3 that night. I would say that most of tea based ones are compatible with my palette. The "Akira" (with chrysanthemum tea) is my favourite. It's a very light refreshing cocktail Although I kind of wished they would've shaked the cocktail instead of building it in the glass since the tea and the alcohol separated after a while. The cocktail with oolong tea is presented in the wooden box (where the wood is supposed infuse the taste of the alcohol). The concept was cool, but the box was leaking a bit. The peach based cocktail was very perfumed and didn't taste like it should be in a drink. The fried chicken is really tasty but for $9, I kind of expected for more than 3 pieces. At least give 4 so you won't have to fight with your date for the last piece. One thing that kind of annoyed me was that one of the kitchen staff had her phone placed in the middle of the cutting board. It just didn't seem very sanitary especially since they prepare raw ingredients on that board. Nonetheless I think this bar has great potential. It's on the fancier dressy side. I liked their infusion of more traditionally Japanese alcohol and mixers into their drinks. Come try out this gem before more people pack it for the night! read more

My friend and I followed the wave of hype and went to this "unique concept of a sake & handroll bar". The less than impressive review on here didn't deter us because we of course, we prefer to judge for ourselves. The place itself is beautiful. They describe it as a futuristic warm Japanese setting and it felt as such. We were sat under the tree which was perfect. Now, personnally, I came here with not-too-high expectations as I didn't want to be disappointed. However, it is disappointing that they didn't exactly surpass my expectations either. The food was ok, nothing to write home about but I'm not gonna focus on just the food because after all it's a bar...(?) For drinks, we took cocktails and the sake tasting platter. The cocktails were alright, not bad but not excellent either. The tasting platter however.... for the price I expected a little more, in quantity and in delivery. All we got was "this is the hot sake, this is the filtered and this is the unfiltered" which, quite honestly, was obvious if u just touch the cups and look LOL!!!! They should train their staff a bit more to tell us more what exactly we are tasting. This place definitely has potential. I would hate to see it sizzle away because of lack of oomph, originality and quality in service. I would recommend this place to someone who is a sake enthusiast because their sake list seems quite nice but personally I wouldn't go out of my way to come back if it stays this way. read more

Pro: -good decor -cocktails are tasty Con: -food is mediocre at best, and is overpriced for what it is -hard to get a seat Nice place to have a few drinks. Good spot for a date. Decent selection of sake. Choice is limited in terms of cocktail but they are good. Avoid getting food here. The choice is very limited. We had 6 temaki rolls, they tasted like sushi that can be purchased from a supermarket. The salmon tartar was ok, nothing special. They don't take reservations so expect to wait during evenings and weekends. I can't eat the decor so I probably won't come back to this place. There are too many choices out there that offer better food and drinks. read more

I was quite excited to try out this place since I've been seeing so many people posting pictures about their cherry blossom tree decor! The place itself is quite pretty and minimalistic, perfect for a date night. We started off with some cocktails, Ghost in the Shell, and a recommended warm sake, which were very tasty! We then ordered some fried chicken karaage, tuna and bubba shrimp sushi. The karaage was quite delicious, being flavourful, crispy yet juicy. The tuna sushi was okay, nothing amazing, however their bubba shrimp sushi was quite good, the shrimp tempura was still warm and crispy and the sauce topped with it paired well with the dish. We finished off with the matcha lava cake with ice cream, which was not heavy, not too sweet and delicious! Overall, the staff was quite friendly, service was good and the decor was very cute (Instagram photo friendly). They have a huge sake menu, and their cocktails are very tasty! The food was good, with the karaage and matcha lava cake being my favourite, but their sushi is pretty pricey for small portions (30$ for 13 pieces). Not my go to new spot, but I'd recommend this place to try for drinks and small bites! read more

"Don't believe the hype." It's obvious the venue paid for good press online upon their opening! I'll say this as nicely as I can... Do Not Waste Your Time! First off it's A LOT smaller than it looks in pictures! Second, the "No Reservations" thing creates a long and overwhelming wait! And beware if it's cold outside cause that's where you'll be waiting! The two managers looked like they were confused and disorganized as in ... they have no sort of system at all when it came to greeting and seating ppl. The cocktails were decent! Can't remember which one I had but it was cool! I also had the Salade Blossom which was small but pretty good and the Poulet Karaage which by the way the waiter forgot to put in my order as he was lost in a kitchen of 600 ppl all running into each other! Yes! I sat at the bar in front of the kitchen (which was tight and uncomfortable) and watched the confusion! Maybe over time it'll get better! 1 Star! read more

For some reason, Montreal has always hosted very innovative Asian restaurants and Le Blossom is a prime example. I had an excellent meal there early Sunday evening: fresh raw scallop roll (with crunchy tempura, no rice) to start followed by their interpretation of "Osso Bucco" for the main (using pork hock) served on a bed of cauliflower mousseline. With a fine martini (local gin) and a very tasty chilled sake (their recommendation), it was a delightful meal made all the more enjoyable by suave service. read more

Such a beautiful Japanese bar at the gay village! I was attracted at first by the lovely cherry blossom tree center piece, but turned out that the whole experience at the Blossom was great! Yes yes you read well in the reviews, it is a pricey bar and there's a lineup in the weekend, but I find it totally worth it! First we took a bottle of sake (they have over 20 varieties of imports from Japan!) called Ozeki Nigori, which was creamy and floral, really great! Then we took the Plateau temaki with 4 rolls, the salad wakame and salmon tartar, everything was tasty! We had a great time at the bar and would definitely recommend it! read more

OK, where do I begin? This restaurant is so gorgeous. It is off the Beaudry metro on the green line, and it really is a five minute walk from the station. Now if you are walking by the restaurant you may not notice it at first, because from the outside it is very simple with just a sign that says Blossom, but once you open that door and step in... my goodness! It is one of the most serene, calming, beautiful & reasonably priced restaurant. We went for dinner on a Friday night, they open at 5 PM and we were able to make reservation for 5 PM because it gets so busy later on in the night(can stay for 2hrs). Now sometimes a restaurant might look pretty and not delivered the goods, but with Blossom we were so shocked and surprised on how delicious the food was, how creative the drinks were, and how lovely the staff was. We started off with this duck gyoza...I mean how could we think that magic was going to explode from those gyozas! So delicious! We chose a few different rolls to share and kept on adding to it. We did their sushi pizza (thin, not greasy or bulky), a few traditional and non traditional rolls, we came in with an appetite and left as happy as one can be! Please visit this cute, trendy and yummy spot:) read more

This place is absolutely beautiful, they done something very interesting with the decor. All the staff was really nice and they were always near if we needed something. They refill our glass of water several time. I was really impress with the food. We loved the sushis, the karaage chicken, the tempura shrimp, our drink and especially our macha cake with ice cream desert. I'm in love with this place. read more

OVERPRICE, HORRIBLE! If anyone ever says sushi is good they don't know food. There's no taste to anything INCLUDING DRINKS. We had to put soya sauce on the pasta to get some taste. Fried chicken is just soaked with oil and not crispy. This is due to fried oil not hot enough. Lack of BASIC cooking skills. read more

The place is terrible. The food, the reception girl and the menu are awful. For a person who goes to Japan every half year, this is not Japanese food at all. It is the food that fools the locals. Eating at a real Japanese restaurant, you will never ever feel offended. read more

The sushi was good but nothing too extraordinary. The service was not that great. The old vs new menu and explanation by the waitress was incoherent and confusing. It took too long to receive the drink orders. The waitress didn't even offer us coffee with our dessert. (The place was not busy at 9:45pm on a Fri night.) The restaurant looks great in pics but isn't really functional... Steps everywhere, small circular tables, wasted space... You could tell that experienced restaurant owners did not put their money into this place. It is not a good place to go as a group. read more

This is the prime example of Instagram hype. I've seen a few pictures on social media about the Japanese blossom tree so we wanted to it. We couldn't find a menu online unfortunately. The decor is nice, very zen. However half of the seats were stools, therefore backless so it can be uncomfortable after a while. Good presentation with the plate setting. The host was nice enough to take our coats for us. And that's pretty much what was nice about the restaurant... The food was overpriced for what it was. We each took the udon soup. Literally udon noodles from packages in broth, minced carrots, shallots and tempura. I couldn't properly taste the dashi broth because the amount of scallions overpowered the taste. Then the tempura became mushy in the broth. Then we got a plate of the temakis. Good lord, the fish isn't even cut in slices. They were scraping is off the skin so it was in a mush. Nothing spectacular. But 14$ for 3 temaki rolls (one of them was cooked crab with mayo...). They presented your temakis in a sushi bar fashion: making it in front of you then putting in a plate in front of you so that you can eat it ASAP. The problem is this isn't a sushi bar, the fish isn't cut fresh so what's the point? My friends each got a cocktail, the one with plum wine. It was good but kinda weird to drink. It was a shot glass in a wooden box. The bartender overpoured the drink so that the drink overflowed the shot glass to finally be in the wooden box. Just a hype. All in all, never again. Food was mediocre. You're probably just there for the decor but I doubt it's worth paying 40$ for that. I rather walk two more blocks and go to another Asian restaurant. I actually went to the metro to grab a slice of pizza and that was more satisfying that anything I ate at Le Blossom. read more

I came here for a friend's birthday. Having previously seen the reviews, we kind of knew what to expect. We came early to avoid the line so there weren't too many people and service was relatively fast. Everything was really pretty. Food was pretty good. I had the Ghost in the Shell and it was nice and sweet. My only complaint is the price. The portions of food are small and aren't really worth the price. I think if everything was $2 cheaper I'd be more willing to return, but for now this one-time experience is enough. read more

Absolutely adore this new Restaurant! The decor is breathtaking! In the middle of the Restaurant stands a lit Cherry Blossom tree (artificial of course, but beautifully crafted) the ambiance is zen, modern and pretty. The food is awesome: I particularly enjoyed their fried chicken, special sashimi platters and kamikaze roll. read more

The lava matcha cake was amazing, the decor was beautiful. Great experience!

Overpriced, new girl kept touching her hair and touching the sushi, other tall guy was touching the sushis after using a rag that was on the counter for a while, without gloves. He was showing the new girl how to cut sushi with his dirty hands. The sushis the girl did were cut crooked, the avocado she chose to use was brown. For me not to notice it was cut uneaven, she just flipped the sushi over and squished them together. I was sitting right in front of her, I saw the whole thing. Another guy in the kitchen with curly hair ate left overs with his fingers and then continued plating orders. The food is so overpriced for the service and quality food you are getting. I do not recommend, you are better off at sushi shop. read more

Food doesn't match up with the price, the crab salad is a joke. The staffs are inhospitable.

Food is okay nothing extravagant very small portion for the price. Drinks are expensive. If youre curious you can go but its not worth going for supper. read more

Really beautiful place. Sushi was good, service was good. We didn't get cocktails but it at a beautiful atmosphere for that.

I understand that the restaurant just opened. There is definitely room for improvement. Food and drinks were okay. Service was very slow. What ruined our night was the inappropriate comments of the manager. He kept hitting on girls in a group next to our table and were definitely heard inappropriate comments that made the girls very uncomfortable. With this level or service and food, the blossom tree is not enough to make us come back. read more

First, I love the decor of this restaurant. You can tell the owners put some thoughts into the concept and it's simple, clean, yet its innovative. I am not surprised other concepts like this will arise as it is setting a trend. I was invited to This restaurant for a friends birthday. We were assigned the table with the tree: we definitely had great Photos as a results of the decor and beautiful ambiance. Our group came at 6PM. I assume our group had decided to come at 6PM because this restaurant apparently gets long waiting lines and for a good reason: the food is spectacular as well as the selection of worldly sakes. I looks up the chefs and learn their names are Viet & Nam ( undoubtedly they are Vietnamese lol ) , 2 twin brothers. They already have a sushi joint called boîte Geisha which is known for amazing sushi's. They succeeded in innovating with the menu by fusioning the Japanese cuisine and the most popular dishes. ABSOLUTE MUST TRY: the fried chicken , the creamy mushroom udon soup, the Tartars ( salmon ), the lobster and crab temaki , their matcha dessert ! ( to die for ). And try the sampler of 3 sake ! This place is among my top five restos Hands down in Montreal ! read more

If I could review with no stars I would. My bf and I were walking to my hotel and decided to stop and have a dinner. The place was packed but we were only two and had 4 seats available at bar. We asked to seat there and the hostess told us they didn't have any available seat and the waiting time was 30 min. At the time we didnt wanna wait and we left. When we walked outside we changed our mind and I walked back and said we will wait. She now told us the waiting time was an hour and half. What was the point? Discrimination because we weren't local? I thought so. I said we will wait and left my number even with her atitude. So, we left the restaurant and walked to another one. 2 min late we got a call saying they had a cancelation. Seriously? People in Montreal reserve seats at bar? I don't think so. I don't recommend this place with people doesn't treat other with respect. Thanks we found a wonderful place next door read more
