We went as a group of ten for a friend's birthday and even with a bigger group, the service was insanely quick. It was almost like they had a machine in the back making all of the food because for such a large quantity to make, it was served within minutes. The food itself was SO good- I think we ordered 3 or 4 rounds of it. (I don't think many of us will be able to move easily this morning). There was nothing I tried that I didn't like. From the assortment of sushi and calamari to the general tso chicken and other meat and shrimp, noodle and vegetable dishes- we were one happy bunch. The waiter was so kind and handled our group as though it was no sweat. Even when a wine glass was accidentally broken, he didn't make us feel bad about it at all. I would definitely come back but it may not be for some time- I think we outdid ourselves. I highly recommend it though!

I wanted it for take out as it was snowing but they have tons of seats and very cosy and comfortable. The lady is so nice. It's a family owned business and she's so sweet. I asked her for her recommendations as it's my first time here. She asked me some few questions if I prefer seafood or chicken? I finally chose the Vancouver Maki and it was delicious. It's really affordable for the quality and amount of sushi you get. I had 8 mini rolls and they were filling. The man makes the sushi right on the spot and asked if I wanted wasabi. It was my first time here, not my last for sure. I'd keep going back for new plates and definitely would recommend it to all as they're amazing! - :)

In a World of 'Service Sushi', Sushi Star competes both by being a friendly Mom & Pop store that…read moremakes good sushi and by mixing it up by adding unexpected items in their sushi lunches. My experience was quite rewarding, firstly by the enthusiastic waving that beckoned me in after peering through the door to see if they were open. I was heartily welcomed, then was shown the choice of items that I could order. TBH, I was hoping to grab a ready-made box but as Mom created my lunch we chatted about everything and nothing so that the few minutes I spent there passed quickly. My lunch was great, and the human interaction made it a meal to remember with a smile.

The decor and most of the staff and menu items have remained the same, though prices have increased (obviously) and there is no longer sashimi for lunch sadly. The food is pretty much on par with other ayce sushi places, though their presentation can be a bit nicer. I particularly like their eggplant sushi pizza, which is essentially a tempura eggplant with avocado and spicy salmon on top , with a flourish of microgreens for glamour. They have a few things that other places don't, such a hot and sour soup. Service is pretty good and the speed at which dishes come is pretty rapid. The ordering is now done all online, with your phone after scanning a QR code. The dining room is also quite spacious and they can accommodate small children if needed, and parking is ample. Overall a good experience but I think I'll stick to the places that do sashimi for lunch for a similar price.

Once my order was taken, food came out not too long after. I got the katsudon as it's a classic dish. It was hard to choose what to get since it all looks really good. The Katsu was crispy and moist and it was laid on top of a bowl of egg and rice. Taste wise, it didn't wow me but the textures were great. I think the sauce could've been more flavorful for how much they put in the bowl. This is a great spot for lunch and would recommend if you're craving some Katsu.

First time dining in at Nozy -- had takeout of the uni (sea urchin) don previously some years ago…read more(which was quite good). Came here with a friend, and we both ordered kaisen don and shared an okonomiyaki pancake appetizer and a hot sake. The okonomiyaki was delicious -- it had been sliced into pieces and then deep fried, which is a nice twist; topped with bonito and served with some kind of spicy mayo sauce. Kaisen don was excellent -- looks smallish but was quite filling in fact, thanks to the nice bed of subtly seasoned rice underneath the mini-mountain of various sashimi, which tasted fresh and was well-presented. There was also a piece of uni on it, which I enjoyed immensely. Sake was pretty good too, a warm alternative for winter. Service was attentive but not intrusive. Love the down-to-earth atmosphere of the place, it really feels like a neighbourhood favourite. We had come early-ish for our reservation, and by the time we left, the resto was full -- a good sign. Only gripe was that the paper menu was a couple of bucks more expensive than what is posted online on the resto's website -- and only for some items, not all of them. But given the issue of inflation recently, it's understandable that restaurants can also barely keep up with rising prices for ingredients too. Overall, a tasty experience -- both my friend and I plan to come back.

Hey everyone!! Yes!! We are seeing the light at the…read moretunnel!!! MTL slowly opens up and we can finally dine in at our local restaurant! Here's the one of the firsts that my wife and I decided to go back! Service wise, they have only one waiter in front and he has to go into the kitchen to help from times to times, so it's not too notch service but still enjoyable and hear me out. We are all coming out slowly from a pandemic over a year. We are lucky that some business survive. It will take times for everyone to recover, so give it times, I'm sure they will get better! Food wise This is not a typical Japanese restaurant. So you'll be surprised. I ordered beef sando (beef sandwich) its not the one that I was expected so I was a bit disappointed until I have my first bite... The beef is actually very soft and tasty. I do wish the buns were hot/toasted but hey its still good nonetheless. Then I ordered the chef 5 choices as my main course... Why? I just don't know what to order, the best is to order this set menu so I can try a little bit of everything Hehe. It packed with fried chicken, pita chips with egg plan dip, takoyaki, salade and sashimi rice bowl (aka poke bowl). Everything is good and fresh... Unfortunately the rice was a little too warm for my taste. Price is acceptable, mind you this restaurant is known to have fresh fish and seafood, so really you pay for what you get and you won't be disappointed as an overall experience. If you haven't been there before, go ahead and try! If you have been there before... Well I'm pretty sure you're reading this to plan your next meal, right? :) Enjoy!

Their price is about $20 for the evening menu so go figure :p I ordered the deep fried dragon roll and it was pretty good. Mini sushi pizza was decent as well. But sadly the kamikaze roll had mushy rice and the tempura crunch was soggy as well. The spicy salmon was also mushy in texture. The salmon sashimi is cut in large flat slices and rolled up to look like a rose. It was decent. I think that the overall quality of a sushi resto can be assessed by the freshness of their sashimi. They have a few items on the order sheet that cost extra like the fried bananas, apples, ice cream desserts. Overall, it was just ok for me. I'd rather go higher end and order à la carte.

The rice was over cooked and mushy, ugh. The tempura was on, and the items seemed fresh. The rice being mushy ruined the sushi. I'm not sure if I'd go back. I may give it a second chance but in the dining room instead of takeout. As is, I would not recommend unless every other place in town is closed.

This downtown Montreal restaurant is chic, lounge music piped through to complete their "chicness". They were busy that Friday, with most table and sushi bar seating filled. (Speaking of bars, I had a glass of white, and tried a tasty lycheetini.) The highlight of Sho-dan's arsenal is their assortment of specialty "concept" rolls which can be extreme in presentation, and atypical in taste, even to the most seasoned sushi ranger. My friends are Japanese restaurant enthusiasts and loved the quality of cuisine, from the tempura, to the slices of raw goodness, down to the perfectly matching sauces for each dish. Don't forget to get dessert sushi - the mango one is amazing. Dinner at Sho-dan blew my MIND. Be warned, prices are higher than average, but it's worth splurging for, just this once. (Credit cards accepted.)

Why can't we have sushi this good in Ottawa?…read more I almost NEVER go out for sushi in Ottawa because, like most of the Chinese food, it fucking sucks here. As someone who lived on the West Coast for 10 years, I cannot and WILL NOT give anyone 5 stars for their sushi unless it was just caught that day. Sho-Dan was VERY close to achieving the impossible - a 5 star sushi in landlocked Eastern Ontario. This place was fantastic service, high high quality fish, superb rolls, perfectly timed delivery to the bar where we sat.... Delicious cold sake and beer to accompany. I think the bill came out to $160 for the 2 of us (I didn't pay) but we left very full and content. Unfortunately, I cannot remember what we ordered (was a boozy night afterwards)....but 100% certain that I will recommend and be back.
