Clever and tasty creations. I really liked the Madonna roll. And the unagi was textbook. Glad we stopped in-keeping this place on our list!

Don't order delivery. I live 1.5 km from here and it's been over 100 minutes and still waiting. Very brutal.

Still dreaming of the sushi we had here on a snowy night last winter! Small space so make a reservation

Genuinely the worst sushi I've ever had but it was a vibe and me and bae had a great time regardless

Friendly service, and solid recommendations for sushi. Cocktails were tasty and the flavor combinations of maki were delicious. Try the Bob Marley, please. read more

This is an American-style sushi joint. Most of the dishes are made with fake crab and panko. That said, lots of it was tasty. We went for the tasting menu, which is a very good deal. The server, while friendly, snuck us into a sale of the tempura shrimp while not making it clear that it wasn't a gift from the kitchen. Be careful of that. The shrimp was good, so we weren't too upset. The tasting started with a well-executed salmon sashimi. The gingery dressing and smooth salmon mouthfeel made this a great starter. The tempura shrimp (extra) were nicely crisp in the tempura style with a juicy and plump interior. They are served on a stick. Most of the sushi maki rolls tasted the same to me. It mainly focuses on chopped spicy tuna/fake crab/panko/fried stuff etc. It's not bad, but it's primarily not a fish-forward tasting. Just be aware of that. read more

We had a fantastic experience. The service was great, and the atmosphere was very cozy. The food was excellent, with every dish tasting fresh and delicious. The staff were incredibly friendly and welcoming, making the entire experience even more enjoyable. Highly recommend this spot for anyone looking for top-notch sushi in a warm and inviting setting. read more

I had a great experience at Saint Sushi Bar. This place is definitely intimate and usually with long wait times, but 2 seats were snagged at the bar about 30 minutes before closing. Food came quickly and no one rushed me out after closing time. My favorite thing I ate was the sashimi (6 pieces), #3 on the menu. The dressing used was so refreshing, along with thinly sliced apples on top. I want to go back to this restaurant just to have 2 plates for myself! You also can't go wrong with any of their "maki." All the names will give you a chuckle as many provides tribute to legendary music icons. Service is top notch here. Everyone has such good working chemistry. The chefs, servers, and even the dishwashers were all singing along to 90s jams. Turns out the chefs are childhood friends with one another. I thought some were brothers, but that they all grew up with each other. They're looking to open another location soon. #49/2018 read more

A cute small sushi bar with its own personality. You can get a feel of the style of the restaurant from the music and employees. The environment was laid back and clean. Sitting at the bar is nice as you can see the sushi being made. read more

Not that great. We went here for my 40th birthday because it was the top rated in the whole area. We ordered three five piece rolls, a glass of beer and a glass of wine. The waiters decided to drink some wine of the same bottle before bringing ours almost 20 minutes after we ordered it. The food was also done for about 20 minutes at the sushi bar and the waiter didn't bring it to us. The value for the money was terrible. 5 pieces of sushi for $18 and it wasn't amazing. read more

Best sushi I have had in Montreal. Huge pieces and very good flavor. It was our first time in and the waiter was extremely nice. He explained the menu, what rolls and dishes were best, and even showed us the food going to other tables to give us an idea of what to order. All around great experience! read more

Revolting. Cannot understand why they have such a high Yelp rating; this is the most offensively bad sushi I have ever eaten. Already realized I made a mistake trying this place once I saw all the bizarre ingredients on the menu. Sashimi with apples? Mango? Pesto? Nearly every roll had yogurt included as an ingredient. WTH? Ordered one roll; when it came, it had a strong fishy smell, the hallmark of not fresh fish. I asked them to leave out an ingredient I was allergic to, and found out only when I got the bill that they charged me extra because they "gave me more fish" to make up for the missing ingredient. #1: Yeah, right you did. #2: Didn't ask you to do that, and if you were going to overcharge me anyway, you should have disclosed the excess charge upfront. Nearly $30 completely wasted (for a single 5 piece roll and 16% tip). This is the worst case of Yelp inflation I have ever encountered. read more

Lousy overpriced garbage. If Montrealers think this is good I pity them. I have eaten Sushi in cities all across North America and Europe and this isn't any better than bottom 10%. read more

Une de mes experience sushis préférées sur Montréal. Restaurant à taille humaine et chaleureuse. La première partie fut le bar où nous avons attendu qu'une table se libère. Cela nous a permis de discuter avec les chefs car après nous avoir suggéré le menu dégustation ils voulaient savoir quels choix cela serait pour les sapins de noël (homard et saumon). Une fois dehors les plats se sont succédés avec la bonne humeur du serveur qui a accommodé chacune de nos requêtes et était toujours content d'interagir avec la clientèle. La qualité des sushis était aussi originale qu'incroyable, ceux à la feuille de courgette (oui oui grillé de courgette) amenait une texture que je n'avais jamais goûté et les autres (spécialement le bob Marley) furent tout autant divins. Les rosés et blancs proposés accompagnèrent très bien chacun des plats. J'ai vraiment senti une atmosphère familiale centrée de manière pire autour de la satisfaction du client et tout le personnel était tellement agréable, bref excellent et à refaire. read more

Don't really have much to say, to be honest. A small little sushi spot with very friendly and very fast service. We ordered the tuna Christmas tree, which is kinda like a tuna Tartar on a rice crispy wafer. We also had the 'Madona' - it was fresh and tasty. For the price, it's a pretty okay spot. I should mention: the girlfriend has been coming here for 4 years, and mentioned the quality has deteriorated from what it used to be. read more

We feel there is a certain accuracy in the name "Saint" here because everything we ordered made us exclaim :"holy crap!". Beautifully presented, savoury little creations bursting with refreshing flavour of complex recipes and fresh ingredients defintiely make @saint_sushi stand apart from the regular, bland (but still good) sushi we seem to have an abundance of. read more

I have eaten sushi countless times in my life and in many different cities, and I have to be honest when I say, I was NOT expecting to have arguably the best sushi I have ever had in Canada! Everyone speaks so highly of the Canadian delicacies so I was not thinking i would be so blown away by Saint Sushi Bar, an unsuspecting hole in the wall on a side street off of St Denis. But WOW. That is all I can say. If you are in the area, you just have to come here. The place is quaint, the service was phenomenal and the sushi was just so unbelievably fresh .. like melt in your mouth, almost falling apart fresh. You have to try the Christmas trees as an appetizer, no question and definitely one of the special rolls. But I also got a standard Spicy Salmon roll and it was just as mind-blowing. There's even something so tasty about their soy sauce. I don't know what it is but I have been thinking about this place a lot since I ate there! I am actually sad that I live in the states and can't return to Saint Sushi on the regular. read more

Dear Saint Sushi Bar, Our friend M recommend you so many times, we knew that when the time came for her to go back home, you would be the perfect host for our farewell dinner. We came early (~5 PM) on a cold winter evening, and stepped into your cozy, welcoming dining room. The place was empty, so we had the chance to sit at the bar. Have you ever felt like you wanted to be part of the team that was serving you dinner? Well that's how cool you were! It was like having dinner at a friend's place - only a friend with professional sushi skills. Music seems to be a connecting thread at Saint Sushi Bar, and we bonded over that topic, changing the playlist, recommending concerts and reminiscing 80's, 90's and 00's best hip hop/R&B gurus. Then there was the food itself. The tasting menu was in three parts, starting with a refreshing carpaccio-style sashimi that was full of flavours. This was followed by the very festive 'Christmas trees', little towers of salmon or lobster mixed with green onions and tobiko. Last came the gorgeous plate of sushi rolls. They were all named after famous musicians, and the most eye catching of them all (perhaps because I'm a fan) was The Beatles, a colourful creation shaped like a flower, with enoki mushrooms as pistils. We were allotted 10 rolls each, but portions are quite generous, so we were overwhelmingly full toward the end of the dinner. What a great meal, and even greater people! Next time, we will make sure to come early again, as we can enjoy your company to the fullest. The food only makes it better :) Warm wishes for the cold months, I&J read more

Holy sushi! I found this place via Yelp and it did NOT disappoint! Top 5 sushi I've ever had. The green apple and sashimi salad was better than it looks in all of the pics and was 10/10 the best appetizer I could have imagined. The sushi was out of this world fresh, fun, and trendy. I'll forever recommend this place to anyone who needs a sushi restaurant rec in Montreal. read more

Amazing food and service !! Everything we ordered was great and our waiter Chico was really nice too ! Definitely recommend

Oh my heavens. We were visiting from Los Angeles and was craving a really good sushi spot. We got super lucky getting a table on a Saturday evening (went kind of early in the evening around 5PM without a reservation). Walked into this pretty small restaurant with about 7-9 tables. Highly recommend you make reservations if you're a large party. We were SO surprised by just how delicious these rolls were!!! Everything was so good. We started off getting their miso soup and some appetizers. Their shrimp tempura and lobster Christmas trees are to die for!!! Now moving onto their rolls ... there's a pretty decent selection. Fresh fish, cooked rolls, etc. What was really unique was that each roll was named after a celebrity and the dish is unique to it. Background music was of all the celebrities that they chose to name their rolls after. It was really a whole vibe! Not to mention, their service was impeccable. We met one of the managers there and he was super attentive and so nice. HIGHLY recommend! We would definitely come back here anytime we visit Montreal. read more

We came here based on the reviews and I'm not sure how they managed to get so many stars. We went for the tasting menu and honestly it was terrible. From the start everything was sickeningly sweet. They brought out these things that they call trees and they were this mushy sweet paste kind of like crushed up Ritz crackers. Then every single sushi roll they brought out was filled with that same sickeningly sweet paste. You couldn't really taste the fish at all. Such a disappointment. I would stay away. read more

Excellent sushis They have a menu that is very unique, love the name given to eah maki rolls. I took the tasting platter and the sensai rolls. It's amazing, it melts in your mouth and I can taste the fresh fish. I love their light sauce in the salmon with green apple from the tasting menu plate (Ask for it they'll give it to you) The sauce is very light and goes with makis, I prefer dipping it to this because you can taste the makis even more! The decoration is nice and the place is small. It's perfect for a place to date! I would definitely come back here. I was perfectly full and satisfied. read more

The sushi is good, but... the amount everyone raves about it, I was expecting something a bit more dazzling than this. If you're looking for fun fusion sushi, I don't really have a great recommendation other than somewhere like Sushi Inbox or Ryú downtown, but if you want the real deal, fancy, fresh fish sushi, then the only place to go is Jun I on the plateau, not too far from Saint Sushi. Also, the waiter made a weird racist joke about Michael Jackson that really soured the experience. Don't think I'll bother going back to this overcrowded, overrated, dark and loud restaurant when there are many other options out there :\ read more

This place is extraordinarily special. There's nothing else quite like it, and it encapsulates the incredible Montreal food scene to a tee. You will be delighted and surprised, but then again, there's a reason it is so highly rated. It's completely unexpected just how flavorful and fresh the food is, artfully arranged by emphasizing the purity and simplicity of the ingredients. It is in such a funky, cozy spot in one of the liveliest areas of Montreal. The decor is eclectic, I heard Drake's God's Plan on the speakers at one point, it's loud, cozy, with both an open kitchen and an open dishwashing station. It's not for stuffed shirts, fussy eaters, or folks who like things prim and proper. It's the bad boy of the sushi scene; bad boys have always been a weakness for me. I've already made a second reservation for when I return to the city in a few weeks. I can't wait to try the sampler platter. If it's anywhere near as good as my Michael Jackson maki, I just may float. Service is friendly and efficient, especially when I asked for menus in English. It gives off the vibe of having a strong local following, but they certainly made this visitor feel welcomed and at home. read more

My 9 year old daughter had been asking me for sushi for a while because she had never had it before, so I diligently did my research and waited until her birthday weekend. When we arrived it was a charming, cozy ambience that made us feel right at home. The staff was polite and courteous and made us not want to leave. We had no idea what to order and so the staff made a few suggestions. The presentation was immaculate and the taste of the food, spectacular. The christmas trees an the sashimi were to die for! Succulent and mouth watering! The chef was amazing and made her a bird out of an apple that she refused to eat and kept it in the fridge for god knows how long. We will always cherish our first experience with sushi because of the staff at Saint Sushi Duluth. Top notch guys. Thank you and keep up the good work! Spectacular!!! read more

Awesome food! I love it. One of the best Sushi I have tried in Montreal. I recommend it! Friendly staff if you eat on the spot.

Saint Sushi is a great spot in the plateau. It can get busy, so reservations are key. We had the tasting menu which was great! It was very filling and satisfying. The staff were all very friendly and seemed really good at what they do. Highly recommended! read more

My favourite sushi place in the city! Not much to say other than that you need to go and have their tasting menu. P.S. If you love the apple vinegar sashimi as much as I do, you can ask the waiters/waitresses to pour the remaining sauce into a small dish so that you don't look ridiculous licking off the plate it comes in. :) read more

Delicious sushi in a small unassuming restaurant. And it is super affordable! Fixed menu was three courses and 26$ CAD per person. We sat at the bar and Raul entertained and spoiled us to some delicious sushi. It's not the typical fare -- more sweet than savory flavors. They asked for any allergies and preferences which was fantastic. Sashimi came with julienned green apple and a sweet oil. Christmas trees were interesting -- it was a shrimp/tuna mix with tempura flakes on a rice cracker. Then came the rolls. Four glorious rolls. The Beatles was my favorite (fresh and rolled in cucumber). Definitely check the place out for a great sushi dinner! read more

This casual sushi place is unlike most sushi restaurants. A very casual ambiance with a mix of eclectic decor. It feels like a small local neighbourhood joint more than a asian-style traditional sushi place. The menu is straight forward with a selection of signature rolls and a few tasting combos. We sat at the bar and tried the tasting menu - salmon sashimi, followed by Christmas trees (salmon and tuna tartare on a rice cracker shaped like a pyramid), and a sampler of rolls. The sushi were creative and visually interesting. There was not as much whole fish pieces to my liking in the rolls, but overall the flavour was on point. The variety of sushi was good, no two rolls had the same wrapping. The place only sits a few so make sure you call ahead if you're heading during dinner time. read more

We weren't planning on coming here during our trip to Montreal but boy am I glad we ended up here. The host was very friendly, which really made our experience that much better. We got the tuna sashimi and apples, the salmon christmas tree and the Beatles Maki. The tuna sashimi and apples was very unique. I never thought that mixing fruit with fish was appealing but this changed my mind. It was basically a sweet and sour sauce. No need for soysauce! The salmon christmas tree. One of the main reasons I wanted to try this was because- CHRISTMAS TREE! I love the holidays and the name was appealing to me. The tartare was mixed with small rice crackers on top of a Rice cracker. It was full of flavor and the crunch was a plus. Note: While the other Maki comes in 5 pieces, the Beatles comes in 4- 1 for each Beatle, the waiter explained. Not complaining because it was so good! I look forward to visiting again to try the other rolls! read more

The sushi chefs were very kind and guided me in what to order as I sat at the bar. The restaurant itself has limited seating and gets pretty crowded. You have to walk up to the register to Pay. The sushi tower was delicious atop the crispy rice cracker and their naming convention was entertaining. I mean, who doesn't want a Michael Jackson roll? The guys might take their shirts off and dance if you tip them enough. read more

Saint is a posh Sushi spot in Plateau. Though busy, the staff are kind and accommodating and we were lucky to score seats on a Saturday night without a reservation. The menu is relatively short and sweet so you don't have to spend 10 mins reading every permutation of spicy salmon! The prices are a little higher than average but the quality of the fish and service justify it. The best item we tried were the "Christmas trees"; a bite sized pyramid of spicy salmon piled on a cracker. In tune with this non traditional approach, Saints also plays a steady stream of 90s hip hop which works with the vibe. Overall, despite the somewhat limited menu, this is the best sushi spot I've tried in Montreal. read more

After hearing so many amazing things about Saint Sushi Bar, I finally went for dinner on a random Thursday in June. I reserved for two people at 5:30 - though there was really no need. You only need to reserve if you're going to eat after 7pm or if you're in a big group because it's a small restaurant. For $26.50 each, we ordered the tasting menu. While I don't eat just anything, and was a little worried about what I would be trying, I'm so glad that I was feeling more adventurous that day. The flavours are mind blowing, the combinations really work, and nothing was too far outside my comfort zone! Yummy. First up - salmon sashimi with green apple slaw (2 pieces each). Damn, I would love to eat that again. Though a little cilantro would have really taken it over the edge for us. Then we got the "Christmas Tree" (2 pieces each). Mmmmmmmm... basically amazingness (chopped up lobster and crab salad - I think) on a cracker. Last up, the amazing sushi platter, which included four rolls and about 10 pieces of sushi each. Every single piece was beautifully presented and delicious. While it doesn't sound like a lot of food, we left feeling full but more importantly, raving about our little foodie adventure. The ambiance was also fantastic! The employees prepping the sushi were fun and singing along to the awesome 90s playlist they had going. I will for sure return to this cool sushi spot on Duluth! read more

I like this place, their selection is fun and different to your regular sushi place. And it is not just the creative names, but also their original sushi meal combinations. Their Christmas tree on a cracker is a must try. I haven't been inside the restaurant yet and only had take outs, but I am looking forward to visiting the place when it reopens for dining in again. read more

We had high hopes coming to this place due to prior reviews, but it was really nothing special in terms of sushi. The options are also quite limited. We also had the unfortunate experience of one of the employees scoffing after we asked a question. Overall, the employees were nice enough and the sushi wasn't bad per se, but really did not live up to expectations. read more
