My wife and I decided to try this establishment and set a reservation. The place was packed walking in and one of the hostesses (short blonde-haired girl) almost plowed my wife over trying to go by with no regard. Just focused on where she was headed, I assume but still. Ironically on our way out the same hostess was coming back through and again almost knocked my wife over and bumped me as I pulled my wife out of the way. Again, no regard. I honestly think she didn't even notice, just so focused. So, my suggestion would be to be aware of your surroundings so you're not trampling the patrons. The pictures of the space are misleading. I thought the space would be bigger. It made it feel like you were on top of others. Nice quaint dark charge just compact. I had reserved the sushi bar. Now we had expected to be able to see what the chefs were doing but due to the height of the wood bar that was impossible. Also, we had expected a more personalized experience as where the chefs interact as had previously at other Japanese restaurants in Jamaica, the U.S. and while living in Japan. Here they just make up the orders. I would suggest a table to anyone since they do not interact, you're just getting a lot of noise. Also, you are in a high traffic spot for the employees coming and going from the back. All this aside the real surprise was the menu. It is unique as previewed online via their website prior to make a reservation. But found to be misleading/poorly formatted. The section for Sushi Rolls be it 6 or 8 pieces, at the top of each respective page states in red with parenthesis (6 pieces) and the other page (8 pieces). Below are the various rolls laid out with next to each one in red with parenthesis either a (6) or (8) depending on which page you are on. Now I assumed this was the price per roll as I found most menus in Montreal have a format of i.e. 00, 00.00, (0), (0$), 00$, and 00.00$. With a few in place of the $ sign using CAD. I did not think that if a page is already labeled at the top that anyone would format redundantly the amount given. And the actual price is 4 times that. Now I am not saying they aren't making a quality product. It was all very delicious. Presentation was impeccable but honestly to us it wasn't over the top or within reason of the price. I would have to say this is the most expensive sushi I have had. I believe mine was 37 CAD ($27 US). In the U.S. typically I'd say rolls range from $6-$20 USD. The cost didn't really matter, just wasn't expecting it. And again, the rolls are unique, normally not found elsewhere and were delicious. I just think the website should reflect the price of and not the amount when itis already stated, it is just misleading. Also note if your look at the drink's menu online, there are no parenthesis but to the right of each beverage item in red is a number indicating the price. So, you really shouldn't have it on one menu then be different on another. Drink wise I started with NIKKA MIYAGIKYO PEATED 2021 SINGLE MALT for 35$ (25 USD). I had never heard of it, but I like smokey drinks. A quick check showed this bottle goes for around $250USD. So, I'd say the price equates properly. But I also based this on a shot (being 1.5oz or 44.4ml). When it came out in the standard 6oz whiskey glass it was barely visible. I'd guess based on having these glasses maybe 1/2 an ounce. So, someone either really mis poured or...... I hadn't even tasted yet when another server (we had 2 it seems) came by and asked if I would like another drink and went to take the glass. I said I hadn't even tried it yet. He apologized and said he thought the glass was empty, so that is saying something. On the note of drinks, under sake you can find 300ml DASSAI 45 JUNMAI DAI GINJO for 85$ ($62 USD), this generally sells for about $35 USD. Literally around the corner @ Gyu-Kaku (Japanese hibachi) they sell it on their menu for (300ml) 55$ ($40 USD). Hidden Fish is a 42% markup over retail. Now dessert, amazing. Not found online. I ordered this cheesecake mouse with coconut cream top and an anglaise base. My wife, who is not big on desserts, took a taste then pretty much ate the whole thing. If for nothing else, we would go back to just have this dessert again. And I am kind of curious about the other options. read more

This restaurant has become our favorite place to visit when my boyfriend and I are in Montreal. You walk into a warm cozy atmosphere, with excellent service, and even better food. Truly, every bite is amazing! Staff are attentive and kind without being overwhelming, and though expensive (as sushi is expected to be) the prices are reasonable for what you're getting. We ordered dessert, savoring every bite, just to stay a little longer in a place that felt so comfortable. I normally don't write reviews but I made an exception here with how impressed I was. I want this place to do well because I'm looking forward to coming back for many more visits. read more

This place is the real deal for high end sushi. Don't expect to get away cheap here, but you will be amazed at the quality and experience. From wagyu to aged sushi, trust your server. They will guide you on an experience. The ambiance is great casual fine dining laid back. We had a party of 7 and it was approximately $150 CAD per person. Amazing food. The pictures show why. The sushi chef is awesome. read more

Sushi Hidden Fish - Fatty tuna belly! With caviar - Japanese Near Me - Montreal, Quebec

As part of our gift and visiting family, we went out to Hidden Fish to get some sushi. As we entered the place, it was relatively moody/dark with non-descript music a la trance style that I've kind of heard in boutique trendy hotels that play in the lobby. We entered and they asked for our coats which helps with the servers being able to meander throughout the restaurant easily. The only thing was that when we left, they asked for a ticket and they didn't give us any tickets. So if you do give away your jackets, make sure you get a ticket. We were seated on the side which helps with the view of the kitchen as well as sitting next to the bar. We were asked if we wanted service in French or English and of course, because of me (*sigh* but I'm learning I promise!), we had our service in English. The person who served us was very knowledgeable in the menu and helped us understand the difference between certain sashimi platters. We got both the Sashimi Premier Platter and Nigiri platters. Most of the fish were okay, but a good amount had this jelly/hardness that felt like it was bad fish. Perhaps my knowledge of sashimi or raw fish could be wrong, but the otoro (fatty tuna) was actually worse than the chutoro which is the mid fatty tuna. I've had melt in your mouth otoro before and this was that weird texture. Chutoro was much better. The salmon was also good. We also had two rolls which were pleasantly good - Nobunaga and Natsu. The shiso paste in the Natsu was refreshing. The service was a little weird. Like it heavily slowed down at some point and it was like...uh...when's our food coming? We also were being poured sake very quickly which could be good in some cases but it was like they wanted us to order more drinks. Water was refilled pretty often. Overall, the food was good, the ambiance a little more trendy, the service kind of meh. It's not a bad spot to grab your sushi especially if you're out for a date night. Try it out! read more

This place is tucked in on De La Montagne and a bit hard to find. It's also only open from 5pm five days too so no lunch. Food (4.5/5) - it's a pricey menu but they use high quality fresh ingredients with a modern twist to authentic Japanese sushi sashimi and maki. Had the Hamachi and Scallop sashimi and both were very tasty creations. Had Maki Natsu and Nobunaga and both were excellent creations. Service (4.5/5) - servers and host were both friendly and attentive and checked back in on me multiple times. Atmosphere (4.5/5) - it's a dark intimate restaurant with tables and bar stools and vibey music. Upscale look and feel. Overall (4.5/5) - I definitely enjoyed Hidden Fish and would repeat. It's a bit pricey and only open evenings but worth checking out! read more

Found this by accident and it did not disappoint. Service, atmosphere, and food!!! Excellent!

We visited this restaurant on recommendation from family members and we are also sushi lovers. Otherwise we likely would've missed out on Hidden Fish. Given the price point and number of options on the menu, we decided to be strategic and opted for the chef nigiri set (24) so we could share bites of nigiri with the joy of being pleasantly surprised. Some selections were better than others, but overall I was happy with the selection. We sat at the bar and one of the chefs offered us fresh grated wasabi as complimentary and it really upped the flavor profile of the nigiri. If possible I would request this even if it is an upcharge because it made a big difference in our sushi experience. Knowing that we had a big appetite the addition of the Maki Hidden Fish was a reasonable addition to have us feel comfortable. The Maki was balanced as I was concerned the foie would overly enriched the toro but somehow the other flavors mellowed this roll out. It's hard for me to recommend this as it's a pricier option on the menu and tastes fine but also wasn't like mind blowing. The interior is off the streets of Montreal next to a pizzeria and other businesses. But tucked in the building is a moderately sized sushi restaurant serving patrons at tables and at the bar. Overall it felt warm and they had a great selection of music the entire time. The chefs were diligent with creating and serving our tickets. At the height of our meal there were quite a few tickets in queue so this place definitely gets busy. I suggest taking recommendations from your server and ordering all at once versus ordering in rounds. Overall it's a decent location. Not bad but not like the best sushi ever, but a good place to go out for sushi with a group. read more

We had an excellent dinner at this restaurant. We got the premium sashimi and the sushi for two as well as the otoro sushi and some other dishes. We sat upstairs in a small area with several other tables. The decor is beautiful. Service was good but at times it was hard to track down the waiter given where we were seated. Just an observation, not a criticism. The fish was excellent and fresh and well prepared, both the sashimi and the sushi. The fish was good but I will observe that the variety was not exceptional... think good cuts of fish, so tuna, salmon, yellow tail, etc.. nothing out of the ordinary, but all good. We ordered the otoro sushi which came out last, after the nigiri for two which was a little odd. Felt as if they had forgotten it. All in all, a good dining experience. I think it would have gotten an extra star if the fish selection was just a little more unique. read more

At the recommendation of our concierge in Montreal, we had dinner at Hidden Fish Sushi. It was outstanding. This is an authentic Japanese restaurant (ie no "California rolls"). We started with the edamame with Togarashi & sesame oil. That was followed by the Tuna noodles (tuna, black cavier, sesame, yuzu kosho & ponzu sauce) which were amazing. We then opted for the "chef's choice" of nigiri and sashimi. They accommodated our desire to exclude a few items and delivered a fabulous selection. The service and attention from management was superb. For any sushi lover, Hidden Fish in Montreal would be a great choice of restaurant. read more

I have been wanting to try this place for such a long time, so finally we come here for a lovely date night. The restaurant is small but quaint and cozy. The decor is slightly unusual, especially the ceiling but it is absolutely very unique and beautiful. The service is 100 % excellent. Our servers were awesome, our water never gets empty from our glasses, always refilled. We ordered the sashimi platter, scallop homosaki and tuna tartare maki, the latter was the piece of resistance for us that we ordered again. Every sushi was fresh and so succulent. I see the hype of this restaurant, it is beyond amazing. read more

The quality of the food here is awful, UNAUTHENTIC, and very bland. First of all, entrees came after appetizers and the first course (entrees) arrived 45 minutes after ordering. Not all of our entrees came at once so I ate after everyone's food was done. We waited another 10-15 minutes for my entree and another 10 minutes for the nigiri. None of us enjoyed our food and after we were done my group asked "did someone really recommend this place?" So embarrassing. Food: The Ebi Shrimp is SHRIMP COCKTAIL (2 pieces: $12)...for shrimp cocktail! I have gone to dozens of omakases in NYC and all over and I've never had ebi shrimp like this. So disgusting and disappointing. This was my breaking point for writing this review. The Maki Le Blanc says it's torched but only one piece tasted torched. So underwhelming and tasteless. When you eat REAL Japanese food you don't need to use a lot of soy sauce to enjoy it. The food here is so bland I relied on the soy sauce so i can have some flavor. I am used to spending this much money, if not more on food so this is not a complaint on pricing. The complaint is towards how awful the quality of the food was. I've been to local sushi places that was a fraction of the cost and it was better than this. I do not recommend this place at all, for the food, service, price, quality, taste, wait, how they operate, anything. I seriously wish I could get my money back. This place does not deserve it and I went to grab food after this at the hotel. Even a filet o' fish has more flavor than this place. Jeez, I've never been more disappointed in my life. read more

I went to this restaurant on monday night at 7pm. The service was great but i have to wait 15 minute before the waiter asked us if we need some water and it has only 3 table total including us. Well it not worth it for the price we paid for the meal. Sashimi side was very good and fresh. Nigiri side was very bad because i expected something more beautiful or some awsome decoration on my plate for paying 120$. On the maki side well i don't suggest anyone to take maki with seewed paper because it very hard to chew. Well this place is over rated and over price for the food. read more

I had an incredible experience at Hidden Fish, it was truly special. The ambiance is absolutely beautiful, and peaceful. It's probably in my top ten favorite restaurants for decor. The service was impeccable. Phet took excellent care of us, found a wonderful sake to go with our meal, and was both friendly, and professional. The rest of the staff was also very professional. Everyone knew what they were talking about, and the timing for each serving was perfect. As for the sushi - it is the best I have ever had. We elected to do chef's choice. I've never had such unique, yet authentic sushi before. They were also somehow able to know EXACTLY how much food to serve for six people. The salmon noodles were to die for, and I wish I knew the names of the other things we got. You can't go wrong with ordering here. From start to finish - miso soup, sushi, and dessert, everything was tasty, and perfect. I'm incredibly sad I don't live here, but I plan on coming back every time I'm in Montréal. This was truly and unforgettable restaurant. read more

Authentic Japanese sushi at its finest. Chef Haruo Ogrura with 30+ years experience brunch this incredible menu to this restaurants. The sashimi premium mix .. are the best quality fish coming from Japan. The presentation is A+ From the plating to the service and right down to the bite ... this is an experience u don't find in most sushi restaurants in mtl. They do offer a raising menu as well! Fuji maki was one of my favourite.. but there wasn't anything I wouldn't recommend. Every item was different and if u know how to appreciate quality Sushi then this place is for u. If ur looking to get what u pay for with a quantity dinner and can't appreciate that quality Imported fish comes at a price then there are other Restos that are better suited. read more

Had dinner last night with the family at Hidden Fish and the experience was top notch. We did not experience any of the negative comments the previous reviewers posted. Service was meticulous, fast, friendly and very attentive, more attentive than any other restaurant I have ever been to in a while. We ordered the premium chef's choice plates for sashimi and nigiri as well as some maki rolls. Fish was super fresh and melt in your mouth tasty. Some of the fish we did not care for but this is just our preference but the most important thing for sushi is it's freshness and it was spot on. read more

The reviews made me believe this was the best sushi place in Montreal . However I got seated at the very back of the restaurant on a very uncomfortable stool by a plastic plant box that was falling over on the table .I am an 60 year old woman . Not the target clientele .The rest of the restaurant was under 30 . The waiter was very serious and did not smile once . The first sushis took 39 minutes to come . The rest followed at a decent pace . The sushis were excellent . The table was very small so we could only get one sushi plate at a time .We had to beg to get our water glass filed . The service and the decor of the restaurant made me give it 3 stars . Ryu on Richmond is much better .They treat you nicely and give you a good table even if you are an old woman . read more

Very posh place. Beautiful decor. The food was delicious. If you are into sushi & good sashimi you will appreciate the menu. We came all the way from New York and enjoyed our dinner there. The drinks I felt were not filled to the top which really upset us. For $16 a drink, we want the martini glass to be filled a bit halfway through the glass. This is the only issue I had at the place. Other then that, our waiter Rez was awesome. But again, would have been nice if they made us at least one of our rounds of lychee martini past halfway through the glass read more

My flight to Montreal got cancelled so I couldn't make it to my dinner reservation. I called and email the restaurant manager of my situation with supporting documents but he refuses to waive the "no show fee" for my reservation and explains if he makes it an exception for me he has to make it an exception to others to be fair. From my standpoint, i think the restaurant should consider waiving the no show fee for unforeseeable, legitimate reasons, e.g medical, accident, flight cancellation. Be warned for those of you looking to dine at this restaurant. read more

For $96 the Sashimi "Premium" has only 5 varieties of fish and 3 of them Tuna. If they were offered to me in a blind taste test, I would have guessed it's from an AYCE establishment.

I don't write reviews often but I feel like I should express my 2 cents. After looking on Instagram at all the beautiful food this restaurant has to offer I decided to try it. I am a maki roll type of guy and love to try specialities the sushi restos have to offer. I order a salmon tartar and 60$ worth of specialty maki rolls (3 set of 8 rolls) Salmon tartare: this was more or less 20$, I love tartare and this was the most basic I ever had. Really nothing specials, they provide a sauce you need to pour over and the fish was bland. It was boring and not worth the money. I rather spend it on a small portion over marcher 27 Maki rolls: I found the rolls expensive they were more or less than 20$ each. I expected it to blow my mind for the price I'm paying or at least a generous portion. Nothing special on the rollls, they were pretty basic, I think sushi shop would offer better for the amount you're paying, yes..sushi shop. The rolls were pretty small which was disappointing and really nothing special when it comes to taste. The menu makes their food sound elegant than it is and the inside of the resto is really Gorgeous. The restaurant is elegant which makes me believe the reason why the prices of the sushi is expensive for what you're getting. Sorry I had high hopes for this place which was disappointing and spent over 80$ for a meal that was valued for 50$. Sushi shop was better then this, yess sushi shop. Hope the resto considers my review and at least offers bigger rolls for the price we are paying, then I would reconsider. read more
