While walking around st denis I was looking for some place to eat I was hungry and saw an all you can eat sushi buffet and was set. Since the street is often blocked off it might be easy to miss this joint amounts all the other places. Once you walk in the decor is really nice and the set up looks great. Unfortunately I didn't get to experience the best of the restaurant as when the first round of food arrived we noticed there was a bug inside the soy sauce container. This put a rough start to the meal and moving forward was tough. Unfortunately the meal was hard to enjoy afterwards and perhaps because of the situation I felt the food wasn't as good as other places. I'd definitely give this place another try and hopefully see them do better

My partner and I LOVE all you can eat sushi, so of course we seek it out whenever we visit another city. Montréal was no exception and I'm so happy we went! It really made us feel at home. The server explained how to order via the iPad and it was all very simple and quick. Food was so delicious and satisfying at a reasonable price! We sat outside which was really enjoyable. The street was calm and it was the perfect weather outside to just chill and people watch. Sushi was delicious and I loved that we were able to try a variety of rolls. If you love sushi you'll love Taiyo!

I'm not sponsored and didn't receive money for this review. Food: fish for sushis and sashimis was very fresh. Warm dishes like garlic shrimp, cheese grilled mussels and tempuras were really good, well beyond all you can eat average. They also offer Japanese specialty snacks, like takoyaki, teriyaki chicken skewer, etc. Tempura shrimp was my fav, fresh shrimp coated with batter and fried to golden yellow, warm and crispy but not greasy, yumm! For dessert they had more than ice cream. Fried bananas topped with whipped cream and candy. It was creative and absolutely delicious. Red wine pickled pears were definitely a good compliment to the meat. We ordered cocktails too, it was ok, but it's not a cocktail bar right Moreover, the ambiance was warm and cozy, very suitable for friends get togethers. The food service was quick and all waiters were responsive. Highly recommend this place and will definitely go back!

I really love this place! The sushi was fresh, the staff was super friendly and the presentation was exquisite. They follow the vivid measures to the letter so nothing to worry about here !

Very cool presentation with the dry ice. The submarine sushi was amazing and the salmon sashimi tasty and fresh.

So happy I discovered this place. I've tried so many AYCE sushi places. This is the top ones. Like a lot of people said the dry ice is such a cool presentation. The service was friendly and fast. No complaints there. The inside is very cute/hispter. Don't get fooled by the outside. As for the food, it was amazing. Pretty much the same as Kanda and K2. Very good diversity of both sushi and food. Ordering from the ipad is really convenient. Lets you see pictures of every item. I would definitely go back.

Cool dry ice presentation with sushi and sashimi

I had a great time here. The staff were all friendly and the restaurant was clean, inviting, and large enough to handle the busy streets of Montreal. We didn't have to wait for a table on a Sunday evening. The food here was delicious and the food came out quick. I also very much liked their presentation of their sashimi/sushi platter. The dry ice was a very special touch. Everything is ordered with a tablet which I find really convenient. A must try are the lamb and squid skewers. They were as good as what you would find at an Asian street food market. I also liked how the sushi rolls weren't 50% rice. There was just enough rice with mostly filling in their rolls, something I never see at an ayce restaurant. Water was plentiful as they give you a bottle for the table and regularly replace it once it's empty. I have to say it may be one of the best service I've had at an ayce sushi restaurant. Our empty dishes were often picked up as soon as they were done. The reason for the 4-star is because of their tablet program. Each time you put an order in, you have to pick what table number you are. I can imagine it could be easy to accidentally order food to the wrong table. The tablet also glitched on us and didn't ask for a table number so we didn't receive the batch of orders. We had to reorder everything again once we realized the order didn't go through after waiting 15-30 mins. This will definitely be a favourite stop for sushi anytime I visit Montreal.

Taiyo Sushi is a chain of AYCE sushi restaurants. I read great reviews of Taiyo Sushi in Longueuil and decided to give this St-Denis branch a shot. We came on a Sunday evening and it was almost full. Sunday evenings are considered a weekday so the price was 25.99$. We were promptly greeted and seated. The location is spacious and casual, and also very familiar to me; I realized that I've been here before: the location used to be a Starbucks! Ordering is fairly straightforward: select whatever you want on an iPad and wait for the food to arrive. The waiters are friendly and pleasant. However, a few staff members seemed perpetually confused, walking around like a chicken with its head cut off, without knowing whether they were coming or going... As for the food, the presentation was excellent. After all, we do start eating with our eyes first. The sushi was not bad for an AYCE place. It certainly wasn't the worst I've had, but definitely not the most fresh. I also would have preferred less rice in my nigiri and my rolls. Pros: -high tech ordering (iPad) -extensive selection -pleasant ambiance -has sashimi -has red tuna nigiri (my litmus test for AYCE sushi) Cons: -lots of rice -a bit stingy with the fish -waiters are very friendly, but a few were not very professional and seemed confused about the orders Overall, it was a good eating experience. Adequate price and slightly above average AYCE sushi. I would return.

We walk into this restaurant for lunch after we arrived Montréal, then we got know it is all you can eat style for 16.99 $ for lunch. Ordered through iPad which is very convenient, and the food came with great presentation and also pretty fast. The waiter is also efficient and polite. We had a wonderful meal.

Tuna poke
Morgan H.

I was craving sushi and Japanese food while in Montreal and decided to order from Taiyo. I had the tuna poke bowl which had cucumber, japanese pancake and avocado over a bed of sushi rice. The bowl also had a sweet, mayo-based sauce also coated the rice. The tuna, cucumber and avocado were very fresh and high quality. I did not care for the sauce and wish they had the option to remove or substitute this mayo based sauce for the more traditional soy-based ponzu. It was very overpowering and sweet; I was glad it did not cover the the fish and vegetables. The rice was soft and well cooked but unfortunately overpowered by the creamy dressing. Overall, the fish and vegetables in the bowl were tasty, high quality but the sauce was not very good. I think the price was on the higher side for poke bowls as well. I would try some of their other sushi though for the quality fish and cuts.

Soaring high above the city of Montreal and into the clouds at SORA 45. I stopped by this (actually…read morehidden) speakeasy since I was staying at the nearby Hotel Bonaventure, and it was definitely worth a visit! Located on the 45th floor, you can get beautiful panoramic views of the city, including of the St. Lawrence river. Highly recommend stopping by to watch the sunset transition into nighttime. Now onto their menu- I was expecting a bit more food options, but they really only have light bites/appetizers, so I'd eat elsewhere beforehand. I ordered the Wagyu brioche, which was incredible, but I wasn't as impressed with the crispy hosomaki, which was overly salty and didn't have that much dimension of flavor. The drinks were incredible and innovative though, incorporating authentic Japanese flavors and three eras of Japan's history. The bartenders and staff were very friendly and accommodating, managing to snag me a much coveted bar spot without a prior reservation.

Definitely some of the best prices and the drinks were actually really good even at that price. We went on a Sunday afternoon and weren't expecting much since I heard it's usually quiet but there was a decent crowd. The staff did a good job getting us seats within 10-15 minutes. Definitely looking forward to coming back next time we're in town.

You can also order to go here I believe. They really operate efficiently, expect fast service! Tables are tightly situated and there's a cozy bar situation where I sat this time, able to watch the chefs cook right in front of me. The daily specials are posted on their Instagram page, as well as written on pieces of paper around the restaurant. My server quickly helped me to water and a glass of sake. I placed a to go order for one of the daily specials, the grilled sea bass with sushi rice and salad, with some kimchi. I also ordered the BBQ chicken with tortilla and salad, as well as vegetable gyoza. Everything was incredible. Truly. The gyoza came topped with green onions and was SO crispy and hot and was perfect with their soy sauce. I thought sea bass was wonderful with a unique almost smoky flavor that melted in my mouth paired with the slightly sweet sticky rice. The barbecue chicken was great as well and better the next day. One thing I don't really understand is why they served plain flour tortillas cut into quarters with their food. We didn't utilize this, nor the white butter/mayo sauce that came alongside it. I hope to eat here often, for years to come and am so happy to see this iconic Japanese restaurant still thriving years later.

This was a highly recommended place so we weren't surprised to find a line up when we arrived. We…read moreweren't sure if it would be worth the wait but the family in front of us raved about it so we decided to stay. No regrets! We were a party of 3 and waited about half an hour to be seated. There is not a ton of seating in the restaurant. It is small and the tables are quite close together. We were a little disappointed that they ran out of salmon so we couldn't order any salmon sashimi dishes. We got skewers which were absolutely delicious! We also ordered takoyaki and okonomiyaki but there was nothing special about those. Wouldn't really recommend the okonomiyaki either. Would definitely recommend trying the Shrimp Burger and the Salmon Calcium (salmon pate).
