    Various sushi orders
    Robert V.

    Whenever I get to Montreal I find unique dining and this was the one for this trip. I absolutely loved this place. Service was fantastic. Many servers and waiters attend your needs. It's a modern ordering system where you order from an iPad and it was very helpful and comprehensive. You can order food and drinks and easily select your dietary restrictions (I have to eat gluten free). You can keep ordering in waves if you like which is what I did. I wish I took more pictures. I started with a soup and salad, the some sushi and then fried rice and some specialties like the beef carpaccio. When I ordered someone they could not make gluten free (imitation crab is not gluten free) they canceled it and came and told me). The have an all you can eat price you can take advantage of or order ala cart. The all you can eat is what I did and it was a great value (CA38.99) Will return again. The drinks were wonderful and the food was top notch. Among the best I have ever had. The sushi the freshest! The dining room was packed on Saturday. I snuck in late but reservations are suggested on the weekend.

    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.

    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.

    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).

Once seated, things happen very quickly...it is go, go, go (in the best possible way.) We ordered appetizers first, the tempura green beans with a delicious truffle mayo, gyoza and the tofu salad (they make it fresh every Sunday). Green beans were everyone's fave, but I have to mention the (pickled?) vegetables on the salad. So flavourful! Also tried the egg drop soup which is so tasty. Mains were the salmon tuna bowl, the beef short ribs, the shrimp burger, and 48 hour pork with curry sauce. Everything was wonderful! Finished with their soft serve ice cream, I had the cherry blossom but one of us had the sake, which is a shot of sake poured on top. Amazing! You can even have wasabi or ginger... I'll try that next time (and there will be a next time soon!)

    Came here for a reservation with a big group of 17 for a friend's Bach dinner during our trip to…read moreMontreal after doing research and I'm happy to report that it did not disappoint. I wanted to share my experience because their online and in person menu is quite ambiguous and doesn't do justice in explaining their tasting menus. What I really like about this restaurant is that unlike many, they don't make everyone order the same thing. It just requires a minimum of 2 people for the tasting menu and everyone else can order what they please otherwise. The $55 tasting menu is pretty worth it imo. The fact that a drink alone is about $17 as is makes it worth, because it comes with multiple tapas and a drink of choice. The server tried his best to explain everything to us beforehand, but we couldn't help but start to worry during the meal when a few plates came out and we hadn't seen anything for a while. Basically, there are 3 courses, and each course contains multiple items which come out pretty quickly all at once. We started off with lighter apps like edamame, karaage, gyoza, and Japanese pasta. There will be a waiting period before the next course comes out (but don't panic like we did, it doesn't end here). The second course contained tuna poke, a vegetable dish, beef tataki, and takoyaki. There is another waiting period before the third (and heaviest) course comes out. We received pork ribs (a crowd favourite), salmon, and a watermelon salad to end. There were definitely more dishes that I'm forgetting but by the end of it we were all stuffed and pleasantly surprised with the variety we received and unanimously thought it was pretty worth. The restaurant environment is also such a vibe... just a great social setting overall. We had some people in our group that opted out of the tasting menu and decided to share à la carte style, and they also enjoyed their meal and thought it was worth it too. I'd highly recommend this spot as it was a highlight during our trip.

Staff was very nice…read moreespecially the recommended that sit at the bar since that seems to be where everything is happening. The only issue is that the bar seat area was pretty tight against the seated tables around so whenever someone passes by I usually get my back brushed or sometimes pushed so be aware. The lighting is somewhat dim to keep that sort of cozy vibe. Bartender was friendly and patient with my drink order, which ended up just being a beer. 4/5 SAUMON BONBONS: Salmon well fried but dtill moist. The sweet sauce mixed well and definitely goes well with beer. 3.5/5 Bacon mochi good and super chewy but def will fill u up quick. Coleslaw nice offset and tangy. I liked the first couple chews but then started getting really filled so was experiencing the too much eats before being able try anything else. Overall great place to go with date or group. Its a bit noisy so plan accordingly.

    While I was in Montreal, I had to check out the FAMOUS Kinton Ramen (yes, I know about this spot…read morefrom their graphic t shirt collaboration with Uniqlo LOL). I stopped by around 8:45 PM, 15 minutes before they closed, but the staff were so kind and lovely, let me dine in, gave me a free drink on the house, and even told me to take my time and not worry about closing. I ordered the spicy garlic pork ramen with thick noodles, and I was blown away with how flavorful the broth and QQ (chewy) the noodles were. I didn't like the pork that much and found it a bit tough and gamey, but they do have two other types of meat (chicken, beef) as well as a vegetarian option available, as well as seasonal menu specials. If I was at McGill, I'd probably visit this spot a bit too often LOL, and I highly recommend checking them out for their comforting ramen bowls and incredibly kind service!

    Stopped in for dinner and got the following: - Beer/Sake…read moreCombo: Comes with Original Pork Ramen and a choice of beer or sake. I went with the beer. You also need to decide if you want thick or thin noodles, went with thin. - Original Karaage Simple interior design and layout, either you sit at the tables or the bar. The staff member was very friendly, service was quick and the food came out fast. The Karaage was perfectly fried, seasoned and delicious. However, no dipping sauce is provided, all other joints that I've been to will give you a mayo dipping sauce, not here. The Ramen - noodles were perfectly cooked, however honestly package ramen had a better flavor than their Original pork ramen unfortunately. I had expected this rich and creaminess of the pork broth, that was sticky-lipped intensifying, but it was not. This was disappointing and thus can only give 2 stars. I can't say for other noodle type, but original pork ramen needs a lot of work.
