Tokyo Sushi


This is an all-you-can-eat sushi located in Downtown of Montreal. See comments below.

1805 Ste-Catherine W. Montreal, QC H3H

ButterCup thinks:
Ok, this restaurant opened last summer. It's really well located, the outside looks "chic" and clean as well as the inside. They have nice pictures of the sushi. We went there during a hot day. There was no air conditioning, so it was so so hot. They put us at a table isolated like in a box. The menu has like more than 100 choices, but one meal could have more than 1 number, choices are repetitive! You have to chose the number that you want and write down, believe it or not, we had 3 menus that were not alike. One meal could have one different number on each menu. The menu gave me headache! sushi has no taste, the rice was hard and dry, the hot meals are tasteless. After a few pieces, I just wanted to throw up! Thank God that we did not order too much. I wonder if the ingredients are fresh, trust me i have a really good stomach against all bugs! If this restaurant is your first all you can eat sushi restaurant, you will probably enjoy it a lot, but if you had tried others, i think this one is in the bottom of the list. I gave 1/10 ( 1 for the decor)

Bubbles thinks:
I've read a couple of reviews about this restaurant and most seem positive. The only positive think that came out of our experience there is the creation of this blog. We were sooooooo nauseous and uncomfortable after we ate there that we decided to get all our frustration out by writing about it via a blog. Well, YES the decor is nice. But don't be fooled by the nice tables and chairs.....cause your taste buds and stomach will quickly bring you back to reality. Once you're able to understand the ordering process and then actually order and GET the food, that's when the adventure begins. We are used to ordering a lot of food and we ALWAYS manage to get through it all. This time we got screwed "real bad". Food is tasteless, too much oil, rice is dry and the fish was disgusting. We were so nauseous and full after a few bites that in the end we decided to share ALL the remains with the toilet bowl....that's how generous we are. Good thing we had a small plastic bag with us. The Washrooms aren't that great anyways....pffff.
That's all, I won't waste anymore energy writing about it, I had an upset stomach for 3 days and that was enough.

On my Bubbles' scale: 1/10.....cause cuz it helped us create this blog

We have been wanting to try this new spot for a while, so after a very STRESSFUL shopping session, we decided, us, the 3 musketeers, to finally try Tokyo Sushi.
We almost felt inappropriately dressed when we got in...everything seemed so chic and cosy.Hmmmm...After the first or second bite, my stomach started screaming for a toilet bowl. What to do, what to do...take one of the shopping bag, empty it and fill it with unwanted food. WHAT? I already paid for disgusting food, you think I'll be paying extra for uneaten pieces???
Rice= DRY
Appetizers (without any exception)= soaken in oil
Fish= what fish????

Blossom's scale: 1/10...just because of all the laughter while we were trying to hide the food in the shopping bag


KANDA SUSHI


This is the first all you can eat sushi restaurant that we've been to all together. There are 4 different restaurants, 3 in Montreal, and 1 in Laval. This restaurant's "ambiance" is friendly and warm. The service is always fast and efficient. You have more choices in the menu during the evening or weekend but the weekday menu is also varied. The food taste good with fresh ingredients.
Prices: Lunch: from Monday to Friday 14.49$, Evening: Sunday to Thursday 21.49$, Friday and Saturday 24.99$ ( the menu has more choices)

Hello everybody! This is my favorite all-you-can-eat sushi! Why? Because i found the sushi had more taste than the other places, it's not only the taste of rice! and you have so many choices so you don't get bored!
I personally don't really love their hot meal, i found the chicken and beef taste the same, like cardboard.
The place is so friendly, you can speak loud, eat like pigs and no one will give you a nasty look!
My favorite choices are: the kanda submarine, eel, and flying caviar!! Try the soya beans, full of proteins!
Their Maki are big and with a lot of rice, i prefer the sashimi or nigri. Don't order too much, eat slowly and think about that: your stomach is not a size of a soccer ball!! Once i ordered 8 sushi pizzas, trust me, i was acting like Mr Bean, trying to hide all the extra pieces that i can't swallow anymore!
This is a really nice place to go with friends and family but not on a date if you eat a lot! you will scare your date! I did not eat at the restaurant in Laval, but i tried the 3 others one, i find the resto on Ste-Catherine street is the less tasty and i don't like the service there, waitresses are little bit snob, and also, don't ever order bubble teas there! The 2 others places are the same, good service, good food!
I will give this place...8/10!

Bubbles says:
What to add?!?!?! Weeeeelll...the washrooms are clean...lol! No seriously, one of my favorite all-you-can-eat restaurants. What I love about the decoration is that it's not bland nor over the top. Just enough to have that asian feel. It's clean, service is fast so you get your food quickly and clean up is also fast so you can order for the 2nd, and 3rd and 4th round. I love the food there because it's very flavory and the choices are quite interesting (in a good way). We always order the soya beans but I think we should stop because we end up ordering 3 bowls and then must force ourselves to eat the rest of the sushis. LOVE THE GREEN TEA ICE CREAM there....a must. One thing I never understand though is that everytime we go there, we always end up in a euphoric state, we can't stop laughing and acting stupid. I'm wondering if it's something in the food or in the fish in general. Never happens at other places though.....hhmmmmm, a mystery for the Powerpuff Girls to solve.
Soooooo.....Bubbles gives it 9/10!!!! waahhhhh

AH...lots of good memories at this spot...the only place that we could afford as students for our oh so many food orgies.
No comments about how often you order, no nasty looks (except from the other clients when they see 3 tiny girls eating like ogres).

Sushis = top notch for what you pay
Appetizers = order as many as you like, and you know what? they come in good quantities!
...and do not forget: aisukuri-mu!!!! (green tea of course!)

Blossom gives it a 9/10 for all the good times sent there + the good food

ODAKI (sushi restaurant)






Just got back from this new restaurant located on Ste - Catherine street, Odaki sushi. It's an all you can eat or a la carte restaurant. On a Sunday evening, we paid 31$ each, taxes and tips included. There is a wide variety of sushi, sashimi, appetizers and warm meals. There is also a rotating sushi bar that completes this japanese experience. The decor was very " chic " and the service was ok. Above, you can see pics of the inside of the restaurant and portion of what we ordered (for two)......NO, we are not pigs nor fat!
