Kyoto Restaurants Japonais

This little gem in the heart of St-​Laurent walking street is the bomb!
I’m an avid sushi lover, have probably tried all the high end sushi places in Montréal so trust me when I say that this is the peak of price for quality.
You won’t find any fancy fusion rolls here or elaborate sauces, but if you love good quality sashimi this is the place.
Everything was really fresh and the sashimi servings were very generous. Probably the biggest eel piece I’ve had in all of Montréal! The eel towered over the rice ball that held it up.
Basic rolls also but well executed.
Quiet and laid back atmosphere with serves well for a casual date or night out with friends.
Only critic I have is that the service is tremendously slow … It’s a mom and pop joint and only the pop makes the sushi so be prepared to wait!
If you want something to compare it to, it compares to yasu sushi in Brossard, but much closer to where I live :)

Overpriced below average Sushi. Sure. if you’re comparing it with terrible buffet style «sushi» like Kanda’s then yea. it’s better.
We tried different types of their Maki and sushi.
I keep getting disappointed with the sushi in Montréal or near it and this is the most recent installment.
Save your money and palate.

Very good sushi restaurant. Try the matcha cheesecake for dessert, it is delicious. Staff is very friendly.

Once you’ve been to this restaurant you’ll never want to go back to sushi buffets again (unless you have to for some group activity). The food is awesome, the service is wonderful (I’ve been there so many times that the staff recognizes me) and the place is very warm and welcoming filled with lovely Japanese décor. If you’re a sushi lover, you definitely have to go to this place. It’s like being in sushi heaven!
P. S. I highly recommend the Sushi Pizza. It’s not made like any other!

I have been going there for years, and I could tell you with all sincerity it’s one of the best authentic Sushi restaurants in Montréal. No Fancy fusions, only well balanced, well prepared, Japanese Sushi.
The chef is the only one who makes the Sushi. He prepares each piece in such a meticulous and precise manner, which can take a little bit of patience on the customers part. But waiting should never be an issue at Kyoto’s, especially if one had past experience of what mouth watering dish will come it’s way, knowing that the final result is nothing less then a skilful and masterly composed dish of perfection. So don’t expect it to be done in 5 min.
«Nothing but the best». If they don’t have it fresh they wont serve it.
If a certain fish was out of season or simply not up to the chefs rigorous standards of freshness. It will be removed off the menu, and Although I might have been looking forward to that specific sort of Maki, I find comfort in knowing that «Mr. Chef Kyoto» only uses the best ingredients. Besides variety isn’t whats missing.
I brought many friends to this place along the years and even if some of them disliked Sushi; ran the other way at the idea of a raw dish of fish, or simply, their past experiences were limited to the «All you can eat» joints. they’ve all been converted and adopted Kyoto as a reference of what Sushi outside Japan should taste like. (NO More Kanda)
The ambiance is exactly what I need when I want to have a relaxing meal with a few friends, or a romantic evening with my girlfriend enjoying some wonderful and artfully crafted Sushi, Sashimi, Tempura… etc. Some Jazz playing in the background and a good Kieran Ichiban beer, what more can you ask for.
I always feel welcome by
. Kyoto. Unfortunately I don’t know their real names, and foolishly never thought to ask, but that never stopped their customary in synced greeting of Hello and Goodbye. Making you feel remembered and appreciated.

Great sushi place. Very small place. The outside and inside are not the anything to write home about, but that doesn’t matter once you try the sushi. The menu is basically soup, salad and sushi… So if you want more don’t waste your time!
All of the rolls we had were wonderful and the amount of fish in each roll was bigger than I have seen in years. They had very good flavors and selections. I loved the simple salad and the miso was not bad.
If I am back in the area I would for sure go back. I would love to have a place like this down the street to hit up once a week. Do yourself a favor and try it.

It’s a very nice and calm restaurant, almost chic kind of, but you can still go there in casual with friends or your loved one. The staff there are great and the chef is awesome! In my opinion, the price isn’t too high compared to some very high class restaurant.
