This downtown Montreal restaurant is chic, lounge music piped through to complete their "chicness". They were busy that Friday, with most table and sushi bar seating filled. (Speaking of bars, I had a glass of white, and tried a tasty lycheetini.) The highlight of Sho-dan's arsenal is their assortment of specialty "concept" rolls which can be extreme in presentation, and atypical in taste, even to the most seasoned sushi ranger. My friends are Japanese restaurant enthusiasts and loved the quality of cuisine, from the tempura, to the slices of raw goodness, down to the perfectly matching sauces for each dish. Don't forget to get dessert sushi - the mango one is amazing. Dinner at Sho-dan blew my MIND. Be warned, prices are higher than average, but it's worth splurging for, just this once. (Credit cards accepted.)

Why can't we have sushi this good in Ottawa?…read more I almost NEVER go out for sushi in Ottawa because, like most of the Chinese food, it fucking sucks here. As someone who lived on the West Coast for 10 years, I cannot and WILL NOT give anyone 5 stars for their sushi unless it was just caught that day. Sho-Dan was VERY close to achieving the impossible - a 5 star sushi in landlocked Eastern Ontario. This place was fantastic service, high high quality fish, superb rolls, perfectly timed delivery to the bar where we sat.... Delicious cold sake and beer to accompany. I think the bill came out to $160 for the 2 of us (I didn't pay) but we left very full and content. Unfortunately, I cannot remember what we ordered (was a boozy night afterwards)....but 100% certain that I will recommend and be back.

We have ordered 4 times from them so far and sushi has been so delicious and fresh every single time The one we have been to is the location in Laval, very nice staff When we went the first time they suggested there most popular Sushis which are King of Sea and Harmonie which were really good, they do have a few tables and chairs where you can sit down and eat.

Great selection... so much to choose from. I don't think you will be disappointed. So tasty, fresh seafood. Lots of platters to choose from.

Had some Ika sashimi and instead of serving it with just a bit of lime, it came with a mix of mayonnaise like sauce. It hid the natural sweetness of the calamari. The unagi also had tons of sesame seeds on top which I thought was not necessary. Food was good but not wow. I think there are better options in the South Shore.

This place gives you the opportunity to have sushi for takeout without crossing the bridge to Montreal for delicious sushi. I called on a Saturday at around 3:45 and had the food in my trunk by 5:30. No contact, just a super friendly service from a cool man (probably the manager or owner) that brings your order to your trunk. Needles to say that once dining in will be allowed, I will make it a must.

This review is more so a thank you to Sammy. It was our…read morefirst day - we crossed the border from Vermont. We decided to come here for a late lunch, early dinner. The ramen was delicious. The ambiance was fantastiic. The service was golden. After we paid the check we walked out to find one of windows on our rental smashed and things in the vehicle were stolen. Not only did Sammy walk out of the restaurant to help us, he called the police for us because we don't speak French. While waiting for the security guard and police to arrive. They allowed us to stay in the restaurant to stay warm. (the thief took our warm jackets that we left in the car) The entire staff kept us informed when the police called the restaurant back. So from the bottom of our hearts. Thank you for being so kind during the worst night.

We showed up on time for our reservation. The restaurant is dark, and sleek looking, so it could be a place for dinner or for drinks at the bar. We browsed the menu, and decided to go light and ended up trying the the following: - Edamame (with Furakake): Good. Soy beans can only be so different between restaurants. I will note that some of the soy beans we got were the biggest I've even seen. Furakake added needed flavour. - Avocado Truffle Tacos: OK. Quite tiny, but well made and tasted good. I didn't get any hint of truffle though. - Wagyu Dumplings: Good. But similar to any good quality non-wagyu dumpling I've had before. Overpriced. - Paradise Maki: Good. I like the texture of the tempura. - White Dragon Maki: Very good. I think the ponzu sauce elevates this dish another level. Service was pretty standard. Did all the tight things, and timely, but not particularly friendly. Overall, it was an OK visit. Food overall was generally good quality, but very expensive for the quality and quantity you get. But I also recognize that sometimes you pay for ambiance, and you certainly do here.

And, you won't break the bank either. Our Chirashi Don consisted of some pretty exotic fish including King Salmon, Blue Fin Tuna and Hamachi (Yellow Tail). Nice presentation, with the slices of fish enveloping a bed of minced salmon and rice. It was a lot more filling then it appeared. The Salmon Yaki included a large serving of fresh salmon and a bowl of rice. This isn't the dry, overcooked salmon you'd get at the food court. The dish also included sauteed mushrooms and zucchini wedges. Salmon was so soft and moist. Wonderful choice if you are hungry. If after your meal, of you are still hungry but running low on cash, you will be pleased to know that there is a Poke Bowl place next door.

When seated we were changed to the counter seating, because we picked Omakase option. Our evening centered around the Omakase 5 option, which not only allowed us to sample some of the chef's creations but also provided a front-row view at the counter to witness the preparation of each course. The Omakase 5 included two appetizers, a main course, 10 pieces of sushi, and a dessert--a generous and fulfilling selection that left us full and content. A standout dish was the fish consommé, a clear, delicate broth cooked over six hours and served piping hot. The chef guided us to dip each sushi piece halfway into the broth, balancing between warmth and the sushi's coolness. The heavily vinegared rice, when paired with the rich consommé, created a beautiful contrast of flavors, temperature and textures. The sushi course was equally remarkable, presenting ten pieces, each with a small mound of rice topped by a thick, fresh slice of fish. Two King salmon pieces--one marinated for eight hours and the other served raw--showcased the nuanced ways salmon can be enjoyed. The selection of tuna varieties (big-eyed, yellowfin, bluefin, and fatty tuna) provided a spectrum of flavors, each distinct and satisfying. Scallops, shrimp, sea urchin, and eel followed, rounding out a "parade of fish" that captured the freshness and diversity of the ocean. Our meal concluded with a cheesecake dessert, a sweet and light finish that topped off an excellent evening.

I heard some good things about this place, how it's one of the more authentic japanese restos in montreal. I went with 2 other people and it was a bit hectic, i felt bad for the waitress as she was rushing between tables so service was a bit lacking. We had to wait for quite some time. We ordered a few items. The food looked good but was quite pricey. The sunomono wasnt really what we were expecting, it was some sort of noodley cold dish and not a salad. The sashimi was good and fresh and the sushi was well prepared. But it wasn't really extraordinary and it was relatively expensive. Because of the price to quality ratio and the lack of service, i dont think I'd come back anytime soon.
