Kazumi Sushi Lounge

Every bite makes you say OMG... 😊 Beautiful presentation, very friendly and helpful staff. I absolutely love this place. Worth a try!

We reserved for a valentine dinner. First, we arrived on time for our reservation but to find a line up for both take-out and reservation holders. Things were quite hectic and unorganized, finally got to our table 20 mins later. Not a good start, then the fixed menu was pretty disapointing for 100$ per person. We would qualify this restaurant as japanese inspired fusion cuisine nothing like traditional japanese cuisine. The miso soup was uninspiring and taste like any ordinary miso found elsewhere. The 4 other courses were also quite average. Too much teriyaki sauce, too much mayo based sauce, and too much rice. The only good thing is the ingredients such as tuna, scallop and a5 wagyu were fresh. However, these ingredients are easily to get at the specialized stores. Overall, the experience was not a memorable one and would not warrant to go back. Also tables were too close to each other that you can basically hear everyone conversation and it was a journey trying to get to the rest room. And most important point, wifey was disapointed of this night out.

Presentation, service level and quality of ingredients were very high. Ambiance was also stylish and chic. However my point of criticism would be the over-reliance on a sweet brown sauce and tempura. Four of the six courses had these elements. Too much sweetness and fat can be overwhelming to the palate and the stomach. I wish the chefs had balanced these elements against other flavours more carefully. We had ordered the OMAKASÉ II.

Fantastic food, super service, & appealing ambiance.

I recommend you to try this sushi restaurant, the food is very fresh and the decoration is extremely beautiful, I came here for the first time and will definitely come back, the staff here are very friendly, if you are looking for a place to date or have a romantic dinner, don't miss it 🥰

Best sushi restaurant in town. Give it try you won't be disappointed. Fusion style with a fresh original spin on every dish, both artistic and tasty.

A Culinary Masterpiece! Kazumi is more than just a restaurant; it’s an experience that transcends the ordinary. My history with this gem dates back to 2017, and since then, it has become a cornerstone of our culinary adventures. Each visit reaffirms our belief that Kazumi is a standout not only in Montreal but perhaps among the finest sushi restaurants worldwide. The chef’s boundless creativity and mastery in blending unique flavors create a dining experience that feels unparalleled. We had the pleasure of dining there again yesterday, and as always, our expectations were exceeded. From the moment we were warmly greeted, the service was flawless. Within minutes, we were comfortably seated, served water and green tea, and even provided with a bucket of ice to ensure our wine stayed perfectly chilled—a thoughtful touch that exemplifies their attention to detail. As longtime fans, we once again chose the chef’s tasting menu, which has never failed to amaze us. This time, however, the experience was nothing short of extraordinary. The creations presented were so innovative, so meticulously crafted, that we firmly believe the chef is deserving of a Michelin star. Every dish was a testament to his commitment to excellence. The ingredients were of impeccable quality—fresh, vibrant, and perfectly balanced. Each plate arrived at the ideal temperature and was accompanied by a detailed explanation of its composition, along with recommendations on how to savor it fully. Watching the chefs work their magic just meters from our table added a captivating layer to the evening, turning the meal into a performance as much as a feast. One standout moment was witnessing the chef carefully shave fresh black truffle over a beautifully baked oyster, a masterpiece both in presentation and taste. It was a sensory experience that delighted not just our palates but also our eyes and minds. The ambiance at Kazumi is warm and inviting, striking the perfect balance between cozy intimacy and open transparency, allowing guests to feel connected to the artistry happening in the kitchen. Each dish is crafted with such precision and passion that it’s impossible not to be awestruck. This recent visit reaffirmed what we’ve always known: Kazumi is a culinary treasure. The chef’s tasting menu showcased his unparalleled talent and artistic vision, leaving us with memories that will linger long after the last bite. We’re already counting down the days until our next visit, and we can only hope Michelin takes notice of this exquisite haven.

As a sushi lover , especially sashimis, you can't go wrong with kazumi. Myself I ve worked in many sushis restaurants and kazumi is at another level !!!!!! Kazumi is Japan in mtl, the fish are fresh , the presentation is beautiful 😍 , for all sashimis lovers , this is THE PLACE!!!!!!

I don't know why I liked it do much but I did. Was it the 4 bottles of wine because its a BYOW, the presence of old classmates or the outstanding food. We decided to go off menu and let the chef dictate the meal. I ate sea urchin for the first time, delicious! The grilled eel was spectacular. They're not cheap but this is excellent sushi.

I really had high hopes for this place...... Very extremely slow service. I did tell them to take their time but 30-45 minutes between each service is stretching it. My tablecloth was super damp and when my husband accidentally poured the wine over the glass, it got worse. Instead of really helping us out, the waitress only put a small piece of fabric over to absorb it and left!!! We had to insist to change table, which she got annoyed with. Plus, she didn't set up the other table correctly. We had to flag down the runner for assistance. Onto the food. So we got the omakase for 2 - 110$. DON'T DO IT! Thinking it was going to be super diverse, it wasn't. Service 1: miso soup with 1 tiny piece of tiny scallop, 1 tiny piece of salmon and a decent sized shrimp. It was bland. Service 2: octopus salad. It was ok. Service 3: SALMON tartar on some fried leaf. I can't say if it was perilla because I didn't taste it. Service 4: torched SALMON tataki style. It was bleh. The waitress said that it would be a variety of sashimi. Well I guess she didn't get the memo! Service 5: SALMON kamikaze with tuna on top. It was ok. Service 6: Shrimp tempura roll with SALMON. No fresh wasabi anywhere like they so proudly display on their Instagram. *And notice how it's all salmon??? We were better off eating a few doors down at Boustan. The mix platter would of been way better!!! It was a complete disaster. It was a shit show. Would I go back? NOPE. Do I recommend this place? OH GOD NO. What a waste of money.

Fish was super fresh and everything was really well put together. It's a regular sushi place and at the time of writing, they don't have a huge selection of fish but for what it is, I'd come here again.

I've been to this heavily restaurant 7 times! I wish I can go back more often! The food is just amazing! I have to say, best salmon tartare in Montreal! Always love their specials! Their attention to details to very single plate is sublime. Everything is amazing. Always crowded and busy but it's worth the wait.

Great place original sushi Dishes are beautiful to see .... lots of work and effort put in to it .!!! Being an BYOW ... makes it an ever better place .!!! Its definitely one of the best sushis i have ever tried .!!!! Service is great and the stuff very friendly .!!! Definitely worth the price

One of the best sushi restaurants in Montreal! The best part is that it's a byow. Service is friendly and the good is delicious. The only thing is that food might come out pretty slow. Not good for you if you are starving, in a hurry to eat or time limited. A meal typically takes at least 2 hours there.

My favourite to-go sushi place in Montreal!! The owner Thang D. is really sweet and welcoming. The waiters give a really good service. We put down our glass of water and someone is already there pouring in some more water!! I went here with a group of 18 people on September 24th 2016, and we all got served and left within 3 hours to go on our karaoke night. I highly recommend the lobster roll again, it's really my favourite. Since it was birthday, I took the liberty to choose the chef suggestions (I can't tell you which rolls I had, but I have pictures of a few). Again, the BYOW with the SAQ that is 30 seconds walking distance is really a + !! And I love their chocolate/Nutella fried bites with the ice cream, it's really amazing. They mad me a Bday greeting on my desert (offered by the restaurant). I recommend to reserve for Thursdays, Fridays and Saturdays !! It gets busy really quickly. *** I forgot to mention!! I saw Veronique Cloutier and her husband as well as her sister and her husband here last year! Hehe

It was my first time and I love the vibe of Kazumi sushi lounge. To hangout with your friend or other its nice. You.can bring your alcohol the SAQ just beside. You have so many choice and option of eating combo or no you found what you can pay for it. Better if you reserved first because its always full...

Very good. The presentation of food is excellent, although in my preference I like to taste less the sauce and more the seafood. I love the scallop even if it's around $20 each. Very satisfied, service is excellent; the waiter present each of your food in a very professional aka fancy-like. Also major key is that you can bring your own wine!!

After reading all if the reviews I had high hopes for this place, and they didn't disappoint. We started with a house salad and Miso soup accompanied by the Spicy octopus salad. These 3 dishes were honestly under-whelming. The Miso soup was plain and uninspired as were both salads. Once this course was over everything got much better. The Salmon Tartar was fantastic...spicy and rich with great textures served with rice cakes. This was followed by an assortment of sashimi and rolls that are the basics that you would expect from a high end sushi restaurant. The final course had 2 specialty rolls including a lobster roll and a strawberry-scallop-shrimp roll. The 2nd roll was exceptional in its sweet mixture of flavours. All in all well worth the time and money.

Ordered the miso soup, chef special salad, heritage, fruita, and fantacy soya paper rolls.The salad is pretty refreshing, nice, and the miso soup is creative and good too. The heritage roll is pretty good and creative, but the other two are kind of disappointing, not recommended at all. The environment is pretty nice and the waiter is very nice too. Everyone speaks French as the first language, but they understand English as well.

Love, love, love Kazumi! I've been going since they first opened. Let me tell you that they are always consistent and food NEVER disappoints. The food is always fresh and tastes so good. You have to try all the specialties on their menu! Everything is so exquisite. I love their salmon tartare, it's to die for and no other restaurant beats Kazumi for their tartare!!! They have fresh unis from time to time and they're super huge! This place gets crowded very fast, i suggest you reserve a few days in advanced to avoid disappointment. Do not come to eat here if you are in a rush. They take their sweet time to make sure everything is perfect. Do not forget to BYOB! There's an SAQ right next to the resto, which is pretty convenient! Try the "mille feuille glacé & ecstase au chocolat" for desert! Mouth watering!!!

Fantastic sushi restaurant. Let's start: The decor and ambience is great for either dates and group gatherings. The service is very friendly and the owner is a pleasure to meet. As for the food, you have to try it for yourself. Go for the speciality sushis and I always go for my standard tuna and salmon makis. A big plus: it's bring your own wine and the a SAQ (liquor store) right next door. Convenient and well located. Must try.

The best Sushi that I have ever had. Try the Chef Menu. It is amazing, each dish is different and awesome. The fish is so fresh. Don't forget to bring your wine. There is a SAQ just beside.

I was agreeably surprised by this restaurant and happy to find this rare gem in a neighborhood that doesn't have that many good dinner spots. Nice decor, fun ambiance, BYOB, good service and excellent food! What else could I ask? Moreover, for the quality of food that you get and the fact that you can bring your own wine, the prices are extremely reasonable. I will definitely be back!

Really great sushi, fresh and tasty! Service was a little slow but we were in no rush. The places are beautifully represented (salmon tartare). I will definitely go back!

Took take-out. The sushi was extremely good and fresh, the price is more than fair and the inside of the restaurant looked pretty fancy, it's also bring your own wine if you eat inside!

Amazing place if you want to try fresh and original sushi. They also make different meals with fish of the day, sea food, etc. The presentation of the food is incredible, the staff is also really nice. This place is worth the price!

This is a great little sushi place in the east end. Tucked away in a strip mall the sushi here is delicious. I had the Kazumi II option which gives you a chance to try a little bit of everything. The soup was a miso broth loaded with different kinds of seafood like shrimps and scallops and was excellent. There was also chicken teriyaki and sushi both of which were outstanding. The service isn't the greatest and hence why I docked the star. The last time I went they forgot to bring stuff we'd ordered and overall they were a little on the slow side. It is still worth the visit. Be sure to make reservations though as it can be quite crowded especially on a weekend. also note that it's a BYOB. If you forget to bring wine there is a SAQ Express right next to it.

Small but good Sushi restaurant. I had the "Fantasi" 8 pcs with raw Tuna on top. Very good and different since it has no seaweed paper. They also of course have a regular Sushi and Sashimi menu where you can choose "a la carte". I also took the Shrimp tempura. The tempura appetizer was excellent, batter was light and crispy, not over cooked or mushy like some places. If you are over 6 people, it might be tough to get a seat as the restaurant isn't that large. The restaurant is only 2 blocks from Langelier metro station, parking lot is crowded because of Jean Coutu, but I've seen way smaller than this.

So far the best sushi I've had the honour of eating here in Montreal. Rolled well and with great flavours. My tuna steak was also good (and gone within 0.10sec). Prices are very reasonable, 2 people $65 (tip excluded), and we ate a lot: gyoza, 3 rolls, 2 ebi, 2 ama ebi, and the tuna steak. The only reason this place doesn't get 5 stars is because of the really long wait in between dishes. If you're in a hurry: don't go here, but if you want a nice long evening out with some amazing sushi: do go here. And bring some wine -wink wink-

Great byob.. they offer a good selection of rolls and Japanese/fusion type dishes. Their signature rolls are always a hit

Food is awesome; fresh, delicious, and artfully displayed. However, the service is slow and erratic. Avoid Saturday nights and big groups (I did both). Also, parking is difficult.

Went with a big group for a birthday party. Most of the group had a special chefs menu, I went a la carte as I'm majorly pregnant. I ordered a sushi roll off the chefs specialties list, seaweed salad, soba noodle with black cod and the tempura dessert. I should mention that this is a byow joint and a few doors down is an saq. Awesome... If I weren't pregnant :) I loved my soba noodles with black cod. The fish is fresh, perfectly cooked and melts in your mouth. I forget the name of my sushi roll but it was the only one with grilled eel and no raw fish. They weren't stingy on the eel. It was lovely on eyes and on my taste buds. My seaweed salad had some caviar, that's probably a no-no for me but I love seaweed salad and this one didn't disappoint! Last but definitely not least was my super delicious tempura dessert, hazelnut chocolate tempura with fruits and vanilla ice cream. The ice cream and fruit balanced out the richness from the tempura. The resto is definitely pricier then the usual kanda/all you can eat sushi joint but I can see why. The dishes are fresh, immaculately made and presented. Would go again for a special occasion. Especially when I can take advantage of the saq next door. The place was packed the whole night. I think reservations would be in order.

So I called for reservations for a Friday night, all was confirmed but once I got there the table wasn't ready. Host says how its gonna be 10-15 mins, which is normal considering it was a packed house. 30 mins later and still no table, at this point the host didn't seem to know what he was doing, tables were freeing up but I was never called to be seated. After 45 mins of waiting I had enough, told the host we were leaving and the wait was ridiculous considering we had reserved a table. Basically he didn't seem to care and just let us go...bottom line don't go there...they don't know how to hold a reservation and service from the host was non existent.

AMAZING FOOD, AMAZING SERVICE Although expensive, Kazumi is all around great. We had 6 plates from the chef's recommendation; the portions were small, but the quality was amazing. The presentation was very unique, candles in my food, various foods in wine glasses which were held to the plate with wasabi. How it looked really lived up to it's taste. The dessert was to DIE-FOR! It was so amazing, and I am very picky about my desserts. We had banana with a sauce and peanuts which does not sound appetizing but was just great, a green tea crème brûlée which was a bit too bitter, and a vanilla icecream with small waffles with a chocolate filling which was ABSOLUTELY delicious! (I am drooling as I write this review.) The setting is modern and dark. With candles on your table, really gives off a rather intimate vibe! The staff were patient, informative, attentive, and very sweet. 5 stars for me- it would be truly 5 stars if it weren't for the long waits for your food to get delivered. But if you're willing to spend extra money, Kazumi would be my top recommendation!

Went there for the first time last night and I really enjoyed it. We ordered different kind of sushi and they're all delicious and fresh. Our waiters were very kind and helped us with the choices and we were very pleased. The wait was long but at the end it worth it. I'll go back for sure.

Wow GREAT sushi place. Came to that place couple of times already. For the prices you pay you get awesome food and great service. Recommend to reserve in advance as this place was packed. I had to wait and even then only place available was at the bar. Definitely recommended place.

Good food but poor customer service. I called twice on a Friday to order take out and I was place on hold and then disconnected . When I called back was placed on hold again then nobody came on the line . I finally hung up called back and got voicemail. I could never place an order. Had dinner there as well and service is very long . It is very loud and pricey for quality . Will never go there again .

Great sushi place. You have to chose your days if you want to have a chance to get a nice table but the food is great. After going there a few times, I still believe that their sushi's are one of the best in town. Fresh and tasteful are the words that come to my mind when I have to describe the restaurant. Prices aren't the kindest to your wallet but it's worth the experience!

Decent, bit far from the best sushi in MTL. A bit overpriced for the level of quality you get, and also quite noisy.
