Restaurant Sho-dan

We recently had a positive experience at Sho Dan Sushi in Montreal. After a day of Browse the fantastic boutiques and shops nearby, it was the perfect place to unwind and grab a bite. The sushi was fresh, with a beautiful, clean flavor, and the staff were very friendly, which made the whole experience even better. It’s a great spot for anyone looking for delicious, high-quality sushi and excellent service, especially when you’re in the mood for a shopping break.

Swanky sushi place with upscale ambiance and attentive wait staff. The two specialty rolls we had (Adam and Black Dragon) were exceptional and creative. However, the edamame was overcooked and the non-specialty rolls were bland tasting, though beautiful looking. Stick to the specialty rolls and you'll have an exceptional meal!

This was fantastic. The quality and craftsmanship of everything we had was over the top. The least amazing dish was the gyoza, which was still good.

Delightful sushi, amazingly fresh fish, original flavours and textures— definitely some of the best sushi in the city. Yes the price is steep, but it is reflected in the quality and quantity of the fish, beautiful presentation, and great service.

Once inside Sho-Dan, I found myself underwhelmed by the overall atmosphere. The décor lacks character, with plain white tablecloths and a lack of any distinctive features. Instead of exuding a sushi restaurant ambiance, it feels more like an upscale Italian establishment catering to an older demographic. Unfortunately, my initial impression fell short of excitement. However, my disappointment took a turn when we decided to sample a variety of items from the menu. The sushi exceeded expectations, boasting a delightful freshness and appealing presentation. Accompanied by flavorful sauces, the culinary experience was elevated. The house drinks were also noteworthy, adding a positive note to our dining experience. While the staff exhibited kindness, there was a slight lack of enthusiasm, though the service remained decent. In conclusion, it's a venue worth considering if you're seeking exceptionally good sushi. The culinary delights outweigh the lackluster ambiance, making it a destination for sushi enthusiasts.

Very nice place and very welcoming !! Perfect for a first date in my opinion if he or she loves sushi, cause I loved it 5 years ago when my now husband brought me there ;) and it's always nice to go back now. The quality is still fantastic and the people are nice. I recommend !!! For sure getting back soon :))

I have been going to Sho-dan for 25 years. The food is always amazing, the atmosphere is great and the service exceptional. Our Mont Blanc masterpiece by Davina pictured below. Other musts are the sushi pizza, beef sashimi, gyoza and of course all sushi is delicious. Thank you for your hospitality throughout the years.
