5 Saisons Sushi

One of the best Sushi in town. The staff is very nice & the owner is very present.

They bring you water right away.
It’s a middle class restaurant.
It’s a bring your own wine.
The sushi was really good!
You tick off your choices on a list. But you can also order off a menu.
Very reasonably priced.

Amazing food!
This is by far my favorite sushi joint in MTL. Food is creative and always very very fresh.
Giving it a 5star because I have yet to find a sushi spot in MTL that is Better.
It is however VERY pricey. But for sushi I find spending a little more is worth it the freshness.
The atmosphere in the restaurant is nice, however the lighting is very bright. i find this to be a similar trend to a lot of asian themed restaurants in MTL. They should dim the lights for better vibe.
Bonuses from this spot: they deliver locally! And the japonese dunplings are absolutely amazing. oh. and its Bring your own wine to boot!

Exceptional. Fish was extremely fresh and chefs specials were very impressive. Excellent meal.
Least enjoyed: diamond
Rocky, orchid and poker face were fantastic. The flavors all worked so well together.
Hotate as sweet as in Japan.

Very good restaurant with reasonable prices and excellent service. Went there with friends and had a very good time. Highly recommended.

Plutôt 3 étoiles et demi, je n’ai pas allumé sur le restau, mais j’ai tout de même eu une agréable soirée!
Les plats sont beaux, bien présentés. Comme je l’ai mentionné, je n’ai pas été impressionné par le goût du repas, mais jy retournerai pour faire changement à la routine.
Ma copine et moi avons pris le sashimi de boeuf et les calmars frits. Le plat de résistance: assiette de sushi (ceux aux patates douces, d’autres aux avocados, et aussi, au saumon épicé) et une pizza sushi. L’essemble était bien!
Le service est excellent, nous n’avons pas attendu longtemps malgré qu’il y avait du monde. Le personnel est sourriant et acceuillant.
Soirée agréable sans plus, pour une soirée calme mais qui fait changement de la routine. N’oubliez pas votre vin!

First experienced at this restaurant and I thought it was really nice, well presented, great taste. Prices are comparable to other fine sushi restaurant and I think it is appropriate for what I had. recommended from my experience.

It’s good.

Had great quality when it opened but since the renovations a year or two ago the quality is below average. The selection is limited and most rolls taste identical. You can also expect to be yelling to be heard at your table due to the open layout and popularity with large groups.
The review would be one star but I need to give credit for the service I received.

As per my check-​in.

Eaten here twice. Always gotta give a place a second chance. Both times I have been underwhelmed, especially after receiving such favourable reviews both on Unilocal and by friends.
The meals are average quality with somewhat stale ingredients. The biggest kicker for me is it is relatively expensive for the underwhelming food. Don’t get me wrong nothing wrong with value and I can appreciate a place that charges according to what they serve. This place needs to re-​evaluate somewhat.

Nice interior. Restaurant was slammed so it was a while before we saw our waiter, but we ordered the tempura appetizer and the chef’s choice for 2 and things came out pretty quickly. We were very satisfied.

I didn’t believe my friends when they said this was a major Jew hangout. Sure enough, walking in there, I immediately recognized (not exaggerating) 8 – 10 friends from the Jewish community. Unfortunately, there wasn’t a single on who I actually wanted to see
I worked up quite the bill trying soup, appetizer and main course. The food was good, not great. My sushi, though trendy in appearance, was about the quality you could expect from sushi shop. Even the specialty rolls that cost twice as much didn’t well represent the art form of sushi.
Nice night out, but food itself (all I care about) isn’t worth the money.

Great, crispy tempura. Amazing avocado rolls (we can’t figure out what makes them so great, but they’re unusually good!). Very inventive rolls (my favorite is the «Tropical» which has eel, tempura, mango and cream cheese… you wouldn’t think the flavors meld but it’s wonderful!). Highly recommended and very reasonably priced (as long as you stick to the basic maki rolls; I haven’t yet tried the speciality rolls so can’t comment on them).

This isn’t mind blowing sushi, but it is damn good sushi. 5 saisons also offers fair prices, good service (even when exceptionally busy). It’s also bring your own wine. Can’t get any better than that. The tempura starter was perfect, lots of vegetarian options, and their specials are a serious treat. I loved the c’est clair, be sure to try it. The restaurant itself is well lit, cozy and clean, with simple white table cloths and low-​key décor. There is also a terrasse! I’ll keep this short, but if you’re ever in NDG and are craving sushi, don’t go look any further. It’s a sure bet.

What ever happened to the customer is always right?
I have several life-​threatening allergies that make dining out a challenge at times. I travel with a detailed (bilingual) card outlining all my allergies and always present it to the server before ordering my meal. More often than not, the server will check with the chef before I order and I am presented with options.
5 Saisons WAS one of my favourite local restaurants and I have eaten there many many times. Up till now. Last night, we ordered the same dishes we always do — and were shocked!
My meal came visibly swimming in allergens. Thankfully, I noticed and the plate was returned to the kitchen. The next attempt was equally poisonous. The waiter acted put out and aggravated and even asked if it was a bad allergy! (We told him I stop breathing within minutes!)
When we complained about the issue — one of food safety — it was very rudely pointed out to us that we got our food, so the problem was solved. I spoke to the manager who told me to do whatever I want. So I am!
Food allergies are serious. THey are not food preferences. Those of us who live with the risk of anaphylaxis understand it is a risk and inconvenient and make our choices carefully. We inspect our food before ingesting. We understand that mistakes happen. But we should not be forced to accept rude, poor and dangerous service.
I understand the restaurant business is difficult and that picky eaters are unpleasant to deal with but I still do remember a day when the customer was right.

Amazing. the experience as well as the food was great. This place burned down and just reopened so we went in for a try.
the salmon and tuna sashimi was very good. it had just the right amount of fat on it.
they have a lot of unconventional types of sushi we tried the sushi pizza it was little bits a sashimi over a tempura rice. very good.

While hunting down a decent meal the other night, my boyfriend and I decided it was time we give fairly new restaurant in our area a try. 5 Saisons Sushi opened a little more than a year ago and we have often thought about eating there, however, on our budget Japanese would be too expensive! On this particular evening, we were ready for a small splurge and took the plunge.
After sampling a couple of appetizers and a belly-​busting assortment of sushi, I am now convinced that this it is one of Montréal’s most authentic Japanese restaurants.
While their menu has a large variety of sushi and sashimi choices, the rest of the menu is fairly focused on Japanese cuisine, so you will not find General Tao on the menu beside their Wakame salad. Each dish is presented simply and elegantly with a shot glass containing a fresh edible orchid and some other decorative and edible garnishes, secured in place with a dab of freshly made wasabi.
5 Saisons Sushi offers three different types of tuna in their sashimi menu, Maguro (your typical red tuna), Hamachi (farmed yellowtail) and Albacore (white tuna). Many of their rolls are served with shiso leaf (a mint-​meets-​fennel-​like herb), which is not your garden variety sushi ingredient. What’s more, their ginger is yellow (not pink), which means that it has not been artificially colored with beet juice. Finally, they served a homemade Ponzu sauce with our order of soft shelled crab.
While delving into our delicious first appetizer, I suddenly had a craving for Buri-​Kama. Buri Kama is a salt-​grilled yellowtail collar, and is spectacularly succulent. I knew it was a long shot, but the waitress returned and offered me Hamachi Kama (still yellowtail, but farmed rather than wild). That is an awesome accommodation, and I readily accepted. My boyfriend had never savored this dish and I was eager to see what he thought of it.
When the Hamachi Kama arrived 15 minutes later, it was everything I had been craving and then some. The flavor is all yellowtail, but somehow sweeter and more buttery.
5 Saisons selection offers a unique, but not «trendy», selection of maki rolls and chef specialty rolls, and this sets them apart from many of the other sushi restaurants I have been to. They offer several combination plates, as well as a cooked combo for beginners who are not ready for raw fish.
We sampled the Honey roll (shrimps, tempura, avocado and sweet potato); the Chocotuna (white tuna sashimi garnished with fresh mango and grilled garlic); the Deep Sea roll (eel, tobiko, mango, shrimp and pepper); and the Rocky, which was probably the best tasting maki we’ve had in a long time (fresh spicy salmon, grilled salmon, avocado, shiso leaf and tempura). With this we also had orders of the Spicy Tekkie (tuna), a Hotate Dynamite (spicy scallops), and an assortment of sashimi.
We finished off our meal with a pot of Genmai-​cha tea. This meal could have easily filled 3 or 4 people, so we were pleasantly surprised when the tally arrived! Appetizers, and over 40 pieces of sushi came to just a hint over 90 $. While the outward appearance of 5 Saisons restaurant may not give the impression of a must do restaurant: the nondescript building could be just about anything, in fact, I believe it housed a daycare at one point: the quality of the food and the excellent service will definitely have you talking about your next visit.
5 Saisons Sushi is located at 5594 A Sherbrooke West just west of Decarie. Monday to Friday they are open for lunch from 11AM until 2:30PM, and 7 days a week for supper from 5PM until at least 9:30PM. The restaurant does not have a liquor license, but welcomes diners to bring their own wine and they do not charge an uncorking fee.

5 Saisons was one of the best sushi experiences that I ever had. I live in New York and actually spent two weeks in Tokyo earlier this year, so I have «high standards.» My girlfriend who is Korean was feeling homesick and so we went looking for Korean food one night while in Montréal. We couldn’t find any place that was open but saw 5 Saisons, which has a somewhat striking exterior — like a house set back from the street.
First, the rolls with soy paper wrap (or something like that) and the chef’s special sauce — were amazing.
Then, the shrimp and vegetable tempura was delicious and more than plentiful.
We are back in New York, and still talking about this place. I actually want to return to Montréal just to eat here, at least every other day.
One plus is also that it’s BYO.
