Sushi Shop

There are 26 or more Sushi Shop restaurants in Montréal, and tons more in many other Canadian cities. I’m not sure how this site differs from the others. All I know is, they are everywhere! And nearly every bus that passes has a Sushi Shop ad on its side. There’s no escape!
This was a decent sushi restaurant, albeit quite small, with few tables. I liked how it seemed to be a real neighborhood place, with some young couples coming in, a few singles, an older couple, and us, my family of four. Many folks came here to pick up sushi to go.
The menu is beautiful, and the sushi was artful. We liked the tv screen depicting various menu offerings. All were crafted as if art pieces.
As new diners to this restaurant (or ANY Sushi Shop for that matter), it was very unclear to us how the whole system worked here. The man at the counter beckoned for us to come over there to pick up menus and then he told us to have a seat. We sat at a table by the window and went over the extensive menu. Everything looked so good! And reasonably priced, too. We waited for the guy — or anyone — to come take our order, but nobody did. FInally we approached the counter again, to be told we had to place our order there, pay, and then the food would be brought out to us. Gosh, it wouldn’t been good to know this 15 minutes earlier! At any rate, when the food did arrive, the sushi was fantastic: fresh, beautifully plated, delicious. My ramen soup was a bit of a let-​down, though. Despite the photo presented in the menu, the soup bowl was super small, and the broth was meh. But the sushi was great, and if and when we return, we know to avoid the soups and just order sushi.
