Reviews for YEN CUISINE JAPONAISE in Montréal, QC
My husband and I came here for our anniversary, as we saw someone with food from here and we thought it looked good and wanted... to try. To begin, the presentation was indeed very beautiful and aesthetic, which is what drew us to this place initially.However, looks can be deceiving. The food was incredibly mediocre, and the price point for everything made it seem even worsethan it was because of the high expectations we had. We ordered one sushi roll, one poke bowl, one salmon bowl, and thetempura. The sushi roll was a whopping $18 for 6 pieces and it was some of the most average sushi I’ve ever had. The poke bowlwas dull and lacked so much in flavour. I’ve had better poke bowls at millions of other places for cheaper. The salmon bowlwas very small, and very sad. The salmon itself was nothing special. The tempura was half batter, which you would not expectfrom a place that is supposed to be a little bit more refined. The service was not much better either. Absolutely all the tablessurrounding ours were dirty with half eaten food still on the table the entire time. As a matter of fact ALL tables were dirtywith fruit flies all over the leftovers. They just don’t clean them when it’s close to their 2:30-4 break, even though wecame around 1:30 pm, so the atmosphere was just horrible and disappointing. Overall, the food lacks in flavour and depth,it’s not innovative for the price point, the ingredients are nothing out of the ordinary, and nothing stood out. Save yourtime and money and go somewhere cheaper that will offer tastier food with better service. Read more
This restaurant has become one of my favorite sushi spots in downtown. The quality is excellent with a huge variety of dishes to... chose from. I was really impressed by everything we got. We were a group of 7 and service was really attentive on our end.We’ll definitely be back ! Read more
Pretty good! Sushi was fresh and delicious. Gyudon is atypical, they had steaks in there instead of the usual thin beef but... still really good. Service is great. The only thing I would say is the rolls are quite expensive, almost double the price ofother sushi places. I ordered two rolls and the bill was like 50$ Read more
I thought all the food there was of good quality. The fried chicken appetizer we had was so tasty and crispy and had a great... spicy mayo sauce on the side. All the food looked and tasted pretty good. Our server was very helpful and funny. Overall it wasa good experience. Read more
The food was quite good and tasty. The seafood tasted fresh and the broths were flavourful. Would have been an easy 4 or 5 star... had it not been for the service. One of our friends never got her order of noodles until the end and it came with the wrongtoppings. Then, it took us over half an hour to pay as the front desk originally got the orders messed up and had only onemachine. I don’t think I’ll return because of this as it made some of my friends late for their appointments after lunch. Read more
Friendly service and beautiful presentation. The seating have good privacy. The portions are large so you'll definitely be full... after one bowl of noodles. Chairs could be a bit more comfy, otherwise a very nice experience. Read more
I recommend this place. I went here on a Tuesday noon for lunch. We did not have a reservation yet our party of three was... promptly seated. The ambiance of the restaurant was very good. We ordered an array: sushi, tempura, rice bowls, noodle bowls,etc. The food was quick to arrive. The food was delicious and flavourful. The staff were polite and attentive. If you're cravingfor Japanese food, this is a solid choice. I recommend this place. Read more
I went there for my sister's birthday. The presentation of food was beautiful and it was delicious specially the Nori... Barachirashi. We got our food quite fast (we went there on a Tuesday night). The vibe was pleasant. It was a bit pricey, but Iwould come back to try other stuff on the menu! Read more
