Why Concert-goers love it

Quick service and flavor-packed dishes make Takumi an ideal pre-show stop.

What People Say

Reviewers on TripAdvisor praise the freshness of the fish and the creative roll combinations. Many mention the attentive and friendly service, even during busier times. The cozy ambiance and reasonable pricing make it a standout option among Montreal’s sushi spots. OpenTable users often highlight the excellent value and note it’s a hidden gem that's worth discovering.

Areas for Improvement

The restaurant is on the smaller side, so it can fill up quickly—especially on weekends or before big events. Reservations are a good idea, and if you're in a large group, be prepared for a slightly longer wait. Also, while the decor is stylish, it’s not flashy—those seeking an ultra-upscale vibe might find it a bit too casual.

The Bottom Line

Takumi Sushi is a delicious, affordable, and conveniently located spot that hits all the right notes for concert-goers looking to fuel up on fresh sushi before the show.
