Sushi Crystal

In Montréal sushi buffet give 4 stars. But lower than toronto average taste. Want a full belly eat, not for people who want really taste of Japanese style.

The place looks phenomenal (luster and waterfall) and with the modern feeling with the tablet its just a dream come true for sushi lovers. Althought we didn’t get good seats, the staff are nice and friendly we laughed over the waiter calling us by the shirt we wore and made jokes about it. the meals were amazing specially the steak and general tao.

Agghhhh! It’s so frustrating when one person ruins an entire experience but here goes:
I’ve been to Sushi Crystal 3 times now and had I written my review the first two times, I would have rated it 5 stars. However, after my last visit, I’ve had to knock down several stars. Here’s the story:
First visit: Early November. Excellent service and amazing food. Zero complaints
Second Visit: Early December. Same as before. Decided that this would be my new go-​to AYCE sushi place
Third visit: This past weekend. I went with 4 other people and we placed our order shortly after being seated. It was a Saturday night and the service was very slow despite the restaurant not being at capacity. We realized after the first hour that they did not bring out all our food but had come out to ask us if we were ready to leave. At this point, we mentioned the missing items, and our unhappy server said that he would look into it. No food came.
So, we did what any normal person would do and placed a second order. Our server reacted to this with a pretty bad attitude and was shaking his head. We couldn’t figure out the problem but assumed that he thought we were ordering too much food (our first order was barely anything past normal size-​wise). From here on onwards the service to our table in particular slowed down immensely. Our server also asked us at least once more if we were ready to pay and was displeased when we said no.
Also, after placing this order, the server didn’t reset our tablets (you order your food off a tablet btw! Super cool) so we could place another order which confirmed our suspicions that he didn’t want to bring out any more food. We had to ask different servers and even the manager to unlock the tablet so that we could place orders for ice cream twice.
All in all, despite the food being amazing, we were not able to enjoy our time at Sushi Crystal due to the bad attitude of our server. I’m really not 100% sure what the problem was till now because if I think back, we truly didn’t order that much…
Anyhow, with all this being said, I don’t want to say that I won’t be back because the food is very good. I’d like to think of this as an isolated incident and will try to return once more hoping for the excellent service I had twice before. But for now, 3 stars Sushi Crystal! :(

This was a really fantastic AYCE sushi restaurant and I sincerely wish they had a location in Ottawa as it would quickly become my new favourite spot. I’ve been hesitant to try a new sushi place in Montréal as my previous experience with a different AYCE sushi restaurant had been quite poor. But I am definitely glad that I stumbled upon this little gem.
The interior is decorated beautifully with a giant crystal ceiling that changes colours. They had giant round tables and comfortable leather circular booths which were spacious and impressive. Service was excellent — our servers were attentive, they brought out our food promptly and made sure that we weren’t missing any items. I never had to flag a server down to have my water replenished as someone was always around to do so.
They have a vast selection of food that includes sushi and a variety of kitchen items. Everything that we tasted was delicious and beautifully presented. I was not disappointed with any of the items we ate. The iPad menu is extremely useful and makes the ordering process painless and simple.
REALLY impressed. Will absolutely be back for sure the next time that I visit the city.

Best Buffet sushi experience in Montréal so far.
I went with a few friends.
Surprised by the iPad touch screen order system.
Lots of options of sushi, dishes, appetizers, etc.
When the order is made, it sends it immediately to the waiter. They bring us a print version to keep track of orders. Amazing. Minimum things most buffet sushi can’t do.
My favourite dish was the teriyaki salmon. It’s just too good for the price you pay ;’(
Tartare beef salad was amazing.
The quality of the food compare to the average sushi buffet is great.
Ambiance really relaxed. Good place to bring someone on a date.
They also have «Moon» chair for couples at the front. Good experience.
Food quality is great. Environment is great. Good customer service.
No complain.
Strongly recommend

I think this might be the best sushi place I have ever been to in Montréal. The food comes in fast and you order it with tablets! What kind of annoyed me was that they only played Ariana Grande songs…

Legit the best sushi place in Montréal. Not even a joke, it’s amazing. The selection of salads and the array of different rolls while at the same time maintaining a 5 star quality of service had me in awe. The mango salmon roll was by far my favourite, and the crab tartar, yum!
For a drink I seriously recommend the lychee blueberry sangria. The waitress was so lovely in asking us for our taste and what we normally enjoy and suggested that drink, so impressed. So sweet and no taste of alcohol. It was divine.
Favourite place for sure :)

The best all-​you-​can-​eat sushi place in the city. Lots of options, speedy/​friendly service, tablets with pictures to make ordering quick and easy. Highly recommended!

J’avais vraiment le goût de sushi! Mais malheureusement l’hôtesse né comprenait rien de ce que je lui disais, parce que je m’exprimais en français.
Je lui ai demandé. Mais elle né pouvait pas avoir l’aide de collègues pour me pointer vers une table dans ma langue. Triste car ça me semblait bien comme place.
Difficile de comprendre qu’en 2015 une hôtesse d’un restaurant, qui semble bien (je parle ici du restaurant), né puisse servir un client en français, ou né puisse se faire aider d’un collègue comprenant la langue de Molière ou celle de Tremblay.

I was really disappointed by their attitude. First of all, it takes 30 mins to get one sushi pizza and 20 mins to get 2 scoops of ice-​cream. Also, i know it was a mistake, but she poured miso soup all over my parents. We were quite disappointed by their attitude.

Quality and quantity of the food is really good. Most of the sushi bars in downtown do not serve sashimi for lunch (except Kanda) Taking order using tablet was so good, ’cause I knew exactly what I would eat. The stuffs and manager were so polite and friendly. I like the decoration. Despite of all the sushi bars, it didn’t smell bad.
The price is a little higher than other places (1 or 2 $) while the quality is extremely better.

I’m a well traveled person and I ate sushi in both Vancouver and Japan. So I’ll try to give the most neutral opinion on this place.
For a Montréal sushi place, it’s ok. We came here for lunch, so not that expensive, but we couldn’t get every item that would be on the night menu. I. e: no sashimi or tuna for example.
The staff was nice and friendly. We ordered on an iPad which is fun. Everything came to our table very quickly.
Food wise, it’s average. The fish had no aftertaste, which is a plus. The tempura was crispy. Dumplings weren’t that great, hard dough and not a lot of stuffing. Very small rolls and fish pieces (so lots of rice).
So overall, for all you can eat in Montréal, it’s a safe bet. Place looks clean too. Probably wouldn’t pay full price for it though.

My rating is based on takeout orders.
After reading many reviews, I wasn’t expecting much.
My boyfriend and I ordered for takeout and were amazed at the prices vs quantity&quality.
Each piece came out to under 1 $. No where will you find this (ranging prices are between 1.50−2 $ per piece)
Food: the sushi was good. I liked everything on the platter and there wasn’t too much rice. The salmon sashimi was cut a little thick, but still good.
Service: the restaurant was not busy when we went but it was very fast service. We ordered 47 pieces and it was ready in under 15min. Nothing was premade (we had nothing to do but sit and watch, so we truly saw every piece being made in front of us).
Décor: again, we only sat in for a little while, but it seemed very nice and clean.
We will try a dine-​in shortly.

This place is right around the corner from my office so I will often pop in for lunch. When they first opened I thought that the place was pretty good for an all you can eat concept. Fresh ingredients, good service and a nice concept.
However, of late I’ve noticed that the quality of the food has been on the decline. Items such as the salt and pepper squid which was previously lightly battered and very tender have been replaced with much lower quality food. The squid dish, as an example, is now of the heavily breaded, tough and chewy variety.
Clearly they have started cutting corners to save costs. I will not be back.

Nice place, good service… the food is good for all you can eat sushi… but for waiting the food… it’s a little bite slow… for the price… it’s expensive than the other all you can eat sushi…

Food were nice but way too expensive. We waited too long between orders (waiters said too many orders and they all messed up). The waiter set us in an awful spot (in a grim corner). Last order around 9:30 PM or earlier, be prepared for that.

It’s nice. Order with a tablet. Foods are good but not for that price. It’s a bit over price for all you can eat sushi. And I went on a weekday as well. It’s more expansive than other sushi place in downtown on weekend. The service is good overall. Or maybe there is not much people. But some of our order is missing and they threw away the printed order list before everything come. then we never get our mussels.
They uses new concept of ordering using tablet. Maybe it’s still in beta? There seem to be issue with each order. Kinda annoying.
Overall good. Recommend. But will not return.

Nice new chain all u can eat sushi place of sushi Tokyo, service are fast and friendly, food are almost fresh and tasty, especially the raw shrimp sashimi which was sweet and yummy! One downside is the mussel dishes we had last night were not so fresh.
The decoration there is cool, I like the fancy chandelier, maybe that’s the reason it’s a little pricey for a AYCE sushi place.
One more thing, do avoid general Tao kinda of dish, that was just ridiculous

I think the people raring this place low, are Westmount workers /​residents And perhaps former clients of Kaizen who are unfamiliar with this
type of sushi restaurant.
The location is what use to be one of MTL’s most popular and higher end Japanese restaurants: Kaizen Sushi House .
Kaizen was one of our favorite restaurants when I was growing up so I understand the disappointment one might feel if they walk into the same space and expect something more traditional or upscale.
Unfortunately if you know anything about the food industry, you know it’s impossible to do what Kaizen did at the price /​value of Crystal Sushi. So for this reason I think the reviews are unfair.
I’ve been to most all you can eat Sushi places in MTL, and this is one of my top 2. Its definitely fresh, the service was friendly and efficient, the lunch price is awesome and the location is accessible, clean casual, and fun to be in.
If I were to say one thing to be improved on, it would be a wider variety of sauces and or «flavors» BUT this is how they keep the prices so low and can offer such fresh produce I guess so… once again it’s definitly at the top of it’s game for it’s kind.

Not happy. Didn’t order from buffet, waiting 1 hour for service!!! They are watching me, so I won’t eat!!! And michael (the manager) saw I had garnish in my plate and asked me what is that!!! Omg. Awful addition to westmount! Worse place ever!!! Do not go! and The manager michael the manager tells
Me he is confused. Not happy. Do not go. Go to park restaurant!

A few friends and i tried the new all you can eat sushi bar that is currently replacing the famous kaizen sushi restaurant. I personally found this all you can eat sushi bar better than most all you can eat with a few down points. The waiters were horrible. I understand that the restaurant is new, however the coordination of the staff was terrible, i had to ask him when he brings us the sushis to tell us which one were which. He did not know the prices of his bottles are the amount and when finally i ordered a bottle… they did not have any more of the one i wanted!
Fish and vegetables seem fresh, way better product that i have seen compared to sushi crescent or kanda sushi HOWEVER they drown all there tartar and sushi in mayo which is very disappointing.
I believe the restaurant is still adjusting but overall it is an ok restaurant. !!!
