The spicy edamame are no joke, my wife binged them all as they were so tasty! The side effects kicked in almost immediately and ended up exploding in the bathroom. Not cool, but ending up leaving all the sushi for me, excellent food! Overall 8/10 experience! Would definitely go back, just beware of spicy food.

We thoroughly enjoyed our work/birthday lunch at Jatoba. The food was incredible and staff welcoming and knowledgable. I would recommend Jatoba in a hearbeat and will most certainly return. The $55 lunch menu was perfect (and we added some dessert as well :-) )

First time at Jatoba and will definitely go back when I visit Montreal again. The Google reviews did not steer me wrong! The food was delicious, atmosphere was upscale yet friendly, and it was busy but not too loud. I would definitely recommend- the chicken dish was outstanding!

This restaurant is pure class. Service and food were fantastic. Special thanks to the host, who immediately picked up on the reservation being a surprise for my wife, and played along. His effort preserved the impact of the surprise when additional guests showed up to what my wife thought was just a normal date. Our waiter was exceptional as well. He crafted a wonderful 3 course meal for a fair price. Every plate was was delicious and we all left feeling full and satisfied. I’ve came here once in 2017 and I will always recommend Jatoba for an elegant and unique experience.

I was there for lunch with a group. I had the miso soup and sashimi lunch express. The sashimi isn't served the traditional Japanese way with wasabi, and yet the ginger and the sauce made it very delicious. The side salad of kohlrabi was super fresh and it had such a nice crunch. The mocktail aloha jatoba is a nice drink if you like fruity taste. The restaurant has beautiful decor and excellent service. There's a complimentary coat room at the reception. An excellent idea for winter!

Dining here was ultimately about the food, which was undeniably excellent (The bluefish tuna sushi is out of this world, we had to order it twice). Each dish was refined, well-executed, and arrived promptly, reflecting the level you expect from a high-end establishment. The bill for 2 people, 2 drinks each and a few plates of sushi came up to $380. That said, the overall experience didn’t feel particularly memorable. The service was polite but somewhat average, lacking the attentiveness or warmth that elevates a great meal into something truly special. A small detail that stood out: I ordered a cortado and was served an espresso with milk on the side, which missed the mark for a restaurant of this caliber. Would I return? Yes…maybe—for the food alone. As a person who traveled around the world and ate at quite a few expensive seafood places, including Singapore and Spain, I would rate Jatoba 6.9/10 overall

Our favorite place in town. Service is always excellent. Quality of the food is extremely good. Nice décor and total attention to details. I was there to celebrate my 25th wedding anniversary and a beautiful personal card from chef Olivier was there at my table congratulating us. You cannot find this excellent customer service somewhere else.

High quality ingredients, good culinary execution, ok service, beautiful location. We had an enjoyable dinner and tried a decent selection of menu items. The personal favorite: the lemongrass and coconut soup; and the gyoza. The service was not flawless, as we had to order our drinks twice, and we were served food but some silverware was missing. Pricewise: it’s on the very high end (overpriced, in my opinion). All in all, I’d come back
