I was really looking forward on having a kbbq for our last day here in Montreal but my husband and i were really disappointed with this place. First of all the table that we were seated on, the table had some stain and old sauce. We had to ask the server to wipe our tables again. The grilling plate that you cook your food in, ours looks like it wasnt clean properly that it looked like there was still burnt food left from last time it was used. Food wise.. all the bbq meat that we order had no flavour at all and it was really dry. There was a lot of stuff in their “online menu” that they didnt have in person. No sashimi, vegetables and steaks. It just wasnt a great experience at all. Im sure there was better kbbq place but i definitely dont recommend Sota especially when youre paying $100+ for 2 people.

Worst service EVER!!! I was a regular customer for years! But would never go back !!! The food smells and does not taste good ! The only good thing there is the sushi pizza and that’s only if the salmon doesn’t smell! PLUS they obligate you to give them 15% tip ! Tip is not an Obligation, especially if the service is not good !!!

The meat was fine but it wouldn’t be something I’d go back for. However, the white tuna sashimi and ice cream were very yum. Otherwise, I made a reservation for a party of 3, and we were put in the basement (which I didn’t even know they had tables down there). It sucked pretty bad because there was no ventilation whatsoever, you’re basically stuck in a room with a bunch of people cooking meat with no windows or exhaust fans. The service wasn’t great either; the staff didn’t say a word to us when putting down food or giving us drinks. They also looked miserable and didn’t really check on their tables. When ordering pop, we received a jug filled with soda and ice but we weren’t given extra glasses to pour them in, so we had to finish our waters if we wanted to drink it. Additionally, we didn’t receive everything we ordered, or it just took a rather long time which isn’t the end of the world since it’s a fixed AYCE price but it was annoying. For instance, we ordered tempura and it took a while (which makes sense bc it was one of the few COOKED items we ordered) but it arrived cold. Another example, we never received our lettuce which would’ve been yummy to go along with the meat 🥀 They also randomly dropped off three separate bills during our meal and had us pay because they said they were closing the basement. I was honestly more annoyed due to the lack of communication that they couldn’t even ask beforehand if we wanted to pay together or separate. To my knowledge, everyone in the basement was automatically charged tip on top of their bills no matter their party size. Honestly valid though, because with the quality of service I’m sure the workers wouldn’t have made much otherwise.

The service was very bad!! We were a total of 4 ppl and we got put downstairs (I honestly didn't know they had more tables downstairs). The first time that we ordered it came reasonably but we had a few items missing. When it came to our second order, someone came and gave us our bills. The bills already had the tip in it; it was labelled as "frais de service" (mind you, the tip is only applied automatically if you're a group of 6 which was not our case). We kept ordering after that but it took a long time for the food to get there + the portions were so small. We ordered fried buns (1 plate which on the picture seemed to have 4 pieces) and we only got 1. But weirdly, once we ordered our dessert, they quickly gave us our bowls. In all, I would not go to this place at all!! They're picky with the portions and you don't feel welcomed at all. Bathrooms were a mess too!

Great delicious food but server was staring at us the whole time. Very uncomfortable. We were seated downstairs and the ambiance was poor compared to upstairs. The same 5 songs were playing and we had to ask for them to start the music because it kept stopping. Also, they charged us with the automatic 15% tips event tho we were 5 and their policy says it applies at 6 people so I’m pretty sure it’s because we were black people. The service is just bad. If you’re ready to deal with casual racism go ahead. Also we had to keep reordering again and again because the food was simply not coming. They just kept telling us to redo the order.

We went 2 people on a Friday, and at first the service was normal, but then went on to be slow to the point where we were waiting for more than 20 minutes for our order. Our second order that was out never came, so we had to order again and wait more. The meat was okay, but just really Salty. It’s really a place where you have to go during the week and not during rush hour, or else you will be disappointed. It was really noisy, we had to practically yell to speak to each other. Anyway, it wasn’t really worth the 43$, you can find better else where.

So first time here, we are from Niagara Falls. Mind you we have about 3 of these types of establishments in Niagara and they are all top notch, from food to service to atmosphere. We arrive on time for our reservation, we are escorted not to the main floor but around the corner where we see the signs for the washrooms....ok ok lets see what's going on lol. They take us past the washrooms and then down stairs into another section of the restaurant and we were like ok ok this is nice. Server comes over and drops a pitcher of ice water on the table, then says by the way limits is 2hrs and walks away. Leaves no glasses to use, no plates. No utensils and no tongs to use on our raw food to cook. We figure out on our own that we need to scan a QR code and use that to place the order we want to grill....we manage to get someone else's attention and get all the missing items. So we place our orders, and it takes almost 30min before any of our food arrived to cook. Mind you we have a 2hr time limit. So 30min gone....sushi shows up, but we didn't get any of the meat we ordered until around 45min in. Food was mediocre at best, like a 5 out of 10. Also about a quarter of the itmes we did order, never made it to our table. Not sure what happened there. When we finally decided to pay and leave vetoed the same server who first sat us....about 20min went by and no one came to collect payment. We had to wave down a female employee. She comes back about 5min later with a machine....presents the bill, then says oh by the way the TIP is already included in the total....uh ok, we were a table of 4....they decided to give themselves a $28 tip. Then I put my card in (debit) to pay, she say oh we only accept cash or credit cards, wow ok....I said thats not on your website at all, and you never said that when we came in, she says we have a sign on the front door....yes, but if your website was honest about it I wouldn't have made the reservations lol So we had to move money around to one of my wife's CC and pay. All in all a horrible experience, we come to Montreal twice a year and will not be going to this place again. $228 for 4 people lol soooooooo not worth it for this crap.

Had a bad feeling before even stepping my foot in this place and i should have trusted my guts. They seated us in the corner table, it's the most uncomfortable while there are so many tables available. When we asked they told us that those tables were reserved but no one showed up for those tables after 1 hour we have been there. They also forgot to bring out our orders like many times. The food here is a joke and definitely not worth the price. Especially the shrimp. Do not order the shrimps here. Definitely will never come back.

We came in with moderate expectations, based on the portable fans placed at the door to circulate air through the restaurant and our experiences in other AYCE establishments. We were very pleasantly surprised. There were lots of different options and a variety of cuts in meat, and a good number of available sides. The servers brought out what we ordered, unlike many other places that will 'forget' some items. The meat was well seasoned and was decent quality for the price. Overall, worth a visit if you're craving meat!

Extremely disappointing experience at this restaurant. My friends and I were denied an empty table twice and told it was “reserved,” only to watch those same tables later be given to white customers who, by their own admission, had not made reservations. This was especially troubling because the restaurant says over the phone that they do not accept reservations at all. As Black customers, this pattern felt deeply unfair and raised serious concerns about discriminatory treatment. If there was another reason for refusing us those tables, it should have been communicated honestly instead of giving excuses that were clearly inconsistent. Respect, fairness, and transparency should be the minimum standard for every customer, and unfortunately that was not our experience.
