" Takara has become a staple for our sushi cravings. The reliability of their sushi’s quality is comforting in a city that has so many options. Their chef is very talented and pays great attention to the flavors of each dish. While it's not the most affordable option, the quality truly makes it worth it. Try their house special rolls; they're fantastic! " (*Curated Review*)

" When we arrived, there was an inviting scent in the air. The decor was low-key, allowing the food to shine. We were impressed from the start, particularly with the freshness of the sashimi served to us. As locals, we appreciate a place that keeps its authenticity. We shared a few rolls and some sides; everything was well prepared. I'd recommend making a reservation, as it can get busy during dinner time. " (*Curated Review*)

" I stumbled upon Takara while searching for a sushi restaurant and I was pleasantly surprised. At first, the location seemed odd but once I entered, the ambiance was warm and welcoming. The sushi itself was delightful, especially the unagi which was cooked to perfection. The only downside was that the portions could have been a bit larger, but I left satisfied anyway. I would definitely return to try more of their menu. " (*Curated Review*)

" I have to say, I was so excited to try Takara after hearing such buzz, but the experience didn’t fully live up to the hype for me. The sushi was okay—fresh, yes, but the creativity seemed lacking on the rolls I chose. The ambiance was pleasant, though quite simple, and service was friendly yet a bit slow. I’m willing to give it another chance based on the favorable opinions, but I hope for a bit more flair next time. " (*Curated Review*)

" My experience at Takara was bittersweet. The service was friendly, and the ambiance cozy, fitting for a sushi spot. However, the sushi itself was not what I hoped for—it lacked depth and creativity, leaving me underwhelmed. Although I enjoyed the tempura more, I found my overall visit to be average. I might try again, but this was just okay. " (*Curated Review*)

" This place has brought back my love for sushi! After one meal, I'm hooked. The freshness of the fish exceeded my expectations, especially the salmon which was like butter. The service was attentive, and though the prices are a tad high, the quality justifies it. The traditional decor adds to the experience, making me feel like I'm actually in Japan. I will surely return! " (*Curated Review*)

" If you're looking for genuine Japanese sushi, look no further than Takara. The moment I stepped inside, I was captivated by its serene atmosphere. The chef truly knows his craft; each sushi roll is a work of art, beautifully presented and bursting with flavor. The service was impeccable, making me feel welcomed and valued. This is definitely going to be my go-to spot in Montreal! " (*Curated Review*)
