I was never a fan of sushi because even as a non-vegan the idea of raw fish was very unappealing to me... but now that I’m vegan I’m always on the hunt for delicious vegan cuisine so Sushi Momo was my introduction to sushi and did not disappoint! I went with some (non-vegan) girlfriends on a Saturday night to celebrate my birthday and from the moment we walked in the door we felt welcome and were blown away by the ambience and the service. The staff are friendly and the decor is eclectic, Asian, chic and cozy. We were seated a little towards the back at the perfect table tucked into a corner for a group of boisterous girls � We were well taken care of by the charming Jonathan, who started us off with warm saki and then suggested the perfect wine and the Saiko Ko for Four from “Les Deals”. This four-course menu included a sumptuous miso soup to start, which the girls loved. I subbed for a small salad instead and feel like I went to heaven when I tasted the ambrosia that was the dressing. Then we had a yummy papaya salad & beetroot tartare and we also ordered some dumplings (Gyoza) all of which disappeared in a flash. The portions were perfect for sharing and everything tasted even better than it looked. When the sushi platter arrived with a selection of favorites from the chefs, Jonathan took the time to explain what each item was and then left us to dive in. At this point I have to say that I’m a VERY picky eater and am not usually adventurous when it comes to food. I threw caution to the wind and tried almost everything - including the jackfruit. I can’t even remember the names of anything, but suffice to say that I was more than satisfied as were the girls. The portion was just right, even leaving us with a little box of leftovers to take home. As a vegan, it can be difficult to find a restaurant that appeals to my non-vegan friends... so discovering Sushi Momo was the best birthday present ever! Now that I’ve popped my sushi cherry, I will definitely be back and would highly recommend this oasis of deliciousness to vegans & non-vegans alike.

This food is blow-your-mind good. I may make the six hour drive into Montreal just to eat that beetroot tartare and poutine sushi again. Phenomenal �
