Kyo Bar Japonais - Old Montréal, Quebec

We were visiting Montreal and called twice to reserve a table. Twice they answered and put us on hold, but they never came back to the table. So I booked two seats at the bar at 6pm. When we arrived, we saw that the bar stools didn't have backs. We ... were exhausted so we asked to sit elsewhere. The hostess rudely told my husband that we had to sit where we booked on Open Table. The restaurant had maybe four tables seated at the time and many, many tables available. When I returned from the restroom, I told them we needed to sit at a table. The hostess said, "Yeah that's fine, but you have to leave by 7:30." RUDE! Then the server was rude and curt. She didn't want to be bothered by our questions about the menu. I was really appalled by how much we paid for good, but not amazing sushi, and by how we felt rushed during our entire meal. The guys who poured the water were great, but the women who seated us and served us were awful. It's for this reason that I wouldn't return or recommend this restaurant. When we left, there were still a couple of tables available, so it was clear that they simply didn't want to accommodate our request. Sad. Read more

I rarely dislike food enough to not eat it. Got the chef choice plate and two were so fishy/soggy. Thankfully the tempura was very good! The waitress also forgot to punch in our order. She was super nice and got out the food quickly but overall not a great experience. To top ... it off, when we left, someone dropped all their garbage on the front door!! I went in to tell the hostess and feel horrible cause it was not their fault but definitely didn’t add to the already struggling evening Read more

I recently visited Kyo Bar Sushi and had a mixed experience. The atmosphere was inviting and stylish, and the service was great. We started with the pork belly, which had good flavor but would have benefited from the fat being rendered and crispy. The tempura was good, with a very light ... batter. We also ordered the chef's maki set which was disappointing, offering little variety and mostly consisting of variations on California or dragon rolls. Overall, Kyo Bar Sushi provides a pleasant dining environment and great service, but the food options we selected were average. Read more

Very yummy vibrant place! The food was delicious! It is made in a sharing/tapas styleAnd served quickly, the cocktails were okaaay not mind blowing but decent! Great little spot

Went here for our anniversary dinner. I recommend getting a reservation first to make sure you get a nice table. We got so much food and honestly it wasn't crazy expensive. Get the chef's platters if you're not picky, they were super worth it, everything on it was delicious!! They even ... gave us a free dessert for our anniversary:") Will definitely go again, food was great and the atmosphere was perfect, and the staff was extremely kind and gave us great service!
