Best Japanese Restaurants in St. Lawrence Market

Server and service was slow at first, they were definitely slammed. . It’s loud but that’s the vibe. Food came out fast once ordered. And very good

Always an amazing time here! Food tastes amazing and the quality is very high. The staff here are so friendly and very attentive. I would highly recommend all to come here :)

host was great, server was almost absent and was super slow taking our order then ordered with a different server and order came out crazy fast. The location is great especially for a pre or post theatre option. we were there for happy hour which was amazing and delicious.

Short ribs were great, will be back for more soon! Torched Salmon and Octopus were good but nothing memorable. Lobster sushi was an overpriced waste.

Our first visit to Chotto Matte was an unforgettable sensory experience that began the moment we stepped through the doors. Greeted warmly by the reception staff, we were immediately drawn into the vibrant ambiance—splashes of color, alluring lighting, and mellow DJ beats created an atmosphere that felt both sophisticated and inviting. Our server, Alice, was exceptional, her knowledge of the menu and genuine enthusiasm enriching our experience. We chose the Nikkei Menu Deluxe ($175 per person, with an optional wine pairing) and were treated to a carefully curated array of dishes: Shishito Peppers, Yellowtail “Nikkei Sashimi,” Toro Nigiri, Dragon Roll, Jumbo Shrimp Tempura, BBQ Huacatay Broccolini, Tentáculos De Pulpo, Black Cod Aji Miso, and Australian Grade 8-9 Wagyu. Each dish was beautifully presented, bursting with flavor, and executed with precision. The freshness of the ingredients stood out, while each bite offered a delightful complexity that reflected the restaurant’s fusion of Japanese and Peruvian influences. Alice took the time to describe each dish’s unique elements and frequently checked in to make sure we were enjoying every moment. Her attentiveness, combined with Hassan’s (the General Manager) thoughtful hospitality, made us feel well cared for throughout the meal, allowing us to fully immerse ourselves in the experience. Chotto Matte is a must-visit for anyone looking for a dynamic dining experience. We’re already looking forward to our next visit!
