Sushi Momo

What is Sushi Momo? Occupying the former Hello 123 footprint on Queen Street West near Dovercourt, Sushi Momo brings Montreal chef Christian Ventura’s acclaimed plant-based Japanese concept to Toronto. The Scandinavian-meets-Japanese interior strips back clutter with clean white-brick walls, low warm lighting, and plush navy banquettes. Between the relaxed main dining room and enclosed back patio space, the room feels sleek, calm, and tailored for lingering dinners.

Sushi Momo Menu & What to Order Ventura sidesteps tired avocado-roll cliches in favour of intricate, ingredient-driven futomaki, maki tempura, and snacks. Start with the Mushroom Tartare paired with shiba zuke, truffle emulsion, and crisp taro chips before exploring standout rolls like the Wellington, the beef-style Gyu, and the Big M roll. Those looking to sample the full spectrum should consider the multi-course tasting menu, matched with a floral La Vie en Rose cocktail or selections from the natural wine and private-import sake list.

Know Before You Go Advance reservations through the restaurant's website are strongly recommended for prime dinner seatings, though walk-ins can often find room early in the evening. The 501 Queen streetcar drops off steps away at Dovercourt Road, while street parking along Queen is paid and competitive on weekends. Service is dinner-only from Wednesday through Sunday, with the dining room closed Mondays and Tuesdays.
