Sho-Dan’s one of the first to have set a bar for high-end sushi in Montreal, blending traditional techniques with their own creativity. Chef Romeo Pham’s menu is packed with signature creations: The Besame Mucho—a mix of spicy tuna, shrimp, avocado, and tempura flakes wrapped in soy paper—is a must. So is The Phoenix, a roll that brings together crabsticks, avocado, mango, and fried onions topped with red tuna. Even the sushi pizza—a dish often hit-or-miss elsewhere—has been perfected here.
While the food is refined, the atmosphere is warm and personal, thanks to Romeo’s signature touch. He moves from table to table, offering recommendations and making sure diners get the full Sho-Dan experience.
