Meet the owner

Tri Du came to Canada as a refugee from Vietnam at age 20. He lived comfortably on a farm in Normandin, Quebec, with the kind family who’d taken him in, until he felt it was time for a change. Lured by the big city and the potential for opportunity, he relocated to Montreal with just a few dollars in his pocket and spent his first few nights sleeping outside in the city's north end.

Soon he found a day job cleaning floors and washing dishes in a pastry shop. "The work wasn't really stimulating so I started watching the chefs to see if I could learn how to make pastries,“ he says. The chefs took well to his curiosity. They noticed what a quick study he was and began showing him the ropes. Four years after his arrival in Montreal, he'd earned the title of full-fledged pastry chef.

The pastry shop's owner soon opened a sushi restaurant. He was so impressed with Tri’s abilities he suggested Tri come to work there to learn the ins and outs of sushi-making. "I learned to be very patient working with a team of Japanese chefs," says Tri.

Tri continued to work his way up. He spent 12 years as head chef at Kaizen, a landmark sushi restaurant on Montreal’s west side. Yet he wanted more. He dreamed of opening his own place and offering high-end sushi, but at a price anyone could afford. In 2006 on a quiet stretch of Laurier Street in Montreal’s Plateau Mont-Royal, he opened Tri-Express.

On the first night, he expected it to be slow: “It’s a quiet area so I thought I’d be able to cook, serve and wash dishes all on my own. But it got so full I had to hire staff a few days later.”

Try the sushi pizza and the filet mignon salad !

Lot's of people have been talking about this place recently (chef is well known for previous restaurant + was featured in the very popular clip of "la palourde royale").Overall, people were saying that this was one of the best sushi restaurants in town. Cute restaurant will loads of charm. Food is AMAZING , service is great and prices are surprisingly low. Place is tiny so always very busy but worth the wait!

Clairement les meilleurs sushis &agrave; Montr&eacute;al

Si vous n'avez pas encore essayé cet endroit et que vous n'avez pas encore essayé cet endroit, vous devez le faire absoluement! On n'y vas pas pour l'ambiance mais vraiment pour déguster des sushis savoureux et originaux qu'on ne trouve nulle part ailleurs. Le resto est en effet très petit alors réservez ou commandez pour emporter!

Les meilleurs sushi en ville!

Le chef Tri, en plus d'être sympathique, offre des choix originaux, toujours frais, rehaussés de ses sauces dont seul lui a le secret. Ne pas oublier d'essayer la salade d'algues, la meilleure en ville aussi. Resto très petit, réservez avant. Sinon, prenez-les pour emporter!
