When you type sushi near me while sitting in Mile-End, the search results fill up fast, but real sushi and a full izakaya menu made by an experienced chef are harder to find than the list suggests.
Aji Bar Sushi & Izakaya MTL, located at 929 St-Zotique Est in Rosemont, delivers straight to Mile-End through PikaPoint, skipping the generic delivery apps that inflate prices and dilute quality along the way. For anyone comparing sushi Montreal options, it is one of the few kitchens in the area still doing everything in house.

Mile-End, well within delivery range of Aji
Rosemont and Mile-End are neighbours, separated by roughly 4 kilometres. That is an ideal distance for sushi delivery: close enough for the food to arrive in great condition, far enough that Mile-End does not necessarily have a sushi counter of this caliber right around the corner.
Whether it is an impromptu weeknight dinner, a movie night at home, or a team lunch at the office, delivery lets you enjoy Aji's menu without leaving Mile-End, while keeping the experience as close as possible to eating at the restaurant itself.
How to order: PikaPoint, in a few clicks
Every online order from Aji, delivery or pickup, goes through a single official platform: PikaPoint, at order.pikapoint.io/aji-sushi-mtl/menus. Just pick the dishes you want, confirm the delivery address in Mile-End, and pay directly online.
For a distance of about 4 km, expect a reasonable wait that varies with how busy the kitchen is, especially on weekend evenings. No delivery time is promised down to the minute, but each order is prepared only once it is placed, which means freshly rolled sushi rather than sushi assembled ahead of time.
A practical note: lunch service runs Monday to Friday from 11am to 2:30pm, while dinner service starts at 4:30pm every day (until 10pm Sunday through Thursday, until 11pm Friday and Saturday).
What travels well in delivery, and what shines more dining in
Makis and well-rolled nigiri are among the champions of delivery: the vinegared rice and nori hold up well on the trip to Mile-End, and the fish stays fresh thanks to packaging designed for transport. Bentos and most izakaya dishes, like karaage chicken or gyoza, also travel very well and arrive hot or at the right temperature.
Some fried or extra crispy items, like tempura served straight out of the fryer, are always a little better enjoyed right away, which is true for any restaurant serving that kind of dish as delivery. That does not stop you from fully enjoying it at home though, just serve it as soon as the driver arrives rather than letting the box sit on the counter.
Why choose Aji over the generic options nearby
Mile-End has plenty of sushi delivery options, but most lean on standardized menus built for volume rather than quality. At Aji, Chef Yamamoto, with 30 years of experience, oversees a menu that goes well beyond classic makis, with a genuine full izakaya offering.
The 4.5 rating out of 332 Google reviews reflects consistent quality, both for guests dining in and those ordering delivery. Anyone looking for restaurants near me that actually deliver on flavour will notice the difference: ordering directly through PikaPoint instead of a generic third-party app also means a direct line to the restaurant, with no middleman standing between the kitchen and the plate.
Prefer to visit in person instead of ordering delivery?
Delivery is convenient, but for Mile-End residents who occasionally prefer to make the trip, Aji is of course also open for dine in, at 929 St-Zotique Est. The restaurant runs on a BYOB basis: guests can bring their own bottle of wine for a corkage fee of $5 per table.
Whether it is a weeknight dinner delivered to your door or the full experience at the counter with your own bottle, the important thing is being able to reach Aji easily, at 514 272 2929, for any question before ordering.
