If you have typed sushi near me while sitting in Saint-Michel, you already know the neighborhood is not short on Asian restaurants. What is harder to find is real sushi made by an experienced chef instead of a generic platform menu. Good news: Saint-Michel sits just next to Rosemont-La Petite-Patrie, home to Aji Bar Sushi and Izakaya MTL, and delivery to Saint-Michel is a short, direct trip.
This guide is for anyone who would rather stay in, whether it is a family dinner, a night in with friends, or a work lunch. We cover how to order, what holds up best in a delivery box, and why it is worth choosing Aji over a generic sushi restaurants near me option when you are craving real sushi Montreal is proud of.

How to order delivery from Saint-Michel
Ordering is done exclusively through PikaPoint, the only active platform for Aji: order.pikapoint.io/aji-sushi-mtl/menus. You select your dishes, enter your Saint-Michel address, and the system confirms whether you fall within the delivery zone, which is usually the case since the neighborhood sits about 3.5 km from the restaurant.
On timing, it is worth staying realistic: as with any delivery in the city, the wait depends on how busy the kitchen is, the time of day, and traffic on the main streets between Rosemont and Saint-Michel. Over a distance this short, the drive itself is quick, but leave yourself a little buffer, especially on Friday and Saturday evenings when the kitchen is at its busiest. The most reliable way to know what to expect for your specific order is to check the estimate shown directly in PikaPoint when you place it.
What travels well in delivery, and what is better in person
Not every dish behaves the same way once it is boxed up for the road. Aji's makis, nigiri, and sashimi are built for quick service and hold their freshness well over the trip to Saint-Michel, especially on a distance this short. The izakaya dishes (small hot plates meant for sharing) and full bento boxes also travel well, since they are already portioned into individual containers that suit delivery naturally.
Where dining in keeps a slight edge is anything that relies on crispness right out of the fryer, like certain fried items or the sushi tacos, whose breaded and fried nori shell is best enjoyed a few minutes after leaving the kitchen. That is not a reason to skip them for delivery, they are still delicious, but if perfectly crisp texture is your top priority, the counter has a small advantage there.
Either way, the gas cooking used at Aji allows for precise heat control, which helps hot dishes hold up better on the road than they would with less consistent methods.
Why choose Aji over a generic option in the area
Saint-Michel has access to plenty of delivery apps offering generic sushi, often made in bulk without much attention to freshness or presentation. At Aji, chef-owner Yamamoto, with 30 years of experience, oversees everything that leaves the kitchen, whether it is for a guest at the counter or a delivery order.
The 4.5 out of 332 Google reviews rating reflects a consistency that generic options in the neighborhood cannot always guarantee. And since orders go directly through PikaPoint rather than a third-party platform, what you receive matches the restaurant's actual menu, with no surprise substitutions.
Prefer to dine in instead of ordering delivery?
If one evening you would rather come in than order, keep in mind that Aji runs on a BYOB model: you can bring your own wine to go with the meal, for a corkage fee of 5 dollars per table. It is worth keeping in mind for a special occasion, even though the main focus of this guide is delivery straight to your door in Saint-Michel.
