Sushi 999, the Montreal restaurant recently busted for a decomposing mouse corpse problem, among other public health hazards, was—is—popular (the restaurant has 61 five-star reviews on Facebook). Nonetheless, it's hard to square some of the restaurant's TripAdvisor and Yelp reviews with the horror show that inspectors stumbled upon after a customer complaint several months ago: rampant rodent excrement; raw, dripping beef mingled with grated carrots; raw shrimp and fish stored on top of fruit; layers of yellowish fat and mold in food prep areas. But hey, all-you-can-eat amirite?
In light of what we know now about Sushi 999, these reviews are chilling.
· "It's not exactly the best place to have a date and not the place to go if you know your sushi (the quality is just okay). However, I still recommend this place if you're on a budget and sushi is on your mind." Katerina B.
· "For the price it's not bad; the sashimi is pretty good, not the best but pretty good. The bathroom is kinda weird." David H.
"After going to Sushi Crescent all the time, it was time to try a new All You Can Eat Sushi place! As I always do, I got ready to have all you can eat sushi: I didnt have breakfast, so I would starve and crave sushi a lot so its worth what I pay." Lara S.

· "Had a lovely night out with a group of Yelpers here. Having been warned that Montreal is not a sushi town, and that all-you-can-eat sushi buffets here can be kind of dicey, I was going in with low expectations. However, I really enjoyed the meal." Andrea L.
