I have been going to Jun I for many years with the obvious hiatus for COVID19.

Chef has not missed a step in the transition: great food & cocktails & saké variety, excellent service, super clean.

I remain a dedicated regular.

We came for a girls' date night, the ambience & decor were amazing. We both went for the Omakase menu, the quality of the fish is one of the best we've had in Montreal, even Canada, period. My friend & I have enjoyed sushi in Japan, & the quality of the fish at Jun I is top. Sincere compliments to the chef.
Thank you & to the staff for a wonderful dining experience! I'll be recommending Jun I to friends & family.

Une des belles adresses de Montréal pour les amoureux du poisson préparé à la mode japonaise avec quelques belles créations pour casser les standards. Ne pas hésiter à demander les plats "hors carte" qui vous permettront de goûter à la créativité du chef. Il y a un fabuleux Toro!!! Service aimable & de bon conseil. On aurait aimé un peu plus de chaleur/personnalité dans la déco de la salle très sobre. Possibilité de commander & d'acheter quelques produits du restaurant dans la boutique adjacente.

While we had done our booking for 9pm via Libro & there were also availability for 9:30pm we were greeted as if we came to beg for free food at 9:05pm... the host told us, even before asking whether we had a reservation or not, that we would need to wait, only for him to come back & rudely say that the chef was not going to prepare more food so we wouldn't get a table.. I was stunt & told him btw we have a booking at 9pm, so I didn't see what the problem was. The host was rude, raised his tone & then said yes you have a booking but you're late... Shocking as the time was 9:06 & had been waiting for about 3-4 min in the cue... I am bilingual so was able to speak to him in French & tell him that with such a welcome I am really not sure whether I still want this table after all... not the best welcome when you're on a date & as a Montrealer definitely not the impression you want to give to foreign guests.

Knowing that there's plenty more restaurants that offer great Sushis with a more civilized & respectful welcome & hosts, I would consider twice before going back to Jun-I.

That being said the service we received from the waiters afterwards, & not the guy who hosted us thankfully, was really good & amicable. Food was also a reminder that I did well not just walking away & that the whole restaurant shouldn't be judged by one host who doesn't know how to treat & talk to customers who come & spend money in his establishment.

Overall Jun-I is a good place but far from owning the laver sole critics have given it of the best sushi of Montreal.

Having been to Japan & having interacted many times with Japanese people, I would recommend that the owners provide a Japanese 101 culture & etiquette for the host, this could be a nice eye opening experience for him.... Humility, simplicity & respect being at the core of Japanese hospitality.

Un lunch mémorable! Tout est exquis, raffiné & tellement frais. Le choix du chef à 65$ est une aubaine. Les choix de saké qui nous ont été par le serveur à rehausser chaque bouchée. On comprend bien pourquoi le chef est finaliste aux Lauriers!! Bravo

Honestly, this is still the best sushi place in MTL. We've been following chef Juni since the Soto days. Never disappoints.

Amazing sushi, as always. The staff is well informed & impeccable in their recommendations. Could not recommend the restaurant enough. I long for the days when you could sit & watch the master of their chefs preparing the meals
