Jun I understands the essential factor: offer high quality Japanese cuisine. Their talented chef, who uses her passion for culinary art and new trends, and the freshness and delicacy of the food leave no doubt on the reputation of Jun I. The marriage of styles harmonizes with an impressive wine list and a nice variety of saké. In addition, a tasting menu is available so you can sample a little bit of everything. Enjoy a unique experience in a warm and intimate setting at one of the largest Japanese tables in Montreal.
Overall, reviews praise Jun I for exceptional sushi, fresh ingredients, and attentive service, with many calling the omakase and uni standout highlights and the atmosphere lively yet intimate; some note high prices, long waits between courses, occasional uneven execution, and the sense that post pandemic changes have affected the ambiance, though several guests still consider it one of the best sushi experiences in Montreal.
Eating here is an experience over time, exploring your taste buds with a huge variety of sushi & other dishes with super fresh ingredients both local & from Japan. Each had a beautiful delicate balance of flavour, & the presentation was spectacular. The pace of dishes was perfect, leaving you with time to savour everything. Incredible sake choices that balance out the meal as well.Every dish was raved about at our table of 4. Service was top notch; you can see the staff are very well trained & attentive. Chef Juni is very personable & so creative.

Diner was absolutely delicious ! You can tell the fish is super fresh & you get your money's worth. Loved the waiters & their attention to details (never had to ask for anything). Good music & happy to see options of tasty non-alcoholic drinks as well. Overall great experience, will come back FOR SURE !!
We had the best experience, service was above & beyond, the fish was buttery & so incredibly fresh (we had the sushi moriawase). The matcha dessert was a winner, as well. We can't wait to come back. Deserves all the hype & more.
Food was good, sashimi was fresh, rolls were average, the service was good & fast. Only disappointment since booked sushi bar online booking. This was not available & I would have appreciated a courtesy call to let me know, would have asked for a table.
Sushi moriawase was not fresh. The sashimi pieces were dry & unpalatable. Quite disappointed. I expected better for the price. The maki roll, however, was good.

Divine. Omakase dishes are creative & delicious; sushi & sashimi are fresh & sweet. Service is warm & professional. (Merci encore, Charles.) In New York, this menu would cost easily three times as much.
I would never visit Montreal wiithout making a reservation here first.
We celebrated our wedding anniversary there. The best sushi I've had in Montréal, the Omakase menu was incredible: fresh, fun, & delicious. Every dish is beautifully presented. Definitely worth a visit! Lastly the service was the best I've had in a restaurant since covid. Definitely recommending the restaurant to friends. :)
Absolutely delicious. This is what sushi really tastes like. So deserving of his top 100 best restos in Canada. Every bite was exquisite. So fresh. So superior. Our fav restaurant in Canada!

The ambiance of the restaurant was lovely & the sushi was exceptional. The style of sushi is very simple with focus on fresh ingredients.
The only reason I did not give a 5 star review is because we showed up 10 minutes early for our reservation & there were 3-4 free tables. The hostess tried to seat us at the worst table & when I asked for another one, she said the others weren't ready yet. When I said we would just wait she seemed shocked. She came back 2 minutes later & sat us at one of the better tables. It was extremely weird & unnecessary!
The experience was smooth sailing after that with great service from our waiter, delicious sushi & lovely drinks.
Each dish was fresh & flavourful. The portions were also very generous. Easily the best sushi restaurant in Montreal & would highly recommend to any foodie.
Flawless, attentive service. Perfect plating, presentation & first-rates, fresh ingredients, including fish not usually available in Montreal. Nice cocktail & wine list (including local cider). Honestly, not much to add. Just a great meal in a lovely venue supported by enthusiastic staff.
