Excellent spot, omakase menu was delicious, well-balanced, & quite serious, portion-wise

Got the omakase (tasting menu) here. While the food was generally good & the value is unbeatable, I feel like the flavours were not very balanced for some of the dishes. The flavour profile here leans heavily towards sour & zesty. There's a lot of citrus/yuzu & balsamic sauces used. It worked for the early salads & appetizers, but got exhausting towards the middle & I couldn't wait for the sushi for a palate reprieve. My favourite non-sushi dish was the wagyu, which really stood out for its umami & perfectly cooked rareness, although the thick bunch of carrots felt a bit excessive. When the sushi arrived, it did not disappoint. There was a variety of sashimi, rolls & traditional sushi. All were amazing & probably worth the price of the omakase on their own. My favourite was probably the pair of fried makis! Service was good & started quickly but slowed down A LOT the dinner crowd poured in after 7. Come early if you want prompt service & their full attention.

My honest review as a Montreal tourist from Toronto:
- Omakase was amazing & would probably be in the Michelin guide, especially for the price so I would say it deserves a Bib Gourmand at the very least
- the service was inconsistent, we had a couple good servers that explained each item & would occasionally check on us & others where they explain everything in french quickly & walk away. We do not speak French so we didn't understand at all.
- the ambiance was weird because for a higher end sushi experience we expected a quieter Japanese style environment but it was bar lounge & social environment which is probably enjoyed by the locals. I would suggest to separate the Omakase experience to the a la carte. This would make the restaurant perfect

Un repas chez Jun-i est toujours une fête, tant l'établissement se renouvelle dans l'excellence. Un omakase d'anthologie, à essayer sans hésiter, & des sakés magnifiques.

Tout était parfait. Un petit axe d'amélioration : nous avons pris le menu Omakase chacun. Eventuellement demander en amont aux clients si ça ne les dérange pas de partager des plats. Cela peut être délicat si les personnes ne se connaissent pas trop. Par ailleurs, cela donne aussi l'impression que les quantités sont divisées par deux.

food was top tier, BUT the service on the other hand was terrible. this was my second time coming here & had booked for a birthday. we ended up getting the omakase menu & the duck breast & crusted fish were my favourites (besides the sushi assortment of course). though, the downside was that we had waited such a long time in between each shared course. we were seated in the restaurant for two & a half hours, which is i think is not ideal for a six-course meal. mind you, the restaurant flow was overall moderate. overall, i would only come back for the à la carte as it seems that everyone after us was getting their food five times faster.

Hasn't skipped a beat, this is easily in the top 3 Japanese/ Sushi restaurants in the city. We already take the Omakase as we trust In their expertise to deliver a flawless dining experience! If you're on the fence don't think twice Jin-I is fantastic.

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.
