Went in with high expectations given the rave reviews & price points & unfortunately they missed the mark. We ordered a variety of apps, makis & nigiris. The curry maki is too over spiced & some of the nigiris were not made properly (too much wasabi in some) & just inconsistent. The cod for $28 is extremely small - enough for about 1 or 2 bites. Given the price point, it is not worth a visit.

Although a bit expensive, the portions & the quality of the food makes up for the price. Their omakase comes with 3 appetisers, 15 pieces of sushi & a dessert for around 120$. The pieces of sushi were quite big & the cut of fishes were quite generous. I especially liked their Funny Maki because there was a great contrast in the temperature which made it so unique & delicious. I was surprised because I usually don't like fried sushi that much. As for the appetisers, I feel like the first two dishes were a bit too sour which overwhelmed the flavours of the ingredients but their octopus appetiser had a great balance of sweetness & saltiness which made it so wonderful. The quality of the ingredients is amazing, each slices were really fresh & I especially enioyed the fresh scallop sushi which had a great seafood sweetness to it. The service was superb. The waiters & waitresses were all extremely patient & professional, taking the time to explain each dish while they were serving it to the table. Even though the place was quite fancy with the minimalistic interior decors, I feel like the semi casual atmosphere fits the place extremely well & it was pretty easy to talk at our table until later at night when the restaurant was more crowded, I felt like we had to shout a bit to be heard.

Good sushi. However exorbitant prices are not justified

For the price tag on this place, it does not meet expectations. The sushi is good but nothing out of this world. Me & my friend ordered the 15 piece set which was 75$ per person. We first got 4 pieces out of the 15 then got the rest like 40 minutes later. All pieces were on the same platter & even though we ordered different additional pieces, they were placed all together & served to us as if we were sharing everything although we never told them we were sharing & we ordered separately. When asking for the bill, we weren't asked if we wanted it separate or one bill & just gave us one bill. The cocktails were good. The sushi is good but for the price you are paying, it's not worth it & you can get better quality sushi experience elsewhere for the same price.

One of the best sushi places in Montreal hands down. Great quality of fish , excellent service & such affordable prices. I don't recommend the omakase but all their sushi is amazing. The freshness is unbeatable.

Went there to celebrate with my girlfriend totry the omakase the food was OKAY nothing incredible but not bad until we got to dessert. We forced ourself to finish it, the flavour were all over the place but not in a good way. In the end, it was good but I feel like it was just a bit better then fastfood sushi so clearly not worth the enormous prices going with the portions & flavour profiles..

Had the tasting menu. It was my second time there & both experiences were excellent. Plenty of delicious specialties included on the tasting menu. &, for the price, you really do get value - sushi platter was varied, delicious, & plentiful! Probably best sushi in Montreal.

The service is good, but the food is disappointing. The Omakase tasting menu is 90$ per person so I had high expectation, but turns out the food doesn't stand out from other normal sushi restaurants (price range around 30$ per person). What frustrated me most is the whole environment. As an expensive Japanese sushi restaurant with tasting menu, the chopsticks are disposable. I mean, can you imagine a steakhouse gives its customers plastic knife & fork? Also, it was super noisy in the back & the background music is just too loud, from Flo Rida's Low to Bon Jovi's It's My Life. I love all these music, but I just expected a more quiet & formal environment here. Overall, the food & environment just aren't worth the price. My suggestion is don't choose this restaurant for a date or a formal occasion, cuz it is super expensive & it won't meet your expectations.

Extremely overpriced for the fare. Had the omakase for 2. We literally went for poutine afterwards because it was so little food. The portions on google where you see the plate of food, that isn't an individual serving, it was a shared plate for 2. Which is completely ridiculous for $110 per person. The nigiri sushi wasn't really much different from much cheaper restaurants.


The service was fantastic & attentative.

The fare is sourced somewhat locally, but i would have expected the price to reflect that, but they went the other way.

What an amazing food experience. Jun I, though a bit on the pricey side, was an excellent experience. We ordered the Omakase & Sushi Moriawase which was just the perfect amount of food to share between two people. The service was well paced, with our dining experience lasting just over two hours. Jun I is the perfect place to go on a dinner date with a loved one or simply go with friends to have a great night with amazing food. Highly recommend.

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

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.

The sushi was incredible but I cannot recommend this place due to the poor service.

When we showed up to the restaurant, we had a reservation at the bar but it was full - so we asked if we could grab a table (there were a few open). The waiter said no, the restaurant is fully booked so those are unavailable but in reality those tables stayed empty for the remainder of the evening.

We ordered two omakase dinners & thought that it was strange that half of the dishes were served in a family style shared plate - at the price point & for omakase we expected individual plating (this might just be the style of the restaurant).

The service throughout the night was poor - no one checked on us in terms of if we wanted more drinks or water. We had to flag down a waiter to get more water.

Again, if the price was lower my expectations would be different but at $95 per person plus drinks, tax & tip - we would have expected better service.
