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.

Nous avons été très satisfaites autant pour la nourriture que par le service attentionné des employés. La qualité & la fraîcheur des poissons ont été au rendez-vous! Nous recommandons sans hésitation ce restaurant.

Très bon service, bonne vibe générale dans le restaurant.

I went for dinner with my boyfriend last night. We found both food & service exceptionally wonderful. We were served by William who made the experience incredibly worthwhile & one we will never forget. The food & services not only exceeded our expectations, they also set the bar high for future dining experiences. We hope to return again in the future & will certainly recommend Jun I to our circle.

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

We had the omakase & was really underwhelmed by the experience. I have had omakase around the world & this was the first time I've had to share dishes with my dining partner. The portion sizes were small but ok for omakase I guess, but for 2 people to share a tiny 2 oz portion of black cod was both awkward & comical. I rather you charge me a little more & give me a proper dish on my own. Very weird plating choice, especially coming out of a pandemic. I dined here today with my cousin, but if I was taking a client out it would have been really weird to share those tiny dishes. The flavour & actual dishes were pretty good. The whelks with apples had a nice balance of acid & sweet. We really enjoyed the grilled octopus & nori paste. Smokey & full of umami. The black cod was well cooked but really tiny. The dessert was delicious, seasonal strawberry & rhubarb with a nice light sabayon. But the worst part of the meal was the sushi. Really disappointed. Aside from a pretty good tuna roll, everything else was just blah. First of all, I would not expect Maki rolls & creamy stuff on a omakase menu. I was expecting high quality sushi nigiri. Some of the creamy mayo stuff crab & scallop & some fried sushi roll was just gross. The fish was not sliced uniformly. Service was ok, friendly but not very intuitive. I had finished my beer after second course & was going to order more saké. But server didn't ask about another drink until we were halfway done the sushi course, by then I said forget it, not spending more money here. I had high hopes for this place & there were definitely some winners but overall was underwhelming & would not go back or recommend.

Sushis haut de gamme sur l'avenue Laurier Ouest. Grande diversité de poissons différents sur les sushis qu'on ne retrouve habituellement pas ailleurs. Le prix est en fonction de la qualité, pas de la quantité. Ne soyez donc pas surpris que les plats soient plus chers qu'ailleurs. Par exemple, j'ai pris l'assiette de Sushi Moriamase à 65$ pour 15 morceaux. J'ai donc eu l'occasion de découvrir plusieurs poissons dont je ne connaissais pas. En entrée j'ai pris la salade Kaiso qui est composée de plusieurs sortes d'algues avec une sauce au milieu. Je vous recommande fortement cette salade!

Le service a été excellent du début jusqu'à la fin! Notre serveur a été en mesure de nommer la quinzaine de poissons dans mon assiette & comment ils ont été préparés, il connaissait bien son menu & il en était clairement passionné.

La bière est à bon prix (9$ le verre) & est servie bien froide & très rapidement.

L'ambiance est bonne, vers 21h les lumières sont tamisées, il y a un peu de bruit lorsque les gens parlent fort, c'est normal & on s'y habitue. J'ai remarqué que tous les autres clients avaient l'air agréablement surpris lorsque leurs plats arrivaient.

Nous avons réservé avec LibroServe & la table était prête à l'heure.

En plus d'avoir visité le restaurant, j'ai également fait une commande de boîte pour emporter il y a quelques mois (Omakase pour deux personnes 150$). J'ai inclus une photo (celle avec les boîtes). Nous avons adoré ce festin que nous avons mangé à 3. Déjà hâte de retourner à ce restaurant ou y commander pour emporter.
