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.

Très bon service. Présentation très soignée des plats. Avons pris menu dégustation: ça vaut le coût. Je le recommande.
