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, Jun I is described as a premier sushi destination with exceptionally fresh fish, standout uni and omakase that many reviewers rate as among the best in Montreal. The atmosphere is frequently praised as lively yet intimate, with warm and attentive service that adds to the experience, though a few reviews note slower or uneven pacing at high prices. Many guests highlight creative dishes and careful preparation, such as expertly prepared nigiri, sashimi and seasonal courses, and some call it the best sushi in the city or even Canada. A minority mention that some courses can be over spiced or overly salty and that portions or value may not fully match expectations given the price, while others report consistently excellent quality across the menu. In sum, Jun I is viewed as an impressive, high end sushi experience ideal for special occasions, with caveats about price and occasional service pacing.
My husband & I got the omakase for two. We enjoyed our time & food, but if we were to return in the future, I think we would order sushi off the regular menu. Most of the omakase dishes were good, but a few too many of them were just'okay' for our liking. Nonetheless, we are huge sushi fans & we enjoyed our time.
The we worst sushi ever. I ve been to this restaurant few years ago, itcwas an amazing experience. But yesterday i was really disappointed & sad. Paying more than 100 $ for a mediocre food & sushi. It was very amateurish. I will ever go again to this restaurant instead i ll learn how to make my own sushi since am used to buy a very high quality of fish. Why bother to throw away my money on a such bad experience. It's a total scam. Mistake a client with the poor food but very expensive one. Not to mention long service.

Very disappointing experience, food was average. Our server was nice but the others were rude. There are so many great options for sushi than this one.
Really loved this place & was happy I was able to get in during this visit to Montreal. The sushi & service was excellent, along with a great ambiance for dinner. The menu was way bigger than I thought it'd be which is always a good thing. The more things to try the better!
We got the omakase for two. I think the food was fine, the sushi itself being the best part. If we were to do it again we would probably only get sushi because we found that some of the other dishes slightly lacked seasoning. The evening started pretty quiet & quickly got busy & louder, but we were still able to enjoy the end of our meal. Service was efficient & professional though not particularly warm or inviting.

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 $110 per person. The nigiri sushi wasn't really much different from much cheaper restaurants.
The service was fantastic & attentative.
The fare is sourced somewhat locally, but i would have expected the price to reflect that, but they went the other way.
What an amazing food experience. Jun I, though a bit on the pricey side, was an excellent experience. We ordered the Omakase & Sushi Moriawase which was just the perfect amount of food to share between two people. The service was well paced, with our dining experience lasting just over two hours. Jun I is the perfect place to go on a dinner date with a loved one or simply go with friends to have a great night with amazing food. Highly recommend.
Le service est impeccable & on se sent très bien à l'intérieur du restaurant. Les serveurs & serveuses sont excellents & connaissent bien leur menu. Néanmoins, pour un restaraunt haut de gamme, je m'attendais à une qualité supérieure des sushis, ce que je n'ai pas eu lors de ma visite. La plupart des sushis étaient corrects. Ce qu'on a beaucoup aimé : le saumon (+++ ça fond en bouche), le hamachi épicé, le unagi dynamite & le lucky maki. Pour le prix payé (entre 10-16$ les 5 morceaux de maki & 10$ pour 2 sashimis), le rapport qualité/prix n'était pas à la hauteur de mes attentes. Peut-être une soirée manquée ? À suivre si je reviens pour essayer lors d'une prochaine occasion.
Best service & best sushi in Montreal. Lovely vibe. Toro, uni & other treats. Great saké list with Dassai options. One of my top 5 restaurants in Montreal.
The sushi was good quality however the sashimi was very cold. Our waiter served us the wrong hand roll & just said my bad. We didn't have the best service experience.

For those who love sushi, the sushi is exceptional quality. Each bite was a delight. Felt like dancing as the flavors of the sea penetrated my senses. Unfortunately, the service was almost painful. I shared with the waiter that it was my friend's birthday. The waiter was sadly unatentive & cold. It is a tiny restaurant. Yet, we had to ask several times for simple items like Wasabi & a soda. I love the food. Not impressed with the service.
Un cadre très agréable, le service est excellent, très propre, les plats possèdent un raffinement gustatif & visuel. Cependant, je trouve qu'il y avait 3 points négatifs à mon expérience : - Le ratio qualité-prix est exagéré - Le riz des nigiri était froid. Il devrait être servi autour 37deg. Il était vraiment froid, comme s'il sortait du réfrigérateur. Pour un restaurant axé sur les sushis, c'est un grand point négatif. - Servir une assiette pour deux est désagréable, malgré qu'on nous explique que c'est l'idée du repas découverte, mais l'expérience reste désagréable, on laisse facilement tomber des goutes entre l'assiette éloignée. En plus, la quantité ne change pas si vous êtes deux ou seul. Je ne peux pas conseiller JUNI. 5年前の方が良かった
Bonjour, je ne laisse jamais d'avis sur le web mais puisque vous me le demandez, j'ai été très déçue de notre service à la table. Les sushis étaient délicieux, mais le serveur nous faisait sentir de trop. Aucun sourire, air blasé & dégoûté de son travail. Heureusement, nous avons pris cela en riant car ça aurait pu gâcher notre repas. J'ai laissé un pourboire de 15 % en pensant que ça montrerait notre insatisfaction mais je le regrette, j'aurais dû ne laisser que 10 %. Évidemment un mauvais service crée une mauvaise ambiance de restaurant. C'est bien dommage.
