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.
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.
Nous avons passé une excellente soirée au Jun I. J'avais réservé pour la fête à mon conjoint & il a été très content de découvrir de vrais sushis. Nous avons pris la formule Omakase (4 entrées, 1 plateau de 15 morceaux & 1 dessert).
On nous a bien expliqué ce qu'on allait manger & on a nous bien conseillé sur un saké pour finir le repas.
Bel endroit pour fêter une occasion spéciale car assez dispendieux mais ça en vaut la peine.

We celebrated our wedding anniversary there. The best sushi I've had in Montréal, the Omakase menu was incredible: fresh, fun, & delicious. Every dish is beautifully presented. Definitely worth a visit! Lastly the service was the best I've had in a restaurant since covid. Definitely recommending the restaurant to friends. :)
Le meilleur resto de sushi à Mtl. Juni un très grand chef. Il nous offre une grande variété de poissons de qualité toujours délicieux. Un régal pour nos papilles.
Le service est excellent & l'accueil chaleureux.

The ambiance of the restaurant was lovely & the sushi was exceptional. The style of sushi is very simple with focus on fresh ingredients.
The only reason I did not give a 5 star review is because we showed up 10 minutes early for our reservation & there were 3-4 free tables. The hostess tried to seat us at the worst table & when I asked for another one, she said the others weren't ready yet. When I said we would just wait she seemed shocked. She came back 2 minutes later & sat us at one of the better tables. It was extremely weird & unnecessary!
The experience was smooth sailing after that with great service from our waiter, delicious sushi & lovely drinks.
Excellent! I have wondered why it seemed rather expensive, & now I understand. You get what you pay for! The best sushi since I was in Japan a decade ago, & then only at a few stand-out places. Thank you.
