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.
Tout était parfait. Un petit axe d'amélioration : nous avons pris le menu Omakase chacun. Eventuellement demander en amont aux clients si ça ne les dérange pas de partager des plats. Cela peut être délicat si les personnes ne se connaissent pas trop. Par ailleurs, cela donne aussi l'impression que les quantités sont divisées par deux.

food was top tier, BUT the service on the other hand was terrible. this was my second time coming here & had booked for a birthday. we ended up getting the omakase menu & the duck breast & crusted fish were my favourites (besides the sushi assortment of course). though, the downside was that we had waited such a long time in between each shared course. we were seated in the restaurant for two & a half hours, which is i think is not ideal for a six-course meal. mind you, the restaurant flow was overall moderate. overall, i would only come back for the à la carte as it seems that everyone after us was getting their food five times faster.

Tout est délicieux comme d'habitude.
Les lucky maki semblent avoir beaucoup de riz ce qui rend le maki lourd & dilue le goût du centre. Autrement excellent !
