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.
Un véritable feu d'artifice tout en écoutant l'hymne à la joie. Le plaisir est total & immense, comme toujours. Que ce soit pour la qualité des plats & du service. Le restaurant Juni est le meilleur de tous.
Quel excellent repas!
Nous avions commandé l'Omakase; dorade en amuse-bouche fraîche dans sa sauce; calmars avec cumquat goûteux; magret de canard parfaitement assaisonné; truite avec un crumble fantastique; puis les nigiris, makis & sashimi, extraordinaires.
Le dessert à la crème & chocolat blanc (gâteau fromage déconstruit) délicieux mais aurait pu être un peu plus copieux.
Service totalement impeccable! Bravo !
On y retournera bien évidemment.
Les poissons sont extrêmement frais. L'omble chevalier, le bar rayé, l'oursin, le caviar de saumon: délicieux.
Nous aurions aimé qu'il soit spécifié quels makis sont cuits; on aime moins.
Le saké froid est très bon, & assez doux pour ceux qui aiment moins, le cocktail Paloma à base de tequila est surprenamment bon.
Le Mille crêpes est un choix sûr. La glace à l'oursin assorti d'un filet d'huile est audacieux mais... sans danger.
Le service est un peu long & il faut faire ses propres choix. L'«Assortiment du chef» est banal, mieux vaut se lancer.

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.
