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.
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.
JunI est parmi nos restos chouchous à Montréal! Produits frais! Créativité ! Du Juni à son meilleur ! L'équipe en salle & celle en cuisine font également qu'on y revient. & très bon choix de saké.
La nourriture est élégante. Les mélanges de texture sont extraordinaires. Les poissons sont frais. Nous vous remercions des accommodements pour le dessert. Le décor est harmonieux. Le service est irréprochable.
We go here once a month, & love it. Eric is our waiter & always offers a great & friendly experience. The quality of the food is always great, & the ambiance is amazing too. Our go-to place whenever we want to go out for a fancier dinner!

Bonjour,
Première visite plus qu'attendu.
Surtout service impeccable.
Organisation respectueuse des demandes spéciales
Enfin belle découverte de Saké qui accompagne les plats parfaitement préparés.
Après avoir passé quelques années à l'étranger, c'était un réel bonheur de retrouver Jun I & de voir que ce merveilleux restaurant est toujours à la hauteur. Que ce soit tant dans les assiettes qu'au niveau du service, tout était parfait!
The sushi was incredible but I cannot recommend this place due to the poor service.
When we showed up to the restaurant, we had a reservation at the bar but it was full - so we asked if we could grab a table (there were a few open). The waiter said no, the restaurant is fully booked so those are unavailable but in reality those tables stayed empty for the remainder of the evening.
We ordered two omakase dinners & thought that it was strange that half of the dishes were served in a family style shared plate - at the price point & for omakase we expected individual plating (this might just be the style of the restaurant).
The service throughout the night was poor - no one checked on us in terms of if we wanted more drinks or water. We had to flag down a waiter to get more water.
Again, if the price was lower my expectations would be different but at $95 per person plus drinks, tax & tip - we would have expected better service.

Amazing dining experience. Charles was my waiter, fantastic service, very detail oriented. I had the full omakase, amazing attention to detail for all the dishes, delicate, amazing experience of textures & flavors, nothing was overpowering, & the final plate of sushi was great, generous cuts, great quality.
Encore une fois EXCELLENT ! La qualité est toujours au top. Le prix également mais cela en valait la peine. Je vais continuer d'économiser pour y retourner.

Délicieuse expérience culinaire! Le service est impeccable! Je le recommande sans hésiter! Mais l'excellence exige une réservation pour ne pas être déçu! J'y retourne c'est certain!
