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.
Souper d'anniversaire de ma conjointe. Tout était parfait. Avons commandé l'omakaze (choix du chef) qui inclut 3 entrées & un plat de 15-20 sushis, tous excellents. Service efficace & aimable. Nous y retournerons plus souvent !
Our main waiter was excellent, made some great choices for us, & mezcal- apple cocktail was delicious.
However, reservation management & room management is poor. We had a reservation at the bar & I asked if we could be switched to a table if possible given I have back pain. I was half rudely it was impossible, only to notice there were free tables all evening. We were clearly uncomfortable & were never offered to switch at any point in the evening. Shows very poor care for clients.
Nous adorons JunI! Nous y allons plusieurs fois par année. Les oursins, les temakis de crabe a carapace molle, le toro... Quel délice! C'est ça l'umami!
Staff attentive. Menu interesting.
Black cod entree outstanding. Spicy tuna sushi delicious.
Would benefit from bartender & not wait staff doing both waiting & bartending.
Bathroom needs some charm to match the restaurant.
Each dish was fresh & flavourful. The portions were also very generous. Easily the best sushi restaurant in Montreal & would highly recommend to any foodie.
Quel fabuleux festin!
L'omekase: pétoncles tendres, pieuvre un peu trop piquante, poisson blanc délicieux, palourdes tellement fraîches.
Les nigiris, sashimis & makis extraordinairement délicieux.
Nous aurions aimé un peu plus de dessert au chocolat blanc, tellement fantastique!
