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.
One of rare restaurant that serve you a wet hot towel before eating. You know that service will be exceptional. The food was exquisitely balanced. Nothing over powering. It was like in a good dream. Will comme back even with the same price tag.
Excellent service. Main dining room needs a refresh. The food was outstanding. Lovely presentation. I enjoy the consistency of service & food quality. Kudos to the Juni team for the hard work & dedication during the pandemic. You should be proud of your accomplishments.
The food is exceptional, as per usual. Extremely fresh ingredients & knowledgeable, friendly staff. Their attention to detail is just perfect. Highly recommend the Omakase tasting menu.
Un repas chez Jun I, c'est toujours une fête & la certitude d'un festin. Tout fut comme d'habitude parfait, avec une richesse & une variété de saveurs unique.

Jun I had a nice ambiance & the cocktails were very well made! The staff was courteous & understood the menu well enough to make good recommendations while being considerate of the prices.
The appetizers were okay, but the real stars of the show were the maki rolls. The fish was high quality & you can tell they took good care in preparing each piece.
The pace that each course was brought was great & it allowed us enough time enjoy each course without having to rush through it!
Overall, a nice experience & would recommend for a date or for some good quality Japanese cuisine.
i have been here twice, but i brought my father who was visiting from California. he & i have been eating sushi since I was a baby in 1994, & my father has been frequenting Morimoto's in Napa for quality rice & fish.
he said that Jun I had some of the best quality nigiri he's had. our server suggested a gorgeous bottle of saké that my father greatly enjoyed (& me too), & the Quebec uni was amazing. I had been looking for quality uni in the city since October 2020, so it was really lovely to get my hands on such a delicious reunion with the flavor.
thank you very much, we loved our visit & as always i will definitely be back. Jun I is by far the best quality for price, with beautiful treatment of the rice, unique fishes, & wonderful staff.
