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.
Toujours un de nos restos chouchous ! J'adore leurs oursins en provenance du Québec & ceux en provenance du Japon! Leurs saké, les sushis & la fraîcheur de leurs poissons... tout est bon, élégant, réconfortant!
Nous y retournons régulièrement.
Great dinner at Jun I. My husband & I did the Omakase & all the appetizers listed were beautifully presented, wonderfully flavored & delicate, & had a great balance of flavors. The chef's choice sushi/sashimi/nigiri portion had good sized portions of everything. I was almost too full to finish, but we did it! The wait staff were friendly, funny, & personable. We had a wonderful time & hope to be back again one day.
1st. class restaurant - in all aspects: food, presentation, service, timeliness, furnishings, ambiance. Arigato! Okini! Will be back asap. I give it a 15 out of 10.
Haven't been back in a little over a year, I remember it being much better. Might not return after this trip. Sushi was still good, other dishes not as much. Service was bad.
Jun I is the best sushi restaurant in Montréal - everything is perfect, the service, the atmosphere, &, of course, the food - sushi is simply divine, but don't forget to try their desserts, which are as delicious as they are beautiful!
