Nourriture décevante, manque de texture, de saveur. Aucun wow.
Service catastrophique : plus de 30 minutes avant le premier contact avec le serveur, plats balancés sur la table, attente interminable pour recevoir la facture qui contenait toujours des erreurs.
Après bcp de bonnes critiques, nous allons au Jun I… je m attendais à une expérience hors de l ordinaire…. Mais ce ne fut pas le cas, bon mais comme un bon resto de sushis rien de plus … ne pas prendre place à l atelier c est un « take out » bcp de va & vient … Jun I est ds la moyenne rien de plus

Jun I was a wonderful dining experience & well worth the reservation. I had a 6:30 PM Saturday booking, which turned out to be perfect timing - the restaurant was already quite crowded when I arrived, & the energy felt lively but still intimate.
I started with two orders of uni as an appetizer. It was incredibly fresh & buttery, with a clean, rich flavor that really stood out. For my main, I ordered the gindara. The portion was smaller than I expected, but the taste absolutely delivered - deeply savory, perfectly cooked, & very satisfying. The uni was so good that I ended up ordering another round even after my main.
For dessert, I had the banane hojicha, which was a great finish to the meal. The server was extremely kind & thoughtful - he added a candle to my dessert & even poured me a complimentary glass of umeshu. Unfortunately I was already very full by then, but it was delicious & a really nice touch.
Overall, excellent food, warm service, & a great special-occasion spot. I'd definitely return.
Fish is consistently top 3 in Montreal. Maki/nigiri/sashimi always solid. Ambiance & service have declined post pandemic. No sushi bar anymore significantly hurts the ambiance.
Un désastre de restaurant.
J'étais allé un vingtaine de fois il y a 10/15 ans, c'était délicieux de mémoire.
Tout à changé depuis.
On a demandé une place au bar, ils nous ont dit que c'est plein… le bar est resté vide toute la soirée.
Le service est un désastre… le serveur ne nous salut pas… il nous dit: je vous regarde…
Comme si ça veut dire: je prend votre commande???
La soupe dégueulasse, Le tartare médiocre, aucun des 4 makis ne goûte bon…
Le serveur ne nous a jamais demandé si on voulait boire autre chose que de l'eau.
Jamais demandé si on voulait un dessert….
Ne retournez jamais là-bas…
Dernière fois pour moi & mon amoureuse.
Mikado, Park, même Sushi Shop sont beaucoup mieux…
Éviter à tout prix
Had my birthday dinner here, for my first ever tasting menu it was pretty good! I liked how the atmosphere picked up to a more energetic one as the night went on. The first dishes in their omakase had my friends & I raving about it afterwards.
