Review Summary

Jun I is widely recognized as a premier destination for high-quality sushi in Montreal, celebrated for its fresh ingredients, artistic presentation, and attentive service. Many diners praise the Omakase experience and specialty rolls, noting that the sophisticated flavors and unique textures justify the premium price for special occasions. While the vast majority of guests describe their visits as exceptional and memorable, some recent reviews point to inconsistencies in food quality, slower service intervals, and a perceived decline in ambiance. Despite mixed feedback regarding pacing and pricing, the restaurant remains a top recommendation for those seeking an elevated and authentic Japanese dining experience in the city.

No where close to rank 45 on the Best 100 list. Definitely outside of 100. Subpar service quality & servers lack of knowledge of restaurant menu & sushi. Sushi/Sashimi seemed like were made by trainee.

While we had done our booking for 9pm via Libro & there were also availability for 9:30pm we were greeted as if we came to beg for free food at 9:05pm... the host told us, even before asking whether we had a reservation or not, that we would need to wait, only for him to come back & rudely say that the chef was not going to prepare more food so we wouldn't get a table.. I was stunt & told him btw we have a booking at 9pm, so I didn't see what the problem was. The host was rude, raised his tone & then said yes you have a booking but you're late... Shocking as the time was 9:06 & had been waiting for about 3-4 min in the cue... I am bilingual so was able to speak to him in French & tell him that with such a welcome I am really not sure whether I still want this table after all... not the best welcome when you're on a date & as a Montrealer definitely not the impression you want to give to foreign guests.

Knowing that there's plenty more restaurants that offer great Sushis with a more civilized & respectful welcome & hosts, I would consider twice before going back to Jun-I.

That being said the service we received from the waiters afterwards, & not the guy who hosted us thankfully, was really good & amicable. Food was also a reminder that I did well not just walking away & that the whole restaurant shouldn't be judged by one host who doesn't know how to treat & talk to customers who come & spend money in his establishment.

Overall Jun-I is a good place but far from owning the laver sole critics have given it of the best sushi of Montreal.

Having been to Japan & having interacted many times with Japanese people, I would recommend that the owners provide a Japanese 101 culture & etiquette for the host, this could be a nice eye opening experience for him.... Humility, simplicity & respect being at the core of Japanese hospitality.
