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.
The food was great & we had a very pleasant time. The service was good but relatively slow & whenever we asked for something more, we often had to do so more than once.
Junichi Ikematsu est un excellent chef. Détail, fraîcheur, rigueur...l'excellence. Le service est courtois & décontracté. Chaque visite ici est un pur délice.
Nous y allons chaque fois que nous venons à Montréal, cuisine de haut niveau & service impeccable. La salle est relativement petite & peut être assez bruyante lorsque toutes les tables sont occupées, ce qui n'enlève en rien le plaisir de déguster la cuisine raffinée de cet établissement.
Good, omakase menu was not too heavy, I wasn't overstuffed. Plates were complex with lots of textures & flavours. However, overall, there were no wow moments. Food was beautiful but not as tasty as it looked.

Après avoir dépensé presque $800 pour 4 personnes, 2 de nous ont eu des échardes dans les mains à cause des baguettes de bien mauvaise qualité. Cela serait tellement facile de fournir des baguettes moins "dangereuses"!
Very disappointing experience, food was average. Our server was nice but the others were rude. There are so many great options for sushi than this one.
Really loved this place & was happy I was able to get in during this visit to Montreal. The sushi & service was excellent, along with a great ambiance for dinner. The menu was way bigger than I thought it'd be which is always a good thing. The more things to try the better!
We got the omakase for two. I think the food was fine, the sushi itself being the best part. If we were to do it again we would probably only get sushi because we found that some of the other dishes slightly lacked seasoning. The evening started pretty quiet & quickly got busy & louder, but we were still able to enjoy the end of our meal. Service was efficient & professional though not particularly warm or inviting.
C'était notre première visite chez Jun I & nous y retournerons certainement. Nourriture exceptionnellement bonne & le personnel y est très agréable & courtois
Food was amazing except for the rolls that were a little bit less good in the experience. But overall, I would gladly come back for the nigiris & sashimis. The entrees were really good also.
