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.
Impeccable comme d'habitude. La fraîcheur des aliments était irréprochable & chaque plat était un pur délice. Nous avons aussi grandement apprécié la sonorité ambiante qui était très agréable & nous a permis de jaser avec nos amis que nous n'avions pas vus depuis longtemps. Merci beaucoup pour tout cela & pour le travail déployé un 31 décembre.
Extremely overpriced for the fare. Had the omakase for 2. We literally went for poutine afterwards because it was so little food. The portions on google where you see the plate of food, that isn't an individual serving, it was a shared plate for 2. Which is completely ridiculous for $110 per person. The nigiri sushi wasn't really much different from much cheaper restaurants.
The service was fantastic & attentative.
The fare is sourced somewhat locally, but i would have expected the price to reflect that, but they went the other way.
What an amazing food experience. Jun I, though a bit on the pricey side, was an excellent experience. We ordered the Omakase & Sushi Moriawase which was just the perfect amount of food to share between two people. The service was well paced, with our dining experience lasting just over two hours. Jun I is the perfect place to go on a dinner date with a loved one or simply go with friends to have a great night with amazing food. Highly recommend.

Le service est impeccable & on se sent très bien à l'intérieur du restaurant. Les serveurs & serveuses sont excellents & connaissent bien leur menu. Néanmoins, pour un restaraunt haut de gamme, je m'attendais à une qualité supérieure des sushis, ce que je n'ai pas eu lors de ma visite. La plupart des sushis étaient corrects. Ce qu'on a beaucoup aimé : le saumon (+++ ça fond en bouche), le hamachi épicé, le unagi dynamite & le lucky maki. Pour le prix payé (entre 10-16$ les 5 morceaux de maki & 10$ pour 2 sashimis), le rapport qualité/prix n'était pas à la hauteur de mes attentes. Peut-être une soirée manquée ? À suivre si je reviens pour essayer lors d'une prochaine occasion.

Best service & best sushi in Montreal. Lovely vibe. Toro, uni & other treats. Great saké list with Dassai options. One of my top 5 restaurants in Montreal.
The sushi was good quality however the sashimi was very cold. Our waiter served us the wrong hand roll & just said my bad. We didn't have the best service experience.
Simon was our server & provided outstanding recommendations for wine & food. He even wrote us a list of other restaurants & bars to try in the neighborhood (he has lived there his whole life). The black cod appetizer is not to be missed, get 2! Also eat eel & hamachi which are handled expertly here. Tine place to have a lovely evening.
