Le restaurant Jun I a compris l'essentiel, offrir une cuisine japonaise de grande qualité. Ce lieu dispose d'un talentueux chef qui met à profit sa passion de l'art culinaire mondial et des nouvelles tendances. La fraîcheur et la finesse des aliments ne laissent aucun doute sur la réputation de cet endroit. Le mariage des styles s'harmonise avec une impressionnante carte des vins et une belle variété de saké. De plus, un menu de dégustation est disponible pour que vous puissiez goûter un peu à tout. L'intime et chaleureux décor est digne de vous faire vivre une expérience unique, à l'une des plus grandes tables japonaises de Montréal.
Dans l'ensemble, les critiques louent Jun I pour des sushis exceptionnels, des ingrédients frais et un service attentif, avec beaucoup qui citent l'omakase et l'uni comme des points forts et une ambiance à la fois animée et intime; certains soulignent des prix élevés, de longs délais entre les plats, des exécutions parfois inégales et l'impression que les changements post pandémie ont affecté l'ambiance, bien que plusieurs convives considèrent toujours que c'est l'une des meilleures expériences de sushi à Montréal.
The food is really good but the service was quite slow. It took 3h to finish omakase course. The server is really competent person so I think it is solely because of lack of staff.
My husband & I got the omakase for two. We enjoyed our time & food, but if we were to return in the future, I think we would order sushi off the regular menu. Most of the omakase dishes were good, but a few too many of them were just'okay' for our liking. Nonetheless, we are huge sushi fans & we enjoyed our time.

Je recommande vivement l'omakase. Très belle expérience culinaire. L'assortiment des plats est très bien choisi & le goût de chaque plat est excellent. Nous avons adoré.
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.
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.
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.

Got the omakase (tasting menu) here. While the food was generally good & the value is unbeatable, I feel like the flavours were not very balanced for some of the dishes. The flavour profile here leans heavily towards sour & zesty. There's a lot of citrus/yuzu & balsamic sauces used. It worked for the early salads & appetizers, but got exhausting towards the middle & I couldn't wait for the sushi for a palate reprieve. My favourite non-sushi dish was the wagyu, which really stood out for its umami & perfectly cooked rareness, although the thick bunch of carrots felt a bit excessive. When the sushi arrived, it did not disappoint. There was a variety of sashimi, rolls & traditional sushi. All were amazing & probably worth the price of the omakase on their own. My favourite was probably the pair of fried makis! Service was good & started quickly but slowed down A LOT the dinner crowd poured in after 7. Come early if you want prompt service & their full attention.
My honest review as a Montreal tourist from Toronto:
- Omakase was amazing & would probably be in the Michelin guide, especially for the price so I would say it deserves a Bib Gourmand at the very least
- the service was inconsistent, we had a couple good servers that explained each item & would occasionally check on us & others where they explain everything in french quickly & walk away. We do not speak French so we didn't understand at all.
- the ambiance was weird because for a higher end sushi experience we expected a quieter Japanese style environment but it was bar lounge & social environment which is probably enjoyed by the locals. I would suggest to separate the Omakase experience to the a la carte. This would make the restaurant perfect

Un repas chez Jun-i est toujours une fête, tant l'établissement se renouvelle dans l'excellence. Un omakase d'anthologie, à essayer sans hésiter, & des sakés magnifiques.
Tout était parfait. Un petit axe d'amélioration : nous avons pris le menu Omakase chacun. Eventuellement demander en amont aux clients si ça ne les dérange pas de partager des plats. Cela peut être délicat si les personnes ne se connaissent pas trop. Par ailleurs, cela donne aussi l'impression que les quantités sont divisées par deux.
food was top tier, BUT the service on the other hand was terrible. this was my second time coming here & had booked for a birthday. we ended up getting the omakase menu & the duck breast & crusted fish were my favourites (besides the sushi assortment of course). though, the downside was that we had waited such a long time in between each shared course. we were seated in the restaurant for two & a half hours, which is i think is not ideal for a six-course meal. mind you, the restaurant flow was overall moderate. overall, i would only come back for the à la carte as it seems that everyone after us was getting their food five times faster.

Hasn't skipped a beat, this is easily in the top 3 Japanese/ Sushi restaurants in the city. We already take the Omakase as we trust In their expertise to deliver a flawless dining experience! If you're on the fence don't think twice Jin-I is fantastic.
Divine. Omakase dishes are creative & delicious; sushi & sashimi are fresh & sweet. Service is warm & professional. (Merci encore, Charles.) In New York, this menu would cost easily three times as much.
I would never visit Montreal wiithout making a reservation here first.
Soirée magique !
Service Omakasé impeccable, recommandations de vins, cocktails & sakés délicieuses.
On y retournera pour plus de poissons succulents !
Nous avons passé une excellente soirée au Jun I. J'avais réservé pour la fête à mon conjoint & il a été très content de découvrir de vrais sushis. Nous avons pris la formule Omakase (4 entrées, 1 plateau de 15 morceaux & 1 dessert).
On nous a bien expliqué ce qu'on allait manger & on a nous bien conseillé sur un saké pour finir le repas.
Bel endroit pour fêter une occasion spéciale car assez dispendieux mais ça en vaut la peine.
