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.
Les critiques réunies décrivent Jun I comme une expérience de sushi haut de gamme, avec des poissons frais, des plats soignés et une présentation qui séduisent par leur équilibre. L'ambiance oscille entre calme et énergie selon les soirées, et le service est souvent qualifié de chaleureux et attentif, même si certains trouvent le démarrage lent et les délais entre les plats plus longs que prévu. Beaucoup insistent sur la qualité exceptionnelle des sushis et des commandes omakase, certains le considérant comme le meilleur sushi de Montréal et l'un des meilleurs du Canada, avec des mentions pour le uni, le hamachi sashimi, le maguro taru taru et des desserts comme le banane hojicha. Des critiques ponctuelles évoquent des portions parfois plus petites et des plats qui peuvent être épicés ou trop salés, ainsi que des tarifs élevés qui ne justifient pas toujours la dépense pour tout le monde. Malgré cela, l'ensemble des avis souligne une expérience culinaire remarquable et un cadre idéal pour des occasions ou des repas entre amis, faisant de Jun I une adresse souvent recommandée pour explorer des saveurs et textures innovantes à Montréal.
Really good quality (some of it local) fish, chill atmosphere & excellent service! We chose the smaller sushi option x 2 & it was plenty of food. Such a wonderful spot
We had a delicious & fun mean at Jun I. We loved the service, & the fish was very fresh. It was billed as the best omakase in Montreal &, while great, it is not. The hot & cold dishes were ok, but stand out. The sushi & sashimi were great but the maki roll we got was ok. Recommend trying it & loving it when you have the right expectations.
Top sushi for quality & freshness. Definitely get a variety sashimi. The miso soup has such deep & delicious flavours. They also offer a wide variety of rolls. The one thing I wish this restaurant had was sushi made at & served at the bar, like true omakase style.
Excellent sushi place. They have a small, but meaningful menu. The restaurant is very lively & inviting. We had dinner on a Wed, starting at open, & by 7 pm, all the tables were full. Three primary things on the menu: - "omakase" (in quotes because it is table-side, not traditional, bar-side, one-bite at a time). Includes 4 hot dishes, & 15 nigiri, maki, sashimi, - only the 15 raw-fish option, - a-la-carte. We opted for the 15 raw-fish option "omakase" with a couple of add-ons. The candied salmon trout was amazing. Sushi were fresh & tasty, albeit no premium pieces (CAD 75 for 15 pieces is quite generous, & hard to get premium pieces), Service was fantastic. Recommend.
Went in on a Friday evening, & the main issue was the service. Our waiter forgot a part of our order (miso soup), & as the first sushi (fried) plate came in, we asked about the soup. The waiter came by & accused us of not ordering it, which was of poor taste. We were also disappointed that the restaurant served us their sushi rolls before serving us our sashimi orders. At 8pm on a Friday, they were out of ingredients for martinis. Just overall disappointing, & not a sushi experience I would repeat.
Nous y sommes aller un samedi soir pour un anniversaire. Service impeccable, attentionné, belles recommandations de saké. Ambiance relax. Nous avons pris un Omakasé & un sushi moriawasé. Le rythme des plats était parfait. L'ensemble des plats était excellent. Nous avons raffolé de la truite confite (Masu Kinsey) & des pétoncles (Hotate kobujime), un peu moins du plat de pieuvre qui était très « gastrique »& qui, selon notre goût personnel, ne magnifiait pas la pieuvre grillée. Les sushi étaient tous, sans surprise, d'une fraîcheur idéale, le maki de pétoncle était sublime. Une excellente expérience culinaire.
As a group of seven, we ordered the omakase menu. The owner, Jun san, made us feel welcome from the very beginning. From the appetizers to the main sushi & desserts, everything was a delightful surprise. My companions repeatedly said that each item was the best Japanese food they had ever eaten. We had a great time here with thier food & service & were so happy with our choice. As I knew from before, he is the best chef & & definitely want to come again!
A very lovely sushi restaurant, where I would have to recommend at least doing the moriawase option. I did not try the omakase option, & maybe regret not doing so in hindsight. If deciding a la carte, do try the scallop gunkan & if possible the japanese mackerel (it was a unique offering during our visit). The establishment is pretty but small & relatively modest. Almost too small as you can hear a loud table quite easily. You may be taken aback by the simplicity of it all, including the disposable chopsticks for your use. Hiding behind the first impressions however are a warm towel to clean your hands, unique off-menu options, a knowledgeable & thoughtful server, & an amuse bouche that was a substantially sized gunkan sushi in our case. Be ready to pay upwards of $100 per person to leave satisfied, but also be ready to receive over-average sushi sizes. Each piece of sushi is on average 5 dollars with regards to the moriawase, but each is sized reasonably. I enjoyed the Jun Gin cocktail, sumashi soup appetizer, & the white chocolate/yuzu/fennel dessert. The latter was very unique, helped cut the fishiness left over on my plate, & frankly made my night. I hope to return here!
One of my favourite sushi places in Montreal. They could change the menu a bit more but at least it's great everytime you go. I've been several times & recommend!

The service is good, but the food is disappointing. The Omakase tasting menu is 90$ per person so I had high expectation, but turns out the food doesn't stand out from other normal sushi restaurants (price range around 30$ per person). What frustrated me most is the whole environment. As an expensive Japanese sushi restaurant with tasting menu, the chopsticks are disposable. I mean, can you imagine a steakhouse gives its customers plastic knife & fork? Also, it was super noisy in the back & the background music is just too loud, from Flo Rida's Low to Bon Jovi's It's My Life. I love all these music, but I just expected a more quiet & formal environment here. Overall, the food & environment just aren't worth the price. My suggestion is don't choose this restaurant for a date or a formal occasion, cuz it is super expensive & it won't meet your expectations.
Ceci est de loin le meilleur restaurant de sushi à Montréal. La nourriture est toujours excellente & le service aussi. Notre serveur préféré Simon, nous accueille toujours à bras ouvert & offre le meilleur service personnalisé! Il nous recommande toujours des nouveaux plats & nous sommes jamais déçu!
Such great food & service! This was a dinner date/surprise for me & I was thrilled with the experience. It's small & intimate, but service is quick & attentive. The sushi was incredible & it was quite affordable for al a cart or tasting menu options & a great selection of unique dishes as well.
