Ryu is described as overpriced for an airport with limited options, and several reviews note slow service and a rude attitude when asking about timing, with food quality that often does not match price; items like ramen are called mediocre and milkshakes nearly flavorless, while some sushi and bowls turn out to be prepackaged or misrepresented, making the value questionable. Yet there are mentions of helpful staff, good packaging for travel, and a few positives such as a fresh tasting vegetarian poke bowl and reasonably solid prepackaged options for travelers on the go, especially when discounts apply. Overall, the impression is mixed to negative, suggesting cost and quality inconsistencies and a preference for elsewhere unless speed or convenience is the main goal.
I do not recommend this restaurant.
My experience started poorly with the cashier working the morning shift, who seemed extremely in a bad mood. I was reading the breakfast menu & wanted to check the lunch options, so I turned the page underneath. Without saying hello or good morning, she came over & simply closed the menu in front of me. That was very impolite & unprofessional.
Later, I waited about one hour for the lunch menu to become available & ordered the Salmon Lovers for my husband.
Unfortunately, the food was terrible. My husband couldn't even finish the Salmon Lovers - the salmon tasted old & had an unpleasant smell, & the rice was also of very poor quality. Overall, the dish was extremely disappointing.
Pire resto à l'aéroport YUL. Overpriced (of course) mais surtout pas bon. J'ai pris un ramen & c'était des linguinis comme nouilles, avec du poulet du micro-onde. Pire ramen que j'ai mangé

Degu…..j ai depensê 67 $ tres tres tres decu
Very disappointing experience. The prices here are already extremely high for what they offer, but the long wait time made it even worse. We asked the staff politely about our order because we were tight on time, & the response was,'We are a restaurant, not fast food. If you're in a hurry, you shouldn't order.'
At an airport, of all places-that attitude was truly shocking.
Food quality was far from matching the price. The ramen was mediocre, & the $15 milkshake was almost flavorless, basically just cold foam with a hint of sweetness. Absolutely not worth the money.
Overall: overpriced, slow, & rude. With this level of quality & service, I would not recommend anyone to eat here, especially if you have a flight to catch.
Quite good for airport stand food. Overpriced but so is everything inside the terminal, so am not penalizing them for it. We got the tokyo sushi set & chicken teryaki soba. It was well packaged & easy to bring on the plane.

Smoothie was outrageously pricey & wasn't even that good. Cashier put a bag of frozen fruits in a blender, let it run & forgot about it until 10 minutes later.
Out of spoons, out of eggs, no sushi (you had to get a prepackaged one with extra stuff at twice the price rather than order off the menu). Did replace my noodles after getting the protein wrong however. They call it ramen but it was an udon-like noodle in a pho broth. Expensive even for airport rates. Just avoid.
Got the Volcano burrito & it was pretty good for prepackaged sushi. Just Insanely expensive & not sure how good the quality of the fish was. Good if you're in a time crunch. For $24, I wish it was sushi someone made on the spot.

Photo non contractuelle. Vous pensez acheter le Ramen en photo mais rien à voir. Les oeufs sont en extra, la viande est celle qu'ils ont envie de vous mettre ....
Bref, à fuir sauf si vous avez une envie irrépressible de nourriture asiatique bâclée.
Loved the vegetarian poke bowl, super fresh & tasty! Veggies & rice were perfectly seasoned. Totally worth it with the 50% off deal. Definitely try it while discount is available
Teriyaki chicken cooked plate was mediocre & expensive. Only flavors were salt & spiciness. The vegetable ends were so hard & dry I had to pick them out while I was eating because I thought I might choke on them otherwise - cost $30. I wanted to go here because I thought it'd be better than McDonald's etc. but now I wish I went somewhere else. Only good thing was friendly service.
