Ryu receives mixed reviews from airport diners, with prices often judged as high for the quality and long waits making the experience feel even worse, and several accounts describe rude or unhelpful service when time is tight. Food quality varies widely, from ramen or sushi that falls short of expectations and questionable fish, to occasional items like prepackaged sushi or teriyaki bowls that are convenient for travel but still pricey, and drinks that can be overpriced or bland. Several comments note misrepresentation or inconsistency, such as dishes arriving with the wrong protein or noodles that resemble something other than what is advertised, and shortages or substitutions that force choices away from the menu. Some diners report small portions and extras charged separately, while a few items are described as decent for a quick bite, especially when time is really limited. Overall, the consensus leans toward avoiding if flight timing matters, though a handful acknowledge that certain prepackaged options or quick snacks can work in a pinch.
The service was very poor. I asked a question about the product to the cashier, & he started joking about it with his colleagues. It felt very disrespectful.

Sushis & nouilles immangeables ( poisson pas frais & poulet non plus ) . Le matcha goûter énormément la poudre le tout pour 55$ avec un café. À éviter !
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

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.
