Review Summary

Overall, reviews describe Ryu as a standout sushi spot with very fresh fish, well executed nigiri and sashimi, and stylish, welcoming ambiance with attentive staff and strong drink options, even as a few visits highlight price and portion issues; the omakase experience is praised for overall quality but marred for some by uneven maki portions when sharing among a group and by the fixed-portion approach at a higher price, while takeout and lunch specials receive high marks for value and consistency; there are notes about a striking, modern design amid occasional discrepancies between the interior and online photos, and a rare service misstep in one visit that temporarily disrupted the mood; overall, many reviews express a desire to return for the quality of fish and the thoughtful dining experience.

Je suis arrivée lundi à 12h30. Pendant l'heure précédente, j'étais coincée dans les embouteillages & je cherchais une place de stationnement sans arrêt. Après avoir payé 25 dollars canadiens pour me garer, le restaurant était finalement fermé, alors que Google Maps indiquait qu'il était ouvert. C'est vraiment frustrant.

We got the omakase menu
It is advertised as a 5 course menu
In it, 2 of the courses are a bowl of edamame & a miso soup
The 3rd is a minuscule scallop amuse-bouche
4th & 5th were 6 hosomaki & 6 sushi per person
They gave us extra moshi for dessert since we looked disappointed
Everything was extremely tasty & well presented
We left hungry & down 250$ per person including drinks, we spent well over 2 hours
There are a lot of better options around
We won't go back

Ordered here for the first time to check it out. Sorely disappointed. 164$ for 16 pieces & no better than Sushi Shop. Maiko sushi was our 1st option & we should have gone with them.

Absolutely loved everything about this sushi restaurant! Every dish we tried was incredibly fresh, beautifully presented, & full of flavor. You can really see the care & quality in every plate.

A special thank you to the gentleman who took such amazing care of us , I believe he was the manager or possibly the owner. Even if he wasn't, he truly went above & beyond to make sure every customer was happy & comfortable. His kindness, attention, & service made our experience even more special.

Highly recommend this place, & we will definitely be coming back!

An honour to bring vision, symbolism, & artistry together alongside William for the launch of this exceptional culinary creation. 🍣✨

A name is never simply a name in luxury hospitality - it becomes identity, atmosphere, & legacy.

Together, we chose:

?? - Jush?

A refined Japanese-inspired expression meaning:
'Mastery of Longevity & Craft.'

* ? (Ju) ? longevity, elegance, celebration
* ? (Sh? / Takumi) ? master craftsmanship & artistry

Created to embody precision, sophistication, & the elevated spirit behind this special chef collaboration.

Grateful to contribute creatively to a concept where culinary excellence meets modern luxury. 🥂

I've been going to Ryu since 2023 & it's the best sushi in Montreal! Here are some MUST tries: Salmon Tacos, Salmon Nigiri, & Kaizen Roll. That being said whatever you order I assure you gonna love it.

The staff is really nice & caring you feel like a guest rather than a customer. Super cute spot for a date night or girls night 😍🍱

RYU Sushi est vraiment à un autre niveau pour les sushis à Montréal. La qualité du poisson est incroyable, tout est très frais & préparé avec beaucoup de soin. Les présentations sont aussi très élégantes. L'endroit est moderne & calme. Comme expérience, c'était haut de gamme autant pour le goût que pour la qualité. Le service était aussi très professionnel & attentionné. Je vais définitivement revenir.

This is by far the best sushi I've had in Montreal. It reminds me of when I went to Japan. Best place to get fresh quality sushi & top ingredients. The otoro was outstanding & the kampachi nigiri was incredible. The service was good, & very fast. The hamachi baby roll was really good too. I can't wait to go back & try more of their menu. The presentation of the food was very beautiful.

Je suis une habituée des restos sushi, au moins une fois par semaine. J'ai eu une assez bonne expérience au Ryu Westmount mais quel désappointement au Ryu Peel. Il y a tellement de meilleurs restos sushis à Montréal.

Everything was on point: the latest music trend to reflect the downtown vibe, the decor was a mixt of modern & rustic to make it cozy & the sushi was very delicious. Definitely one of the top 3 best sushi place in Montréal. 🙏🏿👑

Très bons nigiris & sashimis, tout était frais & savoureux. Le service était impeccable !

Le seul bémol concerne le menu de groupe : la quantité de makis n'est pas bien répartie, ce qui fait que chacun n'a pas le même nombre de morceaux, un peu étrange pour un partage équitable.

Aussi, j'ai été déçue de voir que le pourboire au terminal est calculé après les taxes, avec des suggestions à partir de 18 %.

Amazing place. Best sushi we have ever had. Was worried it was too fancy, but it was a good Ballance. Yes slightly expensive, but the best nijiri we have ever had.

Place looks really cool too. Amazing decor & design.

Friendly helpful staff.

11/10.

Great cocktails & drink selection too. Made the right choice. Would go back.

We tried the omakase as a group of four & the food was overall very good. Most dishes were well executed.

The only negative was with the maki course. We were served four different types of rolls, but each roll only had six pieces despite all four of us ordering the $150 omakase ($600 only for food + $sake & $desserts). This meant we had to split unevenly & decide who gets which type instead of each person enjoying the full experience.

When we asked, we were told that each roll'comes in six pieces.' At this price point, that explanation doesn't make sense. A tasting menu should be adapted to the number of guests so everyone receives equal portions.

As it stands, the more people you are, the less each person gets, which feels inconsistent for a fixed-price experience.

Great food overall, but this detail took away from what should have been a seamless experience.

The service: wonderful!
The quality of the food: top one.
The environment: such a harmonious one.
