We went to Ryu for my friend's birthday, & had an incredible evening on their patio !
The food lives up to the hype, & despite being there on busy Saturday, our waiter, Leo, stayed attentive all throughout our meal

Overpriced & disappointing. We spent about CAD $180 for two people & still left hungry. The service was even worse: when I came to pick up my takeout order, the server ignored me & walked away, but was noticeably warm & attentive to a white couple who entered at the same time. The difference in treatment made me feel discriminated against. I will not return.

I had a lovely dinner tonight at Ryu. From the moment we arrived, the service was excellent & we were greeted so warmly. The staff were incredibly sweet, attentive, & made us feel very welcome throughout the evening.
We really enjoyed our meal, & everything about the experience felt thoughtful & well done. The presentation of the dishes was beautiful & everything tasted very fresh. The atmosphere was perfect, not too crowded, which made it easy to relax & have a great conversation with my friend. It felt like such a cozy & enjoyable dining experience.

Overall, I loved everything about it & will definitely be coming back again!

My husband & I went to Ryu around 12:30 PM on a Tuesday, & the restaurant was almost a full house, which is always a good sign. Despite how busy it was, the waitress seated us right away.

We were looking through the menus when my husband asked if there was a lunch special, since we had seen a $39 lunch special sign outside. The waitress then realized that the lunch special menu hadn't been included with our menus & brought it to us right away.

I ordered the lunch special with the assortment makis, & my husband chose the sashimi, nigiri, & maki platter lunch special. Both lunch specials came with miso soup, which was comforting & well done.

We also ordered O-toro (fatty tuna) & itoyori (threadfin bream) sashimi, & these were absolutely exquisite & hands down some of the best quality fish we've had. The freshness, texture, & flavor really stood out & made the meal feel special.

When we asked for the bill, we noticed a small mistake: we were charged for two bottles of San Pellegrino instead of one. One of the waiters fixed it promptly without any issue, which we appreciated.

Overall, the food quality was excellent, service was attentive, & the lunch specials offer great value. A small hiccup aside, it was a very enjoyable experience, & we would definitely come back.
