Review Summary

Ryu is widely regarded as a premier destination for high-quality sushi in Montreal, frequently praised for the exceptional freshness of its fish and the artistry behind its beautifully presented dishes. Most visitors highlight the welcoming atmosphere and the attentive, professional service that often elevates the dining experience. While many guests consider it a top-tier choice for special occasions and appreciate the modern, cozy environment, some feedback suggests inconsistencies regarding portion sizes in group tasting menus and occasional service hiccups. Despite these mixed reports, the majority of patrons are impressed by the culinary craftsmanship and hospitality, often citing the Omakase and signature rolls as standout items worth returning for.

Such a disappointing experience. The staff were rude & unfriendly. Took our drink menus without asking if we wanted any drinks & then took mine away later before I could order. Took so long for the chefs special as well, when pieces arrived they were decent but the atmosphere & service were definitely disappointing

Excellent sushi! Some really good combinations from the chef selections- creative but amazing flavor pairings. Make sure to have warm sake. The presentation is beautiful. We sat outside on their nice terrace with the view towards Mont Royal. Perfect summer lunch.

Very very good, it's on the pricier side, but it's not your average sushi. Special love for the paradise & hamachi baby. We prefer the signature maki to the chef maki.

To be honest William saved the night. The food was great although me & my family had a few concerns considering our food allergies during the service. What I can say is that William was always there to address our needs & took the experience from an 8 out of 10 to a stunning 20/10. The food was amazing as well & credits to the chefs!!

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. 🥂
