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.

unique flavoured makis & greatly presented

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 %.

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.

Came to Ryu on Valentine's day for their fixed menu & had a pleasant experience. Very fresh fish. The sashimi platter, caviar crab roll & toro maki were among my favourites. The wagyu tataki was very tender & flavourful, but not worth the extra $20 in my opinion. The presentation & service is superb.

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.

Nice low key vibes here. Intimate yet relaxing & calm ambiance. Very courteous staff.

Ordered a few things here & they were all plated beautifully.

The wagyu surf & turf maki was nicely done. Wagyu was delicate.

Toro & chutoro nigiri was standard, which sometimes is the best. Lightly dressed up.

Will need to come back to try other dishes.
