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 😍🍱

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.

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 %.

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.

Atmosphère reposée & verdoyante & service à emporter, qualité décente, prix... INDÉCENTS?

Un bar à sushi bien situé qui se distingue par une déco vraiment zen & exemplaire, ainsi que par un certain respect de l'environnement. La carte de Nigiri y est limitée, mais la sélection est bonne. On a choisit 2 bentos, à emporter. Ici, on mange bien & frais, & la conscience aussi.. mais vraiment PEU pour le prix ! Celà explique le 3/5 rapport qualité/prix.

Seul reproche & pas des moindres donc, attendez vous à payer vraiment plus cher que les autres sushi bars & buffet de sushi à volonté, pour une quantité qui selon nous ne justifie aucunement d'y revenir. On a trouvé des bentos tout aussi frais pour bien moins cher juste à côté sur Mcgill ave.. Passez quand même y prendre une bouffée d'air pour le fun!
