Review Summary

Ryu is widely celebrated for its exceptional sushi quality, with many patrons highlighting the freshness of the ingredients, the impressive presentation, and the flavorful variety of dishes like the signature salmon tacos, nigiri, and maki rolls. While the atmosphere is frequently described as cozy, modern, and perfect for date nights or special gatherings, opinions on the service remain varied; many guests praise the attentive and professional staff for making their experience unforgettable, though some patrons noted inconsistencies with group dining portions and occasional service lapses. Despite some mixed feedback regarding pricing and the execution of the omakase menu for larger groups, the majority of visitors consider Ryu a premier destination in Montreal, consistently returning for its elevated culinary standards and refined, inviting environment.

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!

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.

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.
