Review Summary

Overall, reviews describe Ryu as a standout sushi spot with very fresh fish, well executed nigiri and sashimi, and stylish, welcoming ambiance with attentive staff and strong drink options, even as a few visits highlight price and portion issues; the omakase experience is praised for overall quality but marred for some by uneven maki portions when sharing among a group and by the fixed-portion approach at a higher price, while takeout and lunch specials receive high marks for value and consistency; there are notes about a striking, modern design amid occasional discrepancies between the interior and online photos, and a rare service misstep in one visit that temporarily disrupted the mood; overall, many reviews express a desire to return for the quality of fish and the thoughtful dining experience.

Set dinner with fresh & tasty sashimi & sushi. Price was high.

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 %.

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.

Excellente cuisine, prix raisonnables pour la qualité. On avait oublié de nous servir un plat de sashimi. Quand on l'a rappelé au serveur, il s'est excusé, nous a offert non seulement une consommation gratuite mais les sashimis également, ce qui était au-delà des attentes! Excellent service. Je recommande fortement cet établissement.
