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.

We got the omakase menu
It is advertised as a 5 course menu
In it, 2 of the courses are a bowl of edamame & a miso soup
The 3rd is a minuscule scallop amuse-bouche
4th & 5th were 6 hosomaki & 6 sushi per person
They gave us extra moshi for dessert since we looked disappointed
Everything was extremely tasty & well presented
We left hungry & down 250$ per person including drinks, we spent well over 2 hours
There are a lot of better options around
We won't go back

Ordered here for the first time to check it out. Sorely disappointed. 164$ for 16 pieces & no better than Sushi Shop. Maiko sushi was our 1st option & we should have gone with them.

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!

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 😍🍱

RYU Sushi est vraiment à un autre niveau pour les sushis à Montréal. La qualité du poisson est incroyable, tout est très frais & préparé avec beaucoup de soin. Les présentations sont aussi très élégantes. L'endroit est moderne & calme. Comme expérience, c'était haut de gamme autant pour le goût que pour la qualité. Le service était aussi très professionnel & attentionné. Je vais définitivement revenir.

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.
