Review Summary

Ryu is widely regarded as a premier destination for high-quality sushi in Montreal, frequently praised for the exceptional freshness of its fish and the artistry behind its beautifully presented dishes. Most visitors highlight the welcoming atmosphere and the attentive, professional service that often elevates the dining experience. While many guests consider it a top-tier choice for special occasions and appreciate the modern, cozy environment, some feedback suggests inconsistencies regarding portion sizes in group tasting menus and occasional service hiccups.

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.

I had a lovely dinner tonight at Ryu. From the moment we arrived, the service was excellent & we were greeted so warmly. The staff were incredibly sweet, attentive, & made us feel very welcome throughout the evening.
We really enjoyed our meal, & everything about the experience felt thoughtful & well done. The presentation of the dishes was beautiful & everything tasted very fresh. The atmosphere was perfect, not too crowded, which made it easy to relax & have a great conversation with my friend. It felt like such a cozy & enjoyable dining experience.

Overall, I loved everything about it & will definitely be coming back again!

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.

The interior does not match the photos on the website at all. In reality, there is barely any interior - it looks severely worn down.
The food is tasty & fresh, but nothing special, especially considering the above-average prices.
I came here because of the many positive reviews, but unfortunately my experience did not match the expectations they created.
