Review Summary

Ryu earns praise for very fresh fish and a range of standout items like a sashimi platter, caviar crab roll, toro maki, and even a tuna belly with truffles, with the Kaizen roll singled out as especially good; the wagyu tataki is tender but seen by some as not worth the premium. Service and presentation are repeatedly described as superb and the ambience as great, with a cozy, low key vibe and courteous staff. Many reviewers call Ryu the best sushi in town and applaud an authentic Japanese approach with pure high quality raw fish and minimal sauces. Takeout and lunch specials are noted for value, with miso soup well done and several dishes delivering the same freshness. One visit highlighted a mismatch between interior photos and the actual space, and some felt the prices were high for what was delivered. A rare negative experience cited slow service and seating issues that spoiled the mood, though the food was still described as decent. Overall, the restaurant is seen as a top choice for fresh, quality sushi, with occasional hiccups in service or space.

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.

Nous avons adoré notre expérience ! J'y suis allé avec ma fille pour une petite sortie au centre-ville, & comme nous sommes tous les deux coeliaques, nous faisons toujours attention. Ici, tout a été parfait : repas incroyable, service impeccable & une attention sincère à nos besoins. Merci pour cette belle soirée - nous reviendrons sans hésiter !

Let me start with this, food, delicious. But i'd never go back. Everything else was so bad in surprised the food was good. Lowkey wasn't by the end of the night. Their service was so bad it ruined my appetite.
1. Gave our table away
2. Made us sit & the bar & continue to forget about us for 25 minutes
3. Moved us into the coldest corner that was dark & empty, by the window so I could see police & a dog full on shitting in my vision. Totally ruined the atmosphere
4. We got our first order & the waitress gave a disgusted & confused look right in front of me, um what a turn off?
5. Forgot about us again.
Anyways I wouldn't go back, food was decent by the end of the night. Meh.
Update: We went to A&W after 10/10

Very small portions, very large price. Spent a lot of money & walked out hungry. Also both got sick, me the same day in the evening, my guest the next day. Would not recommend & will not be going back. Service was also subpar; the waitress seemed bored & not helpful at all.

Very pretty place, nice for a lunch date for two or for dining alone. It does not have many seats for a large group. Selection on the menu seems varied. I did not try enough of the menu to give a accurate review about the food & I may not go back the service I received was disappointing. The waitress that served me was pretentious & just plain snooty. I would not recommend this restaurant alone based on her service. Instead of listening to what I was asking for she assumed I was trying to get discounts. Not cool. I would also like to say that if you are going to set up a menu include one that does not serve imitation crab.

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!
