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. Despite these mixed reports, the majority of patrons are impressed by the culinary craftsmanship and hospitality, often citing the Omakase and signature rolls as standout items worth returning for.

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.

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.

Nice low key vibes here. Intimate yet relaxing & calm ambiance. Very courteous staff.

Ordered a few things here & they were all plated beautifully.

The wagyu surf & turf maki was nicely done. Wagyu was delicate.

Toro & chutoro nigiri was standard, which sometimes is the best. Lightly dressed up.

Will need to come back to try other dishes.
