Mr. Dj Malka, rocks my world. The quality of the sushi, the ambiance, the service, the music, hands down my fave go to for a girls' night out. Only this Ryu, this is the best Ryu in Griffintown. I have never been disappointed, this establishment is top notch & a staple joint in MTL.

I went here for Valentine's Day & we had the fixed menu.
To start with the positives: the food was tasty. The cod in particular was excellent-easily the best cod I've had. Very juicy & well cooked. One of our servers also did a good job.

Now the downsides.

I left starving. The portion sizes were honestly shocking for the price. Everything was tiny & meant to be shared between two people:

- One beef slider… split between two people
- One fish dish… split between two people
- Overall portions that felt like they were meant for a child
- Bathroom was dirty, trash was overflowing

Have you ever split a single slider between two adults? At nearly $400 for two people, that's absurd. I shouldn't be leaving a restaurant at that price point still hungry.
The sushi rice was also cold. At a lower-tier place, fine. But not at this price. Sushi rice should be fresh & around body temperature, not cold.

Our seating area was cold from the door opening & closing, even though we weren't right beside it. Not a great way to spend a long dinner in the middle of winter.

Service at the end was frustrating. We finished eating & then sat there for about 30 minutes waiting for the bill. I made eye contact with the server multiple times trying to signal that we were ready. Nothing. Eventually the bill came, but it shouldn't take that long.

So overall: yes, the food tasted good. But it was nowhere near worth the price. At ~$400 for two people, this should be a flawless experience where you leave full & happy, not hungry & feeling like something was missing. Being busy on Valentine's Day isn't an excuse for tiny portions, cold sushi rice, slow billing, & a cold table.

I wouldn't return unless the restaurant has a good explanation. Being busy is not an excuse.

Rug Griffintown has amazing food. Wagyu tacos were good. Sushi was great. My only issue was the entertainer. The guy's name is Charlie. He was kind of overwhelming. I liked the restaurant, but I don't want to be bombarded with Charlie everytime I go there.
