The Ryu mission and commitment to you is to prepare nutritious, delicious dishes that not only taste great, but feel great to eat, inside and out. Caring about what you eat and enjoying the experience to the fullest is what we call “Eating RYU”.
Ryu is widely praised for fresh, flavorful sushi and attentive service, with many calling it among the best sushi spots in Montreal and highlighting wagyu dumplings, tataki, and superb hand rolls. The atmosphere is stylish, cozy, and vibey, with music and a welcoming vibe. Service is frequently described as friendly and professional, though a few reviews mention billing can be slow at times on busy nights. A common critique is small portions for the price, and some dishes with cold sushi rice. Overall, Ryu stands out as a top sushi destination for quality and experience, with caveats about price to portion balance and occasional inconsistencies.
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.
Hands down one of the best Japanese restaurants I've ever been to, right here in Griffintown! The food was absolutely outstanding - every dish was fresh, beautifully presented, & bursting with flavor. The tartares were some of the best I've ever had, & the A5 Wagyu tataki was next-level - melt-in-your-mouth perfection. The drinks complemented the food perfectly & elevated the entire experience.
On top of the incredible food, the service made the night unforgettable. Michael went above & beyond to make sure everything was perfect. His attention to detail, professionalism, & genuine care turned a great dinner into an amazing experience. Because of him, I've already decided this will be my go-to spot for future business meetings & events.
If you're in Montreal & want an unforgettable Japanese dining experience, this is the place to be.

I had an amazing night in Montreal! Isadora & the entire staff were exceptional-their warmth & attentiveness made the evening truly special. The food quality & service were both top-notch. I especially enjoyed the creative flavors & choices prepared just for me. The baked crab hand roll & Wagyu dumplings were outstanding; I highly recommend them to anyone looking to experience unique & delightful tastes. Thank you for a fun & memorable evening!
I ordered online & let me tell you! The packaging was absolutely gorgeous. The food on another level. Wow, the sashimi was second to none, their makis so perfectly rolled & cut & the fish as fresh as it gets. They have amazing hot food as well. Their wagyu dumplings DELICIOUS! & their crispy taquitos with the salmon tartare... foodgasm! This is definitely the best delivery sushi I've had so far in Montreal. I will be going to try them in person because the pictures of the place look so beautiful !

It's supposed to be fine dining My boyfriend came here twice but it probably be our last time as well. Well at least we give chances to try. The bill was over 200$ Pro : The ambiance were great ! Very chic & stylish. We were outside at the terrace, highly recommend. Music was nice & cool. Cons : Staffs : very chic but not that friendly & honestly quite erogan. Food : Ordinary , quality doesn't meet expectations for the price. I am not sure if it was our luck or the food was really ordinary & quite disappointing. We don't mind the price if the food is good quality O-Toro 25 $ for 2 pcs. One of the sashimi piece was very chewy. At this price, I expect a good piece of fish that can be eaten the whole piece not just partially. I had better quality & price somewhere else. Scallop nigiri was just ok. The rice was just ok, the scallops were fresh. Salmon & tuna Tartare It was a good looking presentation dish, however the taste was nothing special. Scallop truffles roll 23$ I had a piece of something like a hard crum of quinoa ( maybe ) stuck in my tooth first bite of sushi. Besides that it was ok. Surf & turf roll was very DISAPPOINTING !! for 39$ , the Wagyu beef on the top part were VERY CHEWY ! I was surprised & wondered if that was the style of beef or it was just a mistake ? We ended up taking off the prices of wagyu , the rolls still very ordinary. White wine was ok for 19$ for very ordinary wine. Overall you pay for the cool ambience not the food. for that price range doesn't meet our expectations for food quality at all.
Awesome atmosphere with even better service & exceptional cuisine, Yuri & Alex always go the extra mile to take care of us whether its a date night, business meeting or an outing with friends! The wagyu sliders are a must do not skip out on those
Ryu in Griffintown is a cozy & wonderful restaurant with great staff & incredible service. We sat in the lounge area which was quite an experience & the staff was always on their feet & inquiring about the food. We started with the miso soup followed by Wagyu dumplings & it was beyond delicious! I ordered the Salmon & Tuna tartare & the presentation was beyond wonderful for I've never been served salmon & tuna tartare in that fashion. It was beyond tasty :) My partner had Shirayuki & we loved it too :) For dessert, we had the vegan mochi & it came in 3 wonderful flavors ! Would highly recommend this place as it's a perfect venue for a date night or chilling with friends. A 10/10 restaurant ❤️
