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.
J'ai adoré la nourriture, surtout le fait de découvrir de nouvelles saveurs ! Une très belle expérience culinaire, je recommande vivement. La musique est un peut forte on s'entend pas toujours.

Ryu Griffintown delivers exceptional Japanese cuisine, but the truffle salmon sushi with mushroom steals the show-rich, earthy, & the best sushi I've ever had. The place has an amazing atmosphere.
Excellent food quality & superb service. Loved the upscale chill decor. Even appreciated the vibe provided by a nice selection of lounge music.
Amazing service
Such a cool vibe & great sushi. The sashimi literally melts in your mouth. Was visiting here from NYC, nothing like it there, especially at this price point.
It's my favorite place, a hidden gem in Montreal . I wish they had it in nyc. You would think it would be easy to find something similar in nyc given the volume of restaurants, but I could never find anything that matched the vibe, price point & quality of the fish .
The price is quite high for the quality offered. The sushi, in particular, doesn't meet expectations in terms of freshness or taste. Not worth the cost.
