Review Summary

Ryu is widely celebrated for its exceptional, fresh sushi and high quality Japanese cuisine, with many patrons highlighting the sashimi, wagyu dishes, and creative cocktails as standout choices. The atmosphere is frequently described as stylish, energetic, and cozy, often enhanced by popular DJs that contribute to a fun and vibrant dining experience. While the majority of visitors praise the attentive, professional, and welcoming service that makes for a seamless evening, there are isolated concerns regarding portion sizes and billing speed during busy peak periods. Overall, it remains a favorite go to destination in Montreal for those seeking a premium culinary experience in a lively, well curated setting.

Went there for Velentine's dinner, the portions were ridiculously small. We were sat next to the kitchen where it kept fuming all the time. Service was slow, & the toilet door didn't close. & the food was frankly not that good or flavourful. Terrible experience overall. Never going back there again

Food & environnement were really good (very loud tho) BUT service is TERRIBLE. There is 1 guy carrying everybody (probably the manager). First of all I come in WITH a reservation & get welcomed with attitude, I get told that my table is not ready (have a reservation btw), that the people at my table are paying & that it should be ready in 2minutes. I wait 35minutes with NO UPDATES, I try to wave to waiters to get updates on the situation & they ignore me. The service is terrible for the price of the experience. Not a fancy restaurant what so ever but when you order 300$ worth of food (2 person: 1 entrance each, 1 plate each & 2cocktails/2beers), you better get a good service because of tip.

The food itself was very good, which makes this experience even more disappointing.

Unfortunately, the service we received felt discriminatory & unacceptable. When we clearly needed assistance, one server approached our table, saw us, & immediately turned around & walked away without saying a word. At checkout, the same server showed no basic courtesy or professionalism, remaining completely expressionless, while being noticeably warm & cheerful with other tables. The difference in attitude was obvious & unsettling.

This behavior made us feel uncomfortable & unfairly treated. While another server later noticed the situation & kindly came over to ask if we needed help-which we appreciated-it does not excuse the initial experience.

Good food cannot make up for service that makes customers feel disrespected. I sincerely hope management takes this seriously & ensures that all guests are treated equally & professionally
