I had the best experience last night at Ryu. Rudy made us feel very welcome & gave us incredible service. I always order the salmon tacos but he suggested I try the spicy salmon miso tartare - it was truly an incredible dish! Thank you for the amazing service & phenomenal cuisine. :)

Last night, I had dinner at Ryu Griffintown with my daughter, & we both had such a lovely evening.

The food was excellent. Everything tasted fresh, especially the fish, & the dishes were beautifully prepared without feeling overly complicated. It certainly isn't an inexpensive restaurant, but in my opinion, the prices are quite reasonable for the quality of the food & the care that goes into it.

Partway through our dinner, a very large group of about twenty people arrived, many of them young children. Naturally, the restaurant became quite busy all at once. There were only two people handling most of the service, so you could see that they had their hands full, but I was genuinely impressed by the way everyone worked together.

Our waiter, Rudy, was wonderful. He continued checking on us throughout the evening & made sure we had everything we needed. The manager was helping by bringing out food & assisting wherever necessary, & even the hostess who had seated us was carrying plates & bringing water to tables. Everyone simply pitched in.

Having eaten in many restaurants over the years, I tend to notice these little details. A sudden group of that size, especially with so many children, can be very challenging for any restaurant. The service may have slowed slightly at moments, which was completely understandable, but we never felt forgotten or poorly treated.

Later, I came to understand that the large group was the owner dining with his family. What impressed me even more was that the staff still continued taking care of the rest of the restaurant rather than focusing all of their attention on that one table.

I also happened to read the recent negative review, & I must say that it simply does not reflect the experience my daughter & I had. I certainly would not describe the staff as rude or the service as poor. Quite the opposite. I saw a small team working very hard under difficult circumstances while remaining pleasant & attentive.

We had a wonderful evening, enjoyed very fresh food, & were especially impressed by the effort of Rudy & the entire team. I would happily return.

Poor staff. No manners at all.
Food is very expensive. Better to go somewhere else.

Ryu Sushi in Griffintown delivers an outstanding dining experience. The food is exceptional - fresh & beautifully prepared. The setting is classic & elegant, with soft lighting & a calm, non?intrusive atmosphere.

A special mention goes to Rudi, our waiter, who provided top?tier service. He knew the menu inside & out, adapted his recommendations perfectly to our tastes, & maintained a professional, respectful presence throughout the evening. He was attentive without being intrusive.
Go eat at Ryu Sushi Griffintown. Ask for Rudi as your waiter. You won't be disappointed. You'll enjoy great food & great service.

We came here for dinner last night & sat at the bar- dimly lit but beautiful interior.
This might be some of the best sushi we've had (we eat a lot of sushi!) - most notable was waygu dumplings, Mr maguro & bluefin tuna were the notable highlights.
Cocktails were phenomenal - expertly crafted & well balanced as described. Good quality & a good amount. Our bartender was even kind enough to provide a sample to my husband when he was making a drink for another customer.

Five stars all around- a great experience from start to finish. We'll be thinking abt those sushi rolls for a while!
