Bien manger, c’est aussi manger sainement, à Ryu, les plats sont non seulement délicieux mais aussi nutritifs; réconfortant en bouche autant que pour le corps, c’est ça l’engagement Ryu. Pour nous l’experience « Manger Ryu » c’est aussi se soucier de votre alimentation.
Les critiques soulignent globalement une expérience de sushi de très haut niveau chez Ryu, avec des ingrédients frais, des plats joliment présentés et des saveurs qui se démarquent, et le poisson et les sushis décrits comme parmi les meilleurs de Montréal, tandis que l'atmosphère est perçue comme chic et cosy. Le service est généralement décrit comme attentif, professionnel et efficace, contribuant à une soirée fluide. Certaines visites évoquent des portions qui semblent petites par rapport au prix, du riz à sushi froid, et un service de l'addition parfois lent lors des soirées chargées, ce qui peut atténuer l'impression de rapport qualité-prix. Néanmoins, de nombreux avis recommandent Ryu comme une adresse à tester pour les soirées en amoureux et pour découvrir des plats créatifs et de grande qualité qui mettent en valeur la cuisine.
I had a reservation at RYU this past Saturday night. I went with my wife & three other couples, we're visiting from NYC & everything from start to finish exceeded expectations.
The fish was some of the freshest I've had in a long time-every dish was beautifully prepared & full of flavor. They definitely prioritize quality ingredients.
The service was impeccable. The staff was attentive, professional, & made the entire evening feel seamless & enjoyable, their drinks are excellent-definitely worth trying a few.
If you're looking for a place in Montreal with a great atmosphere, outstanding food, & top-tier service, I highly recommend Ryu.
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.

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 .
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.
We had an amazing experience! Our server, Yuri, was fantastic-attentive & friendly. The food was absolutely delicious, & the fish was incredibly fresh. Definitely try the short ribs. Portions are small, just be prepared to pay $100+ per person. Highly recommended!
Loved their food, wine selection, sake selection, it's a bit pricey for the common people but I think it's worth it, doesn't beat Hidden Fish, Waitress was a bit dry & cold, we had to leave earlier because of that & took desserts at another place. but generally speaking I would go back because I had fun
