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.
Ryu se démarque par des sushis et des plats de fruits de mer frais et savoureux, avec des spécialités comme le wagyu tataki et les dumplings wagyu qui reviennent souvent dans les meilleurs commentaires. L'ambiance est cosy et moderne, la présentation est soignée et l'atmosphère donne envie d'y revenir pour une soirée ou un rendez-vous. Le service est généralement applaudi pour sa gentillesse et son professionnalisme, même si l'addition peut parfois sembler longue et que les conseils à la carte manquent. Des critiques portent sur des portions qui paraissent petites par rapport au prix et sur des détails comme du riz à sushi qui peut être froid et sur une salle parfois froide ou bruyante selon les moments. Dans l'ensemble, Ryu est perçu comme l'une des meilleures expériences sushi de la ville, un endroit à recommander pour les amateurs et un spot idéal pour des occasions spéciales ou des sorties entre amis.
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 ~$400 for two people, this should be a flawless experience where you leave full & happy, not hungry & feeling like something was missing. Being busy on Valentine's Day isn't an excuse for tiny portions, cold sushi rice, slow billing, & a cold table.
I wouldn't return unless the restaurant has a good explanation. Being busy is not an excuse.
Food & environnement were really good (very loud tho) BUT service is TERRIBLE. There is 1 guy carrying everybody (probably the manager). First of all I come in WITH a reservation & get welcomed with attitude, I get told that my table is not ready (have a reservation btw), that the people at my table are paying & that it should be ready in 2minutes. I wait 35minutes with NO UPDATES, I try to wave to waiters to get updates on the situation & they ignore me. The service is terrible for the price of the experience. Not a fancy restaurant what so ever but when you order 300$ worth of food (2 person: 1 entrance each, 1 plate each & 2cocktails/2beers), you better get a good service because of tip.

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.
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.
Good sushi spot. Good service, although no explanation of the dishes once they came. Tasty food, but I've seen better at this price range. I did find it overpriced. Great ambiance however.

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
