Went to Ryu yesterday and honestly WOW!! A big part of that was Charles . I’ve been to a lot of restaurants over the years, and it’s rare to come across service like that. From the start, everything just felt smooth and natural. He’s easygoing, confident, and clearly knows exactly what he’s doing. What stood out most is how he knew what to recommend, both for the food and the drinks. Everything just worked. The food was amazing overall, but the sashimi was easily the highlight of the night. You could taste the freshness right away, super clean, just done right. Nothing felt rushed, nothing took too long, the timing was on point the whole night. And all the small details were handled without us even thinking about it. Overall, the food and drinks were great like you’d expect from Ryu, but Charles really made the experience stand out and thank you for that again. I will definitely be back again !!!

Had an amazing night here everything was beautifully presented and full of flavor. They really never disappoint. Ryu Griffintown is the only sushi in town that my wife eats while pregnant because its so fresh. The wagyu dumplings are incredible. The DJ, Malka, brought such a great vibe that made the whole experience even better. Perfect spot for good food & a fun night out!!

10/10 wow. It was my first time at RYU and it absolutely lived up to the hype. I’d only ever heard great things, and it somehow still exceeded my expectations. The sushi was incredible, easily some of the best I’ve had in Montreal. The watermelon margarita? *Chef’s kiss* And Charlie made the whole experience even better with amazing, attentive service. Highly recommend, I’ll definitely be back. ❤️

Mr. Dj Malka, rocks my world. The quality of the sushi, the ambiance, the service, the music, hands down my fave go to for a girls’ night out. Only this Ryu, this is the best Ryu in Griffintown. I have never been disappointed, this establishment is top notch and a staple joint in MTL.

Absolutely loved this place. The sushi is insanely fresh and beautifully crafted—every bite is next level. The staff are super welcoming, attentive, and make you feel taken care of from start to finish. The vibe is perfect too—stylish, energetic, but still relaxed enough to actually enjoy your time. Highly, highly recommend—definitely one of my favorite spots.

I had a reservation at RYU this past Saturday night. I went with my wife and three other couples, we're visiting from NYC and 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 and full of flavor. They definitely prioritize quality ingredients. The service was impeccable. The staff was attentive, professional, and made the entire evening feel seamless and 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, and top-tier service, I highly recommend Ryu.

I went here for Valentine’s Day and 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 and 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 and 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 and around body temperature, not cold. Our seating area was cold from the door opening and 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 and 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 and happy, not hungry and feeling like something was missing. Being busy on Valentine’s Day isn’t an excuse for tiny portions, cold sushi rice, slow billing, and a cold table. I wouldn’t return unless the restaurant has a good explanation. Being busy is not an excuse.

One of the worst experiences I’ve had in Montreal. We paid 120$ per person for a SHARED menu, meaning even a slider and a dessert were shared, which was honestly abhorrent. The portions were tiny and there was definitely not enough food for two. Not a place i recommend, nor i will be going back to.

Amazing food honestly some of the best in Montreal. Everything was fresh, full of flavor, and beautifully presented. The atmosphere is stylish and cozy, and the service was excellent friendly, attentive, and fast. You can really tell they care about quality and the whole dining experience. I’ll definitely be coming back and recommending this place to everyone

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, and the toilet door didn’t close. And the food was frankly not that good or flavourful. Terrible experience overall. Never going back there again

Food and 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 and 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 and 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 and 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 and 2cocktails/2beers), you better get a good service because of tip.
