   Service slow at first and the speed at which the food came a little slow. Very good food, great ambiance.

   Great food and fine ambiance, however, the noise level a bit too "energetic". We were surprised that a new construction does not have better acoustics.

   The experience is outstanding. The service structure is like in Japan where they’ll change everything on the table after your service, at least in our case. Most clients all seemed to know each other and waiters, which added energy to the restaurant. If you’re looking for a a quiet, conversational atmosphere to talk calmly with your date, this is not for you. The music was great, service was attentive and quick, food was delicious. Definitely top of our list.

    Having seen ample 5 star reviews, we were curious how there were a few 1 star reviews. We’re these exceptions to the norm? We wanted to try it for ourselves and pass our own judgement. We were delighted by the atmosphere and vibe, the music was LESS loud than expected but still present and necessary as the overall volume does increase during the night. It’s a cozy location with cocktails flowing and people tend to talk loudly afterall. Shoutout to our server Alex, he explained the specials of the night and introduced us to other team members which was very welcoming. We can understand that it isn’t a quiet night out and can be unexpected; but this is in the heart of Griffintown and there were all types of customers enjoying themselves at once. The service, food quality, specials, cocktails, and energy were unmatched! We shall definitely come back, PS especially on a Friday or Saturday night.

    Le restaurant est super beau et distingué, le service est simple et assez rapide. La nourriture est fraîche, variée et admirablement présentée. Les prix sont évidemment un peu élevés considérant la quantité reçue, mais je suppose que pour un aussi bon produit, c'est ce que ca vaut. Probablement le meilleur restaurant japonais de Montréal, je le recommande!

    My friends and I had hands down the worst treatment at any restaurant ever. I am very disappointed because i have been the the other Ryu locations multiple times and service was always great. Upon arrival we were greeted by the lady at the front very abruptly no even a Hi - we were 10 minutes early - just told fyi we are not ready yet and you have to leave in 2 hrs! It then kept getting worse and worse- we asked for a different table if it was possible and got accommodated then rushed so much in order for us to leave asap- my friend asked for a drink before the end and literally was denied : we didn’t even order the bill yet. By the time her drink would've been there we would be paying and would've left. The same lady from the front desk i reckon her name is Yuri or Yuram im not sure comes storming our table accusing us of having called the waitress out of her name which is insane!! And proceeded to accuse us of absolutely mind boggling things. I was never ever treated this way. This is still beyond me as i am writing this review the next day. They gave us a discount that we declined politely to the waiter but he asked us to “please i can’t talk to her.-the same lady Yuri- just accept the discount”- this goes to show the kind of manager she is or whatever her position is- her staff is even afraid to talk to her. And frankly i understand why. We did not want any discount- we frankly would have paid double to just feel welcomed and respected like any other restaurant. We left feeling shocked, insulted and baffled. Again, Ryu as a brand should really take notice because this kind of customer treatment is beyond damaging no matter if the food is good or not, we go out for the whole experience. I will make sure to share my experience with everyone around me and beyond. So will my friends.

    We had a great dinner at Ryu. The cocktails were amazing. We had the sashimi platter and some specialty rolls. The quality is of the top available in Montreal. The service was impeccable, the management even came to see if we were enjoying our meal. A great dinner spot for a date or friends gathering. Its very beautiful and there is a great ambiance.

    We were thoroughly enjoying ourself until about an hour and 20 minutes into our reservation when we received our bill and we’re told we needed to leave in 10 minutes. We still had half of our platter of sushi in front of us and were barely even half way through our bottle of wine. Our bill was well over 300$ and we left feeling like it was not money well spent. When we expressed our disappointment to our server he was not understanding. A 2-hour table turn over is reasonable, but to receive your bill so abruptly 1h20 into a late night seating is not appropriate. It really takes away from what is suppose to be a fine dining experience.

    Service was not up to par just like their other locations. Service was beyond slow. Only the manager was efficient and got things moving. Seafood tower did not come as defined on menu and the customer should have been notified especially when ordering at that price.

    The food quality and taste were good. The service was absolutely horrible which completely ruined the night. We booked seats at the bar and we received a "table" in the lounge after waiting for 45 min. It is very uncomfortable to eat in the lounge as the table is lower than the seat, meaning that while eating you have to completely bend over... Besides the soup, not one item in the tasting menu arrived in the order it was supposed to arrive. We were not the only table experiencing this and many guests were annoyed because they either did not receive one or two dishes or received the dessert before the main (sashimi). The waiting time between the dishes was between 20 and 30 min and also our dessert (moshi) arrived before the sashimi. Everything ended up taking so long, that we decided to take the missing dishes to go and not to wait at the restaurant. I asked 4 times for water and my water glass was only refilled once within the 3h of service. It was a rather disappointing experience and definitely not to be expected when you spend over 300$ for two-person. All the guests seated in the lounge seemed to be annoyed by the long delays, completely absent service, and uncomfortable seating arrangement in the lounge.

    Les règles de distanciation ne sont pas respectées entre les tables. les gens ne portent pas le masque pour se déplacer dans le resto. Et les resto n'est pas fort pour faire respecter ces règles même quand on le demande. Mais la bouffe est très bonne! Je recomande ce resto après le rush de la pandémie

    This was by far the worst dining experience I’ve had. The service was incredibly slow and the waiter was not present at all. It took 30 min for him to come get our drink order and another 20 min for him to bring back a wine bottle. The music is way too loud and the food fell short, probably because of the horrible service.
