    Sushi menu.
    Daniel B.

    This review is for the Ryu location near gate 79 inside Montreal-Pierre Elliott Trudeau International Airport. This airport Japanese restaurant straddles the three-to-four star line for me. I'll bump them up to four because I like their menu offerings which include sushi, poke, and smoothies plus other healthy options like toasts (e.g. avocado toast, almond butter and banana toast) and acai smoothie bowls. Ryu is a local chain of sustainable sushi restaurants with currently five locations throughout Montreal. The airport location actually consists of two locations: (1) near gate 50 in the Canadian departures terminal and (2) this one near gate 79 in the US departures terminal. This location is counter-service-only with no dedicated seating, though there are small, common area dining tables nearby. This location has a simple yet nice build-out with a sushi bar, smoothie bar, and appropriately-themed Japanese decor. In addition to the made-to-order sushi, poke, and smoothies, there are shelves filled with grab-and-go snacks and other food products. We visited on a Sunday around 11am and were told the toasts ($9.25-13.00 each) and acai smoothie bowls ($13.50 each) weren't available. Sushi was available in rolls ($6.75-15.50 each), nigiri and sashimi ($5.00-6.75 for two pieces). Unsurprisingly, given the size of the shop, the sushi selection was limited to imitation crab, shrimp, salmon, tuna, and variants like smoked salmon and tuna tataki. There were four different kinds of poke bowls starting at $14.50-18.00 each and you could choose the base. No completely customizable poke is offered here. Smoothies started at $9.75 each and there were four varieties. I had a Hawaiian Classic poke bowl ($18) and an "#Acai" smoothie ($9.75). After a long weekend and before boarding an early afternoon flight, these both hit the spot. The Hawaiian Classic bowl came with tuna, cucumber, avocado, green onion, shallots, tempura, soy sauce, sesame oil, sesame seeds, and nori (dried seaweed). The bowl was made-to-order and neatly prepared. It was compact and the portion size was small (at least, for me it was). They offer only one size of bowl. I'm used to larger and tastier poke bowls back home (Atlanta) that include more types of protein and food for about the same price. However, I realize airport restaurants can charge a premium so I think that may be what's happening here. The quality of the ingredients was fresh/A-OK. My only real gripe with the bowl is how hungry I still was after eating it. The #Acai smoothie was delicious, satisfying, and helped to fill me up. It was ice cold, sweet, and refreshing. I felt good drinking it. The smoothie was made with acai berries, blueberries, strawberries, banana, almond butter, and coconut milk. Like the sushi and poke bowls, Ryu makes their smoothies fresh to order at the counter. The #Acai smoothie had great flavor and consistency. It was a little bit on the icy side, but that's what I was craving at the time. I think some people may find it too sweet, but the sweetness level was just right for me. My buddy got a Balance smoothie ($9.75) made with mango, pineapple, banana, and coconut milk. He sucked it down pretty fast so that should tell you how good he thought it was. Service was good. It looked like a mother-daughter combo working together. The mother was taking care of the sushi and poke and prepping/cutting ingredients while the daughter handled the register and smoothies. The counter wasn't very busy, but neither was the airport terminal.

    I'm so happy that in the airport has sushi bar and I can eat my favorite kind of food before flying. Set of sushi and rolls is the right potion, I also have poke with salmon and add more of seaweed. Freshii is refreshing drink make me awake. One more thing they have vegetarian option too. One of my friends was so glad she can have the same type of food with us.

    Chinese Guy pretending to be chef, refused to answer in English, can not get any answers from anyone, the sushi small mixed pieces and 1 box of juice was $40 Cad!!! What is going on in this Country? Are they taking us for fools? I asked for a refund and they ignored me! The worst quality sushi, worst service, I hope a health food agent reads this and shuts that place down. My review for this place is sub zero! Stay away!

    I love eating at Japanese restaurants because of the atmosphere-a very clear, crisp look. This is the second location of Ryú in the Pierre Elliot Trudeau airport. They had a sushi and Poké bar. Pricea are on the high side ranging from 15$ and up. I ordered the spicy tuna Poké with avocado, cucumber, edamame, carrots, seaweed salad and caviar. Surprisingly there was no Quinoa available so I opted for the green salad as my base. I would've like spicy mayo because even the sauce wasn't enough. It was a bit spicy so I asked for less sauce. I support green restaurants. The highlight was the paper bowl that the Poké was served in. biodegradable is the way to go! Nothing beats good food and a view for takeoff!

    Maki combo

    YUL has a Montreal Canadiens restaurant. Did this used to be Moes because the foot print looked familiar. While YUL in the domestic area has a decent amount of places to eat the variety only stretches so far. I mean sandwiches, burgers, coffee, bagels etc and while you get a lot of the same just about everywhere it's nice to see a place like Ryu to change things up a bit. Ryu has a variety of ready made maki and nigiri combos like you may see at grocery stores packed up and ready to go. This would be helpful if you didn't want to eat on the plane or if you wanted to take it to go. They do have a decent sized dine in area as well if you felt you wanted to eat in. I ended up getting one of the maki and nigiri sushi combos and my wife ended up getting some sort of poke bowl but instead of rice she went with quinoa as the base filler. I have to say after a week of eating out in the US almost every meal this was a nice treat. We only had Asian cuisine once down there and I was sort of craving something with rice. The combo was a mix of salmon and tuna (total 13 pieces) and it was almost 18 bucks. While that seemed rather high I have to remember that we're at the airport and this food isn't fast food. My wife's poke bowl was a mix of carrots, cucumbers, edamame, wakame and tuna. The fish didn't looked marinated like Hawaiian poke or at least what we're used to at our regular poke place in Toronto but rather cut up tuna instead. Still, it was good as I ended up finishing it because my wife couldn't. I'm not normally big on quinoa but it went will with this bowl and it seemed to be actually filling. The food was good but seemed rather pricey. We've had better poke than this. IMO you can't really call it poke unless the fish is marinated. This place didn't even drizzle anything on it...? Still it's decent and a switch from what every other place serves in the terminal.

    Good, quick sushi. There's to-go meals as well as made-to-order poke and green juice options. Snacks include cold tea, edamame chips, pocky, and more snacks. I don't think there's regular hours? The cashier had closed the register when I wanted to buy grab-and-go sushi, but she reopened the register for my credit card. She was very friendly and when I asked if they closed at 7 (it was 6:50 pm) said that the restaurant wouldn't want to pay her if she was doing nothing and it was getting slow so she was closing down.

    Decent avocado toast made fresh to order - US terminal near Gate 79. Lots of avocado, two slices of fresh bread and seasoning.

    This was my first time at a teppanyaki believe it or not! I had only ever seen this in movies and…read morehad no idea that it's actually a resto style called teppanyaki. We were seated in the semi private area which has two tables and can accommodate 16 people comfortably... Maybe 2 more if you squeeze a bit. Drinks: I decided to embrace the unique experience by ordering a Ramune pop where you have to punch down a glass bead so that you can pour the soda. It's served into a glass with a lime flavored popsicle to give it extra flavor. Ordering: the way the menu works is that everyone gets the same things included with their meal. The only thing different is the protein ordered. - Onion broth: thin but oh so packed with umami flavor! - Salad: pretty good with light vinaigrette - Mushrooms: mmmhh fried and covered in soy sauce - Shrimp: delish and drown it in the tangy dipping sauce - Mixed Veggies: helps balance all the meatiness - Addictive ground ginger soy sauce: can eat this with everything! - Tangy chili sauce: love the flavor - Bowl of rice - Orange creamsicle ice cream: yay for ice cream! - Cup of Jasmine tea: wash down all that flavor The meats: with 3 choices of beef from least to most expensive--Beef Samurai, Sirloin, Filet Mignon. I went middle of the road with the sirloin but was able to taste the filet mignon off my friend's plate. Conclusion: filet mignon cut up in cubes had a rich beefy flavor that comes from the fat in the meat that is seared. It's really good, super tender and juicy. The sirloin also cooked and cubed has a flatter taste but still really tender and delicious. If budget is not an issue, go with the filet mignon, your taste buds will be singing! Staff was friendly and polite. The cooks, depending who you get make their own jokes to entertain you while cooking. Our cook did this knife flipping thing with his chef's knife into it's holster several times like it was nothing. I could just envision myself trying that and losing fingers and toes in the process!!! Overall, it's just a touch pricey but I loved the experience! We were all very satisfied. It's good sized portions guaranteeing that nobody will leave hungry. The place filled up by 6pm where every table was occupied. I will go back again!

    Discovered this beautiful place tonight. We came here for my gf Birthday dinner. It was really…read moredelicious and exquisite experience. We were a huge group of 15 people.. I felt super worried about the service and the staff seemed a bit overwhelmed but they delivered greatness! The ambiance was very intimate and small but still lots of tables around to enjoy They made sure that all of us didn't come home hungry! The menu is pretty awesome and lots of food options ! I wasn't in the mood for sushi but definitely changed my mind after I saw other people having it and my mood kicked in suddenly craving for sushi I enjoyed their miso soup it was amazing and delicious fresh just not much tofu so the dish itself was good just missing some tofu in my bowl! Seasoned great though My husband and I decided to share The teriyaki chicken dish .. it was really great . Only thing was the Chicken was a bit dry but the tempura veggies and house salad definitely tasted fresh and amazing. The maki sushis was wonderful 5/5 16pieces pretty tender and very fresh. Thick pieces of avocado and salmon with high end grade sushi grade fish. pretty impressed! Overall the service was attentive and wonderful .. we got our food very quickly even though we were a lot in our group they were able to set up an ordering system into different groups so we could all order effectively.. seemed like it wasn't their first rodeo and are very well prepared for huge groups. Totally recommend this place in general and will be back for sure, their known for their sushi and are one of the best I've tasted in a while very much recommend it Cheers

    Horrible experience I would not come again the server was very rude gave attitude the whole time…read more And to speak about the portions I was given a literal pea sized amount of ginger for about 18+ sushi's It was not worth the price at all and the service left it even worse I would never come back here again.
