    Poke or just nasty rice

    Worst sushi ive ever had in my life! Even worst than buffet (not vegas) sushi! I dont even know what to write it is so bad! Wow im shocked this place is even open im sure the employees dont even eat this shit nasty

    Overview of the place in the food court of Carrefour Laval.
    Sushi X.

    1. Sushi quality 3/5 2. Overall food 2/5 3. Experience 2/5 4. Service 3/5 5. Price value 2/5 ~Average 2.4 1. The sushi was definitely not bad by any means. Taste-wise, it was a delightful experience. The employees were very keen on drowning the simple ebi tempura hosomaki that I had ordered with sauce, specifically their house sauce in addition to spicy mayonnaise. I refused the second sauce as I was seeing my sushi struggling to stay at the surface of the liquid, but it was in Québec and I am aware of their love for sauce, so that was partly excused. I was thankfully able to order "fresh", and skipped the option to buy from their refrigerator. The sushi made on the spot was much better looking compared to their refrigerated counterpart. 2. The overall selection of food isn't amazing, but pretty good for small-size restaurants. This criterion lost a lot of points due to the refrigerated food, which is very visible upon entering inside. The food there looked very bland and old, and definitely was far from its freshest state. 3. The experience was quite interesting. I'll leave the part where I needed to speak French to order because I nearly switched to English and it got confusing, but the best part was seeing the employees make the rolls. It was like a talent show, but the ones you have in high school or elementary where a few people mess up their act. It wasn't great. I saw my ingredients being dropped on the cutting board, being placed meticulously on top of the roll, then falling again, and finally poorly placed in a fashion that allowed them to stay on the roll. The cutting motions were also off, and there was no rhythm to the dance. Fortunately, the taste was less bland than the act. 4. Average at most. The service wasn't bad, but not exceptional either. The workers were friendly and patient, and fast enough. For a restaurant inside a mall, it got the job done. 5. The food bowls seemed to have the best calorie/dollar ratio, but were still expensive. The "freshly" made rolls however took the cake as the most expensive items on the menu. I made sure to order a cheap and simple roll as it was a first-time experience for a person I brought with me, but even that came to around $13, for just eight pieces. The only addition to the ebi tempura roll was a piece of avocado that took too long to place on top. The other rolls, after Québec's higher tax rates, were all nearing $15-17. Definitely way too expensive for simple mall sushi. - As I stated in paragraph 5, I was accompanied by a friend that day. That person had never tasted sushi before, and was grouped alongside other haters of the dish that are turned off by the "raw fish". For that reason, I picked the ebi tempura roll as a first experience. I knew that based on what I saw, the choice was safe, and that most people generally do enjoy that roll. It was received pleasantly, and now that person is at least open to the idea of trying more in the future. I was just passing by on a trip and decided to stop at the first sushi restaurant I saw, and Ryu was the one. Lastly, I didn't see any dragon rolls on the menu or other food items that could be related to the restaurant's name, so that was a bit disappointing. A mid-tier experience, but not a bad one.

You can also order to go here I believe. They really operate efficiently, expect fast service! Tables are tightly situated and there's a cozy bar situation where I sat this time, able to watch the chefs cook right in front of me. The daily specials are posted on their Instagram page, as well as written on pieces of paper around the restaurant. My server quickly helped me to water and a glass of sake. I placed a to go order for one of the daily specials, the grilled sea bass with sushi rice and salad, with some kimchi. I also ordered the BBQ chicken with tortilla and salad, as well as vegetable gyoza. Everything was incredible. Truly. The gyoza came topped with green onions and was SO crispy and hot and was perfect with their soy sauce. I thought sea bass was wonderful with a unique almost smoky flavor that melted in my mouth paired with the slightly sweet sticky rice. The barbecue chicken was great as well and better the next day. One thing I don't really understand is why they served plain flour tortillas cut into quarters with their food. We didn't utilize this, nor the white butter/mayo sauce that came alongside it. I hope to eat here often, for years to come and am so happy to see this iconic Japanese restaurant still thriving years later.

Once seated, things happen very quickly...it is go, go, go (in the best possible way.) We ordered appetizers first, the tempura green beans with a delicious truffle mayo, gyoza and the tofu salad (they make it fresh every Sunday). Green beans were everyone's fave, but I have to mention the (pickled?) vegetables on the salad. So flavourful! Also tried the egg drop soup which is so tasty. Mains were the salmon tuna bowl, the beef short ribs, the shrimp burger, and 48 hour pork with curry sauce. Everything was wonderful! Finished with their soft serve ice cream, I had the cherry blossom but one of us had the sake, which is a shot of sake poured on top. Amazing! You can even have wasabi or ginger... I'll try that next time (and there will be a next time soon!)

    Low key and small all you can eat sushi place…read more We went on a Thursday night. They have a pretty good menu items. From what I noticed the menu is the same from Tuesday to Thursday and then they have a separate menu for Friday to Sunday. Some of the rolls were different then other all you can eat places so we tried those. For the weekly menu they do not offer sashimi only nigiris. The price per person is approximately 28$ tax in. I definitely recommend this place. Service was really good and the food was coming out pretty fast. The sushi and the fried stuff were to our liking. We had to call to get reservations because they don't have a website but when we went it seemed like ppl were coming in without reservations The only bad thing about this place was the ice cream, I got the green tea ice cream but it has a powdery feeling/ taste. Which I don't recommend. This place is good for small groups. I would go back definitely

Half the sushi's were good typical AYCE quality, the other half were pretty bad, greasy fried bits, not fresh and crispy. AVOID syake tempura and crevette tempura (huge ball of greasy fried fish), crispy maki, original futomaki, tori age, dragon eye. DO TRY maki de tartar and exotique. The service was very good and quick no complaints there.

    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!

Tout était vraiment exquis. Pour cette soirée, nous avons dépensé près de 400 $, et sur le plan culinaire, l'expérience était à la hauteur. Malheureusement, le service a complètement terni la soirée. La façon cavalière dont l assistant gérant nous a pratiquement montré la porte est inacceptable. Un sérieux manque de jugement et de tact. Nous fréquentons régulièrement des restaurants de Montréal et de Laval, et jamais -- je dis bien jamais -- nous n'avons été traités de cette façon. Se faire presser ainsi devant ses invités, lors d'un anniversaire, est franchement humiliant. Nous avons eu honte de la situation. À 18 h, nous ne pensions certainement pas devoir écourter la soirée. Le message reçu était clair : "Mangez, dépensez, et libérez la table rapidement, d'autres clients attendent." Un établissement qui se positionne comme une expérience haut de gamme ne peut se permettre un tel manque de respect. Plus jamais. Avis basé sur notre expérience personnelle, honnête et factuelle. On February 21 at 6:00 p.m., we were four people at Torii Sushi in Laval to celebrate a birthday. The sushi and their presentation are at the forefront of Japanese cuisine. Everything was truly exquisite. For this evening, we spent close to $400, and from a culinary standpoint, the experience met expectations. Unfortunately, the service completely ruined the evening. The cavalier manner in which the assistant manager practically showed us the door is unacceptable. A serious lack of judgment and tact. We regularly visit restaurants in Montreal and Laval, and never -- I repeat, never -- have we been treated this way. Being rushed like that in front of our guests, during a birthday celebration, is frankly humiliating. We felt ashamed of the situation. At 6:00 p.m., we certainly did not expect to have to cut our evening short. The message was clear: "Eat, spend, and free the table quickly -- other customers are waiting." An establishment that positions itself as a high-end experience cannot afford such a lack of respect. Never again. Review based on our personal experience, honest and factual.

I've eaten in the dinning area a few times but I mostly done take out. The stuff is always so nice and friendly. I love there's salmon tartare is comes with this yummy sauce. I think it's a must. I usually try to get different sushi everytime I go to try them out, I definitely recommend everything on the menu so far. This place is great for in dining or takeout and always great for small and big groups.
