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.
