Quite pricy but they give you a lot of food. By Taipei standard, ingredients are as good as you can get. Pace is a bit fast which makes the place feeling a bit restless. Service staff is nevertheless attentive. Make sure you ask for chef Shawn, professional and great advice.

I found mixed reviews about Sushi Ryu online when I was doing pre-reservation research on this Michelin one-star restaurant

I can attest that the quality curation and taste at Sushi Ryu are still very good. The staff was incredibly helpful, especially when we didn’t get the mandarin names of the fish or an ingredient. They kindly showed us diagrams with detailed explanations of the seasonality and different preparation methods.
The Onakase menu could change due to seasonality and the availability of ingredients. During my visit, I had the pleasure to find out how great these dishes were: 燒白鰻配山椒鹽、吞拿魚赤身漬、赤海膽、紅喉壽司配蘿蔔泥

My visit was right before my flight out of Taipei, and the meal was a wonderful highlight in the midst of all the hustle and the trip back home.

The appetizers, while weren’t omakase sushi, were incredibly delectable. But of course, when it came to the actual sushi, it was incredible. Not the kind of place to go for flashy presentations, but the food definitely has quite a lot of substance; I would expect only true connoisseurs would be able to appreciate Sushi Ryu

All the ingredients were fresh and delicious. The service and vibe were also nice. It’s kinda noise if someone talking loud next to you or near you since everyone was sitting in the bar table together.

The service is good; food is nice but not too much creativity. There is no sparks for the dining experience.
Whether it is worth 7000 dollars for a set menu is a doubt to me. Or I simply spent more on the Michelin star rather than the food and aspirations itself.
