Okeya Kyujiro provides a theatrical omakase experience centered on precise culinary craftsmanship and traditional Japanese techniques. The menu showcases seasonal seafood flown in directly from Japan to ensure maximum freshness and authenticity for every course served. Diners observe the preparation of delicate nigiri and intricate sashimi platters within a minimalist, wood-focused setting designed to highlight the ingredients. Each sequential dish emphasizes the purity of flavor, focusing on balance between acidity, texture, and umami. The service follows a rhythmic flow, synchronizing the pace of the meal with the expert preparation occurring at the central counter. This commitment to ritualized preparation elevates standard sushi offerings into a choreographed performance of skill. The focus remains exclusively on the structural integrity of the fish and the seasoned vinegared rice that anchors the entire experience.

Okeya Kyujiro offers a highly theatrical and immersive omakase experience that frequently transports guests to Japan through its meticulous attention to detail, high quality ingredients, and artistic presentation. While many patrons praise the exceptional service, skillful craftsmanship of the chefs, and the overall atmosphere as a perfect choice for special occasions, some visitors found the pacing to be rushed, the pricing difficult to justify, or the intimacy of the interaction lacking compared to their expectations. Despite varied opinions on consistency and value, the restaurant is widely celebrated for its ability to provide a memorable culinary journey, with many diners appreciating the unique opportunity to enjoy authentic flavors and seasonal specialties that are rarely found elsewhere in Montreal.
This was a truly one-of-a-kind experience with an omakase of unmatched quality. Each dish was crafted like a show, & being able to watch the chef prepare the seasonal ingredients right in front of us was absolutely mesmerizing. It is rare to find a place in Montreal that captures the true essence of Japanese cuisine so authentically & goes so far beyond expectations.
There were moments throughout the meal that were so moving they actually brought me to tears. The restaurant was filled with others celebrating birthdays & anniversaries, & it is easy to see why-this place is truly something special. I cannot recommend this gem highly enough.
Quelle expérience mémorable sur la rue de la Montagne. Chaque bouchée était une véritable oeuvre d'art, témoignant d'une maîtrise technique exceptionnelle.
Le soin apporté à la présentation est tout simplement remarquable. J'ai particulièrement admiré la finesse de la découpe sur le nigiri de thon, dont la texture était fondante à souhait. C'est rare de trouver une telle qualité & une telle attention aux détails ici à Montréal. Je recommande vivement cette adresse à tous les amateurs de grande gastronomie.
J'y suis aller pour fêter l'anniversaire de ma conjointe, elle a adoré! C'est une expérience authentique qu'on ne retrouve pas ailleurs. Ils méritent pleinement leur étoile Michelin, je le recommande fortement!!!

Quelle expérience incroyable, comme être au Japon le temps d'un repas! Je recommande vivement le brunch omakase offert du vendredi au dimanche qui est à une fraction du prix du souper.
Je suis revenue en avril 2026. Expérience tout aussi incroyable! Prête à revenir n'importe quand, excellent rapport qualité prix.
It is my second time going to Okeya & I really loved it. The restaurant offers a cozy, intimate & immersive experience. I really felt I was in Japan. The food is delicious & with every dish you can feel many flavours in one bite. I really loved my experience & would definitely go back. I recommend!
My cousin Said & I had our very first omakase experience here, & it was truly unforgettable.
From the moment we walked in, we were welcomed with genuine warmth. Fabrizio greeted us right at the door & immediately made us feel comfortable. He was incredibly kind, attentive, & took the time to explain what we were eating, which made the experience even more special. Celica was also wonderful - friendly, caring, & thoughtful throughout the entire evening.
A huge thank you to Master Chef Hikaru for such an incredible culinary journey. Every dish was beautifully prepared, full of flavor, & presented with care & precision. You can truly feel the passion behind each course.
This experience honestly made us feel like we were in Japan. For our first omakase, it couldn't have been more perfect. The hospitality, the food, & the atmosphere all came together seamlessly.
We loved every moment & will definitely be back. This set the bar high - & now we're inspired to experience omakase again, maybe even one day in Japan. Highly recommend Okeya to anyone looking for something truly special.
It was an amazing place !! I felt so much warm from japanese culture & japanese people 🥰 the food was really delicious. It wasn't just a meal, it was a real experience. It's a small part of Japan here in Canada ! I highly recommend !
We visited as a family of three-my wife, my daughter, & myself. From the moment we entered, the server kindly guided us, & we immediately felt a genuine sense of hospitality. As the curtain rose & the dishes were presented alongside the music, everything felt exceptionally refined-it was such a wonderful experience that we almost forgot we were not in Japan.
We were truly happy to find that such outstanding Japanese cuisine can be enjoyed in Montreal. The server's detailed explanations of each dish & the chef's performance made the entire two-hour experience thoroughly enjoyable. We would definitely love to visit again. We are Japanese, & even from a Japanese perspective, this restaurant is highly recommended.
