Okeya Kyujiro Montreal Restaurant: Menu, Reviews & Reserve (2026)
JapaneseSushiAsianBrunchFine Dining / UpscaleTasting Menu

Montreal’s first, reservation only, OMAKASE restaurant. (Omakase means “Chef’s choice”)

In addition to being imported directly from Japan, fresh fish is also acquired from all over the world.
Our experienced Chefs meticulously select fish that suit the season, and use additional methods when necessary to maximize its umami (“delicious taste”).
We make it possible to indulge in Edomae sushi, as if you were in Japan.

We commit to serving fresh dishes of the highest quality, whilst also offering multi-sensory entertainment.

In addition to quality food, we also wish you to experience Japanese culture. So, special attention is given to using authentic
dining ware and cooking tools. We value your time with us and wish for it to be a live, interactive experience.
We welcome you with Omotenashi (the Japanese philosophy of hospitality).

Savour Japan while staying in Canada!

Review Summary

Reviewers describe Okeya Kyujiro as an intimate, immersive omakase experience that feels like a journey to Japan, with pristine ingredients, artful plating, and a dynamic, chef-led progression served right in front of guests. The service is repeatedly praised as attentive, polished, and personal, with explanations of dishes and provenance that elevate the tasting. Many note the ambiance as refined and authentic, the counter seating and open kitchen enhancing the sense of ceremony, and the overall experience frequently deemed memorable and worth the price, often positioned as a special occasion or bucket-list meal. Some report the brunch omakase as a more approachable alternative at a fraction of the dinner price. A few critiques appear around pacing, price, and value, occasional dessert misalignment, limited wine options or wine knowledge among staff, and an abrupt ending or fast tempo on certain visits, but these are outweighed by praise for consistency, the freshness of fish, and the artistry of the courses. Overall, the restaurant is widely celebrated as one of Montreal’s premier Japanese dining experiences, with many reviewers eager to return and celebrate milestones.

Unique experience in Montreal. Yeah it is on the pricey end, but this is not the place where you would go on the regular basis, worth to visit at least once. Especially if you've never had an omakase experience.

My partner & I wanted something luxurious & that's exactly what we got. The attention to detail was spectacular & the staff were polite, attentive, friendly, & dressed in traditional Japanese robes which made the whole place feel authentic. We loved that there was the 2023 Michelin star behind us & the bar was professional yet warm & homey to sit up on. We were seated directly in front of the owner & head chef who did an excellent job of providing a unique & theatrical experience. We loved the fish & dishes he held out for us to view before serving to us & the staff right behind our ears letting us know about the next dish we were about to eat. There were something like 20 courses but it felt like over 30 with many types of appetizers, nigiri, rice dishes, noodles & dessert to eat. I cannot rave enough about the quality of the ingredients & the craftsmanship of the food plated in front of me. I ate Japanese food I never expected to experience such as wagu beef, otoro tuna belly, salmon roe, fresh bonito shavings, uni, sweet raw shrimp, two types of unagi, & so many unique types of fish. It is definitely expensive but also definitely worth the visit if you can spare a few hundred dollars. We were excited for every single dish that came out to us & tried to savor every momemt, however fleeting. I wish I could eat like this every day. 100/10 would recommend.

When looking for a "special" restaurant to take my husband out for his 50th birthday, Okeya immediately came to mind. I have known about this restaurant since it opened, but wanted to wait for the perfect occasion to try considering the cost. It was completely worth it if you want a unique experience coupled with delicious food made with high quality ingredients mostly flown in from Japan. We were lucky to have been seated right in front of chef-owner Takuya Matsuda & have an amazing view of his mastery. Every dish was carefully thought through & presented. Highly recommended for a special occasion - which is the reason most of the guests that ate with us that evening came for.

This is a once in a lifetime experience. Everything, & I do mean every single thing, was excellent from start to finish. The theatrical aspect of this omakase experience is definitely what makes it unique, as well as all the fresh international ingredients (including some very cool fish)!! We came here for a birthday & the little piano was the cherry on top! Merci & Arigato chef.

À 300$ par personne dans compter pourboires & boissons, ce n'est pas donné. Mais ça vaut le coût. Les plats, le service, le spectacle, tout est impeccable. Une expérience unique à vivre au moins une fois dans sa vie.
