About

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.

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.

One of the best Japanese meals I have ever eaten( & I have traveled the world & eaten at many excellent restaurants).
The staff, both the chefs & wait-staff were pleasant, kind, helpful, & highly skilled. One of the chefs was particularly kind & I was so pleased there was also a woman chef. The ambience, including the music at the beginning & the end, was lovely. Yumi, one of the waitresses, was particularly helpful. I also liked the small bottle of sparkling unfiltered sake.
Overall, outstanding! In Japanese, I would say'utsukushi'!!
Domo arigato.

Dining at Okeya Kyujiro was good. My expectations were high but my experience felt short. The show was supposed to start at 20:15, but actually started 25 minutes late… not professional. Out of the 25+ courses, I genuinely enjoyed at best 6 of the courses. In my opinion, everything else was just ok. The staff was very friendly & described every course. Overall, I can't justify the price of the experience, because it was good but not great. Thank you.
