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).

Review Summary

At Okeya Kyujiro, the omakase experience is immersive and artistic, with expertly prepped fish, precise pacing, and a sense of being transported to Japan through the flavors, textures, and intimate counter seating. The staff are consistently attentive and knowledgeable, explanations are detailed without being overbearing, and presentations feel like small culinary performances. Many diners call it one of the best or top sushi and Japanese meals in Montreal, a special occasion destination, and worth the premium. Some reviews note a few drawbacks, such as a brisk tempo, occasional service hiccups, or desserts that could be lighter, and a few reservations about value for money, but the overall verdict remains overwhelmingly favorable. A number of guests mention lunch as a particularly strong option and celebrate the hospitality and thoughtful touches that feel like gifts.

Some update. I've visited this place twice-once about two years ago & again last month. The meal was excellent both times, & it's clear the chef is highly skilled. However, I'm not sure I'd return unless it's on the company's dime. Having traveled to Japan many times & experienced a wide variety of authentic cuisine, I feel this restaurant is overpriced for what it offers. Unfortunately, it seems to be a common issue in Canada-getting exceptional Japanese food here often comes with a premium $$$

The service was outstanding. Incredibly professional yet somehow still warm & friendly. The small details of them pulling out your seat for you & assisting you with your jacket didn't go unnoticed. Every single bite was prepared with care & the incorporation of several parts of the fish into the recipes is a beautiful way to support sustainability. The chefs are working on a creative & precise level that is unmatched. Everything was delicious. Will be back for sure !

The best authentic sushi experience in Montreal

Incredible experience from the setting to the amazing experience of watching the team work & the food be prepared. The food was unquestionably the best sushi experience in my life so tasty & fresh but also very complex in the Flavor & some surprised me so much. Highly recommend was amazing in everyway. I would add more photos but don't want to ruin the surprise although I'm sure they change there menu & even if u see it you will still be satisfied.

It's a theatrical omakase place & obviously there is some theatrics involved. However that also brings the possibility of having rowdy patrons & that was a deal breaker for us. Food wise there are scopes for improvements, especially at this price point. But there are not many places in Montreal to offer an authentic omakase experience.

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.

Sushi Okeya Kyujiro was an incredible experience. The moment we stepped in, it was as if we were in Japan. The staff were amazing throughout the entire evening. I felt well taken care of. They had extensive knowledge about the omakase chefs & the dishes they served. The food I was served that evening was out of this world. Every bite was created with such care, & I found myself feeling so grateful to be able to experience so many different foods & textures after every service. It was so good that I felt like I could no longer eat box sushi anymore. Overall, I will 100% visit again. I'm excited about the next experience they have in store.
