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).
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.
I recently had the pleasure of dining at Okeya Kyujiro, & it was an unforgettable experience that truly deserves a five-star review. From the moment we walked in, the exceptional service set the tone for the evening. The staff was attentive, knowledgeable, & genuinely passionate about providing a top-tier dining experience. The omakase experience at Okeya Kyujiro is nothing short of theatrical. Each course was presented with a flourish, transforming the meal into a captivating performance. The chef's skill & artistry were evident in every dish, with each bite delivering an explosion of flavors that were simply out of this world. The attention to detail was remarkable, from the impeccably fresh ingredients to the exquisite presentation of each course. The pacing of the meal was perfect, allowing us to savor & appreciate each dish fully. It's clear that Okeya Kyujiro takes great pride in both their culinary creations & their guest experience. Overall, Okeya Kyujiro provided a dining experience that was both memorable & extraordinary. The combination of exceptional service, stunning food, & a theatrical presentation makes this restaurant a must-visit for any sushi enthusiast. I can't wait to return & experience it all over again.
Une experience hors du commun. Nous y sommes allés pour l'anniversaire d'un proche & l'équipe a pris le temps de souligner cet anniversaire à la fin, sans que nous leur demandions quoi que ce soit. Plus de 20 services & tous d'une qualité supérieure. Des produits frais & succulents! Nous recommandons sans hésiter!
My husband & I traveled to Montreal for our honeymoon & had dinner at Okeya Kyujiro one night. It was an absolutely incredible experience. The food was the best we've ever had & watching the chefs prepare the food in front of you is spectacular. The service from the entire staff was top notch. We highly recommend this experience!

Une expérience digne d'un guide Michelin, la nourriture etait fraîche & exquise, nous avons passé une soirée magnifique Le spectacle était très bien préparé Merci pour cette soirée
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.
Okeya Kyujiro is hands down the best sushi restaurant in Montreal! It's a haven of authentic & traditional Japanese cuisine, a rare gem in a city where most sushi spots are not owned by a Japanese chef. The seats are very limited, so be sure to make a reservation ahead. Yes, it's a bit pricey. But trust me, it's worth every penny. Okeya Kyujiro is more than a culinary experience, it's an actual show! I was also impressed by the profile of our waiter, who was at least fluent in English, French, Spanish, & Japanese. If the Michelin Guide team came to Montreal, their restaurant deserves a star just like its Vancouver counterpart. In essence, Okeya Kyujiro is more than a restaurant; it's an immersive journey through Japanese attention to detail, indulging all the senses. Perfect for a date!

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.
This was one of the best culinary experience I've been in Montreal in sushi style!!! My boyfriend took me here on Valentine day!!! The chefs were very passionate in making everything a delicacy! I tried items I never tried before! It's beautiful how japonaise have a high respect of their own ritual at source! It was extremely satisfying & also understand why they fall in Michelin star category! You need to tried it once in your life!!! Thank you to the chef & his team!!! We will definitely go back!!!
