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.

Truly stunning meal that's one of a kind! The sushi is the highest of quality, the service was outstanding, & everything was just amazing. It's very true to what omakase in Japan is like & they go above & beyond with the menu here. There were some bites that made me emotional. It's definitely a special occasion restaurant & everyone there was celebrating a birthday or anniversary, but if I had my way (or the funds) I would celebrate all my birthdays there!

- Les ingrédients sont de qualité & très frais.
- L'exécution du chef est d'une délicatesse & d'une beauté spectaculaire.

Mes coups de coeur:
*morue marinée au miso
*foie de lotte,
* patate douce japonaise
* uni: l'oursin importé d'Hokkaido est d'une fondance incroyable
* bol de riz chirashi

I had lunch with my friend. It was good but a bit under my expectation.

This is a Kaiseki styled restaurant that serves a mix of sushi & hot dishes. While the ingredients are fresh & cooked well, the tempo of the dishes served is a bit faster than what is typical for a satisfying course. The staff was professional & knowledgeable. We had a good experience here.

Es apenas mi segundo Omakase. Y fue un tanto distinta a la primera. El maestro encargado me parecio más joven, pero muy ordenado, preciso y protocolario. El carrusel de bocadillos nipones estaban muy bien..siempre uno tras otro y siempre con su descripcion narrativa!! TODO buenisimo, de primera y fresco. Me encanto la langosta tempura y el rolls de erizo. El caldo con piscas de oro comestibles al final ...pues me parecio un tanto sobrado!!! $$$

I've been here twice, & both times were excellent. From the food, to the service to the atmosphere.

This is literally the best culinary experience my & my gf ever had period. The quality of the food, the service & whole atmosphere was simply astonishing. Went there for my birthday & the attention to details was something I've never experienced (even in high class restaurant). Yes it's expensive but if you enjoy good sushi you need to try it once in your life.

J'ai absolument adoré mon expérience. J'ai beaucoup appris sur la culture japonaise. Dès notre arrivée, nous avons été accueillis avec un service impeccable qui s'est poursuivi tout au long de la soirée. Je recommande cette expérience à tous!

Coming from NYC i know what a good omakase feels like. Still, the theatrics & meticulousness, the music & the variety of flavors & spacing makes this bounds above the rest. I felt like i was eating food in like a scene from the Legend of Zelda or something along the like. Apparently it was inspired & modeled after circus de soleil, just a culinary version. An amazing olfactory, auditory & culinary journey.

C'est l'une des expériences culinaires les plus extraordinaires que j'ai eu la chance de vivre. Chaque plat est divin, parfaitement balancé avec les produits les plus frais & les plus délicieux. Le service est impeccable de la première minute à la dernière minute, avec une attention particulière à chaque détail. Des explications sur le menu vous suivront tout au long de l'expérience. C'est dispendieux, mais c'est totalement mémorable !
