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.

hi. I really like this place. The food was good until the 4th time in the evening omakase. This was the best Japanese food I had in Canada. I didn't enjoy going to a more expensive Japanese restaurant in Toronto. The chefs here are professional. Watch how many times he touches the rice of the sushi. I lived in Japan, but it's okay here in Canada too. Of course, there are many better places in Korea. But servers in Japan & Korea are crazy friendly. I will definitely visit here again. The tip was over 1000 CAD, but it was well worth it. Actually, I applaud the chef, but I'd like to pay the servers more.

From the moment I stepped into Sushi Okeya Kyujiro, I knew I was in for an unparalleled dining experience. This isn't just a restaurant; it's a symphony of Japanese culinary excellence, seamlessly interwoven with the enchantment of theater & the authenticity of traditional culture. The culinary journey here goes beyond mere eating. Each dish is a testament to top-quality ingredients, masterfully prepared with a meticulous attention to detail. The Omakase Kaiseki, for instance, is not just food on a plate; it's a narrative of flavors, each telling a story of Japanese culinary heritage. But what sets Sushi Okeya Kyujiro apart is its immersive theatrical choreography, which transforms dining into a profoundly emotional experience. The ambiance is thoughtfully curated - dim lighting, traditional attire, & a sense of ceremonious unveiling of dishes combine to create an atmosphere that is both mystical & intimate. I have visited countless establishments, even in Osaka, Kyoto & Tokyo, but Sushi Okeya Kyujiro stands out as a beacon of culinary innovation & cultural fusion. It is more than sublime food; it's an emotional journey that disarms & delights in equal measure. This place is a rare gem where food, theater, & culture meld in perfect harmony, offering a dining experience that is both epic & intimately personal. To reveal more would be to spoil the myriad of surprises that await within its doors. Suffice it to say, Sushi Okeya Kyujiro is not just the best restaurant I've ever visited; it's a journey through the heart of Japanese artistry that leaves you yearning for more.

What a magical experience! Yes it's expensive but less expensive than buying plane tickets to go to Japan 😅 We were greeted by the hostess at the entrance & service was to the highest standard. Definitely the best fish I've ever tasted! You won't regret it
