Okeya Kyujiro propose une expérience omakase théâtrale centrée sur un savoir-faire culinaire précis et des techniques japonaises traditionnelles. Le menu met en valeur des fruits de mer saisonniers importés directement du Japon afin de garantir une fraîcheur et une authenticité optimales pour chaque service. Les convives observent la préparation de nigiris délicats et de plateaux de sashimis complexes au sein d’un cadre minimaliste axé sur le bois, conçu pour sublimer chaque ingrédient. Chaque plat séquentiel souligne la pureté des saveurs, en se concentrant sur l'équilibre entre l'acidité, la texture et l'umami. Le service suit un flux rythmé, synchronisant le rythme du repas avec la préparation experte effectuée au comptoir central. Cet engagement envers une préparation ritualisée transforme les offres de sushis standards en une performance chorégraphiée. L'accent demeure exclusivement sur l'intégrité structurelle du poisson et le riz vinaigré assaisonné qui ancre l'expérience entière.

Okeya Kyujiro propose une expérience gastronomique immersive et théâtrale qui transporte ses convives au Japon grâce à un omakase minutieusement élaboré. De nombreux visiteurs considèrent cet établissement comme une véritable perle culinaire à Montréal, soulignant la fraîcheur exceptionnelle et la qualité des ingrédients tels que le bœuf Wagyu, le thon gras et les fruits de mer de saison. Le service est fréquemment décrit comme professionnel, chaleureux et très attentionné, le personnel fournissant des explications détaillées qui enrichissent l'appréciation de chaque plat. Bien qu'une minorité de clients ait estimé que le rythme ou l'atmosphère ne correspondaient pas toujours à leurs attentes en termes de rapport qualité-prix, la grande majorité des convives sont conquis par la présentation artistique et le caractère rituel du repas. Célébré comme une destination idéale pour les grandes occasions, le restaurant laisse une impression mémorable à ceux qui apprécient le savoir-faire authentique, l'harmonie des saveurs et une performance spectaculaire.
Une expérience originale grâce au spectacle du chef japonais, particulièrement habile, & à des poissons très frais. En revanche, les saveurs manquent franchement d'originalité & ne sont pas à la hauteur du standing annoncé.
Surtout, l'addition est exorbitante au regard de ce qui est proposé. À ce niveau de prix, nous attendons un cadre & un service irréprochables. Or, malheureusement, ce n'est pas le cas.
Une belle démonstration de savoir-faire, mais une expérience qui ne justifie clairement pas le prix payé (1031,00$ pour 2 personnes).
What an experience! It was my first omakase & I didn't expect to be that in love with the concept!
The service was a next level experience, they show you the whole fish before they cook it, the waitress takes the time at every service to explain what the chef just made.
Also there's a surprise waiting for you if it's your birthday :)
This was a truly one-of-a-kind experience with an omakase of unmatched quality. Each dish was crafted like a show, & being able to watch the chef prepare the seasonal ingredients right in front of us was absolutely mesmerizing. It is rare to find a place in Montreal that captures the true essence of Japanese cuisine so authentically & goes so far beyond expectations.
There were moments throughout the meal that were so moving they actually brought me to tears. The restaurant was filled with others celebrating birthdays & anniversaries, & it is easy to see why-this place is truly something special. I cannot recommend this gem highly enough.
Came in for the lunch omakase this past weekend. Walked into a dark room, the counter hidden behind heavy blinds. Once everyone was seated, the blinds rolled up with the loud, sharp clack of hyoshigi (traditional hardwood blocks).
There weren't many performative beats after that, & since conversation with the chefs wasn't'allowed' (you communicate through the servers), the silence actually helped. It pushed all your attention onto what was happening behind the counter.
The meal itself, though, didn't match what I expected at the price. Outside of the kegani (Hokkaido hairy crab), there wasn't much in the way of unique selections across the course. The neta was solid, but for a place that strictly adheres to Edomae traditions, the flavors weren't as concentrated as they should've been. I could still taste moisture in some of the fish. A few of the fatty pieces & skins never got torched either, so the kin medai & saba came off a little flat.
There was also a mismatch with the shari. They used larger-grain Sasanishiki, which usually pairs beautifully with fatty cuts (& I loved it on its own), but against neta this restrained, the rice felt texturally too assertive.
Please be warned that we went on a Saturday night & it was 300$ per person without tax & tips. If you can see past that price, then you can truly enjoy a magical culinary experience at Okeya Kyujiro. Almost everything we experienced this evening was phenomenal to me. We were greeted politely as soon as we entered the restaurant, the waitresses offered to take our jackets & showed us our seats. Once all the customers had been seated, the chefs introduced themselves & started cooking spectacularly in front of us at a incredibly fast speed. Throughout the night, we enjoyed 30 different dishes that were all presented wonderfully & they each had their charm. Most of them had remarkable flavours & amazing creativity. The variation of texture, flavours & temperature was truly an exceptional experience. Of course there were some of the dishes that were less enjoyable, but they were still beautiful to look at nonetheless. My favourite part is definitely the flawless balance between the rice, the fish with the sauce & the amount of wasabi. Each ingredient goes so well together & there's nothing overpowering the other. Everything is in harmony & elevates the sushi experience to another level. While you wait for the next course to be served, you get to enjoy the presentation of the ingredients & seeing them being cooked right in front of you. It's a wonderful spectacle & it felt like I was watching the chefs cooking in an artistic fashion. I also really enjoyed how the waitresses came beside us to personally describe each dish as we were about to eat them. They were always smiling & friendly while also staying polite. They were also attentive to details, wished the people who were celebrating their birthday a Happy Birthday & they even brought out a piano to play us a birthday song. Seriously, both the food & the service was first-class. Finally, I can confidently say that I was pretty full after tasting 30 different dishes & it was truly a wonderful experience.
What an incredible experience! The attention to detail & level of service felt truly personal. Every bite was exceptional, & the staff & chefs made us feel so genuinely welcome throughout the entire lunch. By the end, you will forget you're in Montreal, it truly feels like being transported to Japan. Thank you for such a memorable meal; I can't wait to return!
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.
My cousin Said & I had our very first omakase experience here, & it was truly unforgettable.
From the moment we walked in, we were welcomed with genuine warmth. Fabrizio greeted us right at the door & immediately made us feel comfortable. He was incredibly kind, attentive, & took the time to explain what we were eating, which made the experience even more special. Celica was also wonderful - friendly, caring, & thoughtful throughout the entire evening.
A huge thank you to Master Chef Hikaru for such an incredible culinary journey. Every dish was beautifully prepared, full of flavor, & presented with care & precision. You can truly feel the passion behind each course.
This experience honestly made us feel like we were in Japan. For our first omakase, it couldn't have been more perfect. The hospitality, the food, & the atmosphere all came together seamlessly.
We loved every moment & will definitely be back. This set the bar high - & now we're inspired to experience omakase again, maybe even one day in Japan. Highly recommend Okeya to anyone looking for something truly special.
10/10 experience at Sushi Okeya Kyujiro. Truly one of the best dining experiences my cousin & I have had in Montreal.
A special thank you to Master Chef Hikaru, Fabrizio, & Celica. The level of care, precision, & hospitality we received was exceptional. Every course was beautifully presented & absolutely outstanding in flavor. You can feel the passion & discipline behind each dish.
Fabrizio & Celica made us feel genuinely welcomed from the moment we arrived. The service was attentive, warm, & perfectly timed. Master Chef Hikaru's craftsmanship speaks for itself. It was an unforgettable experience.
Management should be incredibly proud of this team. They represent excellence at the highest level. We truly appreciate the hospitality & look forward to returning!
This was a Bucket List experience for me. I was expecting to wait until I could go to Japan for this experience, but then, I was told about Okeya. My favorite part of the evening was the presentation of the ingredients & the explanation of the provenance. I am glad that the menu included every traditional dish I expected including the best fatty tuna & waigu. This is more than a meal, it's an experience. I am also glad that my seat was ideal for watching the executive chef work (right corner). I look forward to returning.
