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 omakase hautement théâtrale et immersive qui transporte souvent ses convives au Japon grâce à une attention méticuleuse aux détails, des ingrédients de grande qualité et une présentation artistique. Bien que de nombreux clients saluent le service exceptionnel, le savoir faire des chefs et l'ambiance globale comme un choix idéal pour les occasions spéciales, certains visiteurs ont trouvé le rythme trop rapide, le prix difficile à justifier ou le manque de proximité dans les échanges par rapport à leurs attentes. Malgré des avis partagés sur la constance et le rapport qualité prix, le restaurant est largement reconnu pour sa capacité à offrir un voyage culinaire mémorable, de nombreux convives appréciant l'occasion unique de déguster des saveurs authentiques et des spécialités saisonnières rarement trouvées ailleurs à Montréal.
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.
This restaurant is a true gem that we didn't expect to find in Montreal. We are a group of Japanese Taiwanese visitors who reside in California who have visited many high end Japanese restaurants in our life (many cost way more than this meal), yet we truly cannot say any exceeded Okeya in the selection & quality of food, the thoughtful service & the performance they put together. Everything was creatively weaved into a well designed & balanced fine dining experience that entertained both our palate & mind.
The dinner was a 28 Kaseiki course meal, with interesting details & ingredients demonstrated (sorry to keep it vague as I am trying to avoid spoilers). Even the hand picked fruit was the best cantaloupe & mango we have ever had, IN MONTREAL!!!
I want to add that the beer & sake they chose for us were spot on, & they did a great job with the last minute adaptation to the group of 4's individual preferences. We immediately booked to come back in two days for their 15-course lunch. Book ahead of time as the seats are quite limited.
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.

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.
Highly rated & it's worth it - great experience & a wonderful occasion to re-discover classics, but elevated by craftmanship & the choice of ingredients, as well as dishes less frequently found on the the menus of Japanese restaurants here !
We had a wonderful time as beautifully crafted dishes were served one after another like a show. The chef used seasonal ingredients & prepared each dish right in front of us, making the experience enjoyable both to watch & to taste. The flavors were perfect, & despite being in Montreal, the restaurant made me feel nostalgic for the tastes of my hometown. It's truly a remarkable place.
I've been to the Toronto location when it first opened & maybe the novelty has worn off, but my visit here was a bit of a disappointment. The experience didn't feel as luxurious (Toronto gave me a souvenir at the end of the meal) & for 20 courses, the service was pretty rushed at slightly under 2 hours.
I appreciate the use of seasonal & high quality ingredients. Things like aiyu sweetfish, Hokkaido hairy crab & Ibaraki sweet potato are hard to come by outside Japan. However, it didn't feel like these special ingredients were allowed to shine in the cooking.
For example, the few pieces of junsai were cut too small & hidden below the pile of cucumber, shrimp & umibudo - it didn't feel like junsai was the star of the dish. The wagyu slice was also soaked in sesame sauce, which didn't allow its beautiful umami to come through.
The use of wild BC tuna for otoro also meant that it's leaner & less fatty than what I'm used to. The lack of the signature'melt in your mouth' feel of otoro was a shame.
Overall, none of the dishes stood out to me. They were very bland & one-note, propped up by pretty presentation. The service was amazing & I wish the food wowed me more.

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.
