Le premier restaurant OMAKASE de Montréal, sur réservation seulement. (Omakase signifie «le choix du Chef») En plus d’être importé directement du Japon, le poisson frais est également acquis dans le monde entier.
Nos chefs expérimentés sélectionnent méticuleusement les poissons qui conviennent à la saison et utilisent des méthodes supplémentaires si nécessaire pour maximiser leur umami («goût délicieux»). Nous vous permettons de vous adonner aux sushis Edomae, comme si vous étiez au Japon.
Les retours sur Okeya Kyujiro convergent vers une experience omakase a la fois raffinée et immersive, ou l'on a l'impression de voyager au Japon grace a une cuisine executee avec precision, des textures et des saveurs multiples par bouchée et des ingredients particulierement frais; le cadre intime, la salle ouverte et la presentation theatrale renforcent le sentiment d'authenticite et de contemplation culinaire. Le service est largement salue pour son professionalisme, sa chaleur et sa capacite a expliquer les plats et les origines des produits, avec une attention personnelle qui semble faire la difference lors de grandes occasions. Le choix des mets japonais traditionnels et des decouvertes moins connues est regulierement mis en avant, tout comme le respect des traditions et la maitrise technique du chef et de son equipe, ce qui justifie le prix eleve. Certains commentaires evoquent toutefois un tempo parfois rapide, un dessert qui ne suit pas tout a fait le reste et, sur certaines visites, une experience percue comme un peu froide ou un peu rythme par le spectacle des plats plutot qu'une intimite totale; le brunch omakase et les options de boisson ont suscite des avis mitiges, mais l'ensemble demeure largement considere comme l'un des meilleurs restaurants de sushi de Montreal et une occasion a ne pas manquer pour les epicuriens.
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.
It was an amazing place !! I felt so much warm from japanese culture & japanese people 🥰 the food was really delicious. It wasn't just a meal, it was a real experience. It's a small part of Japan here in Canada ! I highly recommend !

The dinner was excellent. The whole experience represents the finesse & sophistication of Japanese cuisine & service. Appreciated the details added to each service! Thank you!
I visited this restaurant for the first time yesterday. Everything was wonderful-the decorations, the food, & the attentiveness of the staff. Once the curtain rose & the music began, each beautifully presented dish was brought out one after another, & every bite was absolutely delicious! I already can't wait to eat there again.
Being able to experience a variety of Japanese foods made me feel as if I had actually traveled to Japan. On top of that, they even celebrated my birthday, making it a truly memorable day. This is definitely a restaurant I would love to visit again. Thank you to all the staff for such a happy & unforgettable time!
We visited as a family of three-my wife, my daughter, & myself. From the moment we entered, the server kindly guided us, & we immediately felt a genuine sense of hospitality. As the curtain rose & the dishes were presented alongside the music, everything felt exceptionally refined-it was such a wonderful experience that we almost forgot we were not in Japan.
We were truly happy to find that such outstanding Japanese cuisine can be enjoyed in Montreal. The server's detailed explanations of each dish & the chef's performance made the entire two-hour experience thoroughly enjoyable. We would definitely love to visit again. We are Japanese, & even from a Japanese perspective, this restaurant is highly recommended.
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 !

I'll give you the five star because to my experience was amazing. How were I'm not expert in this type of Japanese restaurant, but I definitely experienced new flavors. They were welcoming & generally, the service was exclusive.
A transcendent dining experience at Sushi Okeya Kyujiro
Dining at Sushi Okeya Kyujiro was nothing short of a revelation. The 25-course omakase unfolded like a meticulously choreographed performance - each dish a delicate balance of flavor, texture, & visual poetry. The artistry in the preparation was so captivating that I often found myself completely absorbed in the moment, forgetting to take photographs. In truth, it felt almost intrusive to interrupt the serene precision & reverence with which the chefs approached their craft.
Every plate was a miniature masterpiece - beautifully presented, perfectly timed, & imbued with a quiet sense of ceremony. The staff demonstrated an impeccable standard of professionalism: attentive yet unobtrusive, polished yet warm.
An unforgettable experience that lingers long after the final bite. If you appreciate the art of Japanese cuisine, this is an absolute must-visit. A dining experience I'll remember for a long time.
Some update. I've visited this place twice-once about two years ago & again last month. The meal was excellent both times, & it's clear the chef is highly skilled. However, I'm not sure I'd return unless it's on the company's dime. Having traveled to Japan many times & experienced a wide variety of authentic cuisine, I feel this restaurant is overpriced for what it offers. Unfortunately, it seems to be a common issue in Canada-getting exceptional Japanese food here often comes with a premium $$$

Went to Japanese several times. This restaurant is one of the authentic Japanese restaurant in Montreal. Went there some time ago & love it! Worth to go! おすすめ！
My partner & I wanted something luxurious & that's exactly what we got. The attention to detail was spectacular & the staff were polite, attentive, friendly, & dressed in traditional Japanese robes which made the whole place feel authentic. We loved that there was the 2023 Michelin star behind us & the bar was professional yet warm & homey to sit up on. We were seated directly in front of the owner & head chef who did an excellent job of providing a unique & theatrical experience. We loved the fish & dishes he held out for us to view before serving to us & the staff right behind our ears letting us know about the next dish we were about to eat. There were something like 20 courses but it felt like over 30 with many types of appetizers, nigiri, rice dishes, noodles & dessert to eat. I cannot rave enough about the quality of the ingredients & the craftsmanship of the food plated in front of me. I ate Japanese food I never expected to experience such as wagu beef, otoro tuna belly, salmon roe, fresh bonito shavings, uni, sweet raw shrimp, two types of unagi, & so many unique types of fish. It is definitely expensive but also definitely worth the visit if you can spare a few hundred dollars. We were excited for every single dish that came out to us & tried to savor every momemt, however fleeting. I wish I could eat like this every day. 100/10 would recommend.
Harmony between food, service, music & showmanship. This is a place you want to bring someone special for a special occasion (or you're just so rich you just don't care). This restaurant gives you a glimpse of how Japanese aim for perfection in everything. The reason why it gets a 5 is not being the best Japanese experience I ever had, but for 2h I forgot I was in Montreal & thought i was back in Japan. That is the true magic.

I am sorry but I have to say that I am not impressed with the food quality here. I am a food critic & vlogger & have been to many Japanese Omakase places in Hong Kong, Japan, Toronto & Vancouver. At this price point, Okeya's food presentation, culinary skills & quality are just not comparable to other 1 Star Omakase places in Canada. It is not even as good as some Omakase dinner in Toronto at $98/person. Sushi rice's taste & texture are very ordinary, sometimes it will fall apart when you pick up by hand, taste does not enhance the piece of fish on top neither. Fish quality is again very, very ordinary, lack of culinary treatments such as adding house made sauce, smoked, aged, tenderized which you get from other starred places. Also sushi size is the smallest I have ever had. One pc of sushi was added yuzu juice but I cannot taste the aromatic yuzu fragrance at all, not a fresh yuzu? I do not understand why this place gets such high ratings? Maybe the high rating is given to the waitresses wearing pretty Kimonos serving green tea... & the theater setup with curtains go up & down... alcohol selection is limited, they don't have a drink menu to view their selection & price. Service & atmosphere were great. At this price, Montrealers definitely deserve much better Omakase experience. I would say this place is overpriced. Vancouver's 1 Star Masayoshi is 100 times better but only $220 for dinner. Toronto's 1 Star Aburi Hana price is similar over $300 for dinner but again, 100 times better. & I totally agree to all other 1,2 & 3 stars ratings here in google review.
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!
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.
