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 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.
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.

We came for a 6:00 pm reservation to celebrate a birthday. We were asked to arrive 15 minutes early, & while driving we tried calling the restaurant several times to confirm arriving closer to 6:00 pm, but the phone always went to voicemail.
While the concept is interesting, the execution did not feel consistent with the price point ($335 per person before drinks). All guests were seated before the blinds opened, & at 8:00 pm the blinds were closed, the lights were turned off, & we were asked to leave even though we were still finishing our drinks. That abrupt ending made the evening feel rushed rather than celebratory.
The chef & sous-chef served the dishes but only named them, while all explanations were given by a separate staff member walking from couple to couple. This may be due to language limitations, but it still broke the intimacy expected from a counter-style omakase & made it feel more like a narrated show than a personal dining experience.
For birthdays, everyone received the same candle & dessert at the same time, which made what should have been a personal moment feel more like a production line than a special occasion.
There were also atmosphere issues, including noticeable HVAC noise that had to be turned on & off during service, as well as glassware & decor that did not feel aligned with a high-end tasting menu at this price.
My partner enjoyed the evening, but for a special occasion at this cost, we expected a more refined, calm, & personal experience. The idea is good, but the execution & value simply did not match what is being charged.
Why 2★
Food quality: ★★★☆☆
Good fish & competent execution, but no memorable or'wow' moments for a $335 tasting.
Service & intimacy: ★★☆☆☆
The chef & sous-chef only named the dishes, while all explanations were given by a roaming staff member. This may be due to language limitations, but it still broke the intimacy expected from a counter-style omakase.
Atmosphere: ★★☆☆☆
Noticeable HVAC noise that had to be turned on & off during service, plus glassware & decor that did not feel consistent with a high-end tasting menu.
Pacing & hospitality: ★☆☆☆☆
Rigid timing, unanswered phone calls before arrival, & an abrupt ending at 8 pm even while guests were still finishing drinks.
Value for money: ★☆☆☆☆
At $335 per person before drinks, this price point competes with Montréal's top fine-dining & omakase counters, where guests expect silence, premium glassware, no rushing, direct chef interaction, & a calm, personal experience. Instead, we experienced loud HVAC cycling, average glassware, production-line pacing, a roaming narrator instead of chef-to-guest explanation, & a forced end at 8 pm. Even though some of the food was good, the overall experience did not come close to what this price level normally buys.

Top experience! You get to eat so many products from Japan in one place. Lots of fish & sushi. It's pricy like 500$ a person with taxes & tip but I think it's worth it. We had an amazing time.
Wonderful experience for my family. The staff is amazing & took time to explain each dish. We have been to Japan but did not know the origin of most of the items. They brought out a suitcase of gifts for my kids as an added bonus & the choices were too cute to choose. I highly recommend for a special evening.
I had the privilege of dining here earlier this month, & the food, sake, & service was fantastic. We were offered detailed information before each service about what we were about to enjoy, & enjoy it we did! Amazing ambiance for a special occasion.
Update 2026-01-19 Deuxième visite aujourd'hui & mon expérience est tout aussi belle. J'ai vraiment apprécié l'attention portée & la qualité des plats.
J'ai eu une très belle expérience chez Okeya. Vous devez d'abord confirmer votre réservation à la porte & ensuite vous entrez dans la salle (il y en a juste une) où tout le monde s'assoit autour de la cuisine ouverte. Vous avez le choix de boissons alcoolisées ou non, mais j'ai choisi de boire du thé chaud à cause du temps froid. Lorsque tout le monde est assis, les rideaux se lèvent & vous assistez à de l'art culinaire. J'ai pu goûter à 24 services différentes : les textures & les saveurs sont variées & c'est une expérience que je n'oublierais pas aussitôt. Les poissons étaient très frais & le boeuf wagyu fondait dans la bouche. Le rythme du souper était adéquat, les plats se succédaient sans avoir de longue pause, donc c'était agréable à manger. La soirée se termine avec une cérémonie de thé : très authentique comme expérience. Je le recommande si vous avez les moyens puisque c'est quand même 220$ par personne & notez que le menu change à tous les soirs selon les produits disponibles au marché.
