Sushi Okeya Kyujiro was an incredible experience. The moment we stepped in, it was as if we were in Japan. The staff were amazing throughout the entire evening. I felt well taken care of. They had extensive knowledge about the omakase chefs & the dishes they served. The food I was served that evening was out of this world. Every bite was created with such care, & I found myself feeling so grateful to be able to experience so many different foods & textures after every service. It was so good that I felt like I could no longer eat box sushi anymore. Overall, I will 100% visit again. I'm excited about the next experience they have in store.View more

Truly one of the most special meals I have ever had the experience of enjoying. My career has been dedicated food service & hospitality & everyone can take notes from this establishment. From the initial greet & seat, ambiance, show, food presentation, chef preparation & execution, EVERYTHING flawless. They are very thorough in detail on everything. When you make reservations online they let you know the rules. When you enter the building they reiterate. When you're seated it's your final reminder all while being extremely pleasant & warm. If one piece of fish is slightly different from the other chef modifies preparation to ensure taste is identical. I noticed one small slip with a kitchen utensil but it was immediately corrected & they never missed a beat working as a team of three chefs. This place is not just a meal but a life changing experience. Make a reservation for a special occasion. Thank you team Okeya Kyujiro 🙏View more

If you're mentally prepared to spend the money on this experience it will blow you away. Every single thing we put in our mouths was extraordinary. I've been to Japan & eaten sushi in countries all over the world but this will permanently stand out. Alcohol selection could be improved but everything from the service to the ambiance to the quality & care they show each guest...unparalleled & a real gem of Montreal. Cannot recommend enough for a special occasion.View more

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.View more

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.View more

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.View more

Extremely high quality food with commensurate service. This wasn't a lunch, this was an artistic performance in both the culinary & the theatrical arts. My compliments in particular to the servers who were always ready to render assistance, answer questions & whose flawless execution of the wonderfully intricate tea ceremony left me awestruck. I wish I could give more than 5 stars.View more

When looking for a "special" restaurant to take my husband out for his 50th birthday, Okeya immediately came to mind. I have known about this restaurant since it opened, but wanted to wait for the perfect occasion to try considering the cost. It was completely worth it if you want a unique experience coupled with delicious food made with high quality ingredients mostly flown in from Japan. We were lucky to have been seated right in front of chef-owner Takuya Matsuda & have an amazing view of his mastery. Every dish was carefully thought through & presented. Highly recommended for a special occasion - which is the reason most of the guests that ate with us that evening came for.View more
