We celebrated our first wedding anniversary here with our dear friend & had an unforgettable experience. The hospitality was exceptional, the service was seamless, & the attention to detail was impeccable. Each course was beautifully prepared, & the flavors made us feel as though we were dining in Japan. The entire experience was remarkable, & we look forward to visiting again.

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.

Just got back from Osaka, Japan, I felt like if I was still in vacation, best Japanese experience, best sushi I ever had in Canada !

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.

Truly stunning meal that's one of a kind! The sushi is the highest of quality, the service was outstanding, & everything was just amazing. It's very true to what omakase in Japan is like & they go above & beyond with the menu here. There were some bites that made me emotional. It's definitely a special occasion restaurant & everyone there was celebrating a birthday or anniversary, but if I had my way (or the funds) I would celebrate all my birthdays there!
disclaimer: my meal was comped

This may very well been the best meal I've ever eaten in my entire life !! Yes this is a pricey restaurant, but it is worth every penny. It is s 20-course feast with each dish more delicious than the preceding one. You will feel like you are travelling to Japan

An incredible one-of-a-kind experience, this place makes you travel to Japan. What an amazing experience!
Elaine
The closest thing to Japan you can get here!
Everything was exceptionally good & balanced.
Umami fest!

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！

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.

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.

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.
