Review Summary

Reviewers describe Sushi Okeya Kyujiro as an intimate, elegant omakase that transports guests toward Japan with a refined, understated setting. The courses are praised for pristine freshness, seasonal ingredients, and expert preparation, with many noting each plate feels like a small work of art. The service is highlighted as impeccable and attentive, with staff sharing knowledge and guiding guests through the tasting. The experience is described as immersive and theatrical, featuring close interaction with the chefs and a pace that flows between courses, though a few reviews note brisk moments. Pricing is generally cited as high, but the consensus is that the quality, atmosphere, and sense of traveling to Japan justify the cost. A few notes mention occasional shortcomings, such as a dessert not matching the rest or variability between lunch and dinner value. Overall, Sushi Okeya Kyujiro is regarded as a premier dining experience in town, especially for special occasions, memorable celebrations, and those seeking authentic Japanese cuisine.

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 !

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.

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.

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.

This is an amazing place to have a intimate & varied omakase experience. The food is great & quite abundant, you won't be hungry when you leave. The atmosphere & experience that comes with the tasting is the reason the price is a little hefty, but still worth it if you come to enjoy both the food & the interaction. Would recommend to anyone wanting to celebrate a special occasion!

Quelle expérience incroyable, comme être au Japon le temps d'un repas! Je recommande vivement le brunch omakase offert du vendredi au dimanche qui est à une fraction du prix du souper.

Nous avons testé ce restaurant pour l'anniversaire de mon mari. & nous ne pouvons que recommander. Nous avons vécu un moment hors du temps, une petite soirée au Japon. Tout était parfait, les plats étaient tous plus bons les uns que les autres, le service très soigné & j'ai apprécié la petite attention pour l'anniversaire de mon mari. Nous reviendrons assurément

Incredible experience from the setting to the amazing experience of watching the team work & the food be prepared. The food was unquestionably the best sushi experience in my life so tasty & fresh but also very complex in the Flavor & some surprised me so much. Highly recommend was amazing in everyway. I would add more photos but don't want to ruin the surprise although I'm sure they change there menu & even if u see it you will still be satisfied.

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.

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.

Une experience hors du commun. Nous y sommes allés pour l'anniversaire d'un proche & l'équipe a pris le temps de souligner cet anniversaire à la fin, sans que nous leur demandions quoi que ce soit. Plus de 20 services & tous d'une qualité supérieure. Des produits frais & succulents! Nous recommandons sans hésiter!

My husband & I traveled to Montreal for our honeymoon & had dinner at Okeya Kyujiro one night. It was an absolutely incredible experience. The food was the best we've ever had & watching the chefs prepare the food in front of you is spectacular. The service from the entire staff was top notch. We highly recommend this experience!
