Description

The Japanese restaurant Okeya Kyujiro operates in Montreal, Toronto, and Vancouver. The Montreal location is the first reservation-only Omakase restaurant. The Vancouver location is in downtown's Yaletown neighbourhood. The Vancouver Sun has said the restaurant offers a "solemn, opulent, theatrical omakase experience". [1]

Reception

The Vancouver restaurant has been awarded a Michelin star. [2] [3] [4] [5] It also received honourable mention in the Best New Restaurant category in Vancouver Magazine 's 2023 Restaurant Awards. [6] Noms Magazine has said, "As you enter the dimly lit dining room, the atmosphere echoes a blend of Cirque du Soleil grandeur and traditional kabuki. It's more than a meal; it's a celebration of art." [7]

In 2025, the Montreal location received a 'Recommended' designation in Quebec's inaugural Michelin Guide. Per the guide, a 'Recommended' selection "is the sign of a chef using quality ingredients that are well cooked; simply a good meal" and that the anonymous inspectors had found "the food to be above average, but not quite at [Michelin star] level." [8]
