A must go whenever I’m in Jasper - I don’t even understand how the fish is so fresh here. Advanced reservation is a must, there’s only seating for 10 per seating/time. Oka special roll, negitoro, and octopus salad are a must. Amazing experience and food.

The best sushi we’ve ever had! We got lucky and got a table as walk ins and it turned out to be the best part of our Jasper trip. The sushi was so fresh and delicious, it was also a joy watching chef Oka make them. We look forward to visiting again soon! We suggest to book a table ahead of time.

My wife and I have been blessed to have enjoyed sushi and sashimi from around the world. Our authentic neighborhood sushi bar in Columbia, South Carolina, Inakaya Watanabe has always set the bar when we travel. Only Seiji’s Sushi in Kona Hawaii and Oka Sushi in Jasper, Alberta Canada has met the bar set by Ryo and Inakaya Watanabe Sushi.
If you find yourself in Jasper and you’re lucky enough to get a chair in this ten person restaurant… I believe you will agree. It is awesome ? ?
Book early and tell Mr Oka and his amazing assistant.. I believe it’s Sarah.. Kim and I said “Hi” ?
This is an interesting spot… I am not 100% sure why it’s so hard to get a reservation! I think maybe the locals book this place right up but thankfully we got lucky when we went as a reservation had canceled last minute. I understand now that the reason you can’t just walk in normally is because one seating lasts around 3 hours! Sort of a chill and intimate experience - one cool sushi chef, 8 bar seats - everyone just takes turns getting their rolls, drinking beer and getting to know one another at a leisurely pace. It was very unique and fun although I wouldn’t say the sushi itself was spectacular or anything… it was delicious! But I have had better sushi in Canada (nothing to do with fish quality, which was good, but more so rice/nori quality). The tastiest thing was definitely the spicy sauce which was his own special recipe. Overall I think it’s worth going at least once as we had a lovely time and left happy and full :)

My girlfriend took me out to this hidden gem last week for my birthday and I am still awed with how amazing the food here was.I've been to Vancouver and Japan for some great sushi and I can confidently say that Oka Sushi is the best authentic sushi restaurant in all of Alberta. It's a hidden gem that doesn't get enough credit for how amazing it is. The owner, Mr. Oka, has been running his shop for over 25 years and you can truly feel that he has dedicated his life to making fantastic authentic Japanese cuisine.The salmon sashimi, tuna belly sashimi, octopus salad, spicy chop chop, and oka special were something that I could eat every day for every single meal. Many establishments in Edmonton, Banff, and Calgary charge a fortune for sushi that's half as good as this place. The atmosphere is unassuming and it feels like you're in Mr. Oka's home and he's making dinner for you personally. Make sure you reserve ahead of time because this place has a few seats and books up pretty quickly and far in advance! See you soon Mr. Oka!

The best sushi experience of my life. Although Oka Sushi seating is limited and books up very fast (recommend calling to book as far in advance as possible) if you love sushi, Oka's is most definitely worth the wait. The preparation of the meals takes place directly in front of the customer in a cheerful atmosphere. Oka was telling jokes and singing and making it quite a pleasure. It's such renowned sushi, that television chefs dine there as well as well as other celebrities. I had the privilege of indulging in dinner while famous TV chefs Anna & Michael Olson were there.

If you are looking for a personal touch and want to eat authentic sushi (hand rolls), then you must try this place. Inside the Fairmont Jasper resort, tucked in a corner by the Fairmont store, this unassuming place serves the best sushi rolls. This place is small, very small; just 10 seats. 8 of them by the Sushi bar and you can see how Oka-san makes the sushi. Don't expect to be served in a hurry, because Oka-san does not rush. Enjoy the evening and order as you like. Take your time, have a conversation.
