You will feel you are in Japan. The attention to detail and quality of the food is remarkable. It's a performance as much as it's dinner. Really special.

Wonderful experience for our birthday lunch and definitely some of the best sushi we ever had! We also appreciated the addition of soup, noodles, and chawanmushi.

Amazing experience. The "show" is truly magical. To see each person working independently, yet supporting one another in a calm, effecient manner was inspiring. The food was fabulous and ambiance was lovely. The hostesses were so nice and professional. Every single course was well explained, so you knew exactly what you were about to try.

This is a perfect omakase spot for a special occasion with your partner. Reservations are hard to get, so be sure to book well in advance 🤗. From the very beginning, when the chefs come out to greet you, you feel genuinely welcomed and taken care of. Each dish is crafted with care and bursting with freshness. I highly recommend experiencing this place at least once—it’s truly unforgettable

It’s not just about the food. It’s also a show that lasts around two hours. The staff are highly professional, and the atmosphere felt very pleasant. The live cooking and explanations in front of the audience were a real highlight.

Some of the appetizers weren’t to my taste, but the sushi and meat were excellent. As for the ambience, the chair and table heights didn’t quite match, though that’s just a minor detail. Overall, I can definitely recommend the experience!

This is hands down the best sushi I’ve had. The service was perfect and the ambiance was nice. The head chef and staff was very professional and skilled.

They even played some studio ghibli soundtrack throughout the experience. Will be back

Dining at Okeya Kyujiro is an exceptional experience from start to finish. The service is professional, attentive, and genuinely warm, making every guest feel welcome.

Each course in the omakase menu was nothing short of heavenly, perfectly balanced in flavor, beautifully presented, and crafted with extraordinary care. The pacing of the meal, the subtle details in every dish, and the overall artistry make it a truly memorable dining experience.

I would wholeheartedly recommend Okeya Kyujiro to anyone looking for an unforgettable evening of impeccable food and outstanding hospitality.

We visit this Michelin 1 star restaurant for their 15-course omakase lunch set at $180 per person. We were greeted at the store front and seated for our 12:15pm booking. Total 10 guests today. Looks like 4 more guests can be served for the maximum seating. The server came by when the course is served to explain each item.

The appetizers have three dishes. The tempura is freshly made and hot. The cooked fish tastes a bit fishy to my likely. The chawanmushi is lukewarm which I wish to be hotter. It then follows by 8 nigiri sushi with brown rice - really like the texture and (small) portion of rice with each nigiri. Fresh ingredients. I asked for low sodium option however the first few nigiri is a bit too salty and I have notified the server so the chef can adjust immediately. I enjoy the Hokkaido uni nigiri the last smoked fish nigiri the most. The fresh crab and salmon roe rice and beef soba noodles at the end have a nice touch of finesse.

There are a number of birthday celebrations and they asked for names to acknowledge and celebrate the birthdays. A little musical piano “performance” for the happy birthday song. Matcha green tea is served at the end to wrap up the omakase.

Overall an enjoyable experience but not necessarily impressive as a Michelin 1 star restaurant. At this price point it’s worth a try however not likely regular visit.
