Okeya Kyujiro suits a special-occasion omakase in Yaletown with one Michelin star in the 2026 guide, and dinner costs $335 a person before tax and gratuity for 25 or more courses. Every seating starts at a set time, and Michelin's inspector notes that the curtain opens on the minute.

The company behind Okeya Kyujiro lists its address in Kyoto, and it runs four other counters in Japan and eastern Canada. In Vancouver, costumed hosts lead guests into a dim room lit by candles. Part of the meal is sasagiri, which Michelin describes as the traditional art of carving bamboo leaves. The inspector names chawanmushi with crab, extra-crispy lobster tempura, pressed mackerel nigiri and a grilled unagi skewer among the highlights.
Dinner runs Wednesday to Sunday with seatings at 5:45 pm and 8:15 pm. At weekends a lunch omakase of 15 or more courses sits down at 12:15 pm for $180. On some Saturdays the counter runs an ochakase at 2 pm instead, and that menu pairs 12 or more sweet and savoury courses with five premium Japanese teas for $180.
