Amazing place, hidden in the lower level of the main building of JPL, you’ll find the best sushi in Alberta outside of Edmonton and Calgary. Mr. Oka is a master sushi chef and makes delicious, fresh sushi rolls, sashimi, hand rolls, you name it. It’s funny because the fish tastes very fresh yet you are nowhere where the ocean - he ships in seafood from Vancouver weekly. Currently they are doing reservations between 6 and 6:30 PM but walk-ins after that until 9:30 PM. There are only around 10 seats so if it’s full when you walk-in, keep trying!
it was late, it was tired, it was cold. get to Jasper lake lodge, there was this small Oka Sushi downstairs.
it is clean, it is warm and it is friendly. the plate is fresh, the chef is very clean and authentic. worth to try.
Mr.Oka treated us with kindness and warmth into an amazing atmosphere! It is definitely the freshest fish I have ever had in my whole life! The price is more then reasonable. You get an amazing one on one experience from Mr.Oka with high energy and skill. You can find this hidden gem under the Fairmont hotel! MUST VISIT
This place is a hidden secret! Very intimate, 10 person seating eatery. My wife and I were fortunate enough to come in on our only night staying at the Fairmont. We walked in at last seating (9:15pm). Prices were not outrageous compared to the other hotel restaurants. But that doesn’t mean the quality was sacrificed. This is a slow, relaxed and delicious place to eat. Make reservations weeks, if not months in advance. The chef, Oka, makes great conversation and adds to the ambience. You will not be disappointed!
Mr. Oka is the hidden gem in the Jasper Park Lodge. His food is outstanding. The prices are very reasonable and he is always a kind soul to talk to. He has been doing take out due to COVID19, so I miss having a glass of Sake with him. The restaurant is very small and cozy and I can't wait to visit again.
Is it Michelin Star Quality....no
Is it edomae style omakase....no
But is it pretty good sushi considering your in a land locked resort 3 hours away from anything that you can call a "'big city"....hell yes!
Oka sushi exceeded our expectations in many ways.
His fish quality is good, his portion sizes are generous and his pricing is more than reasonable.... especially considering if it's located inside a resort hotel.
I especially like his Albacore Tuna Toro (no it's not as good as O-toro or Chu-toro from a blue fin) it's very fatty and full of flavor.
His Amaebi and Hotate were both super fresh and very sweet.
His chopped scallop Nigiri is great as he cuts up full scallops on front of you and mixes it with Japanese mayo and tobiko, rather than premade stuff.
Loved this. Definitely recommend it for great sushi, all the regulars plus some unique items. Lively staff and centrally located .
I’m from the coast and this is the BEST SUSHI EVER!!! Oka is an incredible chef straight out of Japan 🔥🔥🔥
