Very intimate meal - each chef's bar hosts about 8 people, with it being quieter on weeknights. You get to chat with the chefs as they cut, build, and serve sushi in front of you. Had a great time chatting with our chef, Taki, about ingredients, his favourite fish, and his career. Service was unobtrusive and easy-going. The dishes were pretty surprising and this is probably one of my favourite omakase experiences. A bit on the pricier side, but I'd definitely return.
Wow what an experience! Getting to watch each piece of sushi made right in front of you, so cool! All fish was fresh and well prepared! Loved the tea refills too as I am a tea addict!The scallop Donburi was also 10/10.Overall amazing experience and highly recommend to those who enjoy a more personal food experience!??
We’ve had the Bara Chirashi take out twice this month, and both times we’re very impressed. The ingredients were absolutely fresh, I have to mention their ikura is marinated right-on, perfect balance on the flavor and every piece would give me that “pop” when bitten into it. The only slight disappointment was the uni, but it doesn’t take away from the otherwise great meal. Other details of the take out are note worthy as well, the bag, box, chopsticks are custom designed and luxurious. We even saved the soy sauce containers for other uses and most importantly, the fresh wasabi is what we would normally expect while having high end omakase in Toronto. I was shocked to get that in a take out.We would love to visit later for lunch as the renovation looks very fancy. Dinner would be nice too, but it will be over our budget.(Update, visited on May 5th for lunch)Lunch omakase is a steal ($38), sushi still good, very comfortable seating, great service but there was something off about this meal. Maybe it’s the type of wood and stone selection for the sushi bar not coordinating with the dining ware, maybe because the rice was slightly too hard for my taste, maybe the dimness of the lighting, maybe over usage of yuzu zest while wasabi was absent (couldn’t taste it), or just a combination of it all so it is not leaving a perfect score on our cards.
While the food was delicious and nicely presented. ( we got the 4person dinner menu with whole fish). The price tag for a upnorth restaurant in the middle of a commetcial plaza is just close to crazy. With some sake tips and tax we spent $1600 for 4. It doesn't have the atmosphere for this price tagBut if you appreciate the amazing fish, the quality is very good.
Dinner for two, with taxes and tip we paid just over $600. Kitchen food was ok but the chef preparing the sushi in front of you was amazing. Fresh sushi and tasted great. Was rushed out once we received our dessert which did ruin the experience for us. Would recommend trying it once for the experience but won’t be returning.
It used to be one of our favourite sushi places uptown. However, they have recently really decreased in their quality and value.There is less and less fish and eel everytime we order ! The eel today was missing 1/3 of the original portion!And check out the packaging for those who Cares.
???????? ????? ??? $?? This is definitely one of the prettier omakase takeout boxes you can get in the GTA.The nigiri selection consists of the typical standard cuts of fish. The fish was of good quality, but none of the sushi flavourings particularly stood out. I didn't get that 'melt in your mouth' or 'head in the clouds' kinda feeling, but the takeout still hit the sushi craving My real complaint was that some sushi rice fell apart (which shouldn't happen if the rice was well pressed). However, I'll consider this the quality loss associated with takeout sushi.Overall, I think $60 is a decent value for what you're getting.
It was my first time ordering from ATO and the service was truly unacceptable. Ordered a day ahead since I knew New Year’s Eve would be busy, but I still had to wait for an hour at the restaurant upon pick up and still didn’t receive my food. Ended up canceling the order on the spot since the whole family was waiting at home. Not a great way to end 2021.Can’t judge the food since I never had a chance to taste it. Very disappointed.Word of advice, don’t take on too many orders when your restaurant can’t handle it!
Was here for the special bluefin tuna omakase. The fish was very good quality with fantastic texture and taste. Our sushi chef had over 38 years of experience and it shows. Would absolutely come back to try their other offeringsFor more great eats in the GTA and beyond, check out and follow me @instantonium on Instagram
Best bluefin fish Omakase in Toronto!Love the service and food!
