  • A good spot but not worth the hype or price. TLDR: about as good as you get in Toronto but coming up short with delivery. Close however. Warning, sushi is my jam so I talk out of my ass. Jiro dreams of sushi. I dream of jiro. Taste: a step above standard but also a step below amazing. I am comparing jabistro to "amazing" places on the west coast and in Japan, which may sound a little douchbaggy but I went in with the expectation that this is one of the best spots in Toronto. In that way I am respecting it. I usually test places with their squid and mackerel (and miso) because those are two things that can taste horrible if old or incorrectly prepared. They were up to par but not great. I also tried their ala cart shrimp and prawn, which were sweet and satisfying, but a little pasty and left a little bit of a chalky aftertaste. Everything else in the meal was similar. Good but not great. The main thing I got from the experience is that everything in their control was done well. The torching didn't have a gas aftertaste. The rice was perfect. The grilled fish was actually beyond amazing. In fact the rice and grilled dish are why this place gets a 4 instead of a 3. The thing out of their control, the fish supply, is what separates this place from some of the best I had. Things just didn't taste as fresh and delicate. Atmosphere: a little bright. Great staff. Place is awkwardly thin but that's a toronto real estate problem. Clean as f (Very important) and no bad smells. Transportation. Take the subway or an uber. Super easy. Parking.... well downtown parking. Value: my bill was a little over 300 bucks for 2 people with 2 5-course meals, tip, some wine, and a couple extra pieces. Didn't break the bank but I probably won't be back until after I've tried all the other spots in Toronto. Who knows, this place may be the best. Maybe I just don't know it yet. Extra: the Hokkaido scallops were probably the best raw dish
