| - Yasu Sushi Bar was on BlogTO's top 10 new sushi restaurants in Toronto; it didn't make the 'Best japanese restaurants in Toronto' list, but I can safely say that it's a must-try. Right in the heart of Toronto, Yasu is a solid choice for an omakase sushi experience.
The storefront is small and unsuspecting, and the interior clean and bright, but very small. Each sitting hosts around 15 people, so it would be an understatement to say that Yasu takes their timing very seriously. When we arrived, we were told to wait over in the corner by the door and the coat rack, for our seating. There was no one sitting in our seats, but no matter, it was simply "please wait over there".
Luckily, that is where my gripes end. Once we were seated, the service was great, and the fish was fresh. What more can you ask for? The chef takes care to explain what you are trying with each service. Attentively, he asks if the rice and wasabi portions are to your liking, and brushes soy sauce on each piece as appropriate.
We doubled down on the toro at the end, and he took a blowtorch to our second piece. Nothing much to say but an amazing way to end the meal.
