We've been to Yasu twice over the past year and this place is a consistent 5 *! IMO, Sushi Kaji still ranks #1 for an authentic omakase experience. But you really can't go wrong with Yasu's @ a mere $80 per person!
Zen Japanese Restaurant used to be our #2. But now that it has upgraded its location (to 7634 Woodbine Avenue in Markham) with upscale décor and higher prices, Yasu has definitely won us over!
2 seatings on Wed and Thu. 3 seatings from Fri to Sun. Closed Mon and Tue. Book early or be prepared to go on their waiting list. You'll only have 15 mins to respond to a wait list opening before it goes to somebody else.
Chef Yasu brings in fresh fish from all over the world! Returning from Hokkaido in July, I was craving for Japanese uni. We were so thrilled to see Hokkaido uni being part of their omakase menu here! Other sushi restos including Zen, Hiro and Sushi Bar Sushiya tend to serve B.C. uni. If you're as picky as me, you'll most likely prefer Hokkaido ones too - having more of a delicate texture and absolutely no after taste! So go now, before the season ends!
