| - I hesitate to write a review of this restaurant because I don't want too many people to eat here.
This is an unusual establishment and I've joked that I almost need to ask for another receipt so that I can claim it as a medical expense, as though restaurants like these are equal to Shiatsu massage and psychotherapy.
The establishment is small and contemporary. Japanese expats regularly sit at the bar toward the front while a mixed crowd quietly enjoys their dinner at the back of the restaurant. There are only 10 tables, and the staff is professional, courteous and extremely friendly and interested in ensuring that their customers enjoy their food.
The sake list is extensive, and can be quite expensive. Try one of their sparkling sakes.
I agree with the other reviews and won't add to their accurate depictions of what is on offer. In addition to the omikase, there are daily specials which are worth enquiring about. Yes, this is an expensive restaurant, but the difference in price is certainly worth it as you will not easily find a restaurant of this calibre anywhere else in Toronto. And yes, this place can be compared to Hashimoto's and Kaji's, but the chef is young, and the crowd is a more urbane, youthful, Japanese-expat kind of group that you won't necessarily see at Sushi Kaji.
