Had an amazing omakase at Edomae Kiyomi with my family. The fish was incredibly fresh and each piece was thoughtfully prepared, simple but precise. Chef Kevin is very professional and funny, which made the whole experience even more enjoyable. His skill and attention to detail really show in every bite. The pacing felt just right, and the atmosphere is intimate and calm. Definitely a spot I'd come back to. read more

Reserved the Tempura Omakase earlier this month and it was a stand-out experience. The interior is Japanese minimalistic. There was only one other party there for the sushi omakase, and as the only group participating in the tempura one (in a separate area/counter from the sushi), they remarked that it was essentially a private party! The chef was animated throughout and explained all the ingredients of our meal in detail, from where each originated from (all fish and even the garnishes came imported from different areas in Japan), while making jokes and engaging with us. We started off with the Kuruma Ebi, a giant prawn with a fried crunchy spider made of the prawn head. We had a dish of three flavoured salts and the chef would recommend what to dip each piece into. Next was the wagyu wrapped in a shiso leaf, which was one of the top three courses for me. The wagyu was cut into pieces and was so juicy it melted in your melt. Paired with the matcha salt, I didn't want it to end. Then we had a fried whole fish dipped in mushroom salt. The hokkaido scallop was served with yuzu zest on top, which really elevated the sweetness and freshness of the seafood. Then we had my favourite of the night - a mountain of uni topping a shiso leaf! He kept adding more to it and instructed us to eat it in one bite - the most decadent and heavenly thing ever! The vegetable tempura dishes were also very good, with the stand-out being the mushroom with its concentrated aroma in such a small bite (Chef Saito mentioned it costs $90+ per lb). The abalone was also good and served on the shell. Finally, we had the fried mini crab (like a crunchy chip), and sakura shrimp chasuke in a fish bone broth (so much umami and felt like a warm hug). Throughout the meal, the waitress would refill my tea and collect our abalone shells. We ended off the meal with dessert (blueberry ice cream for my friends, a homemade matcha tofu cheesecake for me). I would 100% return to try their sushi omakase now! read more

Been here a few times now and can safely say that they've stayed consistent and reliable. Initially $55 for a 10 course lunch omakase a few years ago, not only has the price and quality stayed the same but today we walked by and saw the lunch omakase is now $48. Note the photos are a mix of multiple omakase lunches. Today we had yellowtail, scallop, sea bream, snowcrab, bonito, squid with uni, bluefin tuna (lean), handroll, and tamago for 8 pieces of sushi and 1 handroll. We also had a miso soup as one course. I think this is a great experience for someone looking for a more accessible omakase option. I wish they would have an option with more courses and of course a higher price point for days when you feel like a longer meal. I usually consider it a light lunch. The two chefs are always willing to talk more about the fish and the menu. There is one server who is the hostest as well. There are just about 10 seats. Interior is simple and calm. We will be back! read more

Personally, I enjoy a small mound of rice wrapped in fresh fish, dipped in just a touch of sauce; it really allows the natural essence of the ingredients to shine through. The sauce serves to counterbalance the inherent coolness of the raw fish--though I imagine that might be something most people aren't quite accustomed to. All in all, the overall experience was pretty decent. read more

Finally tried this affordable omakase on my restaurant list! The experience and service here were amazing. Sushi was fresh and delicious. I like how they offered soy sauce in the side in case we would like to add more. It was lunch omakase and the 9 pieces + miso were a good portion. The restaurant was spacious and cute! I like the outdoor lighting shining through the curtain. read more

I've never been to an omakase before, so I didn't have much to compare this to, but I really enjoyed the experience overall. We came here to celebrate my mom's birthday and opted for their 10-course sushi lunch, which is a very reasonable $55 per person. They ask that you make a reservation in advance, which we did. We arrived a few minutes before noon and had to wait in a hot alcove outside, which wasn't the best start. But once we got inside, the interior was clean, modern, and comfortable. There were only two parties during our lunch seating, including us, so it felt very calm and intimate. The food itself was great. All the fish tasted super fresh, and we really appreciated that the chef explained what each item was as it was served. The service was also friendly and attentive without being overbearing. At the end of the meal, they asked if we'd like a second serving of anything. Normally, hand rolls aren't our thing, but the toro hand roll was so good that we all wanted another round. Unfortunately, they had run out by that point, which was a bummer. A really nice surprise was that they brought out a small individual cake for my mom, which was such a thoughtful touch. If you're looking for a relatively affordable omakase experience in Toronto, or just want to try omakase for the first time, I'd definitely recommend giving Edomae Kiyomi a shot. It's a great way to celebrate a special occasion without breaking the bank, and I'd happily come back to do it again. read more

I tried their tempera omakase. Food was mediocre and it had minimal plating - not worth the price at all. The chef was not friendly and it ruined the experience for our birthday celebration. Waitress was nice and attentive though read more

Overall an amazing Omakase experience! Took my partner here for his birthday and it definitely delivered. We did the sushi omakase and right when we arrived, we were welcomed with amazing service right when we walked in. We were seated and given the set menu for the night. The menu is different everyday depending on what is fresh and imported for the week. Owner said that they get their ingredients imported everyday when there's a lot of business but every 3-4 days during off-peak season. There were only 6-7 people at the restaurant when we had dinner so the service was fantastic and very personable. It felt like we were invited for a private tasting or something like that with the chef and owner having nice conversation about the dishes and their experiences. The sushi itself was fresh and great! We got to try many different fish that we would've never gotten to try if it wasn't for this experience. The most enjoyable part is seeing them prepare it in front of you as you're seating right in front of the chefs. The host went beyond making my partner feeling special by adding a candle on his dessert and offering paper cranes for Goodluck and even an extra sushi just for him. Really appreciated that! The quality and dishes were amazing! One thing I will say is that we came from a recent Japan trip so nothing was "mind blowing" but that's a special circumstance so I cannot compare or dock marks off. It definitely would've been different if we had not experienced this in Japan. Overall an amazing experience from food to service and to attentiveness throughout the night. Truly a great Toronto business to support, and will definitely be back to try the Tempura Omakase next time. Hope they continue to offer the 30% cash discount. Also another note is 15% gratuity is automatically added to your bill. Not an issue for us but something to note! Of course, you can add to it if you have the means for their great service! Our bill came around to $350 with cash discount for 2 omakase, 2 glasses of sake, and tea! read more

If you are looking to try a different experience for dining, look no further than this place! Their lunch omakase experience is $55/10 courses. You can't get a better deal than that in the city! The price has increased over the past year, based on prior reviews, but I still think it's a good deal. It's a small place so I understand. Located conveniently on Yonge/Gerrard St, this small restaurant offers impeccable service and fresh and delicious sushi. Only seating is at the bar (I believe in the summer they may have a small patio open), where you can watch the chef prepare each piece of sushi for you. A great experience, with lovely service. They do add auto gratuity to the bill (but we were advised accordingly prior to paying). They do also offer a dinner omakase but of course that's more expensive (but also more courses). Definitely try out the lunch experience! read more

We came here for the lunch omakase and had a great meal! The lunch consists of 10 courses including miso soup. For $55 it might just be the best omakase deal in the city. The location is conveniently located right near church and gerrard. The ambiance is gorgeous, and all the seats are at the bar where you can watch the chefs prepare each piece. We had 7 sushi pieces, one handroll, and one tamago. I really enjoyed the bass, scallop, and the squid with uni! I was also surprised with how much I enjoyed the tamago which was soft fluffy and had a touch of sweetness. Service was great, attentive and refilled drinks regularly. I want to try out the dinner omakase sometime but will definitely be back for the lunch! read more

Highly recommended omakase spot for all occasions! All the spots were booked up on OpenTable, however the team was able to squeeze me in via a request on social media (Instagram). They have an extensive list of sakes to chose from, however I am not a fan of alcohol so I a cup of their green tea. I loved how attentive they were, my tea was constantly through out my meal (worth the 5$). Note: There is an automatic 15% tip on the bill, but they deserve it! read more

OVERALL: Wonderful omakase experience in the city. Definitely recommend it if you're looking for premium sushi omakase in Toronto. We'll be back to try the tempura omakase experience which is one of a kind. VENUE: Came in on a Friday evening with a 7pm reservations. The restaurant is nicely designed for a premium experience. We loved the design of the back wooden wall. Street parking was available across the street, directly infront of the restaurant. FOOD: We opted for the sushi omakase experience but will definitely be back to try the tempura omakase. The sushi course had 21 items which is a lot. It started with an excellent sashimi appetizer and was followed by a great selection of sushi pieces. We sat facing sushi chef Katsumi who was great at explaining each sushi piece to us along with some of the history and nuance with his style of sushi, including the Edomae specialty of preparing the fish. The stand-out pieces for me were the squid in the sashimi appetizer, mackeral (cooked), scallop, toro (there were two), the chef handroll. I also ordered a sake flight (3) to go along with my meal. The sake was an top notch selection and each one was different that went nicely with my food. SERVICE: The nuance of an omakase restaurant is the service experience is both from the server and the sushi chef which I've touched on above. Our server was excellent. She was kind and offered to check our coats. When we sat down, she explained to us the omakase course ahead and offered us a drink menu with recommendations. She was attentive and checked up on us quite regularly including removing plates that came with some courses and refilling water etc. VALUE: The premium omakase experience is pricey but it's at the expected price point that is comparable with competitors in the city. For the price, you expect high quality food, drinks and excellent service and it was all delivered. read more

I haven't write the review for a long time (lazy....) but, I really need to recommend this Japanese Cuisine for everyone because I don't understand they didn't have many customers BUT their food was extremely yummy. Everything fresh, also you can taste at least 3 favors in every single bite of their sushi. So crazy surprise for us. Owner is nice and the chef just came from Japan for a year. Before Sep 30, 2024, you can also entitled to have 30% discount if you paid by cash, do...around $100 for theory sushi Omakase. I am not paid by them LOL, but, I strongly recommend this restaurant to everyone. read more

Went here for the $48 lunch omakase special which consists of around 10 pieces of sushi. For our seating, it was around an hour and there were items such as scallop, snow crab, squid + unagi, yellowtail, bluefin tuna, a handroll, etc. For dessert, there was a folded egg dish. Pros: + Good selection of different and seasonal sushi. + Cheap for omakase - $48. + Ordered the tea and there were constant refills. + Vibes inside are nice. Place is clean. Cons: - Wasn't really a fan of the squid+unagi and the bluefin tuna. Tuna was extremely fishy and had the skin on it. - Drinks are expensive. - Guy serving me didn't talk too much but I didn't mind that. Note there's an automatic 15% gratuity added to the bill. read more

Came here for the tempura omakase. Food and service were both excellent. The chef showed us each food item and told us the origins. He also recommended the best way to taste them. Thumbs up for the chef. Food was very fresh. The tempura batter was thin and crunchy. You don't see oil left on the paper underneath. My personal favour was uni on top of a leaf tempura and garnished with edible flowers on top. The presentation was like an art piece. Chef recommended to eat it in one bite. The uni melted in your mouth and the tempura leaf added in a bit of crunchiness. It was amazing. Service was excellent. I wanted to try tempura egg and the chef made 2 kinds for me to try. It was an awesome dining experience. A bit pricey but it was worth it. read more

This is a great place and I'll tell you why: it's an approachable and affordable and unpretentious omakase place. We've been to them all in toronto and they're all very reaching , spending lots of money on location (rent), expensive leasehold renovations, and so on. Which of course gets passed on to the restaurant guest. This place is nice and clean but not over done, the money is in the ingredients and so they don't have to charge a mint. To me, it's a good step above a la carte sushi anywhere but way less expensive and formal (and stuffy) than the other omakase places. simpy put it's a place that people that know their sushi will go who want decent value and not too much form over function. So we'll go to the other style splurge place once a year or so, but will come here monthly read more

Came here a while back for my birthday and had mixed thoughts about the meal. It wasn't the best omakase I've had but the ingredients tasted fresh and were of good quality. When I went, it was a 17-item menu and the variety was pretty standard. You definitely expect traditional cuts and courses when it comes to omakase but there was nothing creative about their menu that wow'ed me in the slightest. My main issue was their lack of attention to detail. My boyfriend and I each found a large fish scale in different pieces of nigiri. For an omakase at their price point, this is a major oversight that should not be acceptable. read more

With all my respect, this place is a scam! With 2 phone calls to confirm my reservation, no one told me that the 30% off promo only applies to cash. Even not on their website where we spotted in the first place. We were rudely forced to get our cash with a 5 mins walk outside without any explanation either apology. The owner who was present didn't show any understanding of his own mistake but rather chose to be indifferent! I can't stop to wonder if there is any bureau that I can report this shameless scam for stopping more people to be the victim. Please be careful to ask before you choose to dine here! read more

Came here to try the tempura omakase because i have never heard of it with my gf and surprisingly it was quite good. In addition it doesn't leave you unsatisfied as there are seafood and veggie pieces that fill you rather than sushi omakase. Ambiance was pretty nice though a little dim. The chef was funny and told us about each individual ingredient. Overall a good experience. read more

TLDR: 1.5 stars for dishonest practices. Advertised 10 pieces only serves 7. Came here for their lunch omakase after seeing it on social media and hearing from friends. I brought my parents to celebrate my mom's birthday - so it was a special occasion. I'll start by saying this is not an establishment that I would recommend to anyone. The service was pretty good, exactly what you would expect from an omakase sushi restaurant in this price range. It was attentive and polite. The restaurant appeared to be neat and clean, consistent with most Japanese omakase restaurants. The fish used in the omakase were fresh. However the rice and use of wasabi lacked consistency. The lack of consistency was not related to fattiness or type of fish as one would expect. What really destroyed the experience for me was the shady actions of the restaurant as a proprietor. Firstly, reservation was booked a couple of months in advance for lunch that was advertised to be $45 pp. A couple of days before the reservation, they called to confirm and said price had increased to $55 pp. Fine - understandable given inflationary environment, but 22% inflation over 2 months is hardly reasonable. Day of lunch, we were served 7 pieces of sushi, 1 hand roll, 1 tamago omelet and 1 miso soup per person. I inquired that we should have been served 10 pieces of sushi based on their website advertisement. And they acted confused and rebutted by saying it's 10 course lunch not 10 pieces of sushi (they tried to say miso soup was counted as a piece of sushi). I pulled up their website and pointed to the clear wording. They said it was a mistake and should be 10 courses not pieces. It is clear that they not only increased the price but also decreased the serving - inflation and shrinkflation all at once. The lack of transparency and the dishonest business practices of this place is the reason I would not recommend this restaurant to anyone. I don't mind payment for goods and services when the seller has been transparent and upfront about what I would be getting. But it is not acceptable to defraud your customers. Oh and bonus - they automatically added at 15% gratuity to the bill despite the aforementioned. read more

Always on the lookout for sushi omakase, I stumbled upon a tip left by a Yelp friend (u know who u are). I quickly booked to get in on their soft opening promotion. We thoroughly enjoyed our dinner! The sashimi and sushi were all so good! No salmon nonsense here! Chutoro, otoro, uni, ankimo, shirako, etc. It's $120 a person. Definitely a splurge. So worth it though! read more

So we had both the sushi and tempura omakase. Three stars for sushi and one star or less for tempura. Everyone got a sashimi starter, which was good but somehow watery. The fish freshness for the entire dinner was ok but temperature control was not done and everything in general was too cold. The fish selection was ok- very standard. Nothing out of the ordinary and nothing interesting. Flounder, maguro... amberjack was the most interesting. Rice was not usual either- sort of was confused by it to be honest. But was okay. The sushi chef gave my bf a bonus sushi because he was having the tempura, and there was a lot of wait time for him. That was really nice. He was very quiet otherwise and I couldn't understand his flow of work. I am going to echo what other people have said about the tempura (lived in Japan for 2 years). It's not what tempura should be. The worst part is when he showed the beautiful maitake mushroom to everyone only to ruin it in the over heated/burnt oil- because he had already cooked several courses of fish in it already. I couldn't taste any of the mushroom. Every tempura piece was greasy throughout. The only ones that ended up decent was the lotus root and the satsuma imo, because they were dense enough to not soak up the oil. Overall, would not go back. Needs to improve significantly. Also have an issue with the term omakase with this menu. Maybe "a lot of sushi" and "a lot of tempura" would be more suitable for the menu. :) read more

My first omakase experience and I think it changed my life! My boyfriend and I reserved a table for the Sushi Omakase a couple weeks before our reso over the summer. On the day of our reso, we got downtown pretty late and knew that we wouldn't make it in time. We called and asked if they could hold the reso for us as we would be 15-30 minutes late. The staff were super nice and held the reso for us (we ended up being over 30 minutes late!) even when this place is usually fully booked and you have to wait weeks before you can reserve a table. When we got into the restaurant, we were greeted and met with the kindest lady. She sat us down and asked if we wanted any drinks. We ordered the sake sanshu (tasting for 3 different sakes) and they were all very good considering my boyfriend and I don't usually like the taste. The sake definitely added to our overall experience. Even though we came a little late, the chef ensured that we still got the full experience while making sure the next reservation could start in time. The sushi was prepared right in front of us and it was so cool to be able to see our chef prepare it one by one with so much care. To be completely honest, my boyfriend and I are not fish or sushi experts, but all the pieces that were served to us were so yummy. Before this experience, we thought people exaggerated about the sashimi tasting fresher and better, but it was literally not an exaggeration. All the pieces were so fresh and melted in your mouth - definition of pure joy with every bite. You could definitely tell that there is a big difference in quality compared to regular sushi restaurants. I also found everything to be filling (soup and dessert was also served) but wouldn't mind if there was an extra added piece or two! Would definitely suggest Edomae Kiyomi for people who are trying omakase for the first time for delicious, quality fish, amazing service, and just an overall awesome experience! read more

What a treat! We had the omakase sushi, and it did not disappoint. Everything was fresh, flown in from various parts in Japan. The rice was good too, soft and broken, with a hint of vinegar and sweetness. Kevin the manager was tentative and friendly. Looking forward to the tempura omakase next time. These guys are legit and provide great value. Thank you. read more

This is a restaurant with a lot of potential. They are currently in their soft opening and there are a lot of improvements that could be made. First off the store does not seem to have proper sake glasses. All sake is served via a wine glass. Serving sake in a wine glass detracts from the experience. I also had trouble communicating with one of the female staff as English is not her first language and she did not understand a lot of what I was saying. This would be fine with a normal restaurant, but a restaurant of this pricepoint, one would expect the staff to have sufficient linguistic skills. The food was decent, however we were only served 10 pieces of sushi, whilst the omakase menu said that there would be 12 pieces. At the $120 per person price tag, the place is not outrageous for an omakase place but there is still a lot of improvements that can be made. read more

Came for the 2nd time to try the tempura omakase (had the sushi omakase the first time) and was just as impressed as the first time! Never had tempura omakase before and this was just so good. Watching the chef prepare and make each piece was great - the attention to detail is amazing. In total, there were about 12 pieces (half seafood, half vegetables), with a few pieces of sashimi to start and a rice dish at the end, and it was definitely enough. Service and ambience were excellent. Overall fantastic meal! read more

My friends and I (group of six) came here on Feb 26 - during a massive snowstorm! We went because it was my birthday! hehe The ambience was amazing - everything was clean and simple. The hostess took all of our chunky winter jackets to their closet right when we got in. Five of us had the sushi omakase, and one tempera omakase. They gave us tea right away to warm up from the cold, and they were absolutely incredible with their tea service. No one ever had an empty cup of tea. It was aromatic black tea- just don't know the exact one. Before we started our sushi omakase, they took our drink order & also asked if we would like a tempera appetizer. I honestly really wanted to try it, so we got it! Wow. I am stunned of how well it was battered and fried. 100% better than the tempera we get from AYCE. I would definitely recommend the tempera appetizer! All the pieces were fresh. The only piece I was not a fan of, was the conch sushi. It just wasn't for me, it tasted like I was eating chicken cartilage. It was cranky and not something I like. The uni really took me by surprise. They got it imported from Kyoto- it was basically the best uni I've ever had. It even beat the uni I had in Tokyo. I highly would recommend the sushi omakase. The sushi chef and the rest of the staff was friendly and funny. read more

Newly opened omakase place, by the former employees of yasu. Having been to yasu previously, I had very high expectations for this place. I would say, the fish tasted fresher than Yasu, and they focused on the basics/highlighting the quality of the fish vs. Adding other flavours (such as citrus zests, which yasu loves to do). I appreciated the simplicity of edomae. I haven't tried to tempura omakase, but there was a table next to us eating this - smelled delicious and would definitely love to try it at another time. Quick tip: you can ask for tempura appetizer or finisher to add on to your meal, just ask ahead. Customer service was top notch. Great knowledgeable staff who know a lot about sake! read more

I drove an hour and a half to come here for the tempura omakase, and it was beyond my highest expectations. The hostess readily greeted me by name when I entered and led me to my seat, which was right by the frying pot, and promptly poured me a steaming cup of hojicha. To my surprise, the air was clean, without a whiff of grease. Once I sat down, the chef briefed me of the daily selection of ingredients - all of which were impeccably cleaned prepped, except for the prawns, which he cleaned as the opening course of tai, kampachi, and hotate sashimi was served. Edomae Kiyomi also does a sushi omakase, so needless to say, the sashimi was great. Once the shrimp was cleaned, the frying began. What followed were a series of seamlessly timed tempura courses, each with a degree of browning, crispness, and airiness uniquely suited for the ingredient it starred. Some were obvious standouts, such as the shiso uni and the eggplant, while unlikely favourites were also discovered, such as the squid delicately steamed in the feather-light batter and sea eel (anago) which was fried to an erect crisp with the skin still supple and juicy. The fresh shiitake fish broth, made from the fish bones leftover from prepping the sushi omakase was fragrant, with an elusive hint of yuzu that refreshed the palate. What completely won me over was the last course though - the sakura shrimp kakiage. I will come back just for it. It is the epitome of crispiness and umami, and the chef will gladly add a squeeze of lime or more sauce for you at your request. Paired with a small dish of shiso tsukemono (pickles), it washed away any sense of palate fatigue. Throughout the entire meal, the hostess never skipped a beat in topping up my tea, or whisking away the used plates and bowls. The chef was proud of his craft and the ingredients he showcased, from the Hokkaido uni to the rice flour that was used to coat each piece before getting dipped in the batter. If I must complain, it would be about the dessert, a house made chocolate bavarois that was delicious, but I personally thought could be replaced by either an ume strawberry sorbet or yuzu granita, or even a quality piece of fresh fruit. Overall though, a highly worthwhile dinner with high value and skilled execution that I will gladly revisit. Truly spectacular. read more

What a great addition to this area! At $120 per person it's a bit of a treat but the fish was fresh and very flavourful, especially the chutoro and otoro. The chef and server were also really friendly. The night we were there, the dessert was black sesame ice cream - at first I was a bit disappointed hoping for something that I wasn't so familiar with but honestly, it was the best sesame ice cream I've ever had. We'd definitely go back, and I'm hoping to try the tempura omikase at some point. read more

We came here for our anniversary a few weeks ago This was my first omakase experience. The atmosphere was nice and simple. Service was attentive and friendly. You can see the chef delicately prepare each dish and he also quickly refilled our ginger every time we finished it. The fish was quite fresh, but honestly nothing was stand out special. There was a lot of food and it was actually quite filling in the end. Since it was our anniversary they actually wrote 'happy anniversary' on our tofu cheesecake, which we thought was a super sweet touch. :) The cheesecake was also light and not too sweet. We were taken about when they told us that there was a 15% discount when you pay with cash. The omakase was $148 per person, so the bill was $300+. Who carries that much cash on them normally LOL. So unfortunately we did not get the discount, but heads up to check if they still have that promotion next time you go! All in all it was a great experience and we actually wanted to try the tempura omakase next time. read more

We ordered the Omakase dinner and it was rather ordinary. There was still a piece of bone in the fish. The chef saw me taking the bone out of my mouth and did not address the issue. The chef serving us wasn't too knowledgeable of the fish. He had to look at the cheat sheet to identify the fish. The sushi was average, I'd expect better quality for Omakase bar at this price point. The fish quality itself is not bad, but bones in sushi is simply not acceptable at $120/person. We ordered a bottle of sake to go with the meal, the server brought over the bottle and did not pour the drink. He never attempted to refill the drink during the entire meal. There were only 4 customers at the time and the server didn't really attend the tables. We were offered a tempura sampler to try, The tempura is better than a lot of other Japanese restaurants but the batter is considered pretty thick if you are to compare that to the ones served at authentic tempura bar in Japan. The tempura Omakase dinner is priced at $120/per person and hence such comparison. There are quite a few other places that offer Omakase dinner at similar or better price point within the GTA. It is opened by chefs who worked at Yasu before. But it doesn't look like it's comparable in all aspects. Hopefully things will improve after some time. read more

SHOULD NOT spent $120 for tempura omakase course here. It was totally NOT WORTH of that. SHOULD NOT come for any special day. They will let you down. I even ashamed that says "Edomae". It was not authentic Japanese Edomae tempura. I wish I could leave "zero" star. But I couldn't. AYCE or izakaya tempura are much better quality than here... service was very so so..( not acceptable for $120) I didn't get any warm welcome at the entrance. The sushi chef and one server looked at me then ignored me. So, I waited like a foolish because I was not sure if I could go to seat by myself, or wait) Also, the servers are not professional. They were like a cheap restaurant's. No small talk at all, No checking table, No recommending another drink... We needed to catch them to come for order. The only thing I can praise them was they refilled tea a few times before asking... Chef was not Japanese. He was Chinese. It's okay. But the problem was that he gave one customer special treatment what he received everything twice in front of everyone. Chef said " he is a men, he needs more" It's nonsense!!! We paid same. Also, he was totally not a professional chef. His presentation was awful. My friend and I were desperate to laugh during service. He mumble out to explain us " Madai and Shimaaji" for sashimi. But we don't think that was true. It was obviously different we knew. The tempuras were POOR. I've never seen such a small kurumaebi(Shrimp) for tempura. Everything was too much cooked. The taste was only burnt oil.( I think that was even not sesame oil too) Uni with shiso leaves was awful taste. They never asked me the taste even I left a lot. Not crunchy at all, everything (except potato)sucked burnt oil and just terrible !!! Normally I don't leave cheap tip and bad reviews for any terrible restaurants. However, this restaurant made me to write for avoiding to make new poor customers who expect $120 valued tempura. I left with empty wallet then still hungry... I want to ask them to refund strongly!!!! read more

Just came here for my anniversary and it was hands down the best sushi experience we ever had. The omakase was very professional and the chef was very helpful and kind. The owner made sure we were well taken care of throughout the night. Overall, the food was amazing and the atmosphere was very aesthetically pleasing. Will definitely come back for the tempura omakase. read more

Went there for soft opening. Loved every dish. All the sashimi was so fresh, especially the Toro. They just melt in your mouth. The tempura at the end was not greasy at all. read more

A much more relaxed atmosphere then some of the others omakase I been to, service was great and food was pretty high quality for the price. $120 per person for 20 item meal. They also had a tempura set dinner which we'll have to try next time. The food was well portioned, you walk out feeling satisfied and definitely not hungry. read more

I wanted to try this new " Japanese " restaurant for a while passing by a few times in front of it. My first impressions looking at their logo, I thought, probably another fake Japanese restaurant owned by Chinese. I decided to give them a chance anyways. It is covid-19 era so I ordered a delivery. Turns out I was right! When you look at the website pics, it really looks like it might be authentic. They probably even hired a Japanese chef so it would look good on a superficial level. They are basically trying to sell you expensive sushi style and tempura, when in reality it is made with the cheapest ingredients. The best way to judge a Japanese restaurant is with their miso soup . With the very first sip I could tell it is absolutely not a serious Japanese restaurant taste.Watery miso soup with cheapest quality dashi and seaweed from China. Sushi looked ok, but again made with cheapest kind of tobiko. Tamago Yaki had a sad shape and was tasteless. It is 35$ for this sushi dinner. Most of the downtown Toronto Chinese owned sushi restaurants will sell the same quality for half price. If you want real Japanese quality go to a real Japanese sushi restaurant: Zen Kingyo Miku JaBistro Shinobu Aoyama Ginko read more

Edomae Kiyomi - Sushi Dinner 35$ - Sushi Bars Near Me - Toronto, Ontario

Booked dinner here on a very rainy day and was happy to see they have a covered patio. The omakase sushi set was so good - the fish was so fresh, rice was nicely packed as it didn't fall apart but not too dense and had a nice flavour to it. Service was very attentive too. I noticed there were a couple of previous reviews saying this place is opened by mainland Chinese, but the two sushi chefs and server who were there during my visit all looked and spoke Japanese. Will come again when it's time for another treat! read more
