Reserved the Tempura Omakase earlier this month and it was a stand-out experience. The interior is…read moreJapanese 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!

Been here a few times now and can safely say that they've stayed consistent and reliable. Initially…read more$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!

As someone who's traveled all over seeking omakase's, I was thoroughly impressed with sushi Umi…read moreespecially given the price (omakase + premium sake pairing + tip) of $210 cad, the flounder fin, toro and tamago were the stand outs, but each bite was seasoned appropriately and quality fresh. The chefs aren't very social but the waitstaff were great, attentive and friendly, not once letting my water run low. One protest is that there's no glass option for sake, only a tasting or half bottle and up. Another thing to note is the entrance of the restaurant is facing the freeway, as opposed to the shopping center, might make it a little bit difficult to spot (as it did for me lol).

Food 5/5 Service 5/5…read moreVibe 5/5 115$ for 17 course omakase Personally, I think this is one of the best deals you will find in Toronto. I had an amazing experience. Everything was absolutely delicious. I would say it's not like the very traditional Omakase where everything is coming from Japan, but all the fish were freshly cut. Taste delicious. And you can still taste the freshness. could definitely see the chef putting the work into it and making it fun for the whole experience. My only comment will be that the seating time is very very tight so basically right after you're done you have to leave right away. I think if there's an extra like 15 to 30 minutes that would be even better of an experience. Overall, five out of five I do think I'll come back and I'm really enjoyed everything

Overall our experience was positive. Located at yonge and Lawrence, the storefront is fairly basic and unassuming. Inside has a few tables for the weekend but the main star is the kitchen and sushi bar area where the omakase happens. The chef was solo that day so working efficiently yet creating a calm and enjoyable environment to watch him prepare the food and for us to eat it. The sashimi plate had some delicious bites of fish seasoned in different ways to bring out the flavor and texture. Tuna tartare also was an interesting combination of textures and flavors to make a delicious appetizer. The nigiri are all seasoned or treated in some way. For the most part, I thought it was good but a few were a bit overpowering - for example, the truffle oil on scallop overpowered the freshness and sweetness of the scallop. However, most bites were delicious - I especially enjoyed the sweet spot prawn and the super rich otoro. The whole meal finishes with taro ice cream, which was a sweet and delicious way to end the meal. Overall, definitely recommend trying at least once.

You can really tell there's a lot of care behind every course. What stood out to me most was how calm and focused the whole experience felt--it made it easy to slow down and actually enjoy each bite. Definitely a place I'd come back to when I want something a little more special.

It's been a while since I've had omakase. Yasu was easy to reserve and was under $200pp. The menu…read moreincludes 16 courses which includes 1 appetizer (containing 4 dishes), 12 nigiri, tamago, soup, and dessert. There were three add-ons (toro with caviar $25, uni with caviar $35, and caviar sushi). I opted in for the toro and uni add-ons. It was strange they give you the add-ons before any other nigiri. Everything was very good and fresh. Standouts for me was the appetizer, all three cuts of bluefin tuna, the lobster (by far my favorite), and the hotaru ika. I would've appreciated knowing that the omakase included or not included toro and uni before I decided on the add-ons but I don't regret it. It was a splurge night after all. Service was very attentive. Note that the dining space is very small. 12 seats around the counter and two tables. There was a very loud gentleman two seats from me who never learned to use his inside voice and totally ruined vibe. But that's not on the staff. Another note is that gratuity is automatic on the bill.

Seriously though I think you should all come here often for lunch dinner whenever honestly you should come here like ASAP rocky! The service was decent but don't be expecting crazy theatrics, just low key candle lit fiasco. The boat on the menu looks absolutely crazy it is only $54 and it is literally a boat of sushi you half to use a boat in order to catch the fish that are going in sushi so I feel that it is an interesting idea to incorporate the mode of transportation into the meal but it's not a real boat ha ha. P.S. The bathroom was like a portal to a whole new world, wild experience. For the record, if I could give it 6 stars I would! Lets take that one star review from Kelsey's that I wrote... and slap it on this bad boi.

The service was great and our waitress was super attentive, friendly, and really on top of everything. Even though the space is on the smaller side, it didn't feel cramped at all and had a nice, comfortable flow. We ordered the takoyaki and the sushi and sashimi moriwase. The takoyaki was perfectly done, it was crispy on the outside, soft and creamy inside, and full of flavour. The sashimi was incredibly fresh, clean-tasting, and naturally sweet. You can tell the quality of the fish is there. Would highly recommend and will definitely be coming back!

The owner let us use one of the spots in the back but it didn't appear to be reserved for the restaurant so I'm not sure where else we would have parked. The restaurant gave me pub vibes and was somewhat dark. The staff were super friendly and helpful. We sat near the window where there was a large tv on the wall that was showing a video of a walk around of what one can only assume, is Japan(?). Wherever it was, it was captivating to watch. After perusing their extensive menu, we opted for the Salmon Combo and the Orangeville roll. Both were excellent and presented beautifully. I would definitely love to come back here but the parking is an issue.

Absolutely disgusting experience. I would give zero stars if I could…read more The sushi had barely arrived at the table when I found a hair in the food. I forgot to take a close up picture, but I found this hair in the picture I took before eating. That alone was enough to ruin my appetite, but unfortunately, the hygiene issues only got worse from there. From the food pickup area, I could clearly see into the kitchen, and it looked filthy and poorly maintained. The women's restroom was even more shocking -- one of the toilets was literally covered in feces. I honestly cannot understand how a restaurant serving raw fish can operate with this level of cleanliness. The food itself was also terrible. The sashimi was served at room temperature, did not seem fresh, and the sushi was not good at all. When you are eating raw seafood, freshness and proper temperature are the bare minimum, so this was especially concerning. Between the hair in the food, the dirty kitchen, the horrifying bathroom, and the questionable sashimi, I completely lost confidence in the restaurant's hygiene and food handling. I will absolutely not be returning and cannot recommend this place to anyone.
