They are best known for their flame-torched aburi sushi and also serve a fixed course kaiseki meal. I had a sashimi platter the first time I ate there, and during lockdown we have ordered sushi a couple times via Uber Eats. The setting has a bit of a sterile feel, but the food is good. I had never come across it while living in Vancouver, but had the chance to eat here once at the Toronto location situated in the financial district. Miku is a much-hyped Japanese restaurant that originated in Vancouver and expanded to Toronto in 2015. #instafood #japanesefood #toronto #torontofood #torontofood #torontoeats #torontosushi #omakase #foodtoronto #sushiaddict #sushiporn #foodie #food #sushi #nigiri #ilovesushi #foodpics #foodspotting #foodporn #foodphotography #foodblogger #foodblog #foodpornshare #instasushi #sushilove #鮨 #寿司 #torontolife #foodgasm #followme #blogtoĪ post shared by Yasu Toronto on at 9:38am PDT Miku Yasu Omakase at Home! Pick-up available between 11:30am-2pm and 4:30pm-8pm Mon to Sun. We came here once a couple years ago and really enjoyed it, although nowadays we prefer Skippa for its down-to-earth ambiance and more innovative dishes. The prix fixe menu for $135 per person includes a selection of 20 items, including appetizers, sushi, and dessert. Also located in Harbord Village, Yasu is one of the city’s top restaurants for omakase. I was reminded of this place by a commenter on my post about the best lockdown takeout in Toronto. pickup menu for thursday july 2nd to sunday july 5th send order limited number of orders on a first come, first served basis pick up time sent with order confirmation + payment made at pickup accommodate most allergies and dietary restrictions TRUST SKIPPA ($120) includes nori pan, lobster salad, sakana box, dessert nori pan – sourdough bread with seaweed from japan served with our miso butter BOXES lobster salad ($30) bonavista lobster + first of the season ontario tomatoes + cherries + myoga (japanese ginger) sakana box ($85) wild fish nigiri (8 pcs) + japanese fatty tuna temaki + fresh wasabi + pickled ginger dessert ($6) earl grey, pine berry, pistachio ice cream ORIJINARU maitake mushroom kit ($25) raw maitake mushroom (serves 2) + caramelized miso + lemon/oil dressing + seasonal vegetable rayu (8oz for $10) house seasoned tamari soy (16oz for $30) please email for sake/wine/beer menu #ontario #vegetables #lobster #bonavista #nfld #newfoundland #tuna #nigiri #sushi #temaki #handroll #dessert #tea #icecream #sake #wine #beer #wildfish #takeouttoronto #kyushu #fukuoka #japan #japanese #toronto #torontosushi #canada #japanesefood #omakase #farmtotable #seasonalĪ post shared by skipparestaurant on at 9:02am PDT Yasu Chuckles and I are such big fans of this place that we have been deemed ‘loyal customers’ who are invited to a special patio seating when they open up again in early August. The menu changes based on seasonal ingredients, and we have enjoyed everything we’ve ever eaten here, including the pickup meals that were offered during lockdown. This modest looking restaurant with only about 30 seats serves a range of southern Kyushu dishes, along with a delectable omakase selection including fish sourced directly from a market in Fukuoka. Skippa is undoubtedly our number one choice of Japanese restaurant in Toronto, which is saying a lot, because we have been to many of them! Located in the Harbord Village neighbourhood, Skippa is helmed by chef Ian Robinson, whose credentials include apprenticing under Toronto’s premier sushi chef, Matsuhiro Kaji. You may remember my mention of Skippa in this recipe for shiso pesto salmon and maitake mushrooms. Here is a small selection of what I think are the best Japanese eateries in Toronto, Canada. Nonetheless, many of these places are still very authentic and of excellent quality. This is a relatively small population compared to other ethnic groups in the region, and interestingly, several Japanese restaurants in the city are not run by Japanese owners. Since travel is still off the table for now, I am stuck with experiencing the tastes of Japan locally, but luckily there are many opportunities to do so here in Toronto.Īs of 2010, there are about 20,000 Japanese Canadians residing in the Greater Toronto Area. A couple years ago, I had the chance to eat up a whole lot of it on my dream trip to Japan, and I wasn’t even remotely tired of it by the time I returned home. As you know, Japanese cuisine is one of my absolute favourites. I just ordered a plate of aburi sushi and a salmon hand roll from our local sushi joint, inspiring me to write up this post on my favourite Japanese restaurants in Toronto.
