Sushi Kaji Restaurant in Etobicoke

We live in the neighbourhood and had always wanted to experience Kaji. Loved it.

Best sushi in the city

Phenomenal. The people, the food, the experience absolute perfection. 10/5 stars! Chef Kaji was brilliant and made the evening unforgettable.

This unassuming place on Queensway is an absolute monster of an eatery inside. The cities best sushi is here. I ve been here for the first time just last night. All of these people (very few of them) review bomb it by giving this place a 3 or a 4 that s mind boggling. This place is a 6 out of 5. This place ruined casual sushi restaurants for me. Incredible food. Please

Had an amazing experience for a friends birthday (group of 4). I was blown away by each dish. Highly recommend!

Excellent omakase with excellent service. Thank you for a memorable experience!

Been here twice with my wife for special occasions. Melt. Just melt. Kaji for the win.

Amazing. I had been some 6 years ago, and its always memorable. Sushi so fresh and savory that it melts in your mouth. Should be a higher name for this than sushi. Sure youve had sushi, but this is something else for sure.

Delicious sushi and friendly staff. Had a lovely dinner.

Every time is better than the last. The food is heavenly. The warm welcome from everyone makes us feel like family. And the whole experience is amazing!

What an incredible experience, watching Chef Kaji and his staff pay meticulous attention to detail and flavour pairings. We sat at the counter for a birthday celebration. Fish was fresh, delicious and the service felt elevated.

Incredible! Phenomenal food and excellent service. Will keep coming back. If you love omakase you have to check this spot out.

Favourite Japanese spot for me. Top notch food

I felt the perfect Japan Everything is delicious Thank you for the meal, General

Outstanding sushi quality for the price point! Everything was fresh, well thought out and we left feeling satisfied. Staff were lovely and service was attentive. Highly recommend!

Superb omakase, both the show (get a seat at the counter to witness the expertise and showmanship of Kaji) and the food, course after course, sublime

Its such a treat to be a guest at this restaurant. Chef Kaji is such a playful and wonderful host and the staff is more attentive and engaged than most places you would go. The food is flawless and stunning. Its like eating art. We went for my sons birthday last night and had such a memorable time. The last time we were there was likely 10 years ago ( we did do some take out during the pandemic) and its still of the best if not the best Omakase experience in the city. Cant wait to go back.

Super delicious, chef so friendly and funny! Highly recommended!

Highly recommend. Kaji reminded me of an omakase experience in Japan. Nothing fancy, lets the sushi speak for itself. Chef is very funny, if he catches you recording hell give you something worth recording. Great value for the price!

To celebrate my girlfriends birthday, I took her to Sushi Kaji for the Waza omakase menu. It did not disappoint at all! Several special requests were made and all were followed without any hiccups. Staff were professional, polite and very attentive. I am simply amazed by the freshness of each and every nigiri being served, especially the Ika. That was the best Ika I have ever had. The chefs behind the counter, were professional, efficient. Each and everyone of them had a specific role and they nailed it. I was super amazed. You definitely see the years of experience they had together. No one had a moment where they forgot what their role/duty was. They had their assigned role, performed it and exceled in it. Others may have felt a rush sensation but the way I see it is that they kept the flow of nigiris being served in a good pace to maintain freshness. I am extremely satisfied and definitely will recommend to anyone that are debating to visit Kaji for an amazing Omakase experience. Thank you Kaji team for making this dinner a memorable one for me and my girlfriend.

Kid-friendliness: Very kid friendly, they have mini omakase for kids, not spicy and no wasabi, etc. Food

Been coming here since covid when they did take out - amazing quality and worth the drive from Oakville

One of the best omakase in toronto for sure

Really fun night. The food was delicious. The experience at the sushi counter was a good one. Leaving this place fully satisfied.

We came here for an authentic omakase experience to celebrate our anniversary and we were absolutely blown away by the fantastic service, atmosphere and food! We will definitely be coming back!

WOW!

One of my favorite Japanese restaurants in Toronto!

Lovely and delicious omakase with wonderful service and a relaxed atmosphere.

This place blew my mind! First time Omakase and I can t wait to go back! Everything tasted so fresh and full of flavor. I ve never had anything like it. Worth every penny!

Not only was the food amazing, the staff were incredibly attentive and detailed. Truly impressive experience. Dietary restrictions: Went to great lengths for gluten free options.

Good experience!

4.5/5 Went here for an anniversary and it was a great experience. Highlights were the sashimi (bluefin tuna was amazing), snow crab, and strawberry mousse dessert. One of us got the wagyu but didn t think it was worth the extra $40.

Wow. I don t know where to begin. The service is fantastic but the food will blow your mind. Don t wait, reserve this place today!

4.8/5 Fantastic dining experience provided by an authentically Japanese sushi restaurant. The Omakase menu consisted of 4 appetizers, 8-10 pieces of sushi, and a desert. One can upgrade to include Sukiyaki or any number of premium sushi pieces. We opted for Uni as part of our meal. The food was delicious and fresh. Their dishware and plating was beautiful and each bite was a unique combination of flavours and textures. It was the most authentic sushi experience I ve had thus far in Toronto. Wonderful place to visit if you re looking for a treat! Side note: Street parking only. Dining is limited to around 90 mins so it was a relatively short experience.

Best authentic sushi experience.

Oishii - lovely staff and cute interior. Meal was well paced and appropriately portioned. Highly recommend the Takumi menu, the broth was amazing.

Great, friendly service and excellent food

I really enjoyed this omakase! The selections were tasty and unique! Starting with the first bite of seabream, which was so full of flavour, it really set the standard for the rest of the meal. I was also full after the meal! Highly suggest for a special treat!

I visited this omakase restaurant with my mom, and we both enjoyed the experience. The quality and quantity were both excellent. The chef here is very friendly and made us feel comfortable.

Loved this wonderful dining experience! Everything about Sushi Kaji is exceptional! This is what sushi is supposed to be! A taste sensation with every bite! Worth every $$!

This is THE place in Toronto to go.

Best Japanese food I ever had Service and staff were outstanding Food

We had a wonderful experience. Everything tasted so good. You can tell the staff put a lot of effort into each piece. It was a long drive for us, but totally worth it. Will absolutely come again!!

Great omakase experience. Food was fresh and flavourful. The service was great. I would recommend sitting at the bar to watch the food being prepared. I would definitely return.

The food and the experience was awesome. Highly recommend! Bring your appetite tho!

Stellar experience...best sushi in Canada..

An expert stage Magician can tell you what tools he will use, tell you in detail how he will use them to fool you, and still leave you baffled at the illusion. That is the only way to describe how Masterful the Chef and team at Sushi Kaiji are in their ability to show you the simple ingredients and how seemingly effortlessly they are prepared and still surpass every expectation of flavour, texture, and sensation.

Great experience with a unique dine-in concept, where they continuously serve small portions of various dishes. Additionally, they offer Japanese tea and wine. Overall, it was a fantastic experience with exceptional hospitality, delicious food, and excellent service.

Wonderful time, and amazing sushi experience

Par excellence. The food really is astounding and the staff explains food, preparation, even how to best enjoy it. You can watch them make it which is like a little dance. Highly recommend.

By far one of the best all you can eat sushi spots in the city. Highly recommend the sushi. Top quality ingredients, service, and skill. Lots of parking too. Kid friendly.

Sushi Kaji is the best sushi experience I have ever had, every time. The freshness and quality of the dishes, the presentation, the care the chefs take in their craft...top notch.

Easily the most authentic sushi experience in Toronto, it felt like being back in Japan on vacation. The staff is amazing, sitting at the chefs counter gives you a first hand experience on the creation process. You will leave satisfied and happy.

Chef Kaji is a true master. Our experience is amazing every time and coming to Sushi Kaji is always a special treat. We ve explored many high end sushi and omakase restaurants around North America and this is the best. Every bite is an experience and the service is outstanding, while remaining understated and cozy environment.

Delicious dinner with some of the best fish I ve ever had. Incredibly fresh and varied selection. The uni was perfect. Was a bit disappointed by the cook on the wagyu, as it lacked flavour on its own outside of the broth. The tempura was quite oily but very tasty. Otherwise it was a great meal and experience!

First time experiencing omakase. Food and experience was amazing. Worth the price!

Was such a great experience. Service is on point. Staff was excellent; friendly, quick, and efficient. Felt very authentic. Next time would like to try the bar seating (groups of >4 have to sit at the table understandable).

Kaji is the best sushi in Toronto. Yes, that is a bold statement. Youll see. Always the best fish, fresh from the market every day having been flown in fresh from Japan, and prepared by a group of artists led by the master himself, Mitsuhiro Kaji. I truly enjoy sitting at the sushi bar and watching the preparation and the care that goes into meal. And all of that is reflected in the food that you will receive. And I truly appreciate the omakase experience which means that you dont need to worry about what to choose for your meal, the chef has arranged all of that. You simply need to relax and enjoy and experience things you probably never would have thought to try. The food, the presentation, the staff and of course Kaji himself. Always a treat. Would recommend and have and will repeat.

What an experience. 2-3 hour dinner for valentine s day was wonderful. Such a wide variety of Japan sourced fish with an attentive staff!

Most authentic Sushi experience Ive had thus far. Staff is very welcoming and friendly!

A hidden gem. Great omakase experience: fresh, well executed layers of flavors, great service. Bring an empty stomach too, because it just keeps coming.

Amazing omakase experience. Staff were super friendly and knowledgeable. Come hungry because it s a lot of food!

The omakase was amazing. The staff were so kind and friendly! Thank you for such a great experience, we will definitely be returning!

The best sushi in Toronto.

Definitely the best sushi restaurant experience Ive ever had in Toronto. Ive never experienced so many different types of fishes and sashimi before. This restaurant only has two options on their menu, both the pre-fixe menu, we took the smaller one. I wish I could explain each dish in detail, but that would take me hours to write. Bottom line, it was worth every penny. And they have a great selection of saki.

I had come here more than 10 years ago for a friends birthday and found this recent experience to be similar. It wasnt anything too special. Some pieces were better than others. I really enjoyed the mackerel from Japan but cant remember some other pieces. They have a good variety of fish. The Green tea cupcake at the end was sooo good! My critical points: - Some pieces werent cut very well with some dangling pieces off the sushi. - The negitoro at the end had a fish scale in there. - The cooked dishes were good but each element in the dish felt separate. E.g. Gindara with sweet tomago and beans with some sort of molasses sweet sauce. The egg is already sweet so why add the sauce and why serve with savory. Overall, service was fine. Not sure if Id come back since this is the same experience I had ten years ago! A liiiittle disappointing.

Great food here in general. Liked the sukiyaki with onsen tamago as dipping sauce.

1000/10 Details? I have none besides life changing. Thank you for a wonderful experience.

This is the restaurant with the BEST service. I have never been to a restaurant which my cup of tea is always full and always hot. They take care of you so much and make your dining experience so great. Of course the food was fresh & amazing, you can taste the ingredients before biting on them. Highly recommend

Amazing high quality omakase.

I didn t know take-out could be this good.

The fish was very fresh. The toro and also the shrimp melts in your mouth. I also love the salmon from Ireland as it was tasty and melts. The dining experience was smooth and excellent. The staff was very attentive and the tea wad always filled even though I drank half of it. It keeps the tea warm. The desserts was so good too. My partner and I thought the experience was amazing. I find that the flounder was overpowered by the shiso leaf but that is probably to due to my tastebuds. Considering this is my first omakase, I thought everything was excellent already!!

Wonderful omakase tasting experience, been there two times once at the bar area once regular seating.. both amazing experience. Parking: street parking free after 6 pm

Probably the best meal I ve had in toronto. Immaculate.

Absolutely phenomenal omakase. I have tried many in the city and this is the best Japanese. Chef is phenomenal !!!! Would reccomend!

I was impressed by the quality of the food. The service was attentive and excellent. But will return only on special occasions.

Quaint, friendly, delicious. Expensive, but definitely worth it for the food and experience. Umai!

I had a wonderful meal with a friend. The food was top tier, but the delivery of the meal was the best Ive had. The atmosphere was quiet and intimate. A great place to treat yourself or have a special night.

We ordered the omakase for my wifes birthday and it was excellent. We really enjoyed the sushi - the fish was some of the best quality weve had and subtle flavours were added on top that really made it exceptional. We ordered one of the sake bottles and it really paired well with the entire meal. Lovely way to celebrate! Looking forward to eating here again in the future!

Phenomenal experience. I dont know sushi very well, but Ill tell you that this sushi melted in your mouth. You got a description of every piece where it came from all the flavors everything

atmosphere is amazing food was amazing workers are amazing will come back for special occasions

A very unique and authentic dining experience. A beautiful presentation of exceptional sushi and wagyu .. The staff/ chef are very professional, creative and put a lot of effort into details. I went there yesterday with my partner and our two sons, they will likely never forget this experience.

Had dinner with my family last night. Fantastic food and service. Amazing value for the price. The only issue was difficulty finding parking, but the snowstorm contributed to decreased availability

-Waza Sushi Omakase

I would prefer go to Rin Sushi or Aki Oni Sushi instead.

Visited Kaji recently and ordered their Waza Sushi Omakase. ($160). All courses are more or less at the chefs discretion and ingredients are sourced globally. So, you will only know whats being served upon arrival. They also offer the Takumi Omakase which features a wagyu sukiyaki ($200) replacing a noodle/soup course in the Waza. All other courses are the same. The Omakase included: 1. Tamago/Grilled black cod 2. Lotus root fried tiger shrimp 3. Sea bream, O-Toro, Chu-toro sashimi 4. Soup with red crab and tamago custard (wagyu sukiyaki for the Takumi Omakase) 5. Crab cake 6. Pressed Unagi sushi 7. Bluefin Tuna, Chu-toro, squid sushi 8. Scottish oceanic trout, Nagasaki Flounder, Amberjack, golden eye Snapper sushi 9. Tuna tartare with spicy mayo 10. Seared Scallop, prawn, Moroccan octopus sushi 11. Matcha gateau chocolate cake Service was exceptional. Each dish was explained and guidance was provided on how to enjoy optimally (if there was wasabi, soy sauce/no-soy sauce etc.) My only gripe was around the dessert. I found the cake to be overly dense, but I came here for their sushi and all the other amazing dishes they served. Parking: Paid street parking, free on Sundays

Sushi Kaji is a top quality experience for those who want a less formal/friendlier omakase experience with a sushi master working his craft with top quality ingredients. A small restaurant with two seating times, reservations are a must. Counter seating is where the action is. Ingredients, dishware, and garnishes are chosen to reflect the time of year and whats in season. Ingredients are flown in from Japan and other domestic and international coastal regions. Some cooked dishes served hot and cold, but the main focus is the sashimi and sushi (nigiri-type) bites. By the end of the meal, youll wonder if you have room for anymore bites, but of course, youll want that extra order of uni, toro, and/or Wagyu. No drink pairing, but theres a small curated menu of sake, small selection of beer, wine, and non-alc options. They were able to accomodate a baby and stroller (notified in advance during reservation), and had no issues with a lactose-sensitivity. Theres a step to the door, and a flight of stairs to the washroom, so not accessible. A special occasion restaurant that delivers. Wheelchair accessibility: Not accessible. One step to get inside, and flight of stairs downstairs to washroom.

My husband and I had a great experience here. We absolutely loved the taste of each piece, we appreciated been told which piece to dip in soya and which ones not to. The chefs looked as if they were dancing with their hands when they were preparing the sushi. Was beautiful to watch. We were very full by the time they served all dinner. Although we ate a lot, we were not feeling heavy on the stomach at all. The staff were very pleasant. Definitely going back.

This Sushi Restaurant is absolutely worth its weight in Gold. Theres this amazing ambience about it thats light, charming, and really welcoming. My girlfriend and I decided to visit this place on our anniversary and we are absolutely grateful we have. Im a stranger to fish culinary so it so nice that a guide gives you the best summary of what each meal contains and even the pictures I attach may not do so much justice to how beautiful these dishes are. Its also cool seeing the chef prepare our dish and interact with him as he cooked up wonderful dishes. Im smiling as I write this and were already planning to visit here next year.

Such a beautiful visit. Staff were attentive. The sushi and sashimi were art, masterfully crafted and far exceeded any fine dining sushi experience I ve ever had before. Skip the wagyu if it is on offer. It wasn t bad but just wasn t anything special. The fish was unlike any fish I ve ever had before. So fresh and vibrant. It s pricey, but worth it!

Excellent experience. This is a pricey Sushi place. Its a set menu. Everything tasted fresh. Food

Time tried and tested. Personally, this is the most authentic and traditional Japanese Sushi restaurant around Toronto. Can not go wrong with anything with sushi master Mr. Kaji.

Best sushi ever in Toronto.

I went with my husband for his birthday and it was so memorable! Everything was so fresh and the presentation was amazing. They make the sushi right in front of you and it was so authentic. Definitely visiting it again soon!

Top three sushi omakase in GTA, when I say top three, I don t mean third or second.

Best Omakase experience! It s nice to get away from the loud and busy restaurants, this is a serene Japanese dining experience!

Pretty disappointed. The experience was below par for the price point. Ambience, service and food were all a bit lackluster.

Sushi Kaji is tucked away in an unassuming commercial strip on The Queensway in Etobicoke. Tbh, we ve had people say to us that they ve passed by and wondered what sort of sushi restaurant would locate in such an unusual location. Well, the truth is that Sushi Kaji is at the top of the IYKYK heap, and discerning fans of top-of-the-line sushi make the pilgrimage to Kaji s eponymous resto to enjoy what is arguably the best Omakase in Canada. Kaji himself is one of Toronto s OG sushi masters, moving here as a young man in the 1980s and establishing his own brand not long after he arrived in Canada. He offers two Omakase options, with the distinction being that one features a wagyu beef addition. All the ingredients are fresh, carefully selected and (mostly) imported - often daily - to ensure the best quality and experience. And yes, it s not inexpensive so for most of us mortals this is very much a special occasion event. Recently, we celebrated our wedding anniversary there, and believe us when we say the evening was very special and worth every penny (and more).

One of the signature Japanese restaurants in Toronto! The preparation and execution of the food was great.

Few places are a revelation and among them, Sushi Kaji stands tall. One word: phenomenal! Food : 5/5

Interesting chef, warm service, fresh ingredients

An outstanding meal, beautifully crafted and presented by Master Kaji and team. Expert layering of flavours, the freshest of fish, and a feast for the eyes and mouth. We have been coming here for years and the quality never wavers. Highly recommended!

Food was so amazing. Very traditional Japanese cuisine.

Simply amazing! Unassuming, but elegant restaurant. Very fresh fish imported daily from Japan and Europe, and even Morocco. Authentic Japanese sushi dining experience. Every course served was delicious! Great place for special occasions, celebrations, and a taste of Japan.

What an experience and the food was soooo fresh!!!!

We made reservations at Kaji Sushi to celebrate our 10 year anniversary and we were so impressed! The food was amazing and so fresh. The staff were so polite, kind and friendly. We were even given a little anniversary dessert which was so special. I highly recommend this restaurant!

Awesome spot for an omakase experience. The sushi and sashimi were super fresh and the other dishes were very tasty. The staff was extremely friendly as well. Definitely make a reservation before coming here to ensure you get a seating.

EASILY #1 sushi in the GTA!

Great place, was able to make a last minute reservation and pleasantly surprised. Compared to other omakase in Toronto, I love Kajis portions and consistency.

It was an honor to dine with one of Torontos OG itamae and his team. Every part of the ~16 course omakase was fantastic, from the outstanding opener (a summery twist on hiyayakko using sweet corn tofu) to the understated and elegant finish (coconut ice cream with jasmine crumble and peach compote). Its impossible to pick a single favorite bite of sushi (hirame gave me a rush of nostalgia, o-toro is always decadent, aji remains a favorite fish, how can you not enjoy Hokkaido uni, and let us not forget the beauty of a torched scallop with a little sansho sauce), except maybe to say that being lucky enough to get some engawa here was a real treat. Thank you, Kaji-san!

Got to finally try this place!! I was so excited my partner booked this place and it met my every longing expectation. Food was great for omakase at this price point. Decent portion and a unique beverage selection. My partner enjoyed the non alcoholic option very much. This omakase counter feels very spacious which gives more privacy than other omakase bars. There wasn t much interaction with the chefs but they were attentive and great service overall. I leave 4 stars review as I feel like sushis were of similar palette (creamy, fatty side of things and a repeated garnish) than more variety. Can t wait to go back!

Always an amazing experience. Best sushi in Toronto

Ive wanted to go here for years and finally did for a special occasion. Incredible food, loved the atmosphere, and tried a number things that Ive wanted to for a very long time. Thank you to the staff for an amazing dinner!

Came with my partner for his birthday and we had a wonderful experience. On par with many great omakase restaurants in Toronto. All the menu items were well thought out and the sashimi and nigiri very fresh and delicious. I left feeling quite full. They have a good sake menu. Ambiance is very chill and relaxing. The sushi chefs are all so sweet and chef Kaji himself hilariously animated. It was very clear the staff enjoy making sure you have a great time.

My honest review after eating at many different Omakase restaurant. After seeing 4.8 out 5 with many reviews I expected it to be WoW. Our seatings was at 6pm at the bar where you can see the chef make the food for you. If seatings are at 6pm always usually arrives 10 mins early so dinner can start right away, but doors didnt open till 6pm. The whole dinner felt like we were looking at the back of the chefs not an Omakase experience. Fish werent as fresh for the price and the Uni color was definitely not right especially coming from Japan. Fish were chewy and felt like it was in the fridge for a few days. For a set price between 160 to 200 and no uni included felt quite expensive. Also repeated of fish during the course. The service staff were great though, always refilling tea and taking plates away.

This restaurant offer two choices of omakase courses the difference is the Wagyu sukiyaki. The fish is great but toro and uni are extra charges. The experience is a positive one but with two minor complaints. I picked the sushi bar seating but the way they operate, pretty much not much difference in dining table seating where different sushi chef made different portion of the sushi course about 5-10 min ahead of time and I felt no connection with any sushi chef when sitting at sushi counter. I also found the sushi has too much rice in it in my opinion. It s still a good experience all in all the service staff are super friendly and attentive!

Absolutely phenomenal experience. I highly recommend.

One of the most amazing relaxing experiences I have ever had. Explosion of flavor and calm. I would love to be able to eat here all the time, but this place at its price point is meant for celebrating opportunities.

One of the best Sushi in Toronto!

Phenomenal sushi and other food. Friendly service in an out of the way location. Definitely not cheap but you get what you pay for.

Cant say enough. Yeah, its pricey, but worth the experience if you can save up to go.

Amazing presentation and freshness of all the food. What a treat.

The omazake was amazing: full of season tailored, fresh, and delicious food, especially the soba soup and wagyu sukiyaki that we had. The dessert was very unique and a high note of the day. Ambience was cozy and friendly. The cost is reasonanle too. Would highly recommend!

Legit sushi in Toronto

Ive had omakase at a few places in Toronto, and this place is the best! The food is sublime - worth every penny, and you will be full at the end. Watching Chef Kaji make sushi is a real treat. He also took the time to ask all the dining patrons during and after our meals if we were enjoying them, and was very charming in his responses. He is very funny! He and the rest of his staff are also very kind and friendly. At the bar you can also watch the other staff prepare the food, which is a fascinating process. Service was great - respectful and attentive, but not intrusive. Dishes come at a good pace, and empty dishes are whisked away. Tea is refilled without having to ask. Requests for water and other beverages are acted on promptly. The wagyu upgrade is worth it. The ambiance is intimate, but low key and unstuffy. Its perfect for a special date or anniversary with someone you want to impress with the food and service, rather than flashy surroundings. The noise level is low - you are able to talk to your dining companions in low voices. This was my second time dining at Sushi Kaji - the first time was during the pandemic. During my first time there, I spoke to a couple who has been going for over 20 years, twice per year. Another couple had also been there before. I can understand why Sushi Kaji has repeat customers! Im already planning my return. Side note: Do NOT park at the lot next door - its not allowed (its another property) and you might get towed. Street parking in front of the restaurant is plentiful and free usually at or after 6 p.m.

Its about time I made it here! Food is top notch. My favourite was the Wagyu sukiyaki, and the uni, and the scallop and the octopus and... Youll understand when you eat them. You get it, hard to pick just one. Kaji-san and his team make it special. Sit at the bar and engage the staff, it enriches the experience, one to remember always. Arigato.

Cozy and warm restaurant that takes us back to Japan as soon as we enter. Second time here and we will continue to come back. Thank you for the wonderful experience!!

Always amazing. Feels just like being back in Japan. The flavours are subtle and the textures luxurious. Probably wouldnt get the sukiyaki again for the extra $50 though... Sit at the bar if you can.

Amazing omakase experience

Terrific dining experience with excellent food.

Hour before closing wouldn t let us in even though mostly empty. Call before you go

I loved every single dish/piece, freshness to every taste. Service was amazing and attentive.

Sublime sushi experience.

Never disappoints!

This is my 3rd time to Kaji and the last one was 15 years ago. The experience was spectacular! It was like eating art (crazy right?!?). The blend of ingredients was so well paired.

Excellent service. Amazing food. Ending with 14 different varieties of sushi

A wonderful experience. Freshness to another level.

Food was great but the overall experience was much less polished and impersonal.

Kaji-san and the team are masters of their respective crafts. The fish quality is second to none as is the preparation and plating. The atmosphere combined with the service results in a zen like vibe that reverberates throughout the restaurant. While their is ample food given one does not leave feeling stuffed. Rather, it is feelings of satisfaction and tranquility that overcomes you. Prior to the pandemic I was a frequent visitor to Japan. It has been missed and the void has partially been filled by this humble restaurant. I would like to thank Kaji-san for bringing this little slice of Japan to Toronto.

We celebrated our 3rd wedding anniversary at Sushi Kaji and its a night we will never forget. The food and staff are beyond amazing, I would highly recommend this restaurant.

Loved the experience here! The sushi was delicious. Each fish had a very soft texture throughout and we were told which pieces to eat without dipping soy sauce. We had about 8 sushi pieces and 6 pieces of sashimi and we ordered the Wagyu. All of which were extremely well put together and I was very full by the end of the meal. For parking, theres free Green P street parking on weekends.

We tried the omakase with wagyu beef and it was delicious! The service was a much faster pace compared to other omakase places we ve been to.

Certainly worth going. Only issue I have (a very personal one) is the portion way way way too much for me to enjoy it. Was already super duper full half way thru the nigiris.

Came here for birthday celebration and the entire experience is just wonderful! Definitely the best value omakase in GTR!

Great omakase highly recommended!

Hands down, exceptional. The food was amazing. Pricey but amazing. For someone who doesn t crave sushi or Japanese food - even then, this place was fantastic

Amazing omakase experience, highly recommended

First omakase experience! Food and vibe was great! Staff was awsome!

100% recommend to go, good food and friendly stuff. Fish is fresh and their special shoyu tare is amazing. Will come back!

Great taste of fresh food!

What a great dining experience! The food was so fresh! Everything was great and melt in your mouth good, but my favorite was the scallop sushi and I am going to have dreams about it! Lol! Such lovely people serving and cooking all the deliciousness! There is a female chef who was just the sweetest (unfortunately I didn t get her name) and chef Kaji was amazing, and entertaining with his antics! :) 10/10 recommend and is worth it! A must try.

Worth the price. Ive had omakase from various places within Toronto. Having this comparable omakase on the west side of Toronto is a delight. The appetizers you receive are a bonus, but the highlight are definitely the sushi. service is what you would expect, nothing out of the ordinary.

Such an incredible experience. I took my husband here for his birthday and we absolutely loved it. All dishes were delicious, divine... such unique flavours and presentation. I let them know I had a mild shellfish allergy and they provided substitutions for the courses as appropriate, which I really appreciated! Literally the best fish and wagyu weve ever had - the fish melts in your mouth. Great sake too. Amazing service as well. Will most definitely be back!

Food was good but kinda overrated after being hyped as the best omakase in Toronto. Ive had omakase everywhere in the world (including Japan) and this was by far the most impersonal experience. The only time the chefs speak to you is when theyre explaining the ingredients to you. It was off-putting because the omakase experience is supposed to be intimate and personal, but I did not feel that at all - they could have gotten servers to serve the dishes instead and it wouldnt have made a difference. Anyway... The fish was fresh and some of the dishes were pretty interesting. They were generous with the toro which was great, especially since there wasnt any uni. The tofu appetizer was delightful as well. However one of the biggest duds was the soba - I thought the noodles were way too soft and chewy, like instant noodles. The broth was also nothing special. Overall, good food but I wouldnt travel all the way here again. Especially since the service was so impersonal and didnt feel special.

I find their take-out Omakase box at $140 to be of very good value for portion and quality. I have dined-in at Sushi Kaji 11 years ago and loved it. Having had take-out today, brought me back to when I had loved this place and the quality still stands. Mind you back then, Kaji was considered one of the most priciest places to have Omakase in Toronto. It is no longer, but I still believe it is a very good place to have a decent Omakase without breaking your wallet in Toronto. Their rice was so well balanced, although a bit much. After eating 7 pieces of the nigiri, I had to start removing some rice, but I am a small eater. The fish was fresh and it melts in your mouth. The uni was the sweetest I have ever had in Toronto. You can see in the photo, it was just the prettiest orange colour and that s so rare to see. Super fresh! And I don t usually like uni either. I wanted more actually this time. For take-out, I gotta say, this exceeded my expectations.

The most amazing dining experience. Watching the chefs do their thing was mesmerizing, a thing of beauty. They worked like a well oiled machine and it was great to see them shine. As for the sushi - amazing - every single bit was amazingly sublime.

I would rate it as a special experience. Is it a good value? Probably, yes. The experience is very unique and the service was great. Food is a very positive surprise and I found some of the dishes unexpectedly delicious. .

If you want fantastic Omakase Sushi in the Toronto region, this is definitely the place to go. Only the very best fish fresh from Japan prepared by the hands of a true master. It is a joy watching him prepare the single Sushi. Starters were also very well executed and balanced in taste.

My favourite Japanese Omakase in Toronto! We have to visit Kaji at least 2x a year, and we ve been regulars for 10+ years. The quality is the best in town, and you get every last bang of your buck. If you like sushi, and like GOOD sushi, this is the place for you. So much love for Chef Kaji + the team! PS their yuzu sorbet is the yummiest thing ever!!

Exception quality. The wagyu dish was amazing and definitely worth it. The entire menu was well thought out. Dessert was a bit of a let down though.

Fabulous restaurant with high quality omakase meal. Comparable to Michelin-star meals Ive had in Tokyo and Osaka. This is the best sushi experience in Toronto.

Went with my girlfriend, we loved it. I ve been craving it ever since, can t wait to come back!

We went for dinner to celebrate the anniversary, food and service are amazing!!

Good sushi place for omakasa. They also give you a good amount of sushi too, unlike other omakasa places that Ive been in Toronto. Appetizers were so so and service was alright. My expectation was a bit higher cause Im paying more then 150 per person

It was not bad. It did not feel like an omakase you get elsewhere in Toronto. Food was 3.5. Sushi bar seating was a 1 (nothing special at all). Staff was a 4.

Omakase was just ok, no memorable dish or piece. Some other Omakase places in Toronto were better. Portion was quite large though.

One of the best, if not the best Omikase in Toronto. Fresh seafood and amazing staff.

The best Japanese meal I have had outside of Japan. Every dish was delicious. The pricing is not for the faint of heart but you get what you pay for.

Top notch omakase. Best part was the appetizer, it was surprisingly good. I have been to Kaji few times in the past but this time, it wouldve been perfect if the service was little more polished.

Incredible experience. Highly recommend to dine here if you have the opportunity. The Wagyu Sukiyaki is absolutely worth it for an addition to the omakase. One of the best dishes Ive eaten in my life. We will be back!

Wonderful omakase tasting experience. Every dish was exquisitely presented and the seafood and fish were so fresh. I don t think I would order the wagyu beef sukiyaki again although it was good. If I had to celebrate special event, I definitely would consider coming here again!

Been there 2 months ago. I didn t want to leave a comment here until I had a very good omakase experience somewhere recently. My experience at Sushi Kaji was below my expectation. Mediocre food. Didn t feel like the dishes worth the price for $240 especially it came with cheap fish (salmon) in omakase. Too much wasabi in the sushi. Will not come back again. Service was just okay.

Beautiful experience, every bite was just fantastic. Very fresh and worth every penny. Sit at the sushi bar so you can watch the magic happen. We will definitely be back again and again. Exceeded all expectations.

Ive wanted to try Kaji for a while as you can wait weeks for a seating. The food is of high quality and always great service. For a non foodie, I cant really appreciate the subtleties of the various fish cuts but I do know they were all very tasty. A bit on the expensive side but they are very clear about the prices before you arrive. Their are two fixed menus with two separate prices.

The best experience of your life

This review is from 3 years ago. Service was slow. Hard to comment on food since many of the sushi dishes that we were served contained olive oil, which Im still confused about. I dont think I liked it, and for the price, Im sure I didnt. Wouldnt go back. Go to Yazu instead if you want to splurge.

Very disappointing for what some claim to be the best sushi in town. None of the dishes stood out. Proportions and temperature were poorly controlled. Some fish were not fresh. Service was rushed and not attentive. Interior decor is subpar.

We had such an amazing experience. The staff were incredible and each dish all deserve five stars. We would highly recommend and come again. Absolutely amazing authentic Japanese cuisine. Thank you!!

The food and atmosphere are absolutely amazing. Worth every penny

Most authentic Japanese cuisine in North America. Highly recommended Happy customer

Sooo very good! Loved that there was no waiting. Very efficient and oh my goodness it was delicious!!! I was so full. Had the Wagyu add-on and it was well worth it. Will definitely be back!

A favorite of ours. Chef Kaji takes pride in his dishes and offers a great dining experience. Soya sauce in made in house. Fish is flown in. Very cozy place with limited seating. We always enjoy our Kaji dinners.

Ive been 20+ times and it is simply the best sushi in the city. Five stars for the fish and 3.5 stars for the cooked food. It used to be five stars as well but the long time Chef moved on.
