Kasa Moto in Toronto

best restaurant ever in toronto hands down. that s all i have to say

Space is very beautiful and cozy feeling, which is impressive given how huge it is. Music was pretty loud though, I could barely hear our server. Some really good dishes (udon, slaw, crispy rice, maki rolls), some just OK dishes. Cocktails were not great (just sweet, not overly flavourful otherwise). Overall glad we tried it, but unlikely to return.

Second time coming back for their bottomless brunch. Food quality is great and the best servers.

Been here a couple times now and the quality is always top tier. Good spot for Wagyu options

Vegetarian options: Amazing options for vegan and vegetarians! Food

Great food but never available for take out on uber. New automated phone is awful and you cannot place a takeout order over the phone either. Never had a quality issue with takeout so uncertain why they would stop

The place is gorgeous from the outside, and beats expectations on the inside! My whole family aged 6 and up love this place now. Get the chicken please! And the other signature dishes. Everything is on point. The service is warm, atmosphere is vibing, food is delicious.

Best karaage ever. Also one of my fav lychee martinis! Cute spot for a night out.

Super

Fantastic service and food

Not bad. Not great. Something to do.

A vibe

Edit: The issue has been resolved and I actually had great customer service from Vito. It was never about the money of paying for a dish we never received but it was being completely ignored when bringing it to their attention. Seems like this was just an error on their part or maybe I was missed. Will continue to dine here as this has always been our favourite place to dine when visiting yorkville. My friends and I also love coming here for celebrations because of their bottle service! Dined here for my anniversary celebration. Realized when we got home that we got charged for a dish we never received. Tried to call them but they don t answer their phone. I sent an email September 16th with no response. Extremely unacceptable. Me & my friends frequent here for the bottle service but we will not be back. Would rather take my business elsewhere that care about their customers.

One of my favorite places in the city. However, the service was horrendous today. Restaurants of this caliber need to be consistent.

This place is the tits and and ballz! You gotta try the hot stone if you like meat and the Wagyu carpaccio if you like raw meat

Great service, overall good experience

**Disappointing Experience and Unprofessional Manager* I visited this restaurant last night and had an extremely disappointing experience. We had a reservation and we arrived a few minutes late Despite having noticed available tables, we were left waiting for about an hour without any reasonable explanation. To make matters worse, the manager, Abegel , was incredibly unprofessional throughout the ordeal. Not only did she fail to accommodate us, but her behavior and attitude were unacceptable. The level of customer service was very poor, and I would not recommend this restaurant based on this experience.

We love to have lunch in this beautiful place, especially summer time. Patio is great but receptionists are not always professional. Feels like some waters are drunk

Amazing food and atmosphere!

Amazing patio and the food was so good

Went for dinner on a Friday night with friends from out of town expecting to be able to eat and catch up. That was impossible as the music was so loud we couldnt hear each other. There were speakers above each table so we couldnt even ask for a different location. It was like being in a night club but with seating. We asked if they could turn it down and the waitress Said thats the way the manager wants it. So we continued as best we could. Other things happened as well, too much to say. Next day all 3 of us had stomach pains and nausea from the food. Bad fish. Even my friend had commented on how fishy one of the dishes tasted. Do not recommend this dining experience if you would like to have a conversation and not get sick.

Personally, the food is mediocre and quite overpriced. The restaurant is in the center of Yorkville so that makes sense. Its a good place for a business lunch meeting.

A really unique spot in the middle of one of the best areas of downtown Toronto. The menu is outstanding and refreshing. Every item is unique and the combo of seafood with meat and vegetarian options offer customers a great selection of fresh cuisine and open later than all other restaurants around. Second time coming and left a review mid meal. 10/10 thank you for the late night treats

The food was amazing and service was really good. Servers were quick and super attentive

Excellent vibe and place to eat. I love it there!!! Service from staff was amazing!!! Food : 5/5

Lovely place! Our server was great one of the best I ve ever had.

Sherry is the worst human I have ever met. I cannot believe that I come there weekly to spend my money and I got treated horribly. I cannot believe how the management handled this situation, when there are multiple tables complaining about a waitress, you should react but the manager did absolutely nothing. I would be embarrassed to be that manager and have staff like that

Great vibes. Sushi is alright

The patio was nice but basically the server kept bringing us the wrong items and getting upset with us and the sushi quality really went down . On top of it I asked if they do anything for birthdays and they said yes so they gave me a cake which was terrible and they charged me for a cake when i asked if they did anything for birthdays and they charged me . The cake should be complimentary on your birthday no questions asked and it was horrible anyways .

We went here to try their Tea Ceremony. It includes a 1 liter cocktail with 2 snacks for 2 persons at $75. We had Sake Sangria for drinks and we both enjoyed it, it was so refreshing. We tried all their snacks, baked crab handroll, wagyu gyoza and avocado crispy rice. All are perfect companions of the sake sangria! It also included some fruits (lychee, raspberry, orange). The tea ceremony is definitely a fun experience!

Me and my fammily enjoyed

Great place, people are welcoming, great services. Would definitely come here again!

The manager anthony and the bartender brodie where on point my drinks where on point and my food was out of this world. Served from the left removed from the right. Sarah in the front knew where to seat me. If you want to enjoy your time better come here because the dj Patrick will turn you on

Nice and smooth service and best food around

Wheelchair accessibility: Convenient access Food

The best one

Excellent service!

Got engaged on August 13th it was a really special day for us and my new fiancé knew that I ve been wanting to come here. We had reservations that day at 4:30pm and showed up. No one was in the front to greet us or talk to us, and we stood there for 5-10 mins and decided to go somewhere else. I was very disappointed..

Amazing facility and very good service

Great place to hang out and have coffee

Nice services

I love it very much

Very much cooperative staff and serves very well.

The food was amazing so fresh. Servers were very kind I recommend this place to everyone.

Unfortunately a disappointing experience. The eggplant was slimy we couldn t eat it, the sushi made us feel sick and the drinks were 3/10.

This is a beautiful hotel! Stayed there for a wedding and I love it! Highly recommend:)

This place stinks the food was cold and the service took way too long. Food tasted like it was .

Very good service and the taste is fabulous

A very nice place with lots of good food

Nice restaurant

One of the best fine dine Japanese restaurant in town.

Was a great evening. Food was delicious and the service impeccable Food

Great food

Good restaurant

Excellent

Food

Fantastic food and service at Kasa Moto. We will definitely be back! Top kudos go to Eden and Richard as servers. The sommelier person was also very attentive and cool.

When we came in we were told if we wanted the booth we should be done by 5 we came in at 3:15 , we said no problem but 4:45 we didnt even get all of our food yet. We drove all the way from London to have a very nice day in toronto and had a terrible experience in this restaurant We waited for our food for over and hour and only got 2 of the 7 dishes we ordered and the server girl brings us the desert menu I said we didnt even have our food yet then she goes to the back and says they are working on it and we dont see her for another 1/2 hour, just absolutely terrible service, we felt absolutely ignored , we said wer leaving please give us the bill for what we had, the manager didnt make us pay the least they can do I guess! It was disappointing I came from California to spend the day with my family and this is the way it went

Our server Kelly was awful. She was absent and did not check in on us at all. However, I did see her standing and chatting with the servers so thats what she must have been busy doing instead. Ive been here many times before and overall, the atmosphere is nice, food is good but the service I received last night by Kelly makes me apprehensive to recommend this place to anyone.

Melanie is a great server and the food was out of this world! Highly recommend

I have visited KASA MOTO numerous times, and with each visit, they continue to exceed my expectations. The food is consistently delicious, the atmosphere is inviting, and the customer service is truly top-notch. I must also mention their sushi, which is of exceptional quality. The presentation of the dishes is impeccable, adding to the overall dining experience. I highly recommend KASA MOTO to anyone seeking a high-end dining experience.

These people have been the scourge of Yorkville to many local residents for years. Tonight they blasted music from their rooftop patio at 1:30 in the morning, waking me up. So this is me giving them the finger.

Lovely lunch on rooftop patio. Food was good as well as service.

Service was good but food was small portions and bland. Food was not just mid, but bad. The cocktails are also disgusting, it was literally warm alcohol with some syrup that just tasted stirred then served. So disappointed.

Food was good. Atmosphere was nice however the way we were welcomed despite going in with reservation appeared to be less than welcoming. The lady at the entrance made us feel as if she did us a favor to let us in to dine. Definitely need to work on the hospitality. The server for our table however was very nice and took take of our requests very promptly and even asked for our feedback on the food we ordered. Don t think they should ask if one is celebrating anything special while making reservations online because nothing was done from their end to make our anniversary special other than the warmest welcome at the entrance.

We were a group of 8 seated on the patio for dinner on Aug. 3rd. We were seated right at the back and could barely hear each other as the speaker was right above us. Our waitress was salty right from the start. Perhaps because she knew she was guaranteed a 20% tip thats automatically put on the bill for a large group so she didnt need to crack a smile or be polite. The food was great but unfortunately tainted by the bad service which seems to be consistent with other reviews. Basic common courtesy should be there at the very least.

I love the new patio, Thx to Carlos Sorry for the photos I was having fun

Great customer service food was excellent. I had a wonderful Seabass, plus the salmon rolls.

Just hype bad service, bees all over and none of the staff want to change our seat or change the contaminated food. Plus I paid the full amount and tip.

Great vibe, excellent personnel, lovely crowd. And the food was amazing. Was recommended to us and we loved it.

Exceptional service and food with a personal touch to accommodate all age groups

We showed up at 1043pm, place is listed open till 12am and they the manager told us they re closed and it was a slow night. Unreliable hours don t go wishy washy

We were at Kasa Moto this past Wednesday for dinner on the patio, and we had the pleasure of being served by Khiarra. This was our first time visiting Kasa Moto, and we were unsure of what to order. Khiarra curated a menu for us, suggesting the tuna crispy rice, skirt steak, pressed salmon, and other dishes, and everything she suggested was absolutely delicious! We were shocked to learn it was only her second week - she s amazing, I hope her talents are recognized! Will definitely be back with more friends!

Came for brunch on a Saturday afternoon. Service was very slow. Had to ask twice for a brunch menu. The food came out pretty quick but the drinks took about 20 minutes to get to our table (one mocktail and one mimosa). Overall the servers seemed stressed and under pressure which I do feel bad about, however, a restaurant of this kind and with this reputation, not to mention the prices they charge, should flow a little more seamlessly. I will say that the servers were overall nice. The food however, was absolutely terrible. We did the all you can eat brunch which came out fairly quick. The quality of the food was subpar and the flavors just weren t there. The slaw tasted like it was simply washed and not dressed/marinated, the shrimp tasted extremely fishy and was chewy, the chicken and waffles tasted like boxed frozen food, the katsu sandwiches were dry and burnt, and the broccoli tempura was served with soya sauce (making it extremely salty). I m half Japanese, and anyone that knows Japanese cuisine knows that tempura is served with tentsuyu sauce. The pancakes were good and the picanha was decent. We were really disappointed by the quality of the food and overall experience.

Ziss provided exceptional service during our dinner at Kasa Moto. His recommendations were spot-on, and his attention to detail made our evening truly memorable. The food was also elegant by itself.

Service was lovely, atmosphere was nice, and food was fine. Good but didn t think it was worth the prices they were charging. We ordered a variety of dishes to share between the table. Some of the dishes all kind of had the same sweet soy sauce taste and overall I found the dishes didn t offer much complexity in flavour. Felt like it was the same flavour profile repeated. In terms of sushi/maki, the Kasa Moto roll was recommended by the server and torched salmon, and they were very good but nothing exceptional. Would I come back? If someone else was paying.

This restaurant is amazing. The atmosphere is lovely, The environment is safe, comfortable, and entertaining. The food is great. The service staff are professional and courteous. The roof top gives you a unique experience like no other.

We go here during celebrations, food is consistently amazing and the staff go out of their way to make the experience worthwhile. Highly recommend the fried rice and anything with Tataki

The food was excellent. The atmosphere was fantastic, and our waiter Ali made our dining experience exceptional.

Service ok. Suchi not ok at all

Mike the host is the best guy I ever met in my life made sure I had the best experience I m From Alaska , Zara the server took care of us Food

Patio during the summers is awesome! Otherwise, it s average. Overpriced and not worth the hype. Food is not bad. Could be better.

This place was a huge disappointment. Food is overpriced for the quality you are getting. Sushi was clearly premade and quality of fish was way lower than what you would expect for a place like this. Not to mention the service is worst then you would get at an average restaurant.

Horrible Experience at Kasa Moto Never Coming Back I had the most dreadful experience at Kasa Moto. We had a reservation for 10:30 PM but ended up waiting for over an hour without any communication or apology from the staff. Even as tables became available, we were completely ignored. When we were finally seated, things went from bad to worse. A waitress came over and started yelling in our faces without any provocation. Then, someone who claimed to be the manager came over and yelled at us even more aggressively before forcing us to leave. We were incredibly excited to dine at Kasa Moto, but this experience has completely ruined any positive expectations we had. The staff was rude, unprofessional, and hostile. I will never return to this place and will strongly advise all my friends and family to avoid it at all costs. Save yourself the nightmare and choose another restaurant.

Amazing Vibe

I recently dined at Kasa moto and it was an exceptional experience. The highlight of the meal was undoubtedly the Wagyu Fried Rice. Each bite was a delightful blend of rich flavors and perfect textures. The quality of the wagyu really shone through, making it a standout dish. The Chicken Karaage was another favorite. It was crispy on the outside, tender and juicy on the inside, with just the right amount of seasoning. Its clear that a lot of care goes into preparing each dish. Even the Broccolini was a pleasant surprise. It was cooked to perfection, retaining a nice crunch while being well-seasoned. Its not often that vegetables leave such an impression, but this one certainly did. The wagyu steak was also exceptionally good but not my favourite. Overall, the food was incredible, and the dining experience was top-notch.

Went for the first time and honestly the food was amazing but the service was the worst. You would get better customer service at a fast food joint where they don t expect a tip then here. The wait staff is poorly trained and very poorly educated on the menu where they aren t much help just agreeing to whatever is said. Props to the cooks because the food tasted amazing but poor wait staff ruins the experience from the miserable hostess to miserable and possibly high wait staff where they seem completely out of it. I hope wait staff get trained properly in the future because as good as the food is the miserable high wait staff isn t worth returning better to take out maybe. The stars are for the food and cooks delicious and good presentation.

Food was so good but the service was disappointing. Water wasn t being filled for long periods of time, items that are paired came on separate times. Would like to dine again but service ruins the experience.

Z took care of us very well all evening - 6 of us had plenty to eat and drink and everything was excellent. Will definitely be coming back!

First. The food was phenomenal. Very high quality sushi, fresh ingredients, with immense flavor. Downside: soy sauce wasnt naturally provided. A bit odd , but can be requested. Atmosphere is great, its a beautifully laid out contemporary Japanese place. The service was very kind , but a bit slow. But the place was packed.

Overpriced. Vibes are nice but not accessible (stairs going up). Food was ok but pricey for the taste (it wasn t mind blowing and portions were small).

The food tasted nice, portions were small, but the SERVICE FOR A LARGE GROUP WAS POOR. The server made several mistakes due to miscommunication. Incorrect orders were replaced but It really went downhill when she divided the bills incorrectly and refused to rectify the scenario even after acknowledging she made mistakes. Instead the manager was called who yelled very rudely to us without even trying to understand our request, and did not even attempt to rectify the situation. We were bullied into accepting incorrect bills to get out of the awkward scenario.

Great brunch spot with a lot of food options. Service was really good and so was the sake sangria, I would go back just for that alone!

Lil pricy for 3 people but pretty great otherwise.

Stopped by for a late night bite to eat, the salmon sushi roll was phenomenal, I also really enjoyed the wagyu gyoza.

food is good ^_^

The AYCE brunch is not worth the price. Menu has changed, and the entire ordeal was disorganized. My main issue with my experience here was what seemed to be the lack of understanding and communication between the servers and the owners on the all you care to eat brunch menu, and the disorganization around it. Admittedly, we went with a larger group, however, the issues that I highlight below didnt feel like it was because of accommodating a larger group. Some issues experience include: 1) No understanding from waitresses on what mocktails were included for the non-alcohol drinkers. We were originally told that there were two types included, and then they came back to tell us that one of the mocktails they offered initially was excluded (with no explanation)+ juice/pop/tea was included. I actually instagram messaged them after, and was told in messages that there would be mocktails, not just one, offered. 2) Im not sure if there was a misunderstanding with the servers, but they told our vegetarian companion that the chef was not serving vegetarian makis that day, that it wasnt seasonal. Mind you, on the menu, there was explicit text that says there is an option for the vegetarian maki to be made for the Brunch set. We explicitly chose Kasa Moto as our option for this meal because we were looking forward to accommodating our friends dietary restrictions. I eventually asked a more senior waiter if any accommodations could be made, and they did send something out. I will mention that they asked if it were necessary to be made, as more food items were going to be sent out soon. Unfortunately, most of the remaining food items (he listed these off) included meat. 3) The menu change. They basically nerfed the menu between when we made the reso and when we went (roughly a month). They took away some more of the value items (with raw fish) and placed them into an add on for extra section. I think this is misleading. I understand that restaurants can change their menus, but personally I think that taking away value from a menu like this from people who reserved based on what they previously saw, and then telling them that they can just add it on to an already pricey meal is bad practice. We were also never informed about this changed, and only noticed when we were already sat down and with the menus in front of us. I had asked if they would honor the original menu, and confirm that we booked before the change, but that was denied. Actually, we were also lied to because they said that those items hadnt been on the menu since last summer. This was untrue because we had looked when we booked. 4) There is no non-alcoholic option on the AYCE brunch menu. Im glad we confirmed online about this before booking, because the waitress told us that it was the same price as the option with unlimited alcohol. It seems silly, right? Ive looked at other reviews and posts about the food previously, and I does seem like there was a downgrade in quality, and type of food available for this Brunch. I cant comment on whether it was good before. As of where it is now, I really think that youre only paying for the environment, and being in Yorkville. Based on my experience, I wont be back. TLDR If you go for brunch, I highly recommend confirming the details of the menu and what you will receive, and keep it saved to show in case.

Fabulous patio - unfortunately it rained an we were moved inside. We shared variety of dishes. Food arrived quickly first round. Second order took over 30 minutes. Servers were friendly. Avoid Sashimi platter - tiny pieces, not very fresh and shrimp was slimy. Great wine selection.

Great new look its on its way to be the best patio in TO .amazing food service atmosphere tunes total perfection ,you will probably get more than deserved from this establishment .

Shout out the my guy Ali the most thoughtful and nice service! Thanks homie

Amazing service by Ali our waiter. He was excellent, arranged an entire menu to satisfy everyones preferences, an extremely enjoyable experience, would definitely recommend.

We had a wonderful brunch, our server Ali was wonderful!

ONE STAR. REASON. I PURCHASED Gift CARDS. I WENT TO DINNER AND WAS TOLD THE CARDS ARE NOT VALID. DUE TO CHANGE OF OWNERSHIP. THEN I DID SOME INVESTIGATION. THE OWNEDSHIP IS SAME OWNERS. GO FIGURE. I AM STUCK WITH GIFT CARDS WORTH $1000 now worth zero.. . DUE TO OWNERSHIP FLIPPING NAME FOR TAX REASONS.

we had reservations last night for my birthday at Kasa Moto and it was the most disappointing experience ever ! it s so bizarre that such a stablished restaurant/business has minimal customer service ! Our waiter was very rude to all of us ! Our food and drinks were so late everyone was frustrated and all the orders arrived at different timing! We had no cutlery at our table and the waiters response was so what should we do about that ?! I mean! Never ever coming back here and honestly don t recommend anyone having food there. Go there maybe just for drinks!

I went there with my friends and family for my friend s bday and we were treated so well! The staff were so friendly and attentive, the rooftop patio was stunning and relaxing, fun vibes. The food was absolutely incredible! Every dish we got was amazing and were from the a la cart menu, good portions for sharing - our fav was the karaage chicken! The virgin cocktails were incredible too. I m now going to tell everyone to go! My new fav Toronto spot!

The highlight of the restaurant should be the patio in the summer. We are having a good time enjoying our dinner. Highly recommend the Kinokomeshi and Wagyu Carpaccio. The soft shell crab making is inspiring. The overall portion is good.

I ordered Kasa Moto sushi and it was not fresh. I got sick right after.

Wow, amazing place food is so good and service is amazing

Very yummy dinner date at Kasa Moto. Wagyu carpaccio, lettuce wraps, miso cod, chocolate stone.

A bit noisy. Servers are pompus

Recently went back. A huge disappointment! Food wasn t too bad, but the service is horrible comparing to before!

Boo. Shame on you.. Lying about being wheelchair accessible.

The Upper Deck is lovely and service was super friendly. Recommend making a reservation if cannot go by 5pm.

Had the best experience planning an event with Mansi. I have dined here many times in the past and always love it. Even though my event never manifested, I look forward to working with the amazing people at Kasa Moto again soon!

Its ok. Went for a party. Only ate small bites .

Very cool place with great vibe. Food and service were really good!! Food

I don t know why it s rated so low. This place is amazing I ve been coming here for years!

Food was delicious and excellent service!!

Don t waste your money here. Food quantity and quality were both below average.

Best place I ve ever been. I took two trains to get here and it was worth it. One of the best experiences for seafood. Best sushi I ever had. Service was amazing. Super fresh food. Very friendly service went above and beyond. Everything was really clean and really fancy. Well done Kasa Moto Ryan 11 years old.

Food and service is great. Wish portions were a little bigger but everything else is nice. Vegetarian options: Yam bao, miso soup

Unfortunately, quite disappointed. We came for brunch and had high expectations having known about Kasa Moto for quite some time now. The service was slow but the staff were very nice, no need to fault anyone in particular. The real let down was the food. The piccana was so incredibly chewy that we werent able to even take bites out of it. We ordered it a second time after talking to the waiter about it and it was a lot better. But the fact that they served such a terrible cut the first time was extremely off putting. Now on to the fish, the star of the show, so we hoped. We had the sushi rolls and the sashimi. Once again extremely underwhelming, the pieces of fish had little to no flavour. The rice was undercooked, and so when pressed into shape, had a very uncomfortable texture. Coming to Kasa Moto our sushi expectations were quite high and this was one of the biggest let downs. For dessert we had two things, the chocolate chip pancakes and the mocci ice ice cream balls. The pancakes had zero flavour. Aside from this, their presentation was nice and the texture was spot on. The mocci balls came in three. One of which was completely raw and rubbery. Think of the outside shell of a baby bell cheese. Finally the ambience. We were seated along the side of the restaurant in a very narrow hallway which felt like you were pressed up against two walls with nothing pleasant to see. The place is poorly upkept, with dents and holes in the wall that havent been patched up in months. Black markings on the wall from moving furniture, cracked and broken tables, etc. Even the washroom was sub par. It felt like the owner tossed together whatever they could find at the dollar store on the counter. 4 different air fresheners literally thrown together on the counter, like we were in the basement washroom of a pub. Overall, the place has the bones of what could have been a great experience and brunch. The staff are friendly and well trained. The issue definitely comes from the management, the acceptance of not keeping up the facility, the lack of care to things like the washroom and the acceptance of sending out and plating poor quality dishes. Dont want to not say anything about the drinks as this is what people pay for, they were good, nothing special but no complaints. I feel bad for leaving such a harsh review but when you leave as disappointed as we did, you want to a) let others know not to waste their hard earned money like we did and b) you hope this prompts some management changes in behaviour. Try MARKED for a better atmosphere all you can enjoy brunch with fresher foods and drinks at the same price point. Try MIKU or Ki or Jabistro for better sushi. Actually, Ive had better sushi almost anywhere in Toronto. And head to a pub to get the same facility upkeep and care to the washrooms.

Loved the vibes! Food was great. I broke out in hives because I ate something I was allergic too but that was not the fault of the restaurant it was a miss on my part when I ordered! This is a great addition to the neighbourhood and everyone is so kind here. Btw I made a friend here while I was on a solo date with myself so ladies definitely don t be afraid to go here on your own.

Me and my guest visited Kasa Moto for the first time and its a pretty nice restaurant. I have to hand it down to the staffs there which were really friendly and made our visit pleasant. Food was delicious and I know its odd to comment a vegetable here on a review, but their broccoli tasted amazing. Also a shout out to Christos, our host. She was amazing and always made sure our stay and food was up to par. Thanks for your hospitality and keep being awesome.

Great place for sushi and Japanese food. Definitely on the high end side so great for celebration. Food and service are excellent.

Disappointing brunch! Don t believe the hype on social media! First off, I believe Kasa Moto is bitting off more than they can chew with the unlimited brunch! Overall, the brunch food is average and often over salted; the deserts and pancakes ate quite decent! The service was horrible, tracking our server was a struggle, the food came at very different pace ; some dishes we waited forever for, others came within seconds. At one point we were having desert and a sushi dish showed up not cool. Not recommended for brunch!!

I was visiting Toronto from Japan and wanted to explore a few Japanese restaurants to see how my food culture was interpreted here. My first experience at a Japanese Canadian fusion restaurant left me surprised. Many dishes lacked authenticity; for example, the edamame was prepared differently from what Im used to. It felt like the restaurant aimed to appeal more to Toronto locals with a trendy, upscale vibe rather than offering genuine Japanese cuisine. While its not necessarily a problem, as someone from Japan, I wouldnt consider it a true Japanese restaurant. Its more like a Japanese-inspired Canadian restaurant, which is fine, but it didnt meet our expectations.

Anthony was a horrible manager. Service was horrible. He made us order shots to pay more instead of buying a bottle. Please do not go there the management does not care about the customers.

Shout out to Lisa the bartender, came in asked her about the the drink list told me it was brand new I told her to choose for me both drinks absolutely amazing

I didn t look at reviews before coming here as I saw an ig post and it looked good. Came in with high hopes but was quickly disappointed. We essentially finished our meal in 35mins. The service was fantastic. Staff was really good. General feel for the food? It lacks Flavor; Flavor of the orient! Feels like when u go to a small town and they say this is authentic Japanese and that s what this tastes like lol. Then I pulled up google and see yea there is a consensus on food quality here. Well. Hope they do improve but for the time being, not sure it s worth a visit in the near future.

I have been to Kasa Moto for many years and never in my life have I seen such racism at an establishment/restaurant. The disrespect is unreal. When a group of us were at a birthday dinner at Kata Moto this past Thursday, we brought up a concern and spoke to the manager Anthony. Instead of coming up with a solution, not only did he not solve the problem he responded Ill give you guys a suggestion that solve the problem, you guys can walk away from the bill and we will charge the credit card on file. Ive never heard such classless and disrespectful response. I will never step foot into Kasa Moto again.

Our server Janine was incredible. Fun experience to try once, portions aren t too big so it s easy to try a little bit of everything. All you can drink was very generous! Plenty of Prosecco and Sake Sangria consumed.

I came during peak time - 12:30pm - for the ayce brunch. For a non-alcoholic option that is not on the menu, the price is $75pp. This was appreciated but I wish it was advertised somewhere. There is then two different alcoholic options for $99 and $149 for regular and premium, respectively. Both seemed to have good selections. While the food was presented well, the taste was underwhelming and I was surprised at the quality given that the chefs were Japanese. The food served did not lend much authenticity; perhaps they tried to cater to the rich, white clientele in Yorkville. It felt like a fancy Mandarin. - premium sushi: four nigiri + 4 rolls, tasted ok and to expectation. Nothing out of the ordinary. - chicken karrage + waffles: chicken was nice and tender. - sashimi crudo: skip it - beef pichana: chewy and cold. Sauce was tasty. - Wagyu fried rice: tasty but Wagyu was too salty. - Miso yaki udon: bland Our server was nice and attentive. She made sure to notify the kitchen of allergies. There were several mix-ups that came from the kitchen which can be chalked up to the busy peak time. Overall, the ayce is not worth it unless you are planning to drink your money back. We couldnt stomach more than 30min of eating. Ill give it a second shot for the regular menu and hope the quality is better.

Lovely as usual

The MOST INCREDIBLE steak I have eaten in my life!!!!!!!!!!!!

Service was so slow. When we asked the waitress why our food was taking over 2 hours she got visibly annoyed and said it was being plated. Even drinks took 30 mins. We ordered caviar but got fish roe instead. Some of the portions were so tiny. When we said we couldn t wait any longer and asked to cancel the remaining dishes, the waitress forgot to remove the cancelled food on the bill. Overall a bad experience for it s price, you get better customer service at Wendy s. Don t waste your money.

I celebrate my birthday with the all you can eat brunch, the service with Janine was amazing!!! I really enjoy the experience. Thank you!!! Kid-friendliness: The server Janine was amazing!!

Had my birthday brunch here on a Saturday and it was lovely. Sahira was our server and it was some of the best service Ive ever had in a restaurant. Liam was also a lovely soul who explained items on the menu to us. I felt special, laughed, ate good food. They made sure we were all happy when we left! I will definitely be back!

We had an amazing time here. The food was delicious and our server Ilona was great. Definitely recommend to anyone who wants to treat themselves to great sushi

I would come back for the vibes

I had a small birthday brunch this Sunday afternoon and everything was great. Our server was very attentive, food was delicious and the drinks came consistently. I would definitely return and recommend this brunch experience to a Dietary restrictions: My cousin is allergic to sesame seeds and nuts and they were very accommodating.

*Weekend Brunch Menu* FOOD: Fuyu Slaw: not a big fan of slaw so thiss just an ok slaw to me, nothing special. Sashimi: decent size and very fresh Wagyu Fried Rice: I dont think its wagyu at all, theres not so much beef in there but the fried rice tastes good overall. Pork Katsu Sando: dont really recommend, not worth it. Beef Picanha: one of the best one. Love the sauce, meat was cooked great and tender. Chicken Kaarage & Waffle: chicken was good, waffle was also good. But they just dont go together, I think the waffle was too sweet for the chicken. Nigiri & Maki: maki was ok but I love the rolls. Chocolate chip Pancake: way too dense, dry and sweet I could finish it and have to return to the kitchen. DRINKS: Sake Sangria: no sake flavor, it was ok and refreshing. It tastes slightly different each time we order it. Mimosa: a bit watered down but its all you can drink so its acceptable. SERVICE: overall friendly but I feel like the waitress was targeting me to embarrassed me in front of my friend in the end was the part annoyed me. VIBE: very nice decoration, spacious area.

Food is always good

The food was mediocre, and the menu choices were limited. However, edamame was delicious and would definitely recommend it. The cocktails were below average and did not taste as well as I expected. The bathroom was not clean. We were seated at a remote table in the end corner of the restaurant, which is why it was difficult to get the server to come up to us. We repeatedly asked multiple staff members to get a phone charger. They were unsure whether they could provide one, so they went to check with someone, and disappeared. None of them ever got back to us regarding the charger. The waiter and the sommelier are not well-trained in recommending wine. Overall, the experience was okay for an unexpected dinner stop, but most likely won t return after the two visits I ve had.

Great food and awesome atmosphere. We had a good time and certainly recommend you

Pretty overpriced for average food.
