   Yasu is a very special experience. We went as part of a wedding gift we received and opted to enjoy the paired sake tasting menu, which really added to the experience. The food was incredible and they have a lovely pacing overall.

   Definitely a splurge but it was the best sushi I've ever had in my life — no question. My personal top three from the night: 1. shirako: Creamy texture and a TON of flavour. It's a unique offering too, not found at most sushi places in Toronto. 2. hotate: I'm a sucker for scallop. Yusu's was on a different level. 3. lean bluefin tuna: Most people go for fatty, but lean had a nicer texture and flavour in my opinion. Honourable mentions goes to the lobster sushi with the refreshing yuzu sauce, and the delicious black sesame ice cream. Both of us also ordered the green tea (refills available) and the sake pairing. One of the two servers for the evening would bring out each bottle, share a bit about it and the history and pour our glasses. My favourite was the final sake since it had a strong yuzu flavour and was very refreshing. Although the space is small (about a dozen or so people at the counter, a larger table for 4-ish, and our table of 2), it was very lively and could get very loud at times. Tip: book EARLY. Reservations for any day opens exactly 7 days before. Booking for the next Friday, I checked what's available at 9 AM and all sushi counter seats were already booked (only tables left). However, that's not a bad thing! The table for 2 we got offered a very nice full-window seat at the front of the restaurant and got a decent view of the chefs preparing so you're not missing out. Also, a shout out to both the servers. They were very attentive all evening and provided helpful explanations on the sushi and sake.

   We arrived early and got to pick our seating at the bar, there’s 2 tables to seat those not at the bar but the best part is watching the chefs make each piece. We chose the Ume (plum) wine and it matched well with the sushi, fruity and sweet. The chefs would cater towards our needs offering to use less or more rice or wasabi. Each piece was done so meticulously I never asked for them to change a thing. They served milt sushi which is a delicacy in Japan. A lot of the sushi I’ve never tried before and I eat a lot of sushi. Very much worth the price for the taste of the food, ambiance, and service. This was my first and surely not my last Omakase experience and I’m very happy it got to be at Yasu.

   Food was amazing! One of the finest sushi places in Toronto. Service was fast and excellent. It was my second time and the last time was 5 years ago. I was impressed that they maintained the quality. My only negative comment was the smell! I don't know if their HVAC system was broken or what, but having a fine dining experience at that price shouldn't be combined with a heavy stench of fried fish! It certainly impacted the experience negatively!

    Wonderful contrasts in taste and texture of within each presentation. Rounding out the evening was a very nice invitation to sample more after the omakase completed. Elegant that the desert bowls were chilled to offer creamy black sesame ice-cream. Spectacular from start to finish.

    Because the majarity of waitress income comes from the drinks and alcohol, if you don't order the alcohol or other drink, the service attitute will become very badly. It would then force you order the drink. will not come again!

    Lots of restrictions on your reservation, which is kind of understandable given the quality and availability of the food. If someone can’t make it to your reservation? you pay for their meal and take the takeout box home. Servers and chefs are really nice and knowledgeable. The ambiance felt a bit lacking. The restaurant patrons weren’t particularly sociable, and despite the intimate close setting at the sushi bar, people weren’t really interacting. Lighting music etc would make it a more enjoyable experience, particularly since its a $800 meal for two people (including drinks) If you’re here just for the food, this is perfect for you.

    My first time experiencing an omakase and it was amazing! The chef always checked up on us and made sure we were okay. For example, constantly asking about rice portions - more or less rice. The quality of the fish to the presentation was spectacular. Overall it was such a great experience.

    First time here. Have had omakase in Japan, NY, and other places in Toronto. Ranks in the top quartile of omakase I've had. Not mind blowing, but definitely above average. Great attentive service.

    It would be nice to see a bird’s eye view map of the resto to know where the table was. I would’ve postponed to be closer to the sushi chefs. They seemed pleasant. Everything was beautiful (which is the main asset of this resto). Architecture of the house and construction of the food was 10/10. Fish was good. I wish Japanese restaurants were more conscious of freezer burn in their ice cream.

    This is an authentic sushi restaurant. Only serves Omakase....(Set dinner) but you can order extra sushi pieces at the end of the meal. Fishes are fresh and sushi rice are cooked well. Enjoyable and practical place to eat...Highly recommended.

    While the omakase dinner was delicious, the service felt rushed and unattentive for a dinner at that price point. For example, the table was never wiped clean before the next dish arrived, so we went through 5 courses with a dirty table. Our request to have less rice for the sushi was not respected because the chefs had made the next two dishes.

    When the chef asked us if we would like to have extra piece of our favourite sushi, we didn't expect it to be charged extra for the extra sushi, we thought they were complimentary sushi. Sea Eel was warmed up in microwave (we could hear beeping sound from the microwave in the back kitchen). The eel was very dry and unpleasant fishy smell. The chef didn't clean the serving plate before he served a next piece of sushi. If it's a proper omakase restaurant, a serving plate has to be wiped everytime before serving a next sushi. Our plates kept remained dirty with soy sauce.
