About this restaurant

Good for special occasions
Neighborhood gem
Charming

At Yukashi, we offer an intimate dining experience rooted in the traditions of Japanese kaiseki. Led by Chef Daisuke Izutsu, each meal features a meticulously prepared 9-course seasonal tasting menu, showcasing premium ingredients from Japan and Canada. Optional beverage pairing is available.

Our menu changes regularly with the seasons and highlights delicate flavours, refined technique, and thoughtful presentation. We offer tasting menu only—no à la carte options are available.

Guests may choose from counter seating for an immersive experience, or table seating for a more private setting. Please book accordingly, as seating types may not be changed on the day of your visit.

Reservations are required. We encourage you to book early to secure your preferred seating.

From the OpenTable editors: Chef Daisuke Izutsu’s intimate Mount Pleasant spot serves just 20 diners a night. The hushed sushi shrine is where you come to watch the chef prepare a kaiseki menu with skilled precision. Each of the nine courses is exquisitely presented, subtly flavoured, and changes with the seasons.

Simply a superb overall experience. Chef Daisuke was extremely interactive. Server Yoko (pardon possible spelling error) was excellent in her service and explaining each dish and sake pairing. The Sous Chef was excellent. Excellent and will definitely return. Thank you.

We had a wonderful omakase dinner at Yukashi and greatly enjoyed Chef Izutsu's warmth and humor. He and his staff prepared a delicious tasting menu with seasonal ingredients from various regions of Japan. Sitting at the counter and interacting with Chef Izutsu while he prepared the meal was a very enjoyable and memorable experience. The food and service were both excellent, and we would highly recommend Yukashi.
