I took my boyfriend here for his birthday and it was amazing! Chef makes you feel at home, especially being served sushi straight from his hand. I have never had sushi like this in my life. You can taste each grain of rice. The fish is extremely high quality and so fresh. Thank you for a great dining experience all around!

The elements that make Sushi Masaki Saito's unbeatable taste are: tradition, exceptional quality of ingredients, delectable offerings and an attitude of respect for customers.

This is the first and only restaurant in Canada with a 2 Michelin-starred chef ⭐️⭐️. The restaurant has an Omakase menu for $680 per person (price does not include HST 13% and tip 20%) with the option to pair with tea or sake.

My friend and I chose to pair with hot tea for $15 per tea bag and a bottle of Jikon Omachi 2021 sake for $250 for this dinner. Since the drink menu does not disclose the price of the tea, my friend and I were equally shocked when we saw the bill of $15 for a tea bag.

My friend and I went to Sushi Masaki Saito with very high expectations due to the fact that this is the 2nd most expensive omakase restaurant in North America, behind only the 3 Michelin-starred omakase restaurant Masa in New York. Personally, I am not a big fan of sushi rolls because I like to focus on the quality of the fish and the ingredients that go with it.

I don’t know if I could tell anyone else whether this dinner was worth the price or not, because it’s a personal decision. So “was it worth it?” is a question that only you can answer. For me, it was worth it and I really enjoyed it. It was a once-in-a-lifetime dining experience.

The unique experience that makes this place stand out is Chef Masaki Saito – he is always your chef. There are only 11 seats in the restaurant, split over 2 evenings per night so that he can be the one to serve each guest. Chef Saito is incredibly approachable – he is fun, friendly and very kind, making each guest feel welcome and part of your special dining experience. The staff is large and always very helpful. They can sense when you need something. They ask questions and provide answers about everything from food to interior design. Chef Saito even noticed that my friend was left-handed so he reversed the direction of his dishes for her – a thoughtful touch that my friend and I couldn’t help but admire as we chatted throughout the night.

It is indisputable when it comes to their food’s quality. Their fish is flown in directly from Japan twice a week on a direct flight to Toronto to ensure maximum freshness. For the rice, the foundation of sushi, Chef Saito buys award-winning rice from Nikka province from a supplier that sells exclusively to Sushi Masaki Saito in Canada. You can taste the difference: the rice is sticky but also fluffy so diners can feel every grain of rice when you bite into it. Mixed with a blend of five red vinegars, the rice has a brown color unlike any other sushi I have tasted. The seasoning is also made in-house, their ginger takes a week to ferment and uses bamboo ginger, hence it is really crunchy, fresh, yet not too strong. Even the wasabi is enhanced by chopping the wasabi root into a smooth paste.

My favorites are the toro with truffles, otoro and steamed abalone with liver sauce. I usually find otoro too fatty for me but this one has a great balance. Also, the truffles are rich and the abalone liver is one of the best I have ever had.

As for the space, the decorations including the sushi bar are made from 200 year old Hinoki wood imported from Japan. Their wooden cabinets are also made by craftsmen in Japan so you feel like you are dining in Edo. The design of their sushi bar is well thought out with a shelf under the counter to store your jacket or bag and a raised marble ledge that acts as a footrest. My friend and I never once needed to reach for our plates since as soon as Chef Saito put down our food, a server would quickly take our food from the bar and bring it to us.

This is a true traditional sushi experience, the dishes are served fresh without the addition of soy, wasabi or anything else that other sushi restaurants are using that makes sushi less and less similar to its classic form. Sushi Masaki Saito is a complete culinary experience, served by one of the best chefs I have ever seen.

A masterful culinary experience. It genuinely was one of the best meals of my life. Chef Masaki Saito deserves his accolades of being the only two star Michelin chef in Canada.

One interesting note - we got there for the 6:30 p.m. seating and there was only four of us. At first this caught me off guard, but we learned from Chef that they only individually serve four to six people in the first seating and then the remainder of the seats for the 8:30 seating (which I think is between 12 or 14 people a night).

It is very intimate experience and I highly recommend it if you want to splurge on an experience.

Denna anläggning i enkel terminologi serverar kulinarisk perfektion personifierad: Omakase rätter var exceptionella bara för att överglänsa varandra både i smak och presentation. Masaki Saito är värdig många en retur engagemang!

Sushi Masaki Saito är ett nytt tillägg till Toronto, en stad som har många utmärkta japanska restauranger, och några som specialiserar sig på Omakase-menyer som Yasu och Shoushin. Medan menypriserna på Saito (C $ 380 till C $ 500 per person) osannolikt kommer att göra denna restaurang till en som jag skulle besöka varje månad, överträffade upplevelsen mina förväntningar. Kvaliteten på fisken och riset var otroligt bra, och kocken Saito har några mycket kreativa metoder för sin mat. Han är också mästerlig i sin teknik och knivfärdigheter, vilket gör det till ett nöje att se honom på jobbet. Det är viktigt, och till skillnad från andra omakase-menyer i Toronto, är sushi på Saito i Edomae-stil, varigenom fisken bevaras under en tid i motsats till att den serveras färsk. Hans kunskap och tekniska skicklighet återspeglas väl i det som helt klart är något som kräver stor skicklighet för att kunna utföra bra. Förmodligen de bästa $ 500 jag har spenderat i nyligen minne.
