Aburi sushi is the way to go but if you are having sake or Japanese beer , make sure to ask for some fried fish senbe. It is quite a treat and it isn't even on the menu.

Richard Jhang

Focus on ordering aburi style sushi dishes which are torched variations of traditional sushi . They are very good at them, and you shouldn't distract yourself away from anything less.

Audrey G.

Great food, service, and ambiance. My favourite was the aburicious , so delicious and does not have that gas flavor other places often have with blow-torched sushi . Would make this a regular spot.

Beril Esen

Of all the sushi places I've been to, this is the first place to offer them blowtorched. Get the Aburicious if you want to try each kind. Salmon oshizuchi, Jabistroll & ika were the stars of the show.

Azhar Bay

Sushi and sashimi were quite fresh and tasty :) I think the place is pricey and it’s the first Japanese place that charged me for the green tea (I was surprised as I am a fan of Japanese cuisine).

RichelleMabell

This is where you go for good sushi in Toronto . You must try the Kyukyoko which is the chef 's choice. Also had salmon carpaccio , good, ika, good, JaBistroll , excellent. For dessert , Matcha puff, yum!

Jesse Lane

Delicious gem, a little off the beaten track . Everything was delicious, plus a great rooftop patio to boot.

Ashley Yue

One of my regular spots whenever I'm in town ! I crave for their aburicious blowtorch sushi all the time. Staff are very friendly , great food and service!

Caryn Zavala

Sashimi sampler is a definite must! Chefs choice for sushi an JaBistro option were also great. Tried the miso soup but would probably skip it next time.

Tiffany

Try any of the blow torch sushis and they're bound to be good. Also gave the miso soup with lobster a try and it's actually pretty good!

Ian Leung

Might be the best nigiri I've had in Toronto. $27 for 7 pieces is pricey , but worth it. Can't wait to try the kyukyoku

Tana Babcock

Delicious sampler sashimi platter and pressed rolls were outstanding!! The Sakura cocktail is also very tasty.

Ivan Nikolić

For a person who tried authentic Japanese food for the first time, I was instantly hooked. Excellent fresh ingredients , service and atmosphere.

Jean McCarthy

Some of the best sushi I have had in my life. Perfectly edited and prepared menu. Do not hesitate.

Jarek B

First time? Great! Get the Sashimi Sampler and Aburicious and split then with a friend. This is the best way to get a sampling of what JaBistro has to offer. Enjoy!

Angie Tsang

Best sushi in Toronto . Excellent service from the chef . Definitely try to find a seat at the sushi bar . The waitstaff are so new and can use more experience.

Adam Peleshok

The sashimi sampler is good but you don't get very thick pieces. All the aburi is tasty so pick your fish or get the sampler.

Falcon Darkstar

This is an aburi place mostly. They do an amazing job of it. The lobster miso soup , however, is pretty mediocre... Crab would do just as well .

Moody Jones

Wagu beef is solid. And the kyukoku is a good way to start your order.

Steve Marchese

Aburi is a must. The chef 's choice kyukyoku is the way to go. And great sake choices from the bartender .

Jeff Hitchcock

Food was great and the service was unbelievably fast. Try the green tea mousse .

Giovanni Laniado

I had lobster miso soup and the torch sushi sampler...simply the best sushi experience I've ever had

Carey Li-Sondhi

Blow torch sushi is awesome! Best sushi in Toronto . Fish melted in your mouth.

Kelsey

Best sushi in Toronto . Get the Abicurious and sashimi large platter. Blow torch sushi is incredible !

Moody Jones

Just get the special and an order of the torched sushi .

Rosaline

Try Kyukyoko & Aburi @ bar . Selection was noticeably fresh as compared w other spots. Other platters looked cluttered and not as appealing, though I did not try them and have a pref for the simple.

- R

The lobster sashimi platter is impressive. Toronto’s best aburi (blowtorched sushi ).

Ian Leung

Aburi (blowtorched rolls) were ok. JaBistroll is the best / most interesting.

Martijn Verbruggen

Fantastic sushi ! Take the chef 's choice and lobster platter. Bit expensive though...

Vlada Namestnikova

Good patio upstairs on a nice sunny day! Reserve in advance

Justin Leung

Excellent service . Tried the tasting menu and loved every bit, especially the grilled fish

Desmond Foo

I get the sashimi platter + aburi + nama every time :Q

Virgi R.

Excellent food and service, lobster miso soup was amazing!

Johnnie M

The southern style sushi is something you probably haven't had before. It's quite good!

Richard Jhang

There is a patio on the second floor, open during the summer time.

Burce ısık

Fried calamari is amazing and best sushi in Toronto

Josie C

Chef 's choice blow torch sushi is the oneeeee! Melt in your mouth awesomeness.

Carl W. Jones

Best sushi .

Susanna Lau

Really really fresh sashimi and delicious and ample sized rolls

Rob Hunter

Chef 's choice. Trust and do not ask questions.

ingrid lopez

ochamame are so tasty! cold edamame + macha mmm

Susanna Lau

Definitely get the sampler platter for a good assortment of sashimi .

Jason

I want to order everything off the menu but my stomach can only hold so much food.

Samir Nazir

The blow-torched salmon nigiri is the bomb-diggety

DJ ????????

Unbelievably tasty blowtorched sushi . That is all.

Monica Lee

Sashimi , lobster miso soup

David Strasser

The sashimi was great but the blow torch sushi was incredible.

Jeffrey Talajic

Sit at the bar and go Kyukyoku . So good, so fresh!

Chris Lai

What's not good here?
