Omakesa is ok.
Chef was very talkative and friendly. Server was very shy and not much knowledge about the menu for food and drinks. Clean environment but had a strange smell near the bar area. There's much better places out there if comparing the prices.

For the money you can't complain nor can you compare to other Omakases in Toronto costing over $200+ PP. This is a decent entry level Omakase restaurant in the city and is affordable for a reason. Experienced Omakase eaters will think this is a mediocre Omakase and beginners will think this is slightly above the normal sushi you have eaten at Matsuda AYCE or el la carte at some local sushi joint. Will I come back? Probably if I can't afford the pricier options. But it's nothing super special or memorable enough.
Be the first to ReplyI've been to Kaito over a dozen times since August of 2020.
The quality has never wavered and I'm always impressed by the quality of fish. Kaito's ability to keep the favorites in the rotation and mix in seasonal items like sayori and firefly squid is top drawer. His attention to detail and the overall service and ambiance is wonderful. I highly recommend this restaurant as a great blend of quality and price.

We have been coming for 4+ years. The chef is talented and kind and on slower days it just him but busier days he has a waiter helping out. It's a small space but what matters is the food and it is always so great. Fresh and unique. My favorite is always the hamachi - I usually get one or two extra at the end to fill up!

This is def a hidden gem! The price and the quality of the fishes are unbelievable. It's definitely one of the most affordable omakases in Toronto. I've been here twice already and I forget every time how GOOD it is. Highly recommend!
Be the first to ReplyHorrible place! The worst omakase restaurant that I've ever
Horrible place! The worst omakase restaurant that I've ever been to in my life. First off, the food served was low quality items that you'd find in regular sushi place, definitely not worth the price. There were barely 8pieces being served, and me and my friend had to dine in another restaurant because we were that hungry. For the service, there were only a chef and a waitress there, the chef was rude af kept telling us to stop talking and eat faster, the waitress just brings removes your dishes for you only, no greetings or thank you at all.For the same price I would recommend going to tachi for much better quality dining all around.This is a honest review.If you see this and still decide to go to this trash place then gl with that.Do not come to this place, it will be a disappointment!
Be the first to ReplyMy boyfriend and I used to come to this St Clair Avenue
My boyfriend and I used to come to this St Clair Avenue West Area alot for sushi, but as the sushi shops around there started to close down, we stopped coming around as much. We were craving omakase and we saw that Kaito Sushi was doing a $76 + tax casual omakase for 13 courses, so we had to come and try it. It was a 1.15 hour meal and the chef would only be serving 6 people at once. Upon first impression coming into the shop, the chef bar was hidden at the back and we thought that we entered an abandon shop at first, until a server from the back came to greet us and bring us to the chef bar near the back. My fiancรฉ and I got a green tea and a beer for drinks and the chef prepared an appetizer, 11 fish and 1 dessert piece. The fish pieces were seabream, iwashi, hamachi, light tuna, medium fatty tuna, fatty tuna, smoked salmon, snow crab, scallop, conch, and eel. The dessert was red bean konnyaku. I would say not all the fish there for the omakase meal were unique and our favorite pieces were scallop, seabream and medium fatty tuna. We did not really enjoy the snow crab and the eel pieces as much. The eel was steamed instead of grilled, and was different from the style we normally get at other restaurants. Overall, for the price of the omakase, I think $76 was a good deal for the sushi pieces we got. If you are looking for an affordable omakase meal, you should try Kaito Sushi. The fish selection do change based on availability and you may be getting different ones than us! The chef was also super friendly and nice as well, which made the dinner service very personable and enjoyable too. Definitely would come and support a local sushi shop like them.
Be the first to ReplyThis is actually my first time writing review on Yelp.
I was extremely disappointed with my experience. I visited with my girlfriend about a month ago, and it definitely does not justify the price that we've paid.1. QualityQuality was mediocre. It was almost like a regular sushi that was being served by chef. I would rather go for good sushi place such as Taro's Fish for take out2. PortionNeedless to say, we left hungry. There were about 9 pieces of sushi that was served. Thats about $7-8 a piece that I could've spent on good sushi place instead.3. SkillI have been to several omakase places, and the chef doesnt sound knowledgeable nor skilled in treating the fish.I am never going back to this place and hope everyone takes my comment into consideration if you are planning to visit.
Be the first to ReplyI would like to echo Angela Y's posting.
It was just as that.Oh the rage... Where should I start...1. Omasake costing $66+ tax = $74.58 ( FYI, it will be $69+tax in 2022) was not even close to fill anyone's stomach. It was like 9 pieces... Are you kidding me?? Shouldn't it be at least 18 pieces for the price I'm paying for this??2. Yes the bar is so tiny and he was trying to seat 6 of us side by side, trying to squeeze everyone into that bar. Hello? Covid19, anyone?? Just because you put flimsy partition wall, it does not mean we can sit next to each other. Lol you have to space it out by 2m at least. Is he crazy or what? 3. I noticed that the blocks of raw fishes were not refrigerated, rather it was sitting inside of a wooden box. I was wondering how long has it been sitting there?? ย Freshness don't apply to here then?4. Why why why wouldn't you hire a waitress?????????? Why is the chef serving the tea, water and drinks?? Why why why do you have to be this cheap? We are paying $66 per person!! 5. When you are serving a raw meat, I don't want your hands to touch less of things, not more by topping ppl with their hot water. And just because you "rinsed" your hands with water does not mean you "washed" your hands. It's requires soaping, lathering and rinsing.6. And yes, Angela stated the truth... He is in this for the money. Should've recognized when I knew no one was there and it was a one man show. He actually checked all of our IDs and vaccination record and listened to all of our conversations. So frigging awkward. Can we please have some frigging privacy, please???!? Bottom line, I'm pissed that I'm out of $74.58 (with tax) and I was starving!! I had to go find a other restaurant and get another dinner. Would I go back? Hell no.

I feel so horrible that mom and pop shops continue to struggle as a result of covid. Kaito sushi serves up some really unique omakase and it's a must try for japanese food lovers. I came in during the first wave of reopening in the summer of 2020 and it was just at the height of covid. The restaurant was quiet, only another couple sat in on the same reservation. Extremely clean, socially distanced, with a cover for each party divided up the space. Custard was my favourite. Really interesting savoury notes but really refreshing. The nigiri had some pretty interesting twists and this is why kaito is really unique. Must try for anyone that's looking for a reasonably priced omakase experience.
Be the first to ReplyI love a good omakase.
And from a friends IG story, found this one (don't let aesthetics fool you). After dining here, I realized all the reviews I had chosen to ignore, were in fact 100% true (and not just the odd ones out)When glancing at the online booking system, policies stated that the full price of omakase would be charged for no shows and cancellations. And the dining slots allowed diners to only have 1 hour at the sushi bar. We ended up being the only 2 people in the restaurant as it was a snow day, so it made a very awkward meal, with the chef/owner watching us take every bite.The fish was NOT FRESH and his slicing methods not skilled. The sushi rice was too wet with only one smoked salmon course being memorable. The course pre-desert was a bowl of noodles with no toppings except seaweed (to try to curb the hunger). The "wagyu" was over-torched and from a cheap cut of meat hence why it was dry and tough. Needless to say, we left hangryThe chef also mentioned that he started this restaurant after working at a few very westernized Japanese restaurants in Toronto (Akira Back, Kasa Moto) and found that omakase restaurants were "trendy". This was appalling because a true sushi chef puts passion in learning about the art and skills behind omakase sushi

I had tried other Omakase places in Toronto, and by far I wasn't too impressed with this menu. The sushi quality wasn't the best just a little better than AYCE sushi quality. The smoked salmon was the highlight of the night, it was like nothing I had tried before! Very unique and tasty! If it's your first time trying Omakase, maybe it's best to try another place then try this place! Goodluck!
Be the first to ReplyI have mixed feelings about Kaito Sushi.
Came here with my friend for an omakase birthday dinner in November 2019, and with our 6pm reservation we were the only two people in the restaurant. Each course was prepared carefully and thoughtfully (with exception of the mini ramen - that was a 0/5 experience), and it was a treat of a dining experience. However, we had really awkward interactions with the sushi chef given that we were the only people in the restaurant. We were in and out in about 30 minutes, and didn't really get the chance to appreciate and enjoy the food as the chef was really just staring at us each time a piece of sushi was served. The experience probably would be better had there been other people around, and the chef would be working and interacting with everyone, not just the two of us.I would return at a busier time to experience the dinner with other guests, but for now I need to shake the anxiety that was the awkward 1:2 dinner we had.
Be the first to ReplyGreat value for omakase (Chef's recommendation) menu.
Limited to 6 seatings mean that you get served quickly and sequentially. The course is well balanced and chef has interesting technique to dress the fish in different soy sauce and citrus.
Be the first to ReplyI've been excited to try Kaito for a few months but
I've been excited to try Kaito for a few months but unfortunately was not impressed.DECOR: 3/5Located on St. Clair West and Dufferin, Kaito is not too difficult to find parking. There's free side street parking in the neighbourhoods and there's also paid street parking on St. Clair West. The restaurant is easy to miss because - well it doesn't look like a restaurant on the outside. Looking in, all you see is a large waiting room with wooden accents. For a place that only serves 6 people max at once, it's strange that the waiting area can seat almost double.The only thing separating the waiting and dining area is a folding screen.The dining area that the bar is facing is nice, but other than that the restaurant is pretty plainly decorated.FOOD: 3/5Food looks impressive right? The taste, not so much.They're smart to use unique/fancy plating to make the food look more instagrammable than its actual taste. The omakase was 12 pieces (including appetizers). This turned out to be 10 pcs sushi, with an steamed egg starter and.. RAMEN final course? The sushi in the omakase lacked the usual fan favourites such as Sea Urchin (Uni), Otoro (Fatty Tuna). The soy sauce and wasabi was very mild, leaving the taste of each piece a little bland. The last piece of sushi was a torched wagyu beef sushi, which ended up so torched I couldn't even taste the "wagyu" flavour at all. I guess it was more a show than for the taste? To finish it off, he served a small bowl of ramen, which washed away any remaining taste of sushi. SERVICE: 3/5One of the other yelp reviews mentioned that the chef said that he opened Kaito because omakase was trendy. I wouldn't be surprised at all, because despite it being omakase, the chef doesn't seem to put his heart in the dishes at all. Kaito pales in comparison to other japanese owned omakases that would use different types of soy sauce for different types of fish, and the wasabi per the person's liking. This chef didn't bother to even ask if we enjoyed the piece or not. Come here if you want the IG photos, but if you're picky about taste, I would skip this place.
Be the first to ReplySushi is my favourite food so I'm always on the hunt for
Sushi is my favourite food so I'm always on the hunt for the best hidden gem. This is one of Toronto's newest omakase and it is definitely worth a try. The experience is very intimate and the chef is very knowledgeable. You can tell he has lots of experience as a chef from the way he handles the fish and from what he says. He has worked with many great chefs and many different sushi restaurant after opening his own.The fish assortment ranges and is chef's choice, along with the price. The fish is very fresh and the chef tries different ingredients to pair with the fish that makes it tastes unique but very delicious. Overall I enjoyed the experience but I did feel a bit rushed. It was only my boyfriend and I in the restaurant so I can feel the chef waiting for us to eat, seeing our response and waiting to prepare the next thing. I would still recommend this place to sushi lovers and to people who haven't had an omakase experience before!
Be the first to ReplyThe ambience of the restaurant is quiet cozy seating around
The ambience of the restaurant is quiet cozy seating around 6-7 people. The starting steamed egg was very unique with added honey and red dates. The first scallop dish was also juicy and fresh (good start). The following dishes were unfortunately not as intriguing. The price for the omakase is cheaper than many in the area, but the price is still pretty steep for the amount that you get.
Be the first to ReplyI would rate this 3.
5. Really good value for omakase and sake pairing. 2 people for the cost of $200 taxed and tip in. If you have never had an omakase experience I would recommend coming here. Since my partner and I have been to a few omakase restaurants I would rate this slightly lower in comparison to other. Mind you the sushi chef was very nice and brings his own style to the sushi by incorporating fruit and citrus to many of pieces. The quality of fish were not as good in comparison to yasu, miku, Skippa and tora. Also you must eat with your hands but sushi rice is not as firm as I like. But I did enjoy the scallop, smoked salmon and Amber jack. The ambience was nice and intimate. You are seated right up at the bar and get a front view of the chef and food being prepped. They only opened 6 months ago so fairly new establishment.
