Affordable Omakase with good service and a reasonably priced sake tasting flight that pairs wonderfully.

Excellent, traditional Omakase. The chef was extremely talented and the cuts were incredible. Went here for my birthday, and they were very kind and accommodating even though we had our young daughter with us. Highly recommend.

I am very lucky because this is my first omakase in Canada. All the sushi was soft and chewy and melted in my mouth. In particular, the odoro, smoked salmon, shrimp, eel, and even the separately added uni were really delicious. It may have been more delicious because it was the first time in almost half a year that I had sushi other than salmon or tuna. I was very satisfied overall. I also had peach sake and it was really good.

I'm glad I had my first omakase at Kaito Sushi! All of the sushi I had were delicious and so fresh. The chef was friendly and was very open to answer questions about the food he was serving. Also, I tried their yuzu and peach sake - I definitely recommend the yuzu sake (I love yuzu!). It is a little pricey, but it is worth it! I am including pictures of my top 3 favourites (it was hard to choose): lean tuna (1st pic), medium fat tuna (2nd pic), and fatty tuna (3rd pic).P.S. You can order additional sushi at the end of the omakase. Just ask the chef!

My second Omakase experience, and my partner's first! Overall we had a great time. We found the experience very relaxing as they have soothing music playing in the background, and the chef was very meticulous with his movements. Includes some favourites like chuutoro and otoro, as well as some nice touches like freshly hickory-smoked salmon. The hojicha and ruby rose green teas were nice to have with it as well.As far as value for money goes, I do think this is decent value for money. For two people and tea, after tax and tip it came out to about $220.Would recommend trying for sure, nice "entry-level" Omakase in my opinion for those that haven't tried one before!

It was my first time visiting a Omakase sushi restaurant and I must say, I was completely impressed!The food and service were TERRIFIC. I have never tasted fish as fresh as Kaito Sushi.Touching on other negative reviews - It is vital to the experience to show up on time as the sushi is prepared in front of your eyes and eaten upon serving; This is at no fault of the restaurant.Thank you :)

Had an amazing experience at Kaito Sushi. I highly recommend for all sushi lovers to try the omakase at Kaito. It was such an intimate experience and really creates a mindful eating experience where every bit is savoured. It was our first omakase and I’m glad we had it at Kaito. The sushi was so fresh and the fish melted in our mouths. Our favourites were the smoked salmon, tuna and eel however we loved everything served to us! High quality ingredients were used in every course. I also had the rose tea which was so fragrant. The chef was very knowledgeable and friendly. Protip: the restaurant only takes reservations so book well ahead of time! Weekends may book up over a month in advance so plan accordingly. Also AMEX is not accepted

UPDATE TO ADD because i couldn’t respond: the response from the restaurant is misleading. We asked what could be done since it was not possible to come 20 minutes later- default response was lose the money, we asked for alternatives (different day or takeout) as we mentioned we had a small baby and we couldn’t go out super late because of that. After my husband was pleading with them - he had them on speaker, they said we should either forfeit the reservation and pay almost 200 dollars or go at 9:30 pm. They also said their space couldn’t accommodate with the baby and just seemed eager to take our money without providing any service. AVOID THIS PLACESave your money for actual good omakase in jcc or Kaji or have better sushi for a fraction of the price at nami or Hana don. Rice was sour. Mind you, Had to do takeout because they would not allow us to arrive 20 min later than the reservation time -we called to ask as our sitter was running late due to unforeseen circumstances. Called the restaurant to explain the situation and they were inflexible and unkind about it, sadly. They just wanted to charge us without coming. We insisted that they allow is to do take out and they finally accepted. Received the sushi and it was ok, not worth the price tag. The final disappointment was the use of smoked salmon for a roll. Overall a bad experience

I almost hate reviewing because it would mean it will get harder to book.This place is a hidden gem!Great omakase that makes you feel pleasantly full on your way out and not too light in your pocket.I also look forward to having the Nest lager beer.
