My partner has wanted to experience an omakase for awhile, so I surprised him with a reservation at Kaito—it was a first omakase experience for us both and it was so amazing!! Chef was very kind, and it was really fun watching him prep each course for us. Each fish was so fresh and delicious, I even splurged for my partner to try the uni for a little extra, and he said it was his favorite course! The pricing was extremely worth the experience, and I would love to come back again!

What a fantastic experience! Having had the good fortune to have OMAKASE in a number of different cities, I can honestly say that the combination of tradition and value is unmatched. Plus, it was fun and not stuffy at all.
My only wish is that they were in BLOOR WEST!

What a fabulous and authentic Omakase experience! We have enjoyed many fine Omakase offerings in Toronto and around the world, and were skeptical about the quality of the delivery we would experience given the reasonable price point. We were absolutely delighted with every aspect of the meal - very fresh fish, proper rice seasoning and ratio, the finest sourcing (scallop and uni from Hokkaido!), beautifully paired garnishes and an intimate, customer focused setting. Highly recommended for anyone who wants to experience authentic Omakase at what is indeed the city's best high-end sushi pricing.

I am forced to eat a lot of sushi with lawyers and business people. It's boring. When I look for creativity so few Omakase places under $150 do not bring the creativity and most of all EXPERIENCE. We got what we came for, and more than we paid for. This is a true Omakase experience with delicious food and a quiet beautiful, intimate setting. 10 / 10, will be back!

The atmosphere isn't stuck up like some places. If you love sushi, I highly recommend Kaito. It's miles ahead of 99% of the sushi restaurants in Toronto.
Every piece of sushi I had was fresh and delicious, and the service was attentive. The chef is friendly, inventive and highly skilled.

Incredible experience transforming you right into Japan. One of the best values you can get for the quality !
My only slight comment is that I’d love more traditional style Japanese music or ambiance. Didn’t want to hear radio personally as it hindered the immersive experiences
Still a 10/10!!

I've eaten at most of the popular omakase places in the GTA with an offering below $250/person as well as many within the San Francisco Bay area. Different people like different things, but for an omakase option I'd want to do regularly, Kaito is pretty much perfect for me.
At the more expensive places you tend to get a wider variety of courses (soups, egg creations, caviar dishes, fried lotus root, etc). I would still go to a more expensive place once or twice a year for that greater variety, but what I love the most is delicious melt-in-your-mouth nigiri and Kaito delivers that in spades for an incredibly reasonable price.
It's a nice quiet little restaurant with simple but elegant decorations. The chef and staff are very friendly and create a laid back atmosphere focused on the meal. I've been twice now, once with 6 or so members of my extended family and once just with a single friend. I'd say it's more fun if you know everyone sitting at the bar like in the first case, but both were still excellent experiences.
I thoroughly enjoyed every course, and like that you get the option to order more of what you like at the end.
The smoked salmon nigiri is amazing, I haven't had anything like it anywhere else. The salmon is not cooked like you'd typically expect with smoked salmon, it's cold smoked under a glass dome. Thus it retains the texture and taste of salmon sushi but picks up a subtle smoke flavor like pecan wood BBQ. As someone who isn't a fan of typical smoked salmon (highly pungent and "fishy"), it is a revelation. It stands out to the point where I think I'd have to pick it as my favorite even over the chu-toro.
If I was forced to think of SOMETHING to improve, all I can think of is:
1) Have more smoked salmon to order at the end (though I totally recognize that may not be practical)
2) Have an o-toro offering, even if it's just an optional add-on like the nice uni on offer.
Thanks for a wonderful night, I'll be coming back with more frie

I brought my dad here for his birthday. We both really enjoyed the experience - the chef was great and the food was delicious. It wasn't *a lot* of food, but we left feeling satiated. My only suggestion would be to improve the ambiance with better lighting and to play better music - the mainstream Christmas music just didn't fit with the experience, perhaps traditional Japanese music would have been more appropriate. I would definitely recommend coming here to try omakase for a reasonable price (my bill came to just over $200 with tip one tea and one soda).

Went for an omakase experience last night and it exceeded expectations. The chef was incredibly knowledgeable and personable, guiding us through the meal while preparing each course right in front of us. There’s something special about watching the precision and care that goes into every piece before it’s served, and I appreciated being able to chat with the chef throughout the evening.
The standout was the freshness of the ingredients. The fish(sea brim and sea bass) was exceptional, and the scallops and eel were absolute highlights. You could really taste the quality in every bite. Service was also on point. The young lady taking care of drinks was attentive without being overbearing.
I paired the meal with sake flights, finishing with a refreshing yuzu citrus sake to cleanse the palate.
The space itself is very low-key, no frills or flashy design but honestly, that’s not why you go. The food completely speaks for itself and outshines everything else. Overall, a fantastic experience and very reasonably priced for the quality delivered.
I'll definately be returning back with friends.

My family, a group of all ages (25-65) thoroughly enjoyed our omakase dinner. The food was excellent, the staff friendly, polite and attentive. Variety and quantity of food was perfect. Ambiance was nice but could use a little warming up. Dim, lights, add some plants. Great value for the quantity and pricing. Thank you again.

We noticed that the chef was interacting mostly with one couple out of the 8 customers there. The environment was a bit too warm and stuffy.

Standard fixed menu is excellent and good value. Add on elements were comparatively expensive which would discourage guests from ordering more. Also the high chairs at the bar are not easy to navigate and not comfortable.
Think about making the entrance area - currently just a waiting area - into a more welcoming space where people can read about the food experience they are about to have.

Fantastic meal & fantastic service. It's hard to find Omakase in this city that isn't way too expensive and this place is perfect for a great meal at a reasonable price point. Would go back.

The chef was very nice and courteous. It was little sweet for me for some reason. I think I am spoiled as I had omakase in Japan.
Overall, it was a really good experience for all of us. I really loved the plug-in pot (hot sake, not sure what it's called) version! Soooo fancy. I really liked ponzu soy sauce with scallions. I would defintely go back when the covid numbers are lower

If the menu can add dessert(tamago, cake or ice cream) it would be perfect. I would love to eat uni sushi~~ Also, I expected dining time to be a bit longer, felt a little rushed even tho we were late 20 mins. The fish was fresh and it went really well with the rice. The sushi omakase price was reasonable compared to a lot of omakases out there. Will definitely go back! Chef can try to interact with customers more!

Quality of the fish for the omakase for the cost is likely the best value you would get in the city! Area of improvement would be service. It is normally standard to offer water and chopsticks where this was secondary. If this is the practice for Kaito, then it would be appreciated if there was an introduction with a small comment on it to "feel free to order water or request chopsticks". Overall, would recommend for anyone and come again!

Thank you. Delicious! Small fixes; better lighting (more dim in the dining room with focused lighting on the chef's cutting board / 'performance area'). Fix up the stairway and bathrooms. Overall, a great dining experience!

Website said there was appetizers but there was none. We only had sushi. And at the end of the dinner they said there’s yuzu sorbet for dessert. They started with the billing and when I asked about it, they said there was no dessert? I was confused. Overall, the sushi was great and the service was good.

Great value and great service. Food was OK - first time having Omakase - if you're driving for the first time, parking is a hassle. There is a Green P, with $4 (all night) parking after 6 pm. And some street parking available - would be good to have clearer parking instructions.

Sushi was excellent as was the service. Place needs some improvements in terms of ambiance. Better lighting. Better use of large space.
Food-wise though...superb!

The overall experience was excellent. We were disappointed with the food having been to other omakase. Disappointed there was very little creativity with the courses, it was fish on rice. The fish was sliced too thin, many of them had very mild taste so in one bite you only taste the rice. Disappointed there were no steamed egg or other unique dishes. Disappointed there was no dessert. Enjoyed the ambiance and the quietness of eating with a small group.

The sushi tasted pretty good. However, we felt the chef could be more innovative to come up with different ways to season the difference pieces of sushi rather than just soy sauce. This makes all the different courses of sushi to taste almost the same. The sauce was also a bit too salty, which masked up the flavours of the fish.

Overall, the experience was good, though I would counsel eaters to stick with the prix fixe menu and avoid add-ons. The sushi itself was amazing and it was a unique experience.
The sushi was fantastic, with one exception: the Uni (sea urchin) was served improperly, which ruined it. To wit: it was served straight out of the icebox at almost freezing temperature, so it tasted like I was eating an ice cube. At $18 a piece I would expect it to be served properly. I remarked on the extreme coldness of the fish to the chef and how it made it hard to taste, he told me that the uni spoils quickly which is why it's stored so cold. I didn't wish to press the issue with a guest present, but it would have been appropriate for the chef to correct his mistake and offer a second portion after letting it warm enough to taste, or to remove that item from our bill.
The ambiance left something to be desired, it's my opinion that the restaurant could stand to invest a bit in interior decoration as well as cleaning and maintenance. The washrooms needed a once over, and there was a fire alarm with a low battery which chirped every thirty seconds throughout the entire meal. I informed bot the hostess & the chef multiple times about the chirping fire alarm, and they thanked me kindly for informing them, but did not seem to understand that I was asking them to go fix it. In short, they're very good at making sushi here (with one exception), little attention is payed to aught else.
I'd go again, but this time I'll avoid the add-ons and come prepared with some AAA batteries so I can dine in peace.

Food was flavourful although there was sand in my scallop sushi...I thought there was 12 pieces of sushi but I can only counted 11 including the appetizer (My count can be wrong though). $18 for a small piece of uni sushi is also a bit too pricy.

chef has nice techniques and the way the food is prepared is very innovating, but the affordable price also means some of the fish are not the highest grades. also since we are the only two dinning at the time, the close proximity to the chef felt a little bit rushed. however, great bang for your buck if you have never had omakasi before

The sushi was fresh and delicious, and the service was wonderful and attentive. However, I did not feel full at the end of the course and left unsatisfied (and I am the type of person who gets full easily and never finishes a meal, so I cannot imagine how others must’ve felt). While it was delicious, the sushi pieces were very small and felt like they were snack-sized portions (with very little rice and thinly sliced fish). I understand the price per person is less than other sushi omakase restaurants in Toronto, but I would still expect a full meal for $100 per person. I would still return, but next time will eat something in advance prior to the dinner.

Food and sushi chef was excellent. Service was bad. Not because server was rude or anything just missing basic things.
If you are going to make us use hands only at least offer an Oshibori Towel at the beginning. Secondly, there were no napkins provided which was odd. Finally, no water was offered either tap or bottled only tea or alcohol. Small things like that would have brought service to a solid 8/10. All the best!
