Nelson: The parade of sushi came fast and furious. We begin with octopus that had wasabi flavouring. It had great texture, not mushy, not too hard, not too chewy. Just smooth octopus. We were instructed to not have any soy sauce with this. Next came the spot prawn. Hard to tell from the picture, but it was quite large. The spot prawn meat was lightly sweet and overall very fresh tasting. It had a lot of yuzu as well which I found a tad excessive. It was great overall though.
This was a really great meal. Fun and inventive, it reminded me of eating in Japan. Although not quite as good as Japan with a few risks taken, which although not necessary successful, are welcome. Kitty complained that the earlier sushi had too much wasabi, but I thought it was fine. The chef adjusted for subsequent sushi on Kitty's plate. I haven't had a true omakase experience in Toronto before, so having a restaurant like this in Toronto is appreciated. I recommend Sushi Kaji, a unique experience for an unique experience in Toronto.

Since it was our first visit, the takumi ($130) experience was in order. Instead of miso, Kaji presents a bowl of smoky butternut squash soup; a light consistency yet still incorporating a strong powerful flavour. While the broth was fantastic, the chicken meatball was rather neutral and needs to be enjoyed with the soup.

As the salads are presented, we’re advised the dressings are on the side so we can customize the potency of the flavours … of course, I ended up adding everything. Thankfully, the sugary sweetness of typical seaweed salads was missing, instead, Kaji pairs the seaweed with lemon miso that’s enhanced by slightly sweet radish slices.

Meanwhile, the daikon salad pays homage to the legendary Japanese knife skills – impossibly thinly sliced and crispy, so refreshing with a creamy sesame dressing.

The salad was a great cleanser before the sashimi. With a dusting of lemon rind on the sea bream and amberjack, the white neutral fish were refreshing. While both these fish are somewhat soft, the Spanish mackerel has a harder fleshy texture having a crunchiness to it, if fish could be crunchy.

Surprisingly, Kaji’s sashimi incorporates rich pieces of tuna belly, generally reserved for sushi, which melts in the mouth and best left as the last fish you’ll eat. The relatively large slices of octopus are tender, but left plain so you can still taste the seafood’s sweetness.

While the satsuma age, a deep fried seafood cake incorporating pieces of octopus and a slight zing from ginger, was tasty, it was the potato salad (yes, you heard right) that was outstanding. Instead of the typical chunks, Kaji shreds the

Worth a Michelin star. Great Japanese meal (not just Sushi). Counter seating makes the ambience, otherwise don’t expect to be floored by décor. An overall stellar experience and absolute must for any fan of Japanese cuisine. Easily one of Toronto's best restaurants, period.

Great place to go for a special meal. I love sushi but this place is nothing like you've had before. It's chef's choice, so you are at his mercy. The combinations were out of this world. I'd never had and since have never had Japanese food like this. Quite pricy and small portions, but it's all about savouring the flavours.

Thirty-five years ago, Mitsuhiro Kaji came to Canada. Fifteen years ago he opened his ideal restaurant, Sushi Kaji. Each trip here is a culinary experience. Our first visit was in 2006 and we have returned many times since. He believes the secret of good sushi and sashimi is to always select the best ingredients, and never compromise on the quality. On both counts he absolutely excels. Quite often he serves fish that he has purchased from the fish market in Tokyo which is delivered in the morning and served that same evening.

Sushi Kaji is well known in Toronto for chef Mitsuhiro Kaji's skills in the kitchen (and, if you sit at the bar, right in front of your table).

There's no à la carte menu here; instead, the restaurant serves food omakase style. The tasting menu sushi is all the chef's creations and varies by the night. Luckily, you're in good hands—Kaji's concoctions are both creative and delicious.

Highlighting any particular dish would miss the point, as going to Kaji's is all about a unique experience, but past selections include lily bulb cake, torched scallop with fresh wasabi, duck soup, octopus, deep fried monkfish karage, and simpler but amazing selections like eel and fantastic toro.

It's rather expensive but visiting Sushi Kaji is a great once-in-a-while treat.

Kaji is a true, hidden gem. Tucked into a small strip mall on The Queensway, it's very easy to miss unless you know it's there.

There is no a la carte menu, only the Mariowase. Kaji gets daily shipments of fish from Tokyo harbour, and the menu is based on what came off the boat. Because of this, the menu is never the same twice, so each visit is a new experience.

Chef Kaji has a creative touch, and the dishes look as good as they taste.

A great place to celebrate special occasions, or just to splurge on a really great meal.

One of the very few authentic Japanese restaurants in the GTA with a real sushi chef. Great food. Traditionally the meal changes according to what is in season and the chef does a great job to reflect this. Service is good. It's a set menu. Pricey but worth it ($300 for 2 people).

“The fish melts in my mouth”- that’s how amazing Kaji is. My partner and I came here for our three years anniversary and it was a highlight of our celebration. Every single dish is so spectacular- it’s an eatable art! Chef Kaji is very fun to work with! He is so kind and has a brilliant sense of humour- the whole team made our experience so wonderful It’s worth the price! Please don’t miss out!

Loved the experience here! The sushi was delicious. Each fish had a very soft texture throughout and we were told which pieces to eat without dipping soy sauce. We had about 8 sushi pieces and 6 pieces of sashimi and we ordered the Wagyu. All of which were extremely well put together and I was very full by the end of the meal. For parking, there's free Green P street parking on weekends.

Jesse Lau

Food was great, but nothing amazing or exceptional. Could have been a more personal experience with the chef regardless of where guests were seated at the bar. Bar seating ambiance could be better if the cleaning sink was covered with a plank of wood or cutting board.

During the lockdown period, suddenly i want to crave for some nice sushi and sashimi. Sushi Kaji never disappointed me. Ordered their sushi and sashimi set, and Unagi Don. The sushi and sashimi set definitely worth the price. All types of sashimi are fresh, the portion is good enough for one person. The Unagi Don is really good, but the portion is really small compare to some other authentic Japanese restaurants. Definitely recommend Sushi Kaji, especially with the omakase experience dine in.

Wonderfully quaint restaurant which feels like a private dining setting. Sitting at the bar, watching the master work is an experience. Daily imported fish from Tokyo Bay. Exquisite flavours and presentation. Great for a special occasion.

Jacqueline Flores

Absolutely worth every penny. This place was amazing. I felt my life change, haha! My fiancé and I decided to treat ourselves out as our Christmas gifts for this year and we had no regrets with coming here. Every dish we were given was delicious. They guide you on what each dish contains and how to eat it. I would list all the foods we had but there were so many dishes and names I could get down. I’ve attached some pictures. Sadly I missed taking pictures of two dishes - one of them being my absolute favourite, the scallop sushi! We were also too immersed in the process. We chose to sit at the sushi bar so we could be close to the action. It was amazing seeing the sushi chefs prepare our foods and see all the work that gets put into it. Made us appreciate our food even more. I could go on and on, but I truly recommend this spot. The ambiance is great and I enjoyed putting a smile on the chefs faces. My fiancé and I are already planning to return next year! Hahaha!

My all time favourite sushi restaurant in Toronto. Pricey?...yes! Worth it?...definitely. What gives it 5 stars for me...the simplicity and tradition combined with a hint of innovation in the dishes they produce. The sashimi and sushi are also very fresh. It might seem like the portions look small, but the full course meal had us satisfied and feeling full.

Vay

Overall it was a good experience. The sushi and sashimi were very fresh and delicious. The warm sake was also very good. The service was also great. The only issue for me personally, was that for some of the sushi, very strong herbs were used and not the flavour profile I usually enjoy. If you are driving here, come early to find spaces. The parking lot beside the restaurant is not theirs, so it's street parking only.
