Yasu is Canada's first Omakase sushi bar. We celebrates the ocean’s best catches and the craft of sushi in its award-winning Toronto eatery; dishes created by Executive Chef and Owner Yasu Ouchi from Osaka, Japan. There is only one menu at Yasu; Omakase style at $195 per person, a Japanese tradition wherein Chef Yasu creates a new menu daily based on the freshest and seasonal seafood available from around the world. The Omakase course consists of approximately 20 items including a kaiseki plate, soup,
selection of seasonal nigiri and dessert. . An 18% service fee will be added to each bill. Any further tipping or gratuity is not expected. We look forward to hosting you!

Cancellation Policy:
For reservations of 4 guests or fewer, cancellations, no-shows, or reductions in party size within 48 hours will be charged the full Omakase price plus tax per person. For reservations of more than 4 guests, we require at least 1 week’s notice to avoid cancellation fees.

First omakase experience and Yasu did not disappoint. Very fresh, high quality food. Liked that they described each piece of sushi. It sets the standard of omakase for me.

Has gluten free options if you let them know ahead of time. While there is cross contamination, they do rinse their hands and wipe their boards in between. Sushi was great, explained the dishes, fun to watch.

I’ve been coming to Yasu since 2014. The quality of the food and service is impeccable and had never gone downhill over the years. In my opinion it is the best, and most authentic omakase experience in Toronto.

We love dining at Yasu as a family, especially our daughter who we take for celebratory occasions. We are transported to Japan when we are there and miss Japan, particularly when I cannot see my family as often as I can.

We go to Yasu when we need to eat good omakase . Out visits are twice per year as they serve different fish based on the season. Well presented , fresh and tasty.
