JaBistro

I have dined here three times now and each time it has been amazing. By far my children and my favourite sushi restaurant. We typically get the sashimi platter with an assortment of other items. Last time we ordered the aburi sushi for the first time and it was excellent. The fish is always fresh and prepared beautifully. The hosts and servers friendly and helpful. The price is what I would expect for the quality.

The food was delicious! The service was excellent and the team was very attentive. We ordered the following:

- Chef’s Choice
- Jabistroll
- Hotate Oshizushi
- Hamachi and Kampachi temaki (from the a la carte

We will be back!

This is one of the finest sushi restaurants in the entire city. One of the best meals I've had. Incredible flavour. It is expensive but also worth it. Service is endearing. Thanks Jabistro! Will be back!

Tres belle experience. Au bar comme au Japon. La salle un peu triste, cocktails moyens. Cher mais ok vu la qualité. Je conseille le poulet pané tartare facon japonaise et le classique black cod

Chef's choice sushi were sooooo good. Not good to share though, since you only get a piece of each. Had to get a 2nd plate lol. Jabistroll is really good value. You get a bit of everything. Ended up spending ~115 per person, I think it is pretty worth.

Absolutely delicious from the cocktails to the starters to the desserts. I wish I lived closer to come here all the time!

Been coming here for years. The food and service is ALWAYS consistent. A staple within the City for sushi.

Excellent! Les plats sont d’une qualité et texture incroyable. Un de meilleures restaurant japonais de Toronto.

Excellent food quality, especially with sashimi. All of the dishes we've had were very tasty, service was great, cocktails and desserts were awesome as well!
My favorites were; lobster furai, Jabistroll, hotate carpaccio, sashimi, black cod and panna cotta. Will definitely visit again!

Holy moly good food! Fresh fish, friendly people, fire cocktails! Went on a Monday a bit quite…but all together 8.9/10

Been going here for a couple of years now.
The standard of the food has been consistent as well as service.
We got the summerlicious deal which was $88 per person.
It was very filling.
Their aburi sushi is still delicious (best is their salmon IMO)
Their Wagyu was ok, I personally don't really like it in sushi but it was still good.
Their Gandara (miso black cod) is delicious and I would say a must try.
Definitely one of the best sushi spots in downtown Toronto.

Amazing food, amazing atmosphere. The oshi sushi is to die for, every single one of them. I know they put in soy sauce in every piece but I don't want to feel bad for asking for more soy sauce, especially if I'm forking out money out of my own pocket for It!

We got the dinner prix fixe (the 7 course extended option) and it was AMAZING. Everything was so fresh and perfectly seasoned. There was nothing we didn’t like. Even the panna cotta dessert was out of this world delicious (so refreshing with those berries). I feel like JaBistro is such a hidden gem, I use to casually pass by all the time. Now it’s definitely our favourite sushi spot. Great experience, great atmosphere, great service

Disappointed with the way our evening turned out. We tried to have dinner here on Saturday night. Made a reservation and knew we were going to be late. Called and had to leave a vm as they requested. When we arrived the host told us they’d given away our table and that their phone system wasn’t working so they didn’t get our vm.

I’d definitely recommend a different place if you want good sushi in case you are late for your reservation as there is no way to reach them and they will give your table away.

Based on my experience with the host, I’m sure this feedback will be ignored, but I wanted to warn others. I’ve been to this restaurant many times previously, and enjoyed to food, but this experience has totally turned me off the place.

Bummed about the patio not being open today, even though they sent an email about it: -/ and is pretty much the reason we came.

Service was absolutely amazing. So attentive and really pleasant. Food was top notch.

Hadn’t been back in a while but I am impressed. Will be back soon, if the damn patio will be open.

We had a phenomenal omakase at JaBistro! Every course was beautifully presented and so well thought out as to have every individual item shine, while still managing to make each flavour compliment one another so perfectly. The freshness of the fish was honestly amazing — especially the salmon and tuna. The fattiest tuna had a melty texture to it that instantly had me hooked. Both cocktails we ordered were also great, and the desserts were really delicious as well! I don’t have a single thing to say about the experience that isn’t overwhelmingly positive. For the price point, I absolutely feel like the omakase here was well worth the money. I’m so glad we tried it, and I’d happily do it again in the future!

If you’re going for two: lobster miso for each person, a Kyukyoku to share, and then each get an Aburicious per person. Although I will say I wish they’d swap back the ebi for the wagyu. The wagyu is just too thin then cooked to enjoy and doesn’t taste as special. If more people are dining with you, the Lobster Platter is awesome and comes with the miso soup.

If you’re not dining and doing takeout, the maguro don, sanshoku don, or salmon don are all stellar.

We just love Jabistro. There’s been a rise of Aburi spots but Jabistro is OG!

The best Japanese restaurant in Toronto. The premium sashimi platter is an absolute must, the freshest seasonal fish ever! Great service with fantastic vibes!

My daughter celebrated me and my husband’s birthday here. Tremendous Japanese food and awesome service! Like this place

Jabistro used to be our absolute favorite dining spot. The way they artfully present their raw fish and dishes is truly delightful, and their service always makes us feel warmly welcomed.

Used to come here on a biweekly basis pre-pandemic. The food is good, but the quality for dishes such as their sashimi platters no longer matches the high price tag they’re currently charging. However, I still enjoy getting the Kyukyoku and lobster miso soup! Tried their chawamushi too and it wasn’t bad.

There are better options in town. For me, the interior temperature was way to warm to enjoy sushi. It was melting down as soon as it was served and we all shared that it was too warm to enjoy the sushi. Only thing we liked about Jabistro were the service and environment. Not a fan of this place at all.
