I was told this is a must visit for authentic sushi Omakase in Toronto. Located near St. Clair and Dufferin, with a very unassuming store front, it has to be your intended destination, or you'll miss it. The website kaitosushi.ca describes all the rules, seating...top of the hour; one hour to come, eat and go; payment in advance, etc. The price $55 is very reasonable. Even though I was told in advance about how good the quality of the sushi was, I was still very much impressed. Chef Kaito proudly stood next to a framed picture of his given name Kenshin meaning humble and trust. His name was very fitting, he was very humble and after spending a private (my friend and I only) one hour with him, I have total trust in his skills and expertise of a sushi chef. We were each served 12 quality sushis: scallops, snapper, tuna belly, mackerel etc. Chef brushed on the specially prepared soy sauce, wasabi and other spices, and we ate with our fingers. The sushi bar only had 8 stools, and there were no other tables. It was very cozy and chef gave us his full attention. I felt like I was in Japan. Yes the excellent quality and taste of the sushi also gave the feeling of being in Japan. I echo my friend's recommendation. If you love sushi, you must visit Kaito.
