Sushi Yūgen offers an authentic omakase experience, crafted by Head Chef Kyohei Igarashi, who brings expertise from Tokyo, mastering both kaiseki and sushi, including leading a Michelin-starred omakase counter.

Our restaurant features two dining experiences: an 8-seat Chef’s counter (Wed-Sat) and a 12-seat main sushi counter (Mon-Sat), each with unique menus.

Located in Toronto’s financial district, Sushi Yūgen embraces Japanese minimalism and wabi-sabi, celebrating beauty in imperfection and nature’s cycles. Our name, Yūgen, signifies ‘profound mystery and beauty,’ reflecting our philosophy.

Why they're an Icon

Executive chef: Kyohei Igarashi

From the OpenTable editors: Hidden in a Financial District office building, this Japanese gem nabbed a spot on Canada's 100 Best Restaurants list less than a year after it opened. Choose from an 18- to 20-course feast at an eight-seat counter or set menus in the dining room. Either way, you'll experience the omakase chops of chef Kyohei Igarashi, who has honed his craft at high-end sushi and kaiseki restaurants in Japan.

    Came to celebrate our anniversary and my partners birthday, it was a real unique experience the sushi was incredible and both the chef and our server were so knowledgeable and engaged. The place had a calm vibe and was really worth the price. While we knew the dining experience would be over and done with quickly it would have been good to have something to make more of the night as it did fly by.

    Wonderful ambiance and great date/friends night out! The sushi chef was very kind and explained each fish or dish to us! Loved the intimate vibes! The servers were also very friendly. I wrote that it was a friend’s birthday in the reservation, and they provided a little candle on the dessert with a peach drink free of charge! Would go back for a special occasion!

    Waited an extra 10 mins to get in after our appointment time. the sushi/pieces and quality are very low for the 85/head charge, no otoro, no uni, no ebi, overall bad value and very mediocre taste. also no dessert.

    Overall experience was great for an omakase at $98/person for an hour. Check in was easy and quick, they took our jacket, sat us down, confirmed our drinks, then started the course. Food and quality of ingredients is something you can’t get at a regular sushi joint or all you can eat. They were on point with the scheduling, including the billing and giving back our jackets, all done within an hour. Good place to start an omakase experience.

    We chose the counter omakase menu due to time constraints (only 60 min). We were seated with 10 other guests and there were 2 chefs with our group. It was an all sushi menu (plus miso soup and dessert) and amazing! Each nigiri was delicious and prepared with a different “flavor/taste”. It was a perfect setting with attentive service for a birthday celebration. I highly recommend this restaurant and the counter omakase, and we will be returning for the special chef omakase on another occasion!

    A bit pricey for the chefs counter but I also view it kind of like a concert! Amazing to witness chef working so hard and experiencing his signature Abalone.

    I always wanted to have an omakase experience! Most experiences cost so much money, so I love that Sushi Yugen makes it so accessible. From the moment I got to the restaurant the staff were so kind and friendly! Their amazing service and hospitality made me feel so special on my birthday. Would love to give the chefs table a try in the future :)!
