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.

I experienced the lunch omakase. The highlights were the three different cuts of blue fin tuna and the beautifully scored ika - all fresh, flavourful, and beautifully presented. I felt welcomed by everyone. I highly recommend this gem in downtown.

Some pieces from my previous visit a month ago were not included, and I can tell less pricey fish was chosen for the day. Portion sizes seemed smaller the second time. Overall food was still great, but I felt that there was more cost cutting. Fantastic service and atmosphere. While $98 is considered affordable, it did feel more like a snack than a dinner.
