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.

    Just a wonderful omakase option in the financial district. Very good quality fish and perfectly executed. Fair price, $80 for 10 pieces plus a soup and hand roll. Depending on the day, they sometimes surprise you with an extra piece at the end. Highly recommended if you are a omakase lover and looking for a quick option at lunch. Seatings are done at 11:30/12:30/1:30 and they can get you in and out in an hour.

    Great experience, blue shrimp, uni and Toro were our favorite. We took two sake pairings. The only constructive feedback is that with the pairing, the meal and everything's goes to fast in 60 minutes. Despite that, we loved it

    This was my second time there and they didn’t disappoint. When I was there for first time, I made a mental note to return with my son who is a huge fan of sushi. The menu was exquisite as the first time but unlike me, my son has a more refined palate for sushi pieces, and he was marvelled by the quality of each bite. He quickly complimented the rice as the key difference that makes this place a Michelin worthy restaurant. He also pointed out the delicates notes of the wasabi (which he quickly recognized as the real wasabi root and not the European horseradish paste commonly used in most sushi places), and even details like the gorgeous boxes where they store the sushi nori or the uri, or the quality of the knives. Suffice to say he was pleased and impressed so was I enjoying the sushi that melts in your mouth. I can’t recommend this place enough, it is a no brainer and we are very lucky to have this level of restaurant in Toronto.

    I enjoyed the omakase experience at Sushi Yugen. I received a warm welcome and the customer service was impeccable. The fish was fresh and delicate, the side dishes / appetizers were tasty and the pacing was great. Good value as well.
