About
Sushi Kaji has served an omakase-only menu on The Queensway in Etobicoke since 2000. Chef-owner Mitsuhiro Kaji, trained in Japan, built the restaurant's reputation on a long prix-fixe tasting that pairs kaiseki-style cooked courses with edomae nigiri. It is considered one of Canada's most important sushi restaurants and one of the first to introduce formal omakase to Toronto.

Sushi Kaji sits in Etobicoke (The Queensway), one of Toronto's neighborhoods where authentic Japanese kitchens have taken root. Reservations are available online — for a focused sushi counter this is strongly recommended. Check the posted hours before you go — traditional sushi restaurants often close between service periods.
