    I really love JaBistro’s menu and their ability to pace the tasting menu and allow me and my partner to enjoy dinner and conversation for our anniversary. They really know how to take care of people here. I would love to come back to Toronto just to get to try the sushi counter experience.

    We got the lunch tasting menu for $88 and it did not disappoint. The fish was super fresh and it was good value. The presentation was also immaculate. The staff is super attentive and always came by to check in on us. We went for a birthday and they came by with a Polaroid and helped us take a souvenir photo. Overall, it was a very good and memorable experience!

    First time at JaBistro My partner and I love Japanese food , and found the quality and freshness of the fish unparalleled anywhere in the city. The pre- seasoned dishes were something new for us, and have to say the Chefs were spot on, extremely flavourful, beautifully presented For starters we had the blue fin tuna belly and scallop hand rolls , both well done and a nice start For mains we ordered the tiger shrimp and scallop rolls which were seasoned to perfection and perhaps best Tiger shrimp we have had. Well done. We are not dessert fans so skipped this but the pannacotta and sorbet looked very good and well presented. Our server Sophia was very attentive and accommodating. Overall i rate this restaurant a 4.3/5 , I would rate higher if there was more selection.
