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 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 :)!

    Very unique style and a very attentive staff. I’ve tried several different omakase experiences and this ranks among the top. I’d come back. They were very caring with my dietary restrictions too.

    Elegant dining experience. Sashimi/fish was prepared and served right out of the fridge. The flavors would have benefitted from more time at room temp

    It will be much better if chef slows down a bit. The gap between each dish is a little too short for us.

    100% recommend Sushi Yugen. We did the one hour course and did not feel rushed. Incredibly high quality fish and felt this was fantastic value. Incredible hospitality from the front of the house along with the sushi chef who was warm and open to chatting - loved learning more about the fish he was serving. Cannot wait to go back!

    A truly amazing dining experience. The food was exceptional, the chef was kind and it was inspiring to watch him cook and prepare the meals in front of you. The support staff (especially Amy) was kind, helpful, and really helped to elevate the whole experience. My wife and I are already planning our next trip back to the restaurant.
