MSSM Yorkville

An exceptional omakase experience from start to finish. Each dish offered something unique and the dishes definitely bring out the personality of the chefs and restaurant. The ingredients used were definitely fresh and well prepared, each dish offering a bit of a twist from tradition. The course also starts off with a hand roll and finishes with a soup, which normally would be the other way around in more traditional omakase. The service was wonderful and the chef Bo who served us was amazing and took time to explain the foods and some of the concept to us throughout the meal, allowing us to appreciate the food more. The ambiance is relaxed and the restaurant has a modern interior and look. Great food and experience, highly recommended to visit

We recently visited MSSM in Yorkville for their omakase experience, and it truly exceeded our expectations. From the moment we were seated, the atmosphere felt intimate and thoughtfully curated. Our sushi chef was warm and welcoming, making us feel instantly at ease while remaining attentive to every detail, not just for us but for the entire counter. She guided us through each course with care, sharing her knowledge behind every piece. Watching each sushi being carefully prepared right in front of us added to the magic—it felt personal, intentional, and deeply engaging. The omakase experience at MSSM wasn’t just a meal, but a beautifully paced dining journey. Their menu came with a pickled radish toro handroll, Katsuo as the appetizer and ten different sushi rolls - Madai, Kampachi, Hotate, Kurodai, Zuke Salmon, Akami, Toro, Anago, Dashimaki, Miso soup and desserts. Overall, it was a lovely dining experience. We appreciated how each piece was served individually, allowing us to truly savour the flavours. Every sushi bite was incredibly fresh, and the quality was evident throughout. Definitely worth the money.

My husband took me here for my birthday recently. We went for the 2pm lunch service. We were blown away by the level of service and the flavors. Much of their fish is from Japan and you can definitely tell from the flavors. The chef clearly knew his stuff and it was mesmerizing seeing him create each masterpiece. Oh and that matcha cake at the end was amazing.

I went in with modest expectations, but unfortunately the overall experience still fell short. The attention to detail was lacking — there were no clean plates provided between courses, some of the presentation felt sloppy, and the dishes didn't really showcase individual artistry from the chef. I was also disappointed by the absence of seasonal ingredients, which is usually a key part of a strong omakase experience. Considering we're in Toronto and not Japan, some differences are understandable. That said, Toronto has no shortage of excellent sushi options, whether you're looking for AYCE or à la carte. Compared to what's available locally, this omakase doesn't really stand out. In my opinion, the experience simply isn't at the level that justifies the price, and you're better off dining elsewhere — but that's just my personal take. However, if you’re looking to try an omakase experience for the first time and at a decent price point, go for it. Still makes for a nice date night.

I was really looking forward to dining at MSSM Yorkville after seeing so many positive reviews, but unfortunately my experience was quite disappointing. I want to start by highlighting the service, because the chef in particular was excellent. The chef was polite, attentive, and constantly checking in to ask how everything was tasting. They took the time to explain each piece of sushi in detail, including what it was, the type of fish, and how it was prepared, which I genuinely appreciated. The chef also kindly asked multiple times if my friend and I wanted to try anything additional, but we declined. From a service and hospitality standpoint, the experience at the counter was very well done. Unfortunately, the quality of the food itself is where things fell apart. The fish was extremely underwhelming and, quite honestly, unpleasant. Everything tasted overly fishy, lacking freshness and balance. This wasn’t limited to the sushi alone. Even the green tea dessert had a fishy taste, which was very odd and made the ending of the meal even more disappointing. It just wasn’t enjoyable. For an omakase experience, I expect clean, refined flavours and fish that feels fresh and thoughtfully sourced. Instead, I found myself forcing bites simply to avoid seeming rude at the table. Rather than looking forward to each course, I couldn’t wait for the experience to be over. At nearly $100 per person, the value simply wasn’t there. I’ve had better sushi at all you can eat restaurants for half the price, and I don’t even consider all you can eat sushi to be good for the most part. That comparison alone speaks volumes. While I truly appreciated the chef’s kindness, professionalism, and the effort put into explaining each course, the poor quality and strong fishy taste of the food made this experience unenjoyable. Because of that, I wouldn’t return.

🔥 "OMG, where has this sushi gem been all my life?! 🍣 Chefs in training for Michelin stars = expect perfection, and boy did we get it! 🤯 Mixed course menu was a wild ride: pickled radish hand roll, sea bream appetizer, sushi parade, miso soup, and matcha-chocolate dessert heaven 😋. Everything was incredible. Ambience? Intimate & vibey. Plum sake was _dreams_ - floral, tart, smooth (if you know, you know 🍶). Had an incredible night with my llove ❤️😍. 10/10 would die for this sushi again 🥳 #SushiGoals #MichelinVibes"

This was the best and most reasonably priced omakase I’ve ever had. The fish was incredibly fresh, the service was very friendly, and most of all, Alex was amazing. It’s a place I definitely want to come back to. Thank you so much, Alex!

First omakase experience and it certainly met expectations and more! The staff were lovely, attentive and made it a memorable meal. We were delighted to be served by Chef Ken who was gracious enough to share his knowledge about omakase sushi. We enjoyed everything on the menu with standouts being the Hotate, Akami, and Toro. For the price, it’s excellent value if you’re wanting to try an elevated sushi experience. Arigato gozaimashita 🙏🏽
