Kiyomi

We recently had the Tempura Omakase with Chef Saito, and it was an incredibly satisfying experience. Every course was thoughtfully prepared, but I especially fell in love with the soup, scallop, eel, shrimp, fish, wagyu, and the blueberry ice cream. The soup and ice cream are both homemade—the soup was light and smooth, while the ice cream offered a refreshing finish to the meal. The seafood and other ingredients are sourced directly from Japan, and you can truly taste the quality. One detail that stood out: they change the frying oil after serving each customer to ensure the tempura remains crisp and never too greasy. Overall, it was a memorable and well-curated dining experience. We're looking forward to trying their Sushi Omakase next time!

My first tempura omakase experience is great. Cozy, quiet and simple surroundings, friendly chef and staff. Almost all tempura pieces are great, the coating is not thick so you will not feel so heavy after dozens of pieces, among these 16 courses, my personal favorites are the scallop, which is crunchy outside and tender and juicy inside, no need any extra seasoning, it’s all about the freshness and sweetness of the scallop itself; the little whole fish, it’s so delicious, the meat is juicy and appropriately fatty, very flavorful even without seasoning; the sea urchin, fresh, sweet, reach, creamy, taste of the ocean, combined with the crunchy tempura, amazing; the sea eel, the texture is so good, firm but tender, juicy and flavorful, although i have to admit me and my friend we both felt a tiny bit heavy after this one. The other pirces are also good, so yeah i really enjoyed this experience, will revisit in the future.

Kiyomi’s omakase is a really special experience. The atmosphere feels calm and elegant, which makes the meal even more enjoyable. Each course is beautifully prepared and presented, with fresh ingredients that highlight the quality of the fish. The flavors are clean and delicate, and every bite feels thoughtful and balanced. The chef puts care into explaining the dishes, which makes the whole experience more personal. It’s not just a meal, but more like a food journey that leaves you satisfied without feeling too heavy. It’s a place worth visiting if you want something unique and memorable.

I love omakase; it’s such a unique experience every time. Omakase feels like a museum of all of the chef’s experience condensed into one meal, carefully curated. Each course is a work of art. My husband and I celebrated our anniversary at Kiyomi, and it was such a beautiful experience. The minimalist decor, the Joe Hisaishi soundtrack playing softly in the background, and the quick, efficient service created a tranquil atmosphere to enjoy watching Chef Katsumi work his magic. Every time I’ve had omakase, there’s always a standout piece that stays with me long after the meal. For this omakase, it was the ankimo with daikon radish. While I’ve had ankimo before, I’ve never had it presented in a way where the daikon cuts through the richness of the fish, and the addition of shiso (I think?) leaves a clean, refreshing aftertaste. I also loved the squid with mentaiko in the sashimi course. I’m usually not a fan of squid due to the chewiness, but this one was cut into small pieces, and the mentaiko added a subtle saltiness that elevated it to another level. Another favorite was the negitoro hand roll. I think part of my love for it comes from watching someone roll sushi with such expertise, but the quality of the fish was also outstanding. I love the attention to detail and the care they have for their craft. Plates were changed often, cleared quickly, and they asked about our preference for wasabi and whether we liked the amount. The dinner was well-paced and filling. At the end of the sushi courses, you can choose to add additional pieces if you are still hungry. I appreciated how innovative courses were interwoven with classic pieces, making this omakase equally enjoyable for both newcomers and seasoned omakase lovers alike. Thank you for a lovely anniversary dinner!

I came here with my husband last Saturday evening to celebrate his birthday. We had the tempura omakase. Our chef was extremely professional and also very friendly. He took time and care to present our food beautifully. We liked how he showed us the selection of foods we were going to eat before it was prepared for us. Throughout the meal, he would explain each item to us and how to best enjoy it. We had a variety of salts and a dipping sauce to enjoy each piece of tempura. My husband also got a cute birthday plate as dessert. Overall, the food all tasted great, everything was cooked very nicely, and all the staff were very attentive and courteous. We had a great time and would highly recommend!

The best tempura omakase and superior service! Ingredients fresh from Japan! Well worth the price. Our family of 6 had the best experience -start to finish! Thank you

Best Omakase lunch! For the price, it will be hard to find another omakase restaurant that will serve the same quantity and quality of food, especially in Toronto. Truly a great value! Space was intimate without feeling cramped. Great service. Thoroughly enjoyed my time here and would highly recommend.

Went here to celebrate my anniversary with my girlfriend. I loved the atmosphere and the detailed omakase course! I recommend not to use the soy sauce and the wasabi since the chef already puts them on the sushi pieces, which I think is the perfect amount.
