Skippa

Our experience at Skippa was very good overall. We decided to got for the Trust Skippa menu at $120 pp. Our favourite part of the menu was definitely the sushis. The rest was also tasty but not as great. I would say that overall out of the 13 bites we loved 5, we liked 5. In our opinion 120$ is a bit too expensive also because if you add extra bites to taste their special it becomes a 200-240$/pp meal with alcohol. The goods: high quality of products mainly coming from Japan, and not just the fish, take time to taste the rest and smell your bite before eating it :) The staff is attentive; your tea and water is always full. Sit at the bar; it’s great to see them work and pay so much attention to details. All of them. Some things they could improve: they remove the plates too fast. Sometimes as we were eating our bite, the waitress was behind us ready to pick up the plates. The wine selection is too limited. I know... we should drink sake, but offering only 3 choices of white wines by the glass compared to a good list of beers & sake. And finally, we were very cold in the restaurant (they are aware of this issue): they should put extra heat in wintertime as this is affecting our experience. If we go back, we will go eat sushi.

Incredible hospitality and good food. We came here for dinner last week and I'm still thinking about how good the whole experience was. We went for the omakase option and our server (Tomo?) was attentive and explained each and every dish to us. Everything was so fresh and well presented. I'm not a huge fan of veggies but the delicate and respectful way they treated each dish won me over. My favorite dish was the wagyu with edamane. The umami was seeping through every bite of it. Truly a dish to remember for the ages.

6 stars! Some of the freshest fish and best presentation I've ever seen. On par with high end places we've been in NY and SF at a fraction of the price. Was really fun to sit at the bar and watch the prep. The mushrooms over Japanese charcoal is incredible and has so much depth of flavor. Chef is super kind and shared cool stories about how the restaurant came about. Definitely a gem in Toronto and deserving of many accolades!

We chose the "Trust Skippa" - tasting menu. I am unsure if this number changes, but this will run you around $150 per person Pair your entire meal with a bottle of sake (we chose a fruity and light flavour from Fukuoka). The selection sent to us was absolutely delicious from first course to last. They timed everything perfectly. I would go again.

We ordered the full tasting menu and it was great! Its dimmer atmosphere than you might expect and 1 piece of sushi was oversalted, but overall a very satisfying meal. Very attentive and friendly service!

Nice omakase with some novel dish. A little bit crowd if you sit at the bar but hey have the open kitchen you can see how they working on your food. Love their sushi, they also explained where is the fish from. One of my tip for the sushi is eat that when it comes to you do not take a photo because the rice will get cold and kill the flavor. You can try my tips with one sushi and take photo will another one then you will know what I am saying:)

Went to Skippa for the last seating of the evening. A small but cozy place, and easy to miss if you're not paying attention. We both had the omakase (there is no regular menu) and everything was delicious. This place is great and not as pretentious as other Toronto omakase sushi places ( yasu, shoushin) Great stuff.

Skippa is wonderful. Fresh wild caught fish, amazing local ingredients, inspired modern takes on Japanese cuisine. We had a truly wonderful experience dining at Skippa. We enjoyed the "TRUST SKIPPA" tasting menu which basically equates to a thoughtful journey through the majority of the menu. Starting out with several rounds of appetizers, each dish was delicately prepared and tastefully presented. By the time the sushi courses began, we were already nearly satisfied. Thankfully each piece of Nigiri was fresh and light, delicate and delicious. The peaches and cream ice cream to finish the meal was a true delight. If I had to name one must-try piece of fish, it would definitely be the amberjack!
