   Dear JaBistro Team, I had the pleasure of dining at JaBistro in Toronto on Saturday, January 11, 2025, at 7:15 pm to celebrate your 12th Anniversary Tasting Menu and Lobster Sashimi Platter. As a Vietnamese-born Canadian residing in Mississauga, I always appreciate discovering exceptional Japanese dining experiences, and JaBistro truly delivered. From the moment I arrived, the warm and professional service made the evening even more enjoyable. Sophie-san, my server, was attentive and knowledgeable, ensuring that each dish was presented beautifully and explained in detail. Her hospitality made the experience even more memorable. The 12th Anniversary Tasting Menu was an absolute delight. The lobster miso soup had a deep, umami-rich flavour, setting the tone for an incredible meal. The premium sashimi platter showcased the chef’s expertise, with each piece of sashimi tasting incredibly fresh and expertly cut. The aburi selection was perfectly seared, highlighting JaBistro’s signature touch. The nigiri was simply outstanding—each piece, from the rich o-toro to the luxurious wagyu topped with foie gras, was a testament to the quality of ingredients and craftsmanship. Ending the meal with the refreshing yuzu sorbet with sake jelly was the perfect palate cleanser. The Lobster Sashimi Platter was another highlight. The lobster was incredibly fresh, with a natural sweetness that stood out. It was evident that only the highest quality seafood was used. I also want to extend my gratitude to Riku-san for the kind message on OpenTable. It is always a pleasure to dine at a restaurant where the team truly values their guests. JaBistro continues to set the standard for Japanese cuisine in Toronto, and this anniversary menu was a perfect celebration of the artistry and dedication behind each dish. I look forward to returning soon for another incredible experience! Best regards, Quoc-kun

   Overall, this was a good experience. My favourite item on the menu was the “Ebi Oshizushi” aburi, it was unique and very tasty. We tried all the others and found them to be ok. Although the aburi’s come with soy sauce already on them, it would have been nice to also have soy sauce, ginger and wasabi offered on the side. We did ask our server for it and she brought it over to the table, so that was nice. Would have loved try the panna cotta but unfortunately the next table was waiting to be seated. I would recommend increasing their maximum reservation duration from 1.5 hours to 2 hours.

   Delicious torched sushi, paired with high quality sake, and lovely interior decor, and excellent service to match. Thank you to Riku and the team for a wonderful experience. We will be back.

    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.
