    Amazing food and great service. The lobster spaghetti was top class. Our waitress gave an excellent wine paring for the pasta and she was extremely good with the way she made us feel welcomed. We were there for my wife’s birthday, and they accommodated us with a sparkler and a personal birthday wish note, which added a nice touch to the whole evening. Overall an excellent experience and would definitely visit again !

    Simply the best Japanese place in Toronto! Our second visit in the year to try "new" tasting menu at $125pp, which is a downscaled version of bigger $175pp they carried last year. It was fantastic! Same flow, smaller portions, yet still in abundance. They were very accommodating to our crustaceans allergy; the overall service was sublime, led by Sofia. Special note on the drinks menu - Paul let us try a few very creative drinks, he rocks! Thank you Jabistro team, we will be back.
