My cousin recommended we try Chotto Matte and we worked it in to an overnight layover. The menu online didn't have me super excited and I was kind of in a bad mood from traveling but went anyway (mostly bc I always feel guilty with a last minute cancellation). The hostess was really nice and accommodated a delayed arrival. I did not realize you can choose a la carte or chef's tasting...the reservation process was a little confusing bc it asks you to choose ahead of time. You can actually do either or switch when you get to the restaurant. They are really flexible. The menu is designed with 6 sections and the food in each is prepared by a different kitchen. It's all open concept and the vibe inside was super cool and hip. Very different - I liked that a lot. We decided to try a bunch of dishes in lieu of the chef's tasting and the two our server recommended (yellow fish sashimi and grilled cod) were our favorite and I originally hadn't planned on ordering either because honestly, I've never felt comfortable ordering sashimi. These 2 dishes alone would have me come back. The sashimi was melt in your mouth delicious and was perfectly balanced with heat and crunch. The cod (which was actually branzino) was buttery and the miso glaze caramelized to perfection. The octopus was also fantastic. It was a great opportunity to try new things because we knew everything would be good. We threw on a dessert which probably everyone orders because it has a great description (magical chocolate ball) but should have taken our waiter's recommendation and done the passion fruit creme brûlée. Regretting that decision, haha. Joseph, thank you for being so good to us. By the end of the meal we were smiling again. read more

I think Chotto matte is an alright restaurant. I was really intrigued by the idea of Peruvian and Japanese fusion. I was impressed by the pictures I saw of other Yelpers. But I think that Chotto Matte is more of a pretentious restaurant than anything. Due to COVID they are offering 50% on all items from Mon-Friday. I got 3 items for around $30 so meaning that regular price would've been $60 and to me that's just a little ridiculous for the portions they give. The taste of each of the items I got were also not impressive. The spicy tuna roll, the rice around the maki was tasteless. Where rice should be the main standpoint of sushi. However I will say that I liked the spicy sauce. It was unique and quite tasty. The sashimi appetizer was way too salty and the fact that they had salty tortilla chips and the sauce was a little too sour. I understand the concept of having a light vibrant sauce but it was too overpowering. The one of their most "popular" rolls just felt really underwhelming. I think they had a lot of potential with such a nice space and interior design. But for me it's just a little lacking and could be improved. read more

great ambiance. service is very good. as an Asian who is fond of Japanese cuisine, the fusion dishes by Chotto Matte is an alternative to explore Canadian Japanese dishes. read more

I came here on Saturday for the jungle brunch at 4pm. Now I will say the experience overall was great! From the hostess to the servers, even the entertainment was all great! We had a table on the patio which was a nice touch being slightly elevated from the street level to give it that secluded feel which I thought was great. Being able to hold the parrot was very cool and the handler was super friendly in letting us get photos with the Parrot. Now down to the Food.. I personally enjoyed the whole selection. I like the fact that my friend and I were both able to pick out a big plate which was nice. I went with the Pollo Picante ( which was Soo good) and she chose the Gambas A La Parrilla which was the shrimp. We both felt like the shrimp was a tad bit over cooked but still great flavor! The small plates were good however being small plates you kinda wish you had a bit more lol. The spicy tuna crispy roll and the yellowtail "Nikkei Shashimi" had such great flavour we both wanted more of each! The warm beef fillet tataki was also really great the sauce that was on it was very nice touch! For the sides we chose the Shishito peppers and the Arroz Chaufa. Both dishes tasted great. For the Drinks.. we ordered the Chotto Caesar and the Jungle Punch. Now here is where I give this a 4/5.. EVERYTHING I just mentioned from the food to the ambiance, to the service was fantastic! The drinks however were a disappointment! I had the Jungle punch and it felt like there was no rum in it at all! I mean for a $16 drink it should have some taste to it but it was just really bad! I'd just stay away from the fancy cocktails here and pre drink before going and just order a beer or something. read more

Went for the Jungle Brunch. Food was not bad but not amazing. Was a bit confused on the menus as we didnt know it was Jungle brunch only on Saturdays and wasnt sure the type of cuisine when we were seated ( it would have helped if the waiter explained it a little). There was a good selection of foods though & the dessert platter at the end was fun. The dancing came on at 2pm and we realized that's also when the buffet food stopped (something we also weren't aware of when we came in). Dancing and the vibe is great if you went with the bottomless (5 drank max) option. However for the sober ones - the dancing & party vibes seemed forced. I guess depends on the crowd. read more

This is definitely one of my favourite fusion places in the city and such a unique combination of Japanese and Peruvian called Nikkei. Some of my favourite dishes here would be the Chotto ceviche, the eggplant Nash miso which is hands-down the best eggplant dish I have ever had (no joke), the chicken on the Robata, the lamb chops which are so succulent and delicious, and the must try is definitely the octopus! Everything is so gorgeously plated and wonderfully flavored. The drinks here are strong and I really love the 'he's so Smokin' and 'She's so smokin!' This is a great place to come for larger parties where you can share a lot of plates. They also have an incredible brunch on the weekends with live entertainment which is quite an experience in and of itself. I would highly recommend a visit here! I'm only sad that patio season is now over! read more

Chotto Matte - Japanese Near Me - Toronto, Ontario

Wooow !! Wanted to try this place for the longest time and I finally did it . Starting I recommend very much getting a reservation beforehand as it can get busy very quick . We were two people and we mainly shared different dishes. The drinks are amazing, so many flavourful cocktails and beautiful presentations , be minded that each cocktail might go for around 20$ . Then we shared the yuca frita, that it was okay , nothing out of this world and not something I'll get again, I find that they have so many other things on their menu better than the yuca, as a latina I just had to tried it. I got the vegan ceviche made with lychee , it was delicious so fresh, ans very tasty . The dessert was very unique, I'm a fruity dessert lover and this one hit the spot . It was a mix between passion fruit and mango , perfect size for two and just wow . Overall I loved everything about this place since the welcoming to the end. My reasoning for a 4 stars is the washrooms, they were pretty gross when I went, I have never seen a washroom at a restaurant so not taken care of , none of them were usable at all, it wasn't pleasant at all. Finally keep in mind that this place is a bit pricey , we were 2 and the bill came around 250$. Perfect place for an special occasion or a date night . The food is very good quality and a very unique experience. read more

Amazing vibe and food.. loved the ambiance and the small touches.. we went for a birthday celebration and they gave us a complimentary drink with our meal! .. love the attention to detail by the staff.. our server also made sure we were served promptly so we could catch our show after dinner! The only reason it's one star less is because some of the sauces we were served were over salted.. but that can be overlooked as it's a side sauce and I chose not to use it! The steak was cooked perfectly and the papaya salad was such a great fresh contrast to the meat! Thank you to the team for a lovely evening out for me and my hubby! read more

I had an extraordinary experience at Chotto Matte last weekend. The food was absolutely fantastic- and how did you get the beer so cold? Matt the floor manager was more than happy to point my friend and I towards some of the best menu choices... Pork belly, fried chicken, edamame... and much more. Unbelievable. 10/10 experience! read more

I visited Chotto Matte around their Opening and was impressed with their dining room with vibrant and funky decor! Unfortunately, the sashimi platter was highly disappointing in terms of the fish variety (cooked shrimp, lean tuna) and size of the pieces. Nonetheless, the sauces were tasty and unique. Their Nikkei Nigiri was beautifully crafted with intriguing new flavours, but at times overwhelmed the flavour of the fish. Miso chicken was perfectly cooked delicious and I would recommend it. Chotto Matte is a great option in the Financial District, but I would think twice if I'm looking for sushi and sashimi options. read more

Really outstanding food, labelled as Peruvian-Japanese fusion. But whatever it is, it's great! We ordered two tasting menus and there wasn't a bad dish. Some highlights included the Chotto Ceviche, Pollo den Miso, Shishito Peppers and many others. My only criticism would be that not all servers clearly stated what we were being served as it was happening. Speak up! :) read more

We're visiting from out of town and heard some hype about Chotto Matte and were excited to try it. We came around 9:30 on a Saturday and were seated right away. Not sure if it was the storm earlier in the day but then place seemed around 1/3 empty. The decor is really cool and the vibe is very club-y, with loud electronic music from a live DJ. We ordered the Moshi Moshi cocktail, which was great (but very tiny for $20), and a bottle of Sake. The drinks were great. Service was also great with friendly staff. What gives this review its 2 stars is the food. We were post dinner and weren't hungry so we ordered the 4 piece sushi and the wagyu and otoro a la carte. We were extremely disappointed by the wagyu - it was overcooked in some parts, raw in others, and was extremely chewy. The otoro was also a let down as it was served without any sauce. From the 4 piece sushi, the tuna was disappointing as it was flavorless and dry. The other 3 pieces were okay. I would recommend Chotto Matte for drinks but definitely not for the sushi. read more

I have a lot of things to say so I'll get straight to the point. The sushi was pretty average and I wish I'd ordered less of it (some not pictured) so it wouldn't have made me full - then I could've tried some of their other stuff. The lamb-chop was amazing and I'm someone who doesn't even eat lamb. I just tried a bite and the flavour was so good I wish I wasn't full from the sushi to try ordering their other Peruvian style dishes. I think this restaurant is supposed to be a Japanese-Peruvian fusion but they do the latter better than the former. They also had some tasting menu which looked like a better way to try out more dishes (the table beside us got it) so I'd probably get that if I ever go there again. Personally my main issue was that the service was really slow and bad and made what could've been a nice dinner become a bit of a dud. I went here to celebrate my birthday and my partner requested for them to bring out a dessert (assuming it would be the one that the table beside us got which he showed them). After inquiring about the delay twice & waiting for a veryyyyy long time we got tired and told them to cancel the dessert but they apologized and then brought out this mochi ice cream thing which you pretty much just take out of the fridge and wouldn't require much time to assemble. If we waited for that long you'd think they'd bring the nice brownie thing in a chocolate ball that we asked for (we assumed that took long to assemble hence the delay). Nevertheless that experience at the end of the dinner made the night a bit disappointing. The ambience is pretty average as well it wasn't much different from many other places in downtown but I will admit I still do want to go here again eventually to try their other Peruvian dishes (but not for a special occasion). read more

Very cool atmosphere. It is a bit on the expensive side but the food is really good, so it is worth it. The washrooms and inside decor are very photographable lol. I'd recommend doing one of the fixed-prix menus as you'll get to try a lot of things. The whole process from reserving our table online to being seated is very smooth. Highly recommend any of the sushi dishes, and the Pollo Nipon (chicken teriyaki). read more

After seeing Chotto Matte under construction for what seemed to be the longest time (I work nearby), I've been eager to see what the restaurant has to offer and expectations were generally met. We went for lunch and ordered several a la carte dishes (rather than the tasting menu). [1] Sweet Potato and Yuca Chips. 8/10. The tomato salsa was delicious but the guacamole was quite bland. [2] Shrimp Spring Roll. Excellent and full of flavor. [3] Purple Potato Purèe. Interesting dish and had a nice texture although I wouldn't say this is a must-try. [4] Pork Belly. Favourite dish (but by a close margin). [5] Eggplant Miso. Very tasty and garnished quite well. I found myself eating a lot of this while usually not a big fan of eggplant. [6] The Nikkei Sashimi. Excellent with the yuzu truffle soy. Having recently visited Peru, I can say this dish does a good job representing Peruvian cuisine by combining the sashimi with fresh raw ingredients. [7] Tuna Tostadita. In my opinion tasted weird by mixing the coriander, wasabi and corn crisp with sashimi. The bar area looks like a work of art and the restaurant is overall a fun and interesting choice. Looking forward to try the bento boxes next time! read more

Chotto Matte - She's so smoking cocktail - Japanese Near Me - Toronto, Ontario

First time visit at this very trendy and modernly designed restaurant in the heart of downtown TO. Staff was very friendly and took care of us from the moment we entered. Must admit one of the top positives here is that each dish presentation is top notch and very colorful so great for pictures however lighting is a bit dark. Food was tasty but dishes are extremely pricey so be prepared to fork out $$$$ to dine here. Don't expect huge portions as individual dishes are shareable but more for light tasting. I personally enjoyed the marinated lamb chops but they cost $18.50/piece!! Great restaurant to take your close ones or friends for special occasions but definitely not worth a regular visit unless your pockets are very deep. read more

Went there on a Thursday evening at 6pm, we had a reservation so we were seated immediately. The interior decor is gorgeous! We ordered 4 dishes to the recommendation of our waiter (who was so knowledgable, such amazing service). The food was divine, the sushi honestly melted in my mouth. And do try the Sea Bass, it's fantastic! What really made me love this place was the service. Water was filled promptly, dishes cleared away immediately, each new dish was introduced with an eloquent blurb. Loved it! read more

This new restaurant inside the TD Tower at Front and Bay is well presented but totally NOT worth it. I visited with a friend to try out their sushi and sashimi and it was very expensive relative to other premium Japanese restaurants downtown. Of course, the uniqueness of this restaurant is that they are a Japanese and Peruvian fusion however I didn't really think it offered much to be different when it came to the items we ordered. 12 piece sashimi ($45) - Fish was fresh but the selection was really the basic types of fish you could get anywhere else. The only unique factor to this was it came with four types of sauces which our server never bothered to explain what they were. 4 piece aburi sushi ($22) - Again basic fish (and steak) which was torched at the table. The rice for the sushi was terrible, it was so too mushy and soggy. Needless to say, we left hungry and pretty disappointed but also glad we didn't order anymore. It's a well presented restaurant with nice decor but beyond the aesthetic, there are much better options available. read more

Chotto Matte - 12 piece sashimi - Japanese Near Me - Toronto, Ontario

Some friends wanted to try this place and I decided to give them a second try. We were in the lounge taking advantage of the BOGO special on drinks while we waited for other friends. It was pretty busy with the TIFF crowd on a Thursday night. The Lima Old Fashioned was unique with the chocolate covered ice block. In terms of food, we liked the sashimi platter but was confused about which of the four sauces go well with each of the 6 different pieces. I really wished that the shrimp was raw. The eggplant and the spinach salad were our favourites. We were really surprised how tasty the spinach salad was despite the look of it compared to other dishes. For the misses, the pork belly and tiger shrimp was a miss. They were cooked perfectly but the sauce missed its mark. It seems like all the Peruvian marinaded dishes were not our preference. Overall, it was a better experience and the decor was amazing. read more

Came here for the first time last Tuesday, for an early dinner. All the items on their menu are pricey! However, the food and service that we got was superb. Our waiter was very tentative, and gave good recommendations when asked. Wait staff who brought our food were also great at explaining each dish; especially the Nikkei sushi platter. My boyfriend and I ordered the He's So Smoking cocktail, the Flor de Manzana cocktail, Chu-toro Tiradito, Pato Crujiente con Salsa Peruana, Barriguita de Chanchito, eight piece Nikkei dressed sushi, and the Peruvian Chocolate Crema. The food was beautifully presented, and each dish was unique with combinations of flavours that worked well together. I'd say that it was all pricey, but worth it (I'd recommend as a special occasion type of place). Would definitely come back! read more

This probably deserves a 3.5 stars overall. I went on a weekday night with a reservation, they aren't that busy yet since it's just the soft opening. We opted for the second tasting menu - 9 courses overall Positive points: great waiter who was very knowledgeable, cool atmosphere Negatives: seats super close together, meh presentation for the price point, really loud music might not be for everyone Course 1: a bowl of popped corn. Lol rly Course 2: sashimi with truffle sauce. Flavour was meh overall Course 3: basically a corn chip with tuna and wasabi l - pretty good Course 4: beef with some sort of sauce - very well cooked and the sauce was great Course 5: calamari - don't understand why so many items were fried, the squid was good but there was just so much batter Course 6: pork belly - in my opinion the sauce drowned out the pork, and it was pretty tough Course 7: miso black cod - this was phenomenal and made this meal worth the value Course 8: Tuna sushi - really don't recco the sushi here as the fish is sorta diced up, and comes with basic spicy mayo Course 9: dessert - ice cream and mochi. Really basic and tasted like it came from a store read more

We'd like to try this restaurant from the time they put on the comic posters on the window display. It's a long wait! Our reservation was postponed a week due to the permit. Lisa who took care of our booking is very helpful. And finally we were here last Saturday. I love the large scale hand painting inside the restaurant and 2nd floor. There are lots of servers and kitchen staff. Our server is very knowledgeable. Perhaps they are new, the operation still needs improvement. The staff brought us several dishes which were not ordered by us. Wonder if there's something wrong with their POS? They offer Nikkei style cuisine, i.e. Japan x Peruvian. Most of the dishes we ordered are with a touch of spicy and/or acidic. Nikkei Sashimi - creative sauce, truffle oil + orange powder, personally I don't feel like this combination. I feel the pinch of orange powder over ride the truffle oil. Four Piece Aburi (flamed at the table) - interesting combination of the sauce and sushi. This' my first time to try nasu (eggplant) sushi. I like it. We ordered two dishes under robata section. Tentáculos de Pulpo - the octopus was good. The purple potato was hidden under it. Nice presentation with the blue dots, yuzu flavour seemed not go well with the taste of the squid. Barriguita de Chanchito - pork belly was with five layers. I expected the pork belly would be melted in my mouth but some of the meat was a bit tough. Sato Maki - not that special. We'd prefer the soft shell crab roll instead. Dessert - passion fruit cream brûlée - it's good. Guess everyone with sweet tooth will love it. It's good to have different kinds of Japanese fusion restaurants coming to Toronto. read more

Finally got the chance to try the jungle brunch and it did not disappoint! The ambiance is truly something else, the decor and performances were on point and the environment is perfect for brunch with friends, date night or special events. The jungle brunch comes with a fixed set of options for $60/person. The food was all bite-sized and packed with flavour - but I wish they gave more of each option to taste. We also got mimosas which were very refreshing but it tasted more like sparkling orange juice. Our server was lovely and very accommodating about our food allergy. The service was a little slow - we arrived at 12:30 and got our bill at 3:00pm, but really didn't feel slow with the entertainment and yummy food. Excited to come back and try some of their other options! read more

I went on a Friday night with my friend. We had the veggie tempura, ceviche, 12 piece sashimi, corn puffs, octopus, and passionfruit creme brulee for dessert. The ambience was cool and the space was good. The washrooms are located upstairs and I had to ask someone to find it as there was no obvious signage. The entrance location was not so clear. Our server was nice but forgot my drink until I asked the servers assistant and also didn't split our bill correctly (was a machine error perhaps?). The food was quite good. I particularly enjoyed the octopus, ceviche and the creme brulee was great too. The sashimi was good but I wouldn't order again. Overall had a good experience but unsure if I would return again. read more

Beautiful decor. Nice bathroom wall design. Mediocre food with high prices. Toasted corn was $3.50 but usually complimentary in Peru... Ceviche was nice but do avoid the yucca chips and fries. This is more of a tapas place: 3 of us ordered one order of ceviche each, but the food came in 2 plates. We weren't very happy about that, but we understand that there was probably no room to put 3 plates on our tiny table. Service was slow (sat for 10 minutes without any greeting) at first but got quite consistent after I complained. Server was very nice and polite. read more

Chotto Matte - ceviche - Japanese Near Me - Toronto, Ontario

With all the buzz surrounding this place, I was very disappointed in the entire meal. The flavours were not balanced and the presentation was sloppy and mediocre at best. We chose the Nikkei sharing menu for about $100 per person. The first "course" consisted of corn puffs and were just roasted corn kernels(not pictured), the "classic" tostadita with tuna sashimi, jalapeño, coriander, and wasabi was underwhelming as the one similarly served at #AkiraBack had better flavours. The beef tataki with passion fruit salsa was decent, the beef was tender. The Nikkei sashimi with sea bass had truffle infused soy, which didn't pair well with the fishy taste of the sea bass. The Nikkei calamari tempura, was not as crispy as I expected and the sauce was like a spicy mayo (literally Siracha and mayo). The miso black cod was good, but nothing I haven't had from all-you-can-eat Japanese. The pork belly was pretty salty and tough, it's taste was similar to Chinese BBQ pork just deep fried again. The two deserts were assorted mochi (can't go wrong with that) and some other chocolate and caramel pudding which was too sweet for my liking. The ambiance and music were great, and the servers were decent. The food just needs some work. read more

There's also the tried and true sushi. Chotto Matte dresses it up Nikkei style ($28) by topping the seafood with elements like aji Amarillo (a hot pepper), black garlic, and truffle. Traditional condiments like yuzu also make an appearance to give the sushi a burst of freshness. The tuna, salmon, and yellowtail were all delicious; the scallop even better. Most of the tuna tartare found in Toronto is made from the lean and vibrant Albacore tuna. Chotto Matte serves their's 'o-toro' ($23), the fattier cut releasing a flavourful rich bite. Just make sure to get to the bottom of the dish where you'll find sweet soy with a hint of wasabi, it's where you'll find the flavours. Yet, the dish really needs something like toasted nori as an accompaniment: to add a textual contrast against the soft tuna and act as a chip to eat the tartare from. For the price, I was surprised to only see one shrimp spring roll ($14.50) arrive, but I guess it was a really really tasty one. Filled with succulent pieces of nobashi shrimp and shiitake, a shisho leaf is layered with the wrapper adding a citrusy herbal taste. The kitchen made a terrible decision serving the barriguita de chanchito ($18.50) and gambas huacatay ($29) together. The pork belly is such a powerful bite having been marinated in a salty and spicy aji panca and aji amarillo chilli sauce ... it reminds of a fattier deep fried chorizo. Biting into the rock shrimp tempura afterwards tastes like eating plain batter. The gambas are said to be accompanied by mint and butter ponzu, but the dish seemed like overly soft tempura batter with what could be pieces of diced shrimp mixed into it. From the robata, the pollo den miso ($21) is surprisingly tasty for a dish that's really just grilled chicken. The miso glaze gives the dish flavour without rendering it overly sweet like teriyaki, while the yellow chili salsa bring in the Latin flavours of Peru. In the end, it's also that lovely charcoal smoky aroma of the robata that ties everything together. read more
