I have been anxiously waiting for this restaurant to open, and finally - during this last week of May - it did. I had great expectations for this concept. Immediately after learning about what was going to open in this building, I felt that they were building a Toronto version of Nobu. Clearly, Nobu thinks Toronto would not be a good fit for their beautiful concept which they've opened all around the world, so somebody else had to do it. I've most recently been to the Malibu location...and let me say that the people behind Kasamoto have clearly been to Nobu Malibu as well. We arrived for an 8:30 reservation on the patio. An outdoor staircase takes you up to this beautiful area, beautifully embellished with wood detail everywhere. There are tables and chairs all around, but we opted for the more relaxed environment - sofas. The sofas are low and have a coffee table. Very comfy. The attention to detail at this place was incredible. The server that helped us was very friendly and accommodating. She was very patient in explaining some dishes on the menu and even changed our order when we decided we didn't want something a few minutes after we ordered it (sorry). The food was great. Not amazing but very well done. I'm sure the menu will evolve as they learn what people like and dislike, so I can't really review the food until a second visit in a few months. The soy butter rice was too greasy and tasted somewhat bland. The sushi rolls are very good. Some people will find that it's too expensive. You're coming here for the environment and experience. A meal for two will usually hit around $200 or more with tax and tip. Now the thing I wish they would improve: the alcohol. The alcohol list was lacklustre. In particular the rum. When I asked about dark rum, they only had Bacardi Black and Havana Club 7yr. These are OK rums. If you work at the restaurant and you'd like to please your rum-drinking customer, please get Diplomatico rum, or at least something decent found at other restaurants - Goslings. Now in an effort to not ramble...the whole experience was good for an opening week visit. Big patio, great service, and interesting food. This restaurant will be a great success, but it needs to work on a few things...which I'm sure it will. For now...it's a somewhat decent version of Nobu in Toronto - from the way that the menu is organized to the way your chopsticks rest on a stone on the table when you arrive, and even the wood paneling everywhere. Can I also mention they have the same umbrellas all over the patio. They're just missing the ocean behind the railing. Get a reservation while you can. read more

Both service, food, and atmosphere is top notch here! Definitely a nice to place to go to impress someone. We ordered: shrimp rock tempura - coated with not just tempura battter but sprinkled with slivered mango so it's extremely tangy and tasty. Wagyu beef: the beef is so soft and the sauce is not too sweet either Spicy tuna roll: also delicious - the ratio of tuna vs. Rice is very generous!! All the staff there were extremely friendly as well. Definitely returning again. read more

Third time was not a charm! What a disappointment! Despite the great weather (sat at patio) and ambience, the food was just subpar. It's very unfortunate as I have raved to my friends about my previous experiences. We ordered green spicy salad, tuna poke, grilled green peppers, rock shrimp tempura, soy butter fried rice, robata pork belly, black cod, seabass, sashimi, 8oz Australian beef. As you can see, we ordered a wide selection off the menu. Everything was just mediocre - especially the beef and pork belly ( how can someone mess up pork belly at a Japanese restaurant?) The salad was bland and not spicy. The cod was extremely small. The best dish was grilled green peppers What?! read more

I initially had hesitated about booking Kasa Moto for a friend's birthday after having read many Yelp reviews about this restaurant...as it turns out I should have trusted the reviews. They were right about both the food and service being mediocre at best. I made the reservation for Saturday night a few weeks in advance and when asked if we were celebrating anything I mentioned it was my friend's birthday. I also mentioned this again when I called to change the reservation time and when I called again a couple of days ago to confirm the reservation. I asked if they could do anything to celebrate my friend's birthday and the woman I spoke to said that if I order a dessert they can do something special with it for her birthday. I was also asked if I would like to be seated on the patio and I said no, because I wasn't sure what the weather would be like. Now let's fast forward to tonight, the night we actually dined at Kasa Moto. We did arrive a little late due to a previous appointment running later than we anticipated and the restaurant was gracious about that. We were then seated on the patio, which is not what I wanted, but I didn't comment because it turned out to be a pretty nice evening. We were seated at this tiny table right in between the DJ booth and the servers break room/bar area. So we had to look around before even moving our elbows to make sure we weren't knocking anything down. I noticed that a booth next to us cleared just after we sat down so I asked our server if we could be seated at the booth and he said they were usually reserved for larger parties. 1) there was a booth the EXACT SAME SIZE next to it which had a party of two and 2) no one was seated at the booth or the one next to it throughout the entire time my friend and I were at the restaurant, so I am sure they could have accommodated us. Now onto the food; we ordered the tuna tartare, shrimp tempura, pork steamed buns and eggplant buns to begin with. They were tasty and well seasoned and the food came out quickly. Then we ordered the salmon pressed sushi, Kasa Moto roll and cauliflower, everything was decent, not amazing or anything but it was decent. The food came quickly which was nice. However our server seemed to be really busy because there were a few instances where our water glasses were empty or where we needed to ask him something but he was nowhere to be found. To end the meal we ordered the black sesame mousse and I ordered this hoping they'd wish my friend a happy birthday or something but if just arrived at the table with no fanfare. It was tasty and creamy and had the texture of a delicious cheesecake but there were no candles or no mention of a birthday. A bit miffed, we paid our bill and started heading out. I stopped by the hostess stand to ask why nothing had been done to celebrate the birthday when I had made a request over the phone, she didn't seem to have a good reason as to why they couldn't do anything and said that I should have told my server. So why do they even ask if you're celebrating anything when taking the reservation? All in all, the food was decent but I would not want to come back given the service, the lack of attention to detail and the poor seating arrangement. Sorry Kasa Moto, I tried to like you. ‍ read more

Kasa Moto - TUNA TARTARE, shrimp TEMPURA, eggplant STEAMED BUNS - Japanese Near Me - Toronto, Ontario

I really enjoyed the service and food. The wagyu beef was really good and they also had a great selection of sake. It would be best recommended to make reservations before going, the only downside is that there is sort of a time limit seated at the table. We had reservations for 7:30pm and they told us that the next reservation at our table was 9pm. Overall experience was still 5 stars. read more

Lovely patio, a bit loud for a large gathering but really like the Kamameshi, shishito peppers and skirt steak.

Service was very good and attentive. Good crowd and ambiance. Went with a group of friends so we shared a few plates. The food wasn't the best and I agree with many of the other reviews that it is overpriced for the quality. However, it's not surprising because it's Yorkville. Tuna poke and sweet/spicy cauliflower were memorable. I would order again. Rolls were pretty average. I didn't actually like their house roll. I'll definitely be back but probably just for drinks and something small to eat. Wasn't fully satisfied by the meal but everything else was top notch. read more

Everything about Kasa Moto is perfect. Almost too perfect. Their interior and atmosphere is loungy, and sophisticated, but you wouldnt feel out of place wearing jeans and a tshirt. Their service is excellent, and all their servers seem to be very well educated on all the items on their menus! The food at Kasa Moto is like a hot knife cutting through butter. It's soo delicious. I honestly don't know how else to describe it. It's just simply so so so good. If it didn't cost me $70-$200 a meal, I would have it more often. read more

This place is pretty swank with a modern, clean interior but considering it was a Friday night, not as busy as I would have imagined. Items are definitely Yorkville priced (maybe 15-18 for cocktails, 10-18 for apps, 15-80+ for mains -- high end being the Wagyu, etc.). This was dinner one of two so we were mainly interested in drinks and a light bite. To drink: FLIGHT OF THE REISHI is a vodka/lychee/grapefruit cocktail that is super easy drinking and just when I felt it was like eating asian jello cups, the grapefruit kicked in to ground it a bit. The CAESAR was a shisito-infused vodka base and wasabi rimmed glass. Did not care for the wasabi but the shisito vodka was delicious and made the drink taste like a spicy salsa. Potent but the kick doesn't linger for long. The HAMACHI CRUDO was delicious, served in a supremely well balanced yuzu sauce and topped with crispy carrot threads. The KAMAMESHI super reminded me of a lesser version of my mother's Chinese sticky rice fried rice (you fan). The truffled butter gives a lighter than expected fragrance and the mushroom/burdock root within provide some, but not a whole lot of contrast/interest. The wooden pot itself gives a hint of pleasant smokiness but overall slightly underwhelming considering all the hype -- echoing our overall feel for this place. As an FYI: Peering over at the next table with not one but two orders of Wagyu, I see perhaps 10 slices per order. More generous than I would have imagined! read more

Service was poor & slow. The food was okay nothing great or to brag about unfortunately. I was really disappointed because I waited a long time to try this place out. The setting and music was good but nothing else. Hope they can improve. read more

I read somewhere this place was like the Nobu of Toronto. We went here with resos on Friday night, the service was great. We asked to be sat near a TV to watch the Raptors game while we dined and they arranged it for us upstairs. It was very busy there and the interior and presentation was great. The food on the other hand.... We ordered: Rock Shrimp Tempura - overall this dish was a flavorless and airy inside (small pieces of shrimp). There was a hint of citrus flavor I tasted after. The Sticky Fried Rice Spicy Tuna Sushi- Only 4 small pieces of sushi, the fried rice part was nice and crisp but I felt the Spicy Tuna didn't compliment the rice too well. The flavors just didn't blend well together. The Karaage Chicken- my least favorite dish of the night, the chicken had a nice crisp to it but the sauces on the chicken totally killed the dish. There were few different types of sauces, the brown one was extremely salty while the white and orange sauce was over powered by the brown one throughout the whole dish. I was really disappointed, literally forced ourselves eat it because we were starving. The Kasa Moto Roll- This roll had scallops, salmon and lobster in it yet I couldn't taste any of them in the roll. It was a fairly small roll and as I ate it I found that the texture of the roll was just mush, no crisp or freshness to it at all. The Sea Bass- This was the only dish that we thoroughly enjoyed. great grilled sea bass with grilled lemon to squeeze and a sauce on the side which I think had bit of horseradish in it. It was delicious and perfectly cooked. We realized at the end of our meal we should've maybe each got the sea bass and a some wine. We also had a mixed cocktail and a glass of wine, the bill came up to $145 (soooo overpriced and under satisfied), we tipped $20 and left...and will probably never go back. Maybe we just ordered the wrong things but I think to say 4/5 items being a disappointment...its best we don't go back. read more

Went to Kasa Moto with my wife last night for dinner. The food there was absolutely delicious! We had a number of dishes but our favourites were the Chicken Karaage, Miso Black Cod, and the 7oz. Wagyu skirt steak. The ginger sake and wasabi sour cream sauce for the Chicken Karaage is a must try, not overwhelming and the flavor complimented the chicken perfectly. The Black Cod, I can eat 10 of those. Silky smooth and melts in your mouth. Finally the Wagyu skirt steak was perfectly cooked and very tender. We also tried the Wagyu fried rice, sushi and sashimi combo, and the Hamachi lettuce wraps. We had the Chocolate Stone for dessert and my wife and I were fighting over it even though we were stuffed. Everything, and I mean everything was delicious. The Berry Bonzai drink was recommended to us and it was so refreshing. The manager, Christos was unbelievable. He took very good care of us and was very attentive. We were walk-ins and he treated us like VIP's. He made excellent recommendations and came by often to make sure all the food was to our liking. He personally made our night out at Kasa Moto exceptional. Would highly recommend and return for more! read more

I came In Saturday night with a couple of girlfriends for dinner. Everything was perfect,from the service to attention to detail to the ambiance. Everything our server Nicole recommended was delicious. The wagyu fried rice and KM roll were my favourite. We will definitely be back. read more

Tried this restaurant last night for the first time. It's styled very nicely and looks fresh and chic. We did not need a 7:30pm reservation which is nice. We had the rock shrimp tempura which was amazing, then the Wagyu fried rice which was also amazing but then the Spicy tuna maki was not great all all. It was as if the tuna was ground up and piped into the roll, very strange and sad we left half the dish untouched. The serve never asked about now the meal was which is interesting because they could see we clearly left food uneaten sadly. Ambiance is nice but don't think I would go back. read more

I went to Kasa Moto for a friend's birthday last night and it was only a group of three. Gorgeous rooftop patio and space. The food was just okay - lobster slaw, kasa moto maki, sashimi, black cod, mochi dessert, and the chocolate dessert. All of the food items would be pretty standard quality for any other Japanese restaurant but pricier, nothing memorable. My biggest complaint was the service. The waiter we had was a young guy who seemed more like a bus boy. As it was someone's birthday, one of the girls brought her a cake. They had given it to one of the servers when they entered. After finishing our ordered dessert, we asked our waiter if he could get the cake. After 15 min, still nothing so we reminded him again. Turns out he forgot. When he finally brought it back, he places the box on the table without anything else. The whole point was to have the cake with her for her birthday. We asked him for plates and he responded with "i don't know if that is allowed. Let me check" I get that you dont want people to bring their own desserts but we ordered dessert on the menu in addition to several drinks per person. It was obvious that it was a special occasion. The server after several minutes returned and said it was okay, had to ask if we needed forks - again, isn't that obvious?! And he wanted to make it clear that they would normally charge a plating fee but graciously would not this time - communicated in an annoyed tone. None of this was communicated at the start of the seating when we brought them the cake. The restaurant was clearing out at that point so we weren't hold up a table. Overall attitude was terrible and not condusive to providing a great night for our birthday girl! read more

Freshened up patio with great wait staffs. That's about it. If you are looking for a culinary experience, you are about to find another low quality food with big price tag. I ordered: Kasa Moto burger- are you for real? Even street burger place can make the burger better than your 20$-something dollar burger. Kasa Moto Roll- are you for real? Even a take out sushi place can make the roll better than your 20$-something dollar sushi roll. Kasa wagyu beef robata- I think local Korean galbi place can make this thing taste better. Kasa Moto sangria = orange juice. Soybean beef fried rice- honestly. Now, even I can make this better than you.... Overall, quite disappointment for the hype this place had on the website. read more

Overpriced, pretentious and the food was just bad. The soba noodles and cauliflowers (summerlicious 2019) were salty and to be honest, they did not taste like they were made by professional cooks. The dessert was a scoop of store-bought sorbet with huge chunks of fruit that we weren't sure how to eat with only a spoon. read more

Skip this place. The hostess was incredibly rude when I walked in. She asked if i had a reservation i told her no i was meeting someone who was already there. She asked her name, I said you wouldn't know her name if we didn't have a reservation. She then said do you know where she's sitting, how could I possibly know that? I said sorry, I've never been here. She started walking and said well, this is a huge restaurant so... The food was sub par at best. For this price point I expect incredible food. It wasn't. The cocktail it's time for Yoishi? Was great. Rock shrimp was meh. Tuna poke was also meh. Our server abandoned us for 25 minutes I had to ask a bus boy to bring my bill. They checked my friends coat, brought her the wrong coat 3 times, then finally asked her what hers looked like, then invited her back to find her own coat. This place is disorganized and not worth the price point. Two stars for the decor and the nice cocktail. read more

Food was ok, took over an hour for the first dish to arrive. Paid over 150$ and left hungry and pissed

Absolutely perfect meal. We ordered across the menu and everything was amazing. Wonderful, friendly wait staff. Try the black cod, the kasamoto and spicy tuna rolls, kamameshi rice, grilled corn and Moshi for dessert. Great Alsatian wines went perfectly with dinner. read more

Maybe a 4? There are other places that are comparatively a clear 4...this one...not quite. I liked the service. The meal was good but it didn't quite reach a solid 4. The Wagyu Beef Fried Rice was surprisingly on the bland side. read more

I was first served to an important employee meeting that was all about being kind to the guests and making them feel welcome - I guess they forgot about me, because I did not feel welcome. The staff of Kasa Moto brought me to this tiny corner table overlooking the bar where I could hear the conversations of every single employee. Although I requested a table by the window when I made my reservation on Open Table, the restaurant clearly ignored my request. Eating alone does not seem to grant you the privilege of deciding where you are sitting. I tried to sit at a middle table, but the hostess strongly pointed me to the corner table instead. At least the service was not as merciless: the waiter was very sympathetic and well trained. He would come around very often to ask me if all was good. Another waitress kept coming with water, never letting my glass turn empty. However, I still felt pressured. Two minutes after I ordered my food, it arrived. A hostess holding an iPad kept passing by my table, smiling, looking at my food. She obviously wanted my table, even though the restaurant was empty. I had a reservation and I was a guest like everybody else, yet I still felt like I was treated differently because of my singleness - which is not the best thing to do if you want the guest to feel welcome. Nevertheless, Kasa Moto holds an impeccable design and décor -- it is quite the elegant and fancy environment. As for its food, it is arguably one of the best sushi places in Toronto. Before turning vegan, I would always go with friends and family because the place reminded me of how much I loved sushi and Japanese food. Tonight, was no exception. The food was undeniably incredible. Vegan or not, the restaurant does not let you down in terms of taste and pleasure. I was first treated to a crispy tofu platter which had a sophisticated presentation. The tofu was also soft and tender; it melted at the back of your mouth like no other tofu I've ever had. After my last bite, some unguided busboy crept in on my plate and asked if I was finished, I was not. There were still a bunch of vegetables and sauce on my plate. He kept passing by all through the night, hungry to take my plates, even when there weren't any on the table. I then ordered the garlic gai lan, which, according to the menu, was supposed to be a chili, it was not. It was in fact a bunch of green leaves and vegetables bathing in oil and garlic. I still devoured the plate like some hungry bear. Then, two minutes later, came the "plat de resistance": the vegan tempura. I was also expecting something different here, maybe a sweet potato tempura or avocado sushi, but they knew better. They instead created this new sushi filled "heirloom carrots, squash, avocado & inari" which ended up being the perfect combination for a vegan plate. I only wish they would create more vegan options, but one can only dream. In fact, this time around they had a new menu on their hands -- one that did not include my favorite vegan meal to have at Kasa Moto (which was garlic noodles). They also took the vegan symbol away from the miso soup (their soy now contains animal product). Additionally, the waiter was not able to offer me a vegan dessert, beside a platter of fruit, which I did not take. When a restaurant offers vegan options on the menu, one would think they would offer a proper vegan dessert. This, of course, made me feel even more alone. Maybe I should have gone to a vegan restaurant but to get vegan sushi in this city, there are only a few places you can go and Kasa Moto is one of them. Nevertheless, I asked for another glass of Pinot Noir to resolve my state of discontent and it helped make my night all the better. read more

This is truly an exceptional concept in a fantastic A-list location. Clearly the owners have spared little expense in order to create an exceptional product. Unfortunately it is still struggling with basic execution. After making it past the Terroni-style kerfuffle at reception being told that our table was ready and then not ready followed by "Please wait," we made our own way to the bar and asked for a food menu. Then after ordering Sapporo and waiting 10 minutes because the bar keg wasn't pouring properly we managed to order a couple of appetizers. Then after receiving the wrong appetizers not once but twice we finally threw in the towel and decided to leave. Great concept--poor execution. Based on our limited experience the food was pretty good however. read more

This place took me by surprise with its creative menu and intriguing blend of Asian and Western tastes. I came for a 10-course dinner with work friends on a Friday evening (warning: it's pretty long if you opt for this, took us ~4 hours!). I loved the wagyu beef (soooo tender), lobster slaw (this sounds plain but is really crisp and tasty!) and the albacore tuna ceviche. The maki course was also pretty good - the rice is light and aromatic, and the spicy salmon (?) is quite charming. The rock shrimp was also a real winner (MUST try!) - Kasamoto makes creamy and tempura-y work well. The dessert (a selection of pocket-size pouches of ice cream accompanied by a chocolate mousse) was alright, as was the service. Overall, great experience and hoping to come by again! :) read more

You absolutely must come here for weekend brunch. I've been here for dinner which was really good but their brunch is hands down my favourite in Toronto. I come here with my cousin and we always order the pork belly skewers, soy butter fried rice, pork belly and sweet potato hash and the buckwheat buttermilk pancakes. The buckwheat buttermilk pancakes are much better than the blueberry pancakes from Mildred's Temple Kitchen imo and cheaper (I think) - $12. The pancakes are fluffy, enormous, drowned in maple syrup with a huge slab of butter on top and just so, so indulgent. In total our bill always comes out to around $56 not including taxes which is super reasonable for 4 dishes + coffee. Come here. read more

We were staying in Yorkville for a few days from the states so we decided to give Kasamoto a try. It was one block from where we were staying. The rock shrimp tempura was a dish that didn't live up to expectations. It was pretty bland and tasted like a mayo based sauce that was quite over powering. However, the crab tacos are to die for and the wagu hot pot was amazing. The California rolls and the wagu fried rice were incredible. Unfortunately, the service was super average and slow which was kind of shocking considering it seemed like a very slow night. To end the night we had the vanilla fudge sundae which was delicious. Throughout the night we had a total of three different servers and one completely forgot about our request for additional sea salt and a new hot pot for our waygu beef. The music was A1 and a very trendy. However, overall would I comeback..probably not. read more

It was a great time, enjoying a glass of wine with my friend, and eating lobster sushi in Kasa Moto lounge. The atmosphere is so warm and the customer service is upscale. Highly recommend! read more

Don't waste your time! I cannot comment on the food, because we were never seated or fed. I can comment on the terrible service, from the hostess to the manager. The concierge at our hotel recommended Kasa Moto and made the reservation for us. When we arrived we were told that the next available table was finishing up and we were asked to have a seat in the bar. After 35 minutes, and seeing other parties seated ahead of us, Hubby asked the hostess about our table. She replied that they she'd tried to call us, but we didn't answer. When my husband responded that she had not asked for our phone number, she just stared at him blankly. Hubby came back to the bar and asked a waitress to get the manager, briefly explaining the issue. We saw the waitress speak to the manager, who then walked up front and then into the back, without stopping to speak with us. The waitress then came over with menus and offered to serve us in the bar. We saw previous reviews with similar stories...we should have headed their warnings. read more

This place has one of the nicest interiors in downtown Toronto and good service. However, the food is completely subpar. We ordered about eight different items and only two were good--the beef carpaccio and salmon tataki. After those appetizers it was all downhill. The octopus was dry and tasteless. Probably the worst dish we had. The wagyu that is cooked on a hot stone on your table is fun but tasted rotten! Everything else we got was forgettable. Mushrooms were oily and tasteless. Lotus roots were also oily and regrettable. Even the Ceasar's was bad. read more

SNOBS! All THREE of the hostesses were completely rude and stuck up. I stopped in for a drink and a bit of sushi and was met with three rude women who treated me like I didn't have any business in breathing the same air as them. I was brushed aside and I left quietly. I've never been treated so badly in all my travels. read more

The Wagyu beef was a hot stone was great and interesting. Everything was good but way over priced. $60+tax+tips for 15 pcs of sashimi? I don't know. I have tried better sashimi for a much lower price. Environment and atmosphere were not bad. read more

I came here with a couple of friends for Summerlicious. When we first walked into the restaurant, we were greeted and seated right away because we had reservations. The restaurant wasn't too busy at this time as it was still pretty early. We were seated beside the windows facing the streets of Yorkville, nothing to complain about here. The windows of the restaurant were floor to ceiling windows that opened up completely and the chairs they had were comfortable lounge chairs. The restaurant was very posh and sophisticated with lots of hanging lights, simplistic decor and wood tables. We were greeted by one waitress whom asked if we were all doing Summerlicious and had to wait a couple of minutes before our drink orders were taken by another waitress. It seemed to me that they were kind of deciding among themselves which tables they were to serving. My friends ended up ordering the white wine they had on special, which I believe was a Chardonnay. (I wasn't drinking that night - what a surprise!). After that, the waitress took our orders for our orders for appetizer, main and dessert. I went with the Lobster Miso Soup with tofu, enoki mushrooms, scallions. For my main dish, I decided to go with the Black Garlic Soba Noodles with kale, shiitake, cherry tomato, black garlic sauce. For dessert, I chose the Chocolate Stone which was essentially a Chocolate Mousse, shaped like a stone with black sesame cream, candied sesame to garnish. I really enjoyed my Lobster Miso Soup. It was delicious, tasteful and a twist on the regular Miso Soup. The main dish was also delicious, refreshing and just the right amount of sauce. The dessert was also yummy, but nothing spectacular or out of the ordinary. My friends decided to go with the same appetizer as me, but different main dishes and desserts. The main dish they decided on was the Misoyaki Chicken Karashi with miso, potato puree, bok choy, fried leeks. They said their Chicken was so salty! They almost couldn't finish the dish because it was so salty. I tried a bite of their chicken and they said they wished they ordered my main instead. For dessert, one ordered the Mochi - which came with a mango, sesame, and strawberry mochi, tasted exactly the same as what you would get from an Asian grocery store. The other one ordered the Strawberry Shortcake - which was mediocre. All in all, the food was okay, the price range for the food was over-priced for what it was worth and the service was pretty good considering the waitress came by to ask how everything was and if we needed anything else throughout the dinner service. The only thing was when we asked for the bill, it took a while for them because it got really busy. We didn't end up sitting on the patio, but I heard it was beautiful and there was a really long line up with a guest list for the patio as we were leaving. I think if I do end up coming back in the future, I'll try their overpriced sushi menu and give a patio a shot. read more

See all

Very great ambience and they offered wagyu steak that you can grill yourself on the stone. I also really enjoyed sharing the poké and beef carpaccio with my friends. Kasa Moto is located in Yorkville so the menu items were slightly overpriced but overall a great spot for top Japanese cuisine and spending time w friends. read more

I had a reservation and got a really crappy table, can't say I got to see what the restaurant looks like as I was seating at a table in a narrow hallway....the staff was arrogant, server and what appeared to be a manager. Told one of them there was vomit in the washroom and almost felt bad for telling him, didn't seem like he appreciate being told the washroom was painting a bad image of the restaurant (supposed to be fancy and in Yorkville right?) I won't come back. read more

I have to say, this place was outstanding. It's kind of like izakaya, and very contemporary. The food was incredibly delicious and the waiter was very nice. If you ever decide to visit Toronto, try this place out! read more

Red tuna and hamachi Sashimi is amazing, wagyu was cooked perfectly however a bit salty, comfortable ambiance and great for get togethers

Not bad at all. Saturday evening, busy as expected but we were still taken care of. Sushi was great, and I will be back again for which I'm grateful. I'll be trying the wygu on the hot stone next time. Definitely looks to be a bit trendy, but I can look past that overall. Decent atmosphere. A bit smoky though from the hot stone cooking. If I brought my vegetarian wife we would have left because of the steak smoke and overwhelming scent. read more

Within the ten dishes we ordered, only the mushroom rice with truffle and black cod are memorable

This restaurant is absolutely phenomenal. From the food, the ambiance, and more. The best part? The staff is exceptionally knowledgeable about the menu and very honest on their opinions which me and my boyfriend appreciate. We have gone to order something and they will suggest something else. This is great especially when you will be paying as much as it is. We recommend the Waygu beef rice! read more

Great opening night. Bartenders are fantastic.
