They have a Japanese sushi chef prepare it right in front of you. Very meticulous in preparing the food even considerate of guests preferences to ask them about Uni. Oishikatta!

For our group of five, we started with Crudo ($28), Wagyu Carpaccio ($29), and Lobster Miso Soup ($8). For the main course, we opted for the Sashimi platter with 42 pieces ($155), Ebi Oshizushi ($19), Wagyu Oshizushi ($26), Jabistroll ($24), and Aburicious ($29), along with a few à la carte sushi options: Chu-Toro ($22), Hotate ($14), and Uni ($34). To finish off, we shared two panna cottas ($15). Overall, I really enjoyed the meal; the food was fresh, and the service was very attentive.

Beautiful ambiance, outstanding nigiri, and some of the best aburi in Toronto.
I came to Ja Bistro for dinner and missed the tasting menu by a few minutes, so I went with the Nama (seven-piece classic nigiri), the Aburi assortment, and the lobster miso soup. Even though the soup only had one small lobster piece, the broth was incredibly rich and flavourful — a really comforting start.
The Nama nigiri was easily the highlight of the night. Each piece was visually stunning (see photos) and had a distinct, clean flavour that really showcased the freshness of the fish. The aburi set added great contrast — warm, lightly torched, with beautifully layered textures and toppings. You can see in the photos how perfectly seared each piece is.
I’ll admit, the portion sizes looked modest at first, but the whole meal ended up being very satisfying. It’s definitely pricier than the typical sushi spots I visit, but the quality, execution, and presentation make it 100% worth it for a sushi night out.
The ambiance is exactly what I love about Ja Bistro — cozy, romantic, and softly lit, with warm wood accents and a clean minimalist design. The soft music in the background made the whole experience feel calm and relaxed. The interior photos I posted show the warm lighting and elegant counter setup.
Service was great: I was seated right away, my server came over immediately, and all the food arrived quickly — which I appreciated because I came in absolutely starving.
Overall, Ja Bistro remains a top pick for elevated sushi in Toronto. I’d come back just for the Nama alone. Highly recommended.

The sushi and hand rolls simply melt in your mouth! I’ve had sushi all over North America and this has to be one of my top favorite places ever. I went by myself and the service was great, very warm and friendly

Service was impeccable. The lunch omakase set was well worth the price. As others have mentioned, the panna cotta was definitely a highlight.

Divine!! I dined solo at the sushi bar last night and had the Autumnal prixed fix meal - my time at JaBistron was absolutely glorious from start to finish. From the greeting at the door to the wonderful service to the incredible service. 10/10!

Always amazing food and amazing service. This is my favourite sushi restaurant in the city. Love the sushi counter. Its never too loud which is great.
Fabulous dining experience. Excellent service, fabulous sushi, beyond words. One of the best sushi experiences I've ever had. Strongly recommend!

We had a wonderful experience at JaBistro. Our server Sophie was lovely and offered to accommodate my allergies so that i could take part in the autumn set course with the rest of the party. Very few sushi restaurants are able to accommodate my fin fish allergy and substitute with shellfish. Thank you so much JaBistro for an amazing dinner and we can't wait to be back!
