If you want to dine in a big restaurant where you can get big serving sizes and see servers and other customers pass by you then this is not your place. This restaurant offers private and personal dining experience that is hard to find in Toronto. The restaurant is small with only 9 seats. We dined with another couple and each group got one server and the host was also taking care of us. The service is excellent and meeting my expectations. We tried the spring menu this time and I love the aged blue fin tuna, squid,monkfish liver, and Hokkaido sea urchin. The portion size is small but you can't feel hungry as you get many dishes. The food is high in quality and sourced from Japan. The chef skills are amazing and he has a great sense of humor. I will definitely comeback to try the menu in different seasons. Thank you team, you guys did a great job!

We spent our 4 year anniversary tonight at Sushi Masaki Saito. It was beyond an incredible experience. The detailed information we learned about the unique ingredients and the techniques to produce them was remarkable. Chef Saito was very engaging, informative and extremely personable. The service was extremely friendly, impeccable and instinctively attentive. What a lavish and luxurious event. We would like to profoundly thank Chef Saito and his excellent staff for such an unforgettable and delightful experience.

I DREAM OF SAITO!Every single thing about this experience was perfection! As I walked up the steps, I could feel the reverence towards detail. Every single person prided themselves on mastering their craft - from the greeter at the door, to the chef whose job was to clap the leaves between his palms to fluff them up to perfection to Saito himself who carefully watched and personally tended to his guests the entire evening. Every single ingredient was prepared with careful consideration given as to how best highlight the most delicate flavours. Not a single detail was missed that night - right down to the individual portion sizes being mindfully adjusted by Saito, so that every single guest was exactly the right amount of full at the end of the meal. I’ll dream of the uni everynight until I can go back. But mostly I left with a full heart thanks to the care that was taken of us. There is a reason this is the only two Michelin star in Canada - in comparison to the other one stars - I would give this place 5 Michelin stars if I could! A magical night that will move you. If I could give you one piece of advice - work your way through the other Japanese Michelin stars first, before coming here, to truly appreciate the subtle but meaningful differences in how they do every single thing.A heartfelt thank you to the entire team at Sushi Masaki Saito for allowing me to have the best birthday experience ever!

Came here before this restaurant was given the 2 Michelin stars. Everything was sourced from Japan. Quality of foods and services were top notch. The server made sure that the tea in my cup was always warm and topped up. Sushi Masaki Saito will definitely be a spot that I will come back to in the future.

Every dish served was mouthwatering, and it seemed that when you thought it couldn't get any better, each new dish surpassed the last one. The two star Michelin chef - Masaki Saito and his people were not only highly skilled - but entertaining as well. The entire staff was present and unobtrusively looked after each and every detail - no matter how small. It was a fantastic total dining experience.
Chef Saito and all other staff knows their food. We had a very nice experience eating there. We enjoyed the black truffle on the fish, the sweet honeydrew and Shaoxing wine on the shrimp and uni. Chef was very humour. He also explained detaily about the rice, the wine and even the Japanese culture.
