One of the best restaurants in Toronto, hands down! I’ve been twice now, and the food is absolutely top-notch. Their appetizers are out of this world—we couldn’t get enough of the focaccia and burrata; whatever they put in there is seriously addictive! The beef carpaccio and steak tartare were just as incredible. And the mains? We had to pause and take it all in because they were that good! We tried the cacio e pepe, spaghetti alla nerano, and tortellini—each one was perfection. For dessert, the tiramisu was a flawless 10/10. The service was exceptional, and we felt truly taken care of. Huge compliments to the chef and staff — we can’t wait to come back!

We had a wonderful omakase dinner at Yukashi and greatly enjoyed Chef Izutsu's warmth and humor. He and his staff prepared a delicious tasting menu with seasonal ingredients from various regions of Japan. Sitting at the counter and interacting with Chef Izutsu while he prepared the meal was a very enjoyable and memorable experience. The food and service were both excellent, and we would highly recommend Yukashi.

The food is so good here. Yes, the service is excellent, and the decor/ambience is lovely. But ot my, such tasty food. Tonight we had some kind of mushroom truffle ravioli with amazing parsnip crisps, it was to die for.

It was nice place. Would consider going back. Some of the food came out cold which sucked as we had to wait extra long for the venison. Was told 20-30 minutes but came out 45-50 min later and cold
