This modest looking restaurant with only about 30 seats serves a range of southern Kyushu dishes, along with a delectable omakase selection including fish sourced directly from a market in Fukuoka. Skippa is undoubtedly our number one choice of Japanese restaurant in Toronto, which is saying a lot, because we have been to many of them! Located in the Harbord Village neighbourhood, Skippa is helmed by chef Ian Robinson, whose credentials include apprenticing under Toronto’s premier sushi chef, Matsuhiro Kaji. You may remember my mention of Skippa in this recipe for shiso pesto salmon and maitake mushrooms. Here is a small selection of what I think are the best Japanese eateries in Toronto, Canada. Nonetheless, many of these places are still very authentic and of excellent quality. This is a relatively small population compared to other ethnic groups in the region, and interestingly, several Japanese restaurants in the city are not run by Japanese owners. Since travel is still off the table for now, I am stuck with experiencing the tastes of Japan locally, but luckily there are many opportunities to do so here in Toronto.Īs of 2010, there are about 20,000 Japanese Canadians residing in the Greater Toronto Area. A couple years ago, I had the chance to eat up a whole lot of it on my dream trip to Japan, and I wasn’t even remotely tired of it by the time I returned home. As you know, Japanese cuisine is one of my absolute favourites.
I just ordered a plate of aburi sushi and a salmon hand roll from our local sushi joint, inspiring me to write up this post on my favourite Japanese restaurants in Toronto.
