Hiro Sushi - Toronto, Ontario

Went with family for omakase dinner and all the sushi served were overstuffed with wasabi. Also the last dish served was green peas sushi - which I have never seen or eaten before from my other omakase sushi experiences in the past.... I showed the pictures to my Japanese friends ... and they all confirmed that Japanese people don't serve green peas sushi and questioned why an authentic Japanese restaurant would serve that. Overprice for the quality and value delivered. Read more

This is not just going for sushi, it's a personally crafted sushi experience. You start off by getting to choose your saki glass, then you are left to enjoy yourself while the appetizers are prepared. The appetizers were like nothing I've ever had before! That was the best part of this restaurant. ... I've attached pictures ... There was some sort of soup mixture in a fruit - but the fruit went great. It was like the $20 version of Tim Horton's chili in a bread bowl! The chef is a master sushi chef who brews his own soy sauce and makes his own ginger... I've never eaten freshly brewed soy sauce before. It was perfectly balanced with soy and sauce. The wasabi is perfectly layered into the freshly made sushi exhibition and brought to you with a personal touch. The soup is delicious, sushi is amazing and the ambiance is great. This is expensive, but worth the experience if you've ever wanted to try sushi from aastwr chef. Read more

I've been here many times to count and it is our favorite omakase sushi restaurant in Toronto. If the price fits your budget, I recommend seating at the bar. I think Hiro has the best fish selection in the city. The chef decided what we eat and usually, we are ... nicely surprised. Previously, he served three piece of salmon prepared 3 different ways. Or this other time, 2 types of hamachi and 2 types of eel. More recently, lobster and conch sushi. He is also very skilled. This one time, we had a roll we had to eat immediately so it's crunchy to the bite, otherwise, the seaweed would get soggy with every passing second. Or this ripple octopus cut in a way that is not chewy. Even local Japanese sports celebrity go there for a hometown experience, it tells you how authentic the food is here. Read more

The quality is always been top notch and since the renovations only add to the experience. Go with whatever Hiro suggests.

Hiro Sushi is one of the best sushi restaurants I have been to! I'm really surprised at the 3.3 rating. I had Omakase with a friend and while not cheap - you get what you pay for. I had an amazing experience (great food, great service, great ambience, especially with ... their new renovations). What a great way to catch up over hours with a good friend. If you are looking for a rushed serving experience (this isn't it - this is a place where you go to enjoy your food and to wait patiently for the next dish) ... I lost count with the rounds of fish that were served and left very satisfied. I will definitely be recommending this place to my foodie friends. Read more
