Shunoko - Toronto, Ontario

Casual dining experience with exceptional food and service. Watching the sushi chef in his element, as he crafted each nigiri, was very special. He was meticulous in his work and observant of his guests’ needs. Can’t wait to go back.

Small clean restaurant, 10 seats at chef’s counter with extra seating around the shop. $100 omakase for 17 courses was great value. Really enjoyed most of the courses, especially the sashimi platter and otoro nigiri. The veggie handroll was bland and unimpressive, could be improved with added fish or protein.

One of the best value Omakase offerings in the city. Interesting, a few uncommon and fresh ingredients from Japanese and European waters were used for the Sushi Neta. Very friendly and informative sushi chef and lady server. The 'all fish' routine, with very similar dressing, tends to become a bit monotonous after ... the first 6-7 pieces. The use of other forms of seafood.....shellfish, crustaceans...etc to break up the routine should add more enjoyment. The use of truffle oil in a few toppings tends to be ' hot or miss '.....for me, the pungent aroma was a bit too overwhelming! Wines chosen for the pairing was interesting but not totally compatible. IMO, Sake is a better pairing choice! Read more

First ever omakase experience and it did not disappoint. Favourite part was most definitely the sushi round which served individual pieces at a time to patrons. Each sushi was unique to its own with specific ingredients procured from different regions of the world. Time passed by too quickly as I ... could’ve eaten more. Given the process of serving food, dining etiquette was at first confusing for a first time noob like myself but I quickly adapted to the experienced patrons near me. The staff here is also exceptionally kind as my wife mentioned it was my birthday and the chef presented me an extra piece of sushi with a candle. Turns out you can also let them know ahead of time and they’ll generously prepare a piece of birthday cake. All in all it was a great experience and a definite recommendation for sushi lovers and foodies alike. Read more

Best omakase and wine pairing experience we’ve had so far! The chef and waitress provided friendly and excellent service. Similar to all the previous reviewers, this is the best value omakase. For a guaranteed great date night, this is the spot!
