JaBistro is a new restaurant in Toronto opened more than 6 months ago.

Established in November 2012 and tucked away on Richmond Street between Simcoe and Duncan, JaBistro is warm and intimate, set off by an elegant and chic design of light wood panels and exposed brick. Respecting the ingredients and its natural flavours, JaBistro offers a sophisticated approach to traditional Japanese fine dining. The modern Japanese bistro mixes classic with contemporary by sourcing the finest, freshest fish from coastal waters around the world, and creating edible works of art designed to surprise and elevate any night out. Aside from impeccable sushi, JaBistro’s bold and diverse menu also features a selection of hot and cold specialty dishes.

The food was great. We had their set menu and it was a lot of food. Their lobster soup was okay, nothing special so I wouldn't recommend ordering it. Their fish was delicious and the service was great. Definitely a great place to check out if you like upper scale sushi restaurants.

JaBistro is probably one of the best sushi place I’ve been too in Toronto that’s worth the money! Everything we ordered was super fresh and tasty, everything I ate I was shocked every time of how good it tasted! The sashimi literally melts in your mouth, the tuna and salmon was very memorable to me. Our server was also super friendly, she gave us great recommendations and she was super nice and accommodating. The vibe at this restaurant is super nice and I totally recommend checking this place out if you’re looking for a nice sushi place to dine in at! Our table was at the chef’s counter so it was also an experience watching them make the sushi, had an amazing time I will definitely be back!

Highly recommend this quaint restaurant, the food is top tier and so is the service. It’s on the expensive side but every bite was a work of art and expertise. We got the omakase set menu ( very well priced if compared to al a carte). We also got “Aburicious” which was a mind blowing selection of torched flavoured sushi.

Celebrated my graduation here and they took great care of us! Even wrote congratulations! The food was exactly how I wanted it to be. It was delicious fresh fish and the portion sizes were good too!

Went here for the first time the other day as an alternative to Miku. We got the omakase which was really good but for the price point of the meal, I expected to be blown away. Our server was not able to read the table cues and kept interrupting mid conversation / and we were feeling rushed with each plate. I would go here again if it was organized by someone else but I wouldn’t make a reservation here myself

Amazing. Randomly found this place and was so lucky. You need to get the salmon sushi and the shrimp pressed sushi. It was topped with a basil pesto and was phenomenal. So good we ordered another one.

This restaurant is amazing - the food, service, and atmosphere were all on point. We had the omakase tasting menu was delicious and every course was better than the last. I look forward to coming back again when I’m next in Toronto.

Had a lovely time at JaBistro! Service was fantastic! Attentive and knowledgeable wait staff. Great sake selection, highly recommend the Niwano Uguisu, smooth, easy to drink and on the sweet side. Food was good, the salad and the Kama(Hamachi) was excellent! Everything else meets the bar for a restaurant of this calibre. The braised scallops could use a bit more acidity and salt, also was a bit well done. The Wagyu was also not the best quality.
