Jumi Gozen Bar

Came here for lunch to celebrate my wife’s birthday. It was great! Classic omakase for a decent price. Parking was convenient downstairs in covered parking.

Nice intimate date night place for omakase. We had the $88 summer special, which includes soup, 10pc nigiri, ikura bowl, maki, handroll, and dessert. Sake flight had nice selection. Ordered additional aka ebi and otoro. For the price, aka ebi is definitely better. Removing a star as pieces could be thicker, and we almost missed out on a nigiri. Make sure you pay attention to how many pieces you've received.

Came in for lunch. The place is lovely, parking situation is a tad difficult when the restaurant is a part of a condo complex. The experience was great, speed/tempo was good. It is a lot of food for me for lunch, 10 nigri + fotomaki + hosomaki + salmon roe don + toro hand roll = too much rice (carbs) for us. Fulfilling yes, I prefer a little more variety with less rice. Sushi rice was well made, fish is fresh and plenty. I will consider coming back for sure!

Visited Jumi Gozen for their summer special tasting menu for $88. Overall, it was an okay experience. I did enjoy that it was a smaller, quieter restaurant which made it a little more intimate. Everything tasted good, but for the price I expected the quality and variety to be better. We started off with a standard dashi and moved on to the nigiri including Hokkaido scallop, sea bass, ocean trout, BC uni, various cuts of tuna, and the like. The maki rolls flavour wise were good, but the seaweed was always very soggy. The fillings included gourd and eel with egg, mushrooms, and cucumber. If this was offered at a cheaper price, I would recommend trying it but as it is, there are other options that offer a better experience at similar pricing.

Food was exceptional 👌. Service is welcoming and overall I feel the value is totally worth it. We got the $88 set and was very impressed with the selection and the thought behind the dishes. Would recommend to give it a try.

Came here on a Thursday night, it was quiet. Note that there are only 10-12 seats at the counter, facing the sushi chef. Omakase style menu, near the end of the omakase courses, we were presented an a la carte menu, in case we wanted more food. But I was already very full at that time so I passed on that.

Came here to celebrate my birthday, compare to other Japanese restaurants in Toronto, this restaurant is good, but compare to other omakase, I’ll say it’s below average. However, the restaurant knew that it’s my birthday and prepared a little birthday surprise for me, it’s nice for them to do it.

I wanted to like this more than I did. The space is moody and intimate, and the staff were very friendly and attentive. The food was fine. We were there for the special holiday dinner menu. Everything was presented so beautifully, but some dishes just didn't work quite as intended. The yellowtail starter was a bit fishy and the meat was tough. I was informed it was supposed to be like that. I'm not a fish connoisseur so okay, sure. I really appreciate the creativity that went into every bite, I just felt some were overly complicated. My real problem is that after spending over $200 per person, I was still hungry.
