MSSM Yorkville

We recently visited MSSM in Yorkville for their omakase experience, and it truly exceeded our expectations. From the moment we were seated, the atmosphere felt intimate and thoughtfully curated. Our sushi chef was warm and welcoming, making us feel instantly at ease while remaining attentive to every detail, not just for us but for the entire counter. She guided us through each course with care, sharing her knowledge behind every piece. Watching each sushi being carefully prepared right in front of us added to the magic—it felt personal, intentional, and deeply engaging. The omakase experience at MSSM wasn’t just a meal, but a beautifully paced dining journey. Their menu came with a pickled radish toro handroll, Katsuo as the appetizer and ten different sushi rolls - Madai, Kampachi, Hotate, Kurodai, Zuke Salmon, Akami, Toro, Anago, Dashimaki, Miso soup and desserts. Overall, it was a lovely dining experience. We appreciated how each piece was served individually, allowing us to truly savour the flavours. Every sushi bite was incredibly fresh, and the quality was evident throughout. Definitely worth the money.

I went in with modest expectations, but unfortunately the overall experience still fell short. The attention to detail was lacking — there were no clean plates provided between courses, some of the presentation felt sloppy, and the dishes didn't really showcase individual artistry from the chef. I was also disappointed by the absence of seasonal ingredients, which is usually a key part of a strong omakase experience. Considering we're in Toronto and not Japan, some differences are understandable. That said, Toronto has no shortage of excellent sushi options, whether you're looking for AYCE or à la carte. Compared to what's available locally, this omakase doesn't really stand out. In my opinion, the experience simply isn't at the level that justifies the price, and you're better off dining elsewhere — but that's just my personal take. However, if you’re looking to try an omakase experience for the first time and at a decent price point, go for it. Still makes for a nice date night.

Went during the holidays and was excited to try this place after hearing the online reviews. Personally, I’d say it’s about 90% there overall. Some of the omakase dishes were missing freshness and quality, while others were fine. The service also lacked the white-glove attention you’d expect from a Yorkville restaurant in Toronto. I didn’t mind the neon lights, as some reviewers have mentioned. I actually found the modern vibe refreshing. What did bother me, though, was that the next round of guests were allowed to enter, and stand behind me while I was still dining. It felt uncomfortable being watched while eating. Either create a lounge area for waiting guests or don’t allow them in until their actual reservation time.

🔥 "OMG, where has this sushi gem been all my life?! 🍣 Chefs in training for Michelin stars = expect perfection, and boy did we get it! 🤯 Mixed course menu was a wild ride: pickled radish hand roll, sea bream appetizer, sushi parade, miso soup, and matcha-chocolate dessert heaven 😋. Everything was incredible. Ambience? Intimate & vibey. Plum sake was _dreams_ - floral, tart, smooth (if you know, you know 🍶). Had an incredible night with my llove ❤️😍. 10/10 would die for this sushi again 🥳 #SushiGoals #MichelinVibes"

This was the best and most reasonably priced omakase I’ve ever had. The fish was incredibly fresh, the service was very friendly, and most of all, Alex was amazing. It’s a place I definitely want to come back to. Thank you so much, Alex!

First omakase experience and it certainly met expectations and more! The staff were lovely, attentive and made it a memorable meal. We were delighted to be served by Chef Ken who was gracious enough to share his knowledge about omakase sushi. We enjoyed everything on the menu with standouts being the Hotate, Akami, and Toro. For the price, it’s excellent value if you’re wanting to try an elevated sushi experience. Arigato gozaimashita 🙏🏽

Incredibly well curated and balanced menu. It was a 14 course delight for us and every piece / dish was delicious. I was with a party of 10 and we had a great section of the counter and service split across 2 chefs. Amazing ambience and hospitality.

My husband took me here for my birthday for the first time. The food was cho!!!! Chochocho oishii and the service was amazing! Everyone was so nice and fun. The chef was calm, gentle, and made the experience very pleasant. I got a small birthday gift at the end as well. Thank you so much for such a wonderful night! 🩷
