Rin Sushi

Beautifully presented dishes however the food and service quality was not at the $240 price point. The sushi rice was hard and the fish quality was average, we also had to constantly flag down the waitress for more tea (mind you there were only 2 parties = 4 people including us). Other than the presentation, nothing was very special.

Rin had got to be one of the best experiences I've had with Japanese cuisine in Toronto. This restaurant is by far one of the best settings, service, and arrangements of food. Even though it's listed as "Omakase", but truly what you're experiencing is more of "Kaiseki" of Chef Jin's expertise. As this is not just sushi for the whole dining experience. Every dish was very well thought out and prepare with care by Chef Jin. Being able to watch him take such care putting everything together, show how much heart and passion he puts into each dish and item. I am a Japanese culture fanatic, and I wanted to experience what I have while I visit everytime. Chef Jin was truly able to bring back a lot of experience and memories while I was in Japan. The restaurant setting and ambience was quite on par, and the servers were very attentive. It really felt like they've brought Japan to me that evening. It was a big bonus to have smooth jazz music playing in the background to accompany the ambience. Which a lot of people didn't know that, jazz music is a big part of Japanese music culture. That is why when you visit Japan, a lot of bars, restaurants, and cafe plays jazz music in the background. Overall, I highly recommend anyone that is looking for a great experience to come visit Rin Sushi. Take your time to savour every bite, and let the dishes create memories.

Very enjoyable experience. I was served by chefs Jin and James, they were very professional, and the plate decorations were beautiful. I found the ingredients to be fresh and of top quality. Many of the fish served today are rarely seen locally. Lots of different cooking methods used to prepare this kaiseki delight. Service prompt and attentive.

My wife and I visited to celebrate my birthday. We were wondering if quality sushi can be had outside of downtown Toronto and we were quite satisfied with the food at Rin Sushi. The interior was quite large for a Omakase but that just meant more space between us and other guests. We had a good view of Jin (Executive Chef) preparing our meals. He was great! Very knowledgeable (over 20 years of experience) and was very welcoming to us. Took time and thoroughly explained his cooking philosophy and what was being served. Food was excellent as well. Especially the uni handroll and the mackerel sushi. The uni handroll was so fresh and the texture of buttery smooth uni mixed with crunch seaweed had us wanting for more. I personally loved the mackerel as it was so meaty that it felt like I was eating a steak. Of course, all omakases are quite expensive but would love to visit again since making a trek to downtown is quite difficult for people north of Steeles.

What a great dinner at our anniversary day. Chief Jin, his assistances and hostess - thank you for great atmosphere, tasty food and relaxed time. All the dishes are aesthetically unique and tasty. Everything served in time, attention to the clients at top notch level. Amazing atmosphere. Another great sushi, or I would say Japanese cuisine "a must" experience. Pricy for everyday dining but worth it, and definitely place to be for another visit.

Our first omakase experience was a success. Thank you to our gracious host and chef. We availed the regular omakase meal priced at $170 per person. The fish selection was fresh. The style of cooking varied from fresh to grilled to torched. We loved the ender which was a filling truffle mushroom rice dish.

Had the best time here for omakase! We went during non peak hours (around 5pm) and I highly recommend to go when it's not as busy because we were the only party the chef was serving so it felt like we booked out the entire restaurant. Chef Jin was able to explain all the dishes and answer our questions about the ingredients in a lot of detail. You can he really has a passion and dedication to his craft. The ambience was very nice with jazz playing in the background. Now the food itself was amazing 10/10. My first time at omakase and wow I can really taste a difference between the sushi he serves vs. a typical sushi restaurant. He served a wide assortment of fishes I've never eaten before, they were all so fresh! The highlights were definately the super fresh and sweet uni, the fatty tuna, and truffle rice. If I could only eat 1 dish for the rest of my life, it would be that truffle rice with real truffle shaved on top. The chef and server were very accommodating and made sure we were well taken care of. Omakase can be pricey but this place was worth every penny. This would be the perfect place to take your loved ones to for any special occassion.

This was best omakase in GTA for us. We've tried Yasu, Skippa, Miku, and Zen in the past few years but none of them nailed every dish so perfectly as Sushi Rin. It's crazy how their rating is so low... We are so glad that we took the chance despite the lower ratings to try this place out. The only thing we noticed was that the vibe could be improved and the service, especially given the high price point. It was way too bright with not really any mood. With more attentive waitress/waiter and better lighting, we think it's a serious Michelin contender since the dishes were on par or even better than a lot of the Michelin stars we've been to before.
