Toronto Restaurants

Love the open concept restaurant, it's beautifully lit and tastefully decorated with Japanese art. The staff of four work very hard to ensure food is served at a nice relaxing pace. The star of the show is of course the innovatively presented yet very authentic Japanese food served on an interesting variety of plates, and arranged artfully with a lot of thought. Don't except a strictly sushi-only dinner, there's a good variety of meat and vegetables as well. Everything was top-notch, fresh, beautifully prepared and tasted delicious. It's the perfect spot for dinner with a small group of four (the place is very small), or with a dining companion who will appreciate the care behind prepared food as well as being open to trying new flavours which vary according to the seasons in Japan. Definitely a great new addition to the authentic Japanese eateries in the city, the price is spot on for the amount of food included in the 9-course omakase. At $150 per person it won't break the bank, but you will definately be enjoying a great, memorable meal for the price. I'd highly recommend the additional $60 sake pairing, if you are so inclined, but there of course is small selection of other alcohol if you wish to try something else. Would love to go back and try the Yukashi omakase option priced at $300 per person, but I was full (I'm not a huge eater) by the 6th course of the 9-course menu so that might be a bit of an overkill for me quantity-wise. You can always order extras from the A la carte menu, of course, if you find yourself hungry. More

A bucket-list menu...beautifully presented, carefully created and so delicious. The chefs did a beautiful job for my vegetarian request, and my husband's meal (with meat) was fantastic. Be sure to go with the wine pairings, absolutely perfect!!! More

This place was AMAZING!!!!! My husband and I found it in hope to find a local foodie joint to eat brunch at for my birthday. It was so incredible and perfect that we ended up eating there again for brunch the next day. The food was fresh, local, nutritious, artistic and prepared perfectly. The owners and staff were super down to earth and friendly and genuine. When we come back we will definitely come back to the Yellow Pear for all brunches. Delicious....delicious... delicious. More

I have been to sushi houses all over Japan and Yasu was every bit as good. Each piece of sushi was delicious and the artistry of each individual piece of food was exceptional. Each piece was explained and what part of the world the fish came from and watching the making of each piece was an absolute treat. More
