Jumi Gozen Bar

What a wonderful dining experience! Definitely recommend everyone to come try out this newly opened Japanese Omakase restaurant! Service was very good, the chef will explained every dish he served. He also told us the story about why the appetizers were served all together instead of one by one! Love the plating and the plates and utensils they used, very unique and elevated the dining experiences. We did the premium sushi, all fishes were super fresh and the textures and the sushi rice sweetness were all just perfect, loved it! They changes menu seasonally, looking forward to their summer menu already!

Had lunch here the other day and my whole experience was wonderful from beginning to end! The staff were really kind and helpful. Loved that the chefs explained what each part of the meal was. The fish was so fresh and delicious . I definitely would come again!! Thank you for the yummy food Jumi!

I went to Jumi for our anniversary and we both greatly enjoyed the experience! We loved the ambiance and the presentation of the food. Everything was very well done and delicious. The array of ingredients were all very fresh. The chef's that prepared it took care of the process with patience. It was honestly a beautiful art to not only look at but to have and taste aswell. The service was attentive, always making sure to move our plates for next courses and filled out waters accordingly.

Best dining experience I’ve had in awhile! Every dish looked like a piece of art. Loved the ambience and attention to detail. Staff was so kind and accommodating. I highly recommended their Gozen set for any upcoming special occasion, but be sure to read their cancellation policy before booking as it appears to be strict. Will be back soon to try their takeout menu.

It is a new open restaurant just a few months. We were there on time and watched them clean & setup tables. There was no reception waiting area. I think it can be arranged a little better. The Fall dinner menu they served was "Kaiseki ryori" style of food. Most of the dishes were prepared. It was a bit awkward at some points the chefs were watching you eating. There was a self-cook dish but the beef was tough. Overall experience was good and I think there are rooms to improve. We would like to come back to try their lunch menu. Keep up the good work and food!

A luxurious dining experience. I dropped by for lunch and luckily there was no need for reservations during their lunch service. The menu was small with a couple of items; sushi set, aburi set, wagyu don and maybe another set? But I genuinely cannot recall. I came here for the sushi and I did not walk away disappointed. Their lunch set came with the main which was the nigiri and aburi/pressed sushi in our case, miso soup, sashimi and an ikura salad. The plating was beautiful and everything was delicious. The fish was fresh and there was a nice variety of nigiri with no repeats. For about $50.00 per person this is definitely a splurge. Would I do it again? Yes. Why? Because it FELT like an omakase experience except I get all the sushi at once with extra fixings on the side.

Special experience unlike any other in the GTA. The Gozen concept admittedly is a little foreign to me and honestly it's a bit of a gamble as chances are you're not going to find every dish on that tray is a 10/10. But the overall presentation, creativity, and freshness is all there as well as solid service from Dan and team. All of their premium nigiri are top notch and their take out menu is actually a solid value for the quality you get. My favourites from the Gozen menu this time around were the firefly squid and the mackerel confit. The overall experience is going to depend on whether or not you can come in with an open mind. Seeing a lot of reviews talking about the value/portion size boggles my mind. It's not about getting you filled up for cheap, you're paying for the care and thought they put into the menu. Overall there's a lot of potential at Jumi and I suspect the experience will continue to improve as they further refine their menus. Looking forward to coming back in the future

My friend recommended this place to try and it did not disappoint! Really good Japanese food in Toronto. The winter menu was good value compared to other omakase places as we were very full and such a cool experience to see how all the dishes were made

Here is my feedback: I got the $98 Jumi Signature dinner Scallop in the miso could be more tender. Cherry blosson tofu was very dense, dry, and not for me. Mackerel was very dry. When the mackerel is this dry, the foam and the sauce just could not save the dryness. Braised bamboo shoot with uni had the smallest amount of uni I have ever seen. There wasn’t enough uni for the two pieces of bamboo. There should probably have been double the uni to create a balanced dish. Lightly seared wagyu beef did not do justice for the beef as they were three very thin slices, yet it was also slightly tough with not much flavour. The squid in the firefly squid sumiso was great, yet the greens were flavourless and desperately needed more sauce. The 6 piece sushi was good. However, why are the 6 piece sushi not served piece by piece? Throughout the dinner, there were staff behind the counter just standing around. Instead of only serving the “premium sushi” piece by piece for an additional 30 dollars, the standard 6 pieces should also be served piece by piece, and I find this distinction of service between the types of sushi tiers to frankly be out of place. This place is set up a lot like your classic sushi bar / omakase places. However, there is nothing interesting happening behind the counter. The staff should strive to foster a lively, fun, dynamic and interactive setting, instead of a rather awkward quiet one that I had my dinner in. I found all patrons talking very awkwardly and quietly as the place was quite dull. I will add however, the waitress was kind. I appreciate them trying to “honour Japanese tradition and pay homage by serving these luxurious meals to our valued diners with a modern twist”, but I would argue this is far from it. I appreciate that they asked for feedback during my dinner, but I felt it was better if I left the constructive criticism here since I did not see any of it when reading reviews before hand. It took the two of us an hour to get through this meal. Having been to Miku, JaBistro, Yasu, Shoushin, Sushi Masaki Saito and others, the experience I had here tonight was far from my expectations. I would be more than happy to revise the review in the future if things are improved upon.

My friends and I are disappointed in this tasting menu. Let me tell you why. Before we start, the server asked if we want wagyu beef and is extra $35. First, the plating presentation was what got us. The sashimi very fresh and wish it was more. Everything else was good but didn't wow us. My friends and I don't eat pork and we didn't get anything in advance about it. When the wagyu dish comes... it was a disappointment. It was just like a slice of beef served in the udon soup. The price of the tasting menu did not include dessert. Overall, big disappointment. I don't approved it and will not recommend to anyone.
