What a lovely chef, and an unbelievable meal. This was one of the best restaurant experiences I’ve had in my entire life. The service was attentive, the food thoughtful and inspired, the atmosphere comfortable and clean. On its own, the menu was incredible. Every single plate was well-described and beautifully prepared. I may never recover. And Gino… was LOVELY. I have met many chefs, and dined in fine-dining/Michelin-quality restaurants around the world. This was a superior experience. Gino was knowledgeable, kind, and friendly in a way that is truly rare. We would have come back for the food alone, but Gino made it a memory and an experience. He also personally (and kindly) chased us down to return my purse — the food was so good that I completely forgot it. Thank you — from a couple of new Canadian transplants who felt infinitely welcomed and well-fed.
WOW! Best omakase sushi I have ever had! This place did not disappoint! Gino is welcoming and very efficient. He makes his own soy sauce from 6 month aged Spanish mackerel! What?!?! I left full and happy! If you love sushi and are a foodie I would highly recommend this place! Very worth the hype!
Gino is incredible.....every dish was excellent
Can’t forget the excitement from chief Jino’s face when he explained about the fish of the day. Maybe you have experienced Q, Nozawa, or Shunji but this place will give you beyond and above experience than all other restaurants.
Omakase by Gino is a 10 seat restaurant where Gino prepares all the dishes. All the dishes were great and the flavors of the fish used in the nigiri were fantastic. My favorite dishes before the nigiri were the chawanmushi and uni pasta. The chawanmushi had great crab flavor and the texture of the noodles and uni worked really well together.
Second time here and just as impressed as the first. Not only does Gino make the most delicious items, he's got a few stories to tell as well.
