An unbelievable experience. My wife and I visited Shoushin for our wedding anniversary and we were not disappointed. On the day... we went, the restaurant had just recently received a Michelin Star and rightfully so... The quality of fish, the presentation,the flavors, the service and the overall atmosphere were second to none. We tasted things that we have never tasted before andShoushin just blew ours minds! There were things that my wife and I normally don't eat at any other Japanese restaurants (Iusually don't like squid and she does not like Uni)... but here... the taste and quality had us enjoying absolutely everything(even the slice of melon at the end of the meal was like nothing we ever tasted before)! All of the staff were extremelyfriendly, courteous and knowledgeable in each of their roles and I must say that this restaurant offered some of the bestservice we have ever received at any restaurant. We will definitely be back to enjoy another incredible meal with all thewonderful people at Shoushin! Read more
We had a great experience here, every dish was outstanding! Their take on preparing certain dishes is so creative, it’s like a... flavour bomb in your mouth. We also did the sake pairing and it was so much fun. The staff are knowledgeable, friendly, keep theconversation going with you which makes this experience that much better. It’s definitely pricey but you are paying for anexperience Read more
Lovely aesthetic and really professional! I personally think it’s a bit overpriced for what you’re getting (compared to... other Toronto Omakase restaurants). But overall a great experience ! Read more

I really feel so disappointed about my dinner experience here, service was good. But the price and the quality of the food was... not equal, I couldn't even bite into one of the sashimi?I was giving lot of expectations of shoushin. Feel really sad aboutthis experience Read more
Shoushin has really matured since my last visit - granted this last visit was in 2017, a time frame approaching five years. We... had plans to go back in 2019, but we all know why that didn’t happen. It’s a restaurant that is more sure of itself:there’s only two menus to choose from with the omakase at $300 or a more personalized experience, the obsession perfection,priced at $450+ depending on the selection. Their staff are more knowledgeable - about the restaurant, alcohol selection, andthe ingredients used – and operates with a synchronized precision that would make Henry Ford happy. Right after the menus arewhisked away, a hot hand towel arrives, followed by cold drinks, and an amuse bouche - a bite of spinach boiled in kelp brothand topped with dried rich tuna flakes. For the winter, the kelp broth seemed to be a cornerstone of their appetizers, acomforting staple like chicken soup. This is followed by another warming dish, a piece of smoked king fish sitting in a puréeddaikon broth. The accompanying cutlery was difficult to use. Although pretty to look at, the wooden spoon combined with ashallow dish made reaching the broth difficult (unless you pick up the vessel and drink from it). From what I manage to get intothe spoon, the savoury silky soup went well with the lightly scented meaty fish. The fish was described as quickly deep fried,but there wasn’t a crunchy element, which if they could have managed a bit of crispiness would have made the dish even moreinteresting Sashimi arrives next, served over three dishes to ensure we enjoyed each one as intended. My favourite dish of thenight was the fatty tuna simmered in plum broth. The rich savouriness of the fish balanced nicely with the slightly sweettartness of the fruit, sort of like having pork chops with apple sauce. It’s fragrant, flavourful, and warming, something Icould have had an entire steak of surely. And before the sushi, a cup of miso soup made with red and aged miso, which was so l Read more
An incredible and delicious omakase experience. A perfect meal for our anniversary. We enjoyed our time at Shoushin so much that... my wife forgot how to walk on the way out… Thank you Shoushin for a perfect dining experience! Read more
