Japanese master chefs just opened a new omakase restaurant in Toronto

A pair of Japanese master chefs who also just so happen to be brothers-in-law and have over 50 years of experience in the culinary industry combined have just opened the doors of a brand new omakase restaurant in Toronto.

The Onda is a new restaurant that just opened in Toronto offering pricey but perfectly presented set omakase menus.

A 14-course lunch omakase set menu is priced at $135, and a whopping 20-course dinner omakase set menu is priced at $250.

“At The Onda, we offer a carefully curated omakase experience – a “chef’s choice” tasting menu that celebrates the beauty of the seasons. Each course is crafted with the freshest ingredients, showcasing a balance of tradition, innovation, and artistry,” reads the official website for The Onda.

“As our omakase experience begins promptly at the reserved time, we kindly ask that guests arrive at least 15 minutes prior to the start of the course. Please note that we do not offer kids’ menus or vegetarian options.”

The lunch omakase set menu is available on Friday, Saturday and Sunday from 12:30 pm. to 2:30pm, and the dinner omakase set menu is available on Monday as well as Wednesday through Saturday from both 5 pm to 7pm and 7:30 pm to 9:30 pm, and also on Sunday from 6pm to 8 p.m.

“At The Onda, our name (恩多) carries a profound meaning in Japanese – a place of abundant blessings. It reflects gratitude, the richness of life’s offerings, and the joy of sharing. Just as waves flow endlessly with grace, our omakase menu – a chef’s choice of tasting menu – captures the rhythm of the seasons, celebrating nature’s fleeting beauty through refined cuisine and heartfelt hospitality,” reads the official website of The Onda.

“Founded by two brothers-in-law, Onda is built upon nearly 50 years of combined culinary expertise. One brings over two decades of mastery in weaving together Japanese and Korean flavours; the other, twenty years dedicated to the precision and artistry of omakase. Together, we have created a dining experience where heritage meets innovation, and where warmth is expressed through understated elegance. Guided by the spirit of abundant blessings, we invite you to discover our passion for omakase dining – a journey of seasonal flavors, crafted with sincerity and refinement.”

The Onda has now swung open its doors in Toronto at 750 St. Clair Ave. W. Reservations are available to be booked online.
