Omai

Omai Restaurant, nestled in Toronto’s eclectic Baldwin Village, brings a fresh perspective to the city’s Japanese culinary scene. In November 2024, chefs Tae Youn and Igor Goldshmidt—alumni of the Culinary Institute of America with experience in top restaurants across Manhattan, Washington, D.C., and Florida—took ownership, infusing the space with new energy and a global vision. Led by Executive Chef Steven Liao, the elegantly transformed sushi bar offers innovative Japanese dishes with bold Korean influences. Signature offerings include temakis like Bluefin Tuna with black truffle and Uni with cauliflower cream, alongside seasonal futomakis. Dedicated to quality, Omai sources only the finest ingredients, prioritizing B.C. and Japanese uni. With a passion for excellence and warm hospitality, Tae and Igor are redefining the dining experience in Toronto—offering exceptional food, thoughtful details, and outstanding value. Omai offers an a la carte experience as well as a tasting menu with sake pairings.
