Besto Sushi
Ontario, Canada

Menu — fresh, seasonal, and thoughtfully prepared

Our menu highlights a curated selection of nigiri, signature rolls, small plates, and a seasonal omakase. Each item is prepared to order using precise rice seasoning, careful knife work, and balanced garnishes. We rotate seasonal offerings frequently to reflect market availability and to highlight Ontario produce alongside responsibly sourced seafood. Whether you choose à la carte items, a chef-curated tasting, or one of our packaged lunch sets, every plate is crafted to emphasize texture and clarity of flavor. For guests who prefer plant-forward options, our menu includes several vegetarian and composed vegetable dishes that use the same attention to technique and seasoning as our seafood preparations. Please consult the allergen guidance on this page and contact our team for specific ingredient questions or to request menu modifications. For pick-up and delivery orders, we package items to maintain temperature and texture while minimizing single-use waste. If you are joining us for omakase or a chef's table, we recommend reserving in advance to ensure availability for the freshest market selections.

Menu categories

Nigiri & Sashimi

Focused pieces highlighting single ingredients.

Our nigiri and sashimi selections emphasize pristine fish, rice that is seasoned and cooled to achieve ideal texture, and minimal garnishes to let each ingredient speak. Pieces change with daily catch and availability; you may encounter Atlantic salmon, bluefin-friendly selections where sustainable, tuna sourced with traceability, scallop, and other seasonal items. Portions are sized for tasting progression, allowing guests to experience contrast in texture and temperature across courses. For sashimi, we present cuts with attention to thickness and temperature; for nigiri, every grain of rice is hand-formed to hold and present the fish at its best while releasing flavor with each bite. We honor traditional accompaniments—fresh wasabi, soy, and a touch of citrus or salt—applied by the chef when appropriate. Guests with texture or temperature preferences are welcome to specify when ordering, and our team will adapt plating to ensure clarity and balance across each piece. The preparation methods maintain ingredient integrity while offering an accessible tasting progression suitable for both newcomers and seasoned sushi lovers. This approach creates a focused tasting that complements our broader menu offerings.

Signature Rolls & Small Plates

Creative rolls and shareable plates for groups.

Our signature rolls balance texture and temperature—crispy elements, creamy avocado, and bright sauces used sparingly. We offer classic-style maki alongside modern compositions that incorporate tempura, torched toppings, and house-made sauces. Small plates pair well with rolls and include seasonal salads, marinated vegetables, and warm items that contrast with raw selections. These dishes are ideal for sharing and are designed to maintain structural integrity for pick-up and delivery when ordered. Ingredients are chosen to provide contrast: creamy and crunchy, acidic and savory, warm and chilled. While some rolls lean into bold, modern flavors, others maintain a restrained profile that highlights a single premium ingredient. Portions are sized to facilitate group tasting or a composed meal when combined with nigiri and sides. Our team carefully times hot items to ensure they arrive fresh and maintain the intended texture when served. We recommend mixing categories to build a balanced meal that showcases the breadth of technique in our kitchen.

Seasonal Omakase & Vegetarian Options

Chef's tasting menus and thoughtfully composed plant dishes.

Our seasonal omakase offers a chef-led sequence that changes daily to reflect the best available ingredients. The menu is crafted to tell a story across courses, alternating raw and cooked, light and savory, delicate and robust. For guests preferring plant-forward or pescatarian options, the omakase can be adapted with advance notice to focus on vegetables, preserved flavors, and seafood choices that align with dietary needs. Vegetarian items are developed with the same attention to technique—seasoned grains, pickled and roasted produce, soy-based components, and umami-rich preparations that provide depth. We encourage diners to share dietary requirements at booking so the chef can plan seasonal sequences that honor both availability and guest preferences. The omakase experience is intimate and paced, allowing the chef to present highlights and explain selections, making it ideal for guests who want a deeper connection to ingredients and technique. These menus celebrate seasonality and local sourcing while offering a refined tasting progression for memorable meals.

Sourcing, allergens, and ordering

We source seafood with an emphasis on transparency and sustainability, working with regional suppliers and distributors committed to responsible practices. Our procurement focuses on quality and traceability to ensure freshness and reduce environmental impact. Because sushi relies on raw or lightly cooked elements, we take food safety seriously with strict cold-chain handling and preparation protocols. If you have allergies or dietary restrictions, please notify our team prior to arrival or when placing an order so we can adapt ingredients and avoid cross-contamination where possible. We maintain clear allergen information for common triggers such as shellfish, soy, wheat, sesame, and nuts. For pick-up and delivery, we package items separately when requested and include clear labeling for any allergen-containing components. Our online ordering platform and staff can help guide choices that suit gluten-free, pescatarian, vegetarian, and other dietary preferences. For events and larger orders, we create detailed ingredient lists and offer tasting samples where feasible. When placing omakase reservations, advising us of allergies early allows the chef to curate a safe and satisfying tasting sequence. Our goal is to combine hospitality with transparency so guests can enjoy the menu with confidence and clarity about ingredients and handling practices.
