Best Izakayas in Toronto / Ontario

Really beautiful place. I’d recommend the floor sitting rather than the table sitting as it gets really crowded and packed. Then again it could be because I went on a Friday night. But overall the food was amazing, the vibe and ambiance was amazing and inexpensive too. Parking was difficult though as it was downtown

These guys are really on top of their game with wonderful food and exceptional service! Highly recommended, in an area where it seems a surplus of good choices exists for the hungry diner, this izakaya really stands out. There are specials that change frequently, a deconstructed potato salad (bacon bits, fried onions, mayo, mustard, eggs, plus the namesake potatos) was absolutely shocking in the freshness and savouriness of its components, the sushi fish specials are always exceptionally tasty, the tempura and kalbi (ribs) are popular dishes (among other diners we noticed) for good reasons, very good and compelling reasons indeed! We particularly love the octopus dish which presents a really tender piece of invertebrate tentacle, plus potatos, backed with some very complex sauces involving garlic and miso. The rice plus protein (eg beef, pork, eel) bowls are remarkable as well, highly satisfying as comfort food if you desire that. Looking forward to going back regularly... Note too there is a happy hour daily up to 630PM with cheaper bar food items, eg fries and cheaper draft sapporo. Well worth the cheapness there!

Great sushi and shrimp tempura. Wasn’t as big of a fan of the udon carbonara but everything else was great The vibe was also lots of fun! Tons of celebratory sake shots and birthday wishes at other tables

Love this place! Super friendly and fun staff, great food. Looking forward to going back.

Good and fresh food! The place is well kept. We ordered the lunch $44 chef menu. Awesome, good size sushi, refreshing sorbet at the end!
