I don’t post reviews often, but the chef deserves a genuine compliment. The restaurant’s ambiance, experience, and food were all excellent unlike some of the reviews you may encounter. But here’s the most important part - despite the fact that the menu focuses on the fusion of cuisines, I encountered an authentic falvour of “home”, which is Korea for me. The chef is Korean who trained in Japan and aims to serve a unique Asian cuisine in the diverse and competitive market of Toronto. His maki roll “The Hot Mess” underneath its exquisitely savory and spicy sauce, I was met with the flavoured rice that took me right back to the elementary school days in Korea when I shared kimbab rolls with classmates on field trips. Thank you for a great experience and taking me on a trip back to my childhood!
