KYUSHU Yakitori Izakaya

T The restaurant isn’t busy on weekdays, and they offer a 20% discount on food and drinks. I only took a few photos of their dishes because most of the food, like sushi and meat skewers, isn’t fresh. It’s really tasteless, off, and lacks smoky flavors. Additionally, the Oden isn’t savory, and I’m not sure if they make their own dashi soup. I think this restaurant is overrated. Another big disappointment is that they don’t use proper sushi soy sauce—it tastes overly salty. For this price, I think there are plenty of better Izakaya options in Thornhill, North York and Downtown. There’s a lot of room for improvement in both cooking and ingredient quality.

If you're there to eat the atmosphere it's great. The service also great. But the food portions are small. Very expensive. Not filling. Tips was already included 18% no need to calculate.
We left to eat again elsewhere

This place was very chill and the food was really good! Skewers were easy to share and tasty. My favourites may be the tamago and the salt chicken! The takoyaki was amazing.

The atmosphere is relaxing and beautiful, not what I expected. It didn't feel like a bar and it was very family friendly! Bathrooms were clean and I love the aesthetic!

Only issue would be that their prices are a little high but it's definitely worth going!

Really good yakitori and weekends have 50% off alcohol. The service was also really good. Everyone was attentive but not overbearing. The food was done fresh and came out hot. The music was a little loud for us but that's our personal preference. Overall though, ill definitely come back and probably being friends and family too.

Excellent service and great ambiance! Servers were very attentive and friendly. You can't help but be drawn in by all the cultural influences and visuals - there was definitely heart and soul poured into creating the restaurant atmosphere. Amazing promos too.

I was really excited since they have a large menu... but I left feeling slightly hungry? The portions were lacking for the price. Between two people we had 10 skewers, an uni creamy udon, Kyushu fries and two drinks. Service was excellent and the vibe of the place was chill/pleasant. The only thing that I could do without was the flashing Christmas lights on one of the pillars. It hurt my eyes, and was a bit distracting. But I ended up switching sides to face away from the flashing lights, so it was fine.

Food highlights:

- Uni creamy udon: flavour was on point, could do with more uni, but overall this hit the spot

- Fukuoka set (3 skewers): I'd never tried whelk or abalone before, but these were charred to perfection and a great taste of the sea. Got this for the scallops, but ended loving abalone and whelk!

- Kyushu fries: never had burdock before but I love! They were perfect with the mentai mayo.

- Peach ginger highball: delicious! Not too heavy on the alcohol but still there. Light peach taste. Was 50% off for their Saturday special. Although it was good, I would skip it at full price.

Had a lovely dinner here, the vibe is fun and the food is great. Kohei was very attentive and nice! The matcha tiramisu and the milk pudding were my absolute fav desserts, definitely a must try. The wagyu tataki, beef skewer, sashimi, the curry, and the oden were all amazing. If you visit this restaurant, definitely check out the washrooms! You don’t be disappointed.
