Izakaya Restaurants near North York, ON

“food and services are great 👍“

“Been coming here for years. Still enjoy visiting every once in a while. Japa burger sliders are my wife’s favourite. They are a little on the sweet side though. Everything here always tastes good. The food tastes even better when paired beer or cocktails, which they have plenty of. Service here is usually prompt. Thank you“

“We had such a great experience at this izakaya. The food was absolutely delicious everything felt thoughtfully prepared and full of flavor. The beef tartare was especially memorable: light, fresh, and perfectly balanced. The karaage was another standout—crispy on the outside, juicy on the inside, and seasoned just right.

Service struck that perfect balance—not overbearing, but still attentive and timely, which made the whole experience feel relaxed and enjoyable.

The only small downside was that it was a bit on the darker side, making it a little hard to see at times.

Overall, a fantastic spot and we’ll definitely be back!“

“perfect place to bring your friends from outside of the city if you want to show off Toronto and go to a more local "nice spot" instead of defaulting to King West or something. our server was extremely sweet and accommodating, food came quickly and tasted great, and the overall atmosphere was super cozy and lively.“

“Excellent service. Love the vibe tho I was quite chilly. Food was fantastic. I had the handroll which was a bit hard to eat served in a can. The Salmon Aburi which was delicious. And the oysters which were exceptional.

I had two cocktails. Something with Tori whiskey which was excellent and something with tequila which was a lovely way to start my experience. The sake was also very tasty.

Would definitely come back.“

“Everything was so delicious!

MUST TRY: the monkfish liver, any of their udon dishes and the old Korean-style Whole Fried Chicken.

Parking is a bit tricky. We parked at the back as some businesses were closed during the weekends so we parked there, but I would be careful during working business hours.“

“It was not busy at the time. Food was good. Serve staff was friendly“

“Food is really good. Fresh salad. Not greasy.
Tasty food and really better than a lot of Izakaya place. 5 out of 5.

Service: very attentive and caring. No complaints.

Atmosphere is warm and cozy. I could have spent a whole evening hanging out here. Then I have to be considerate and allow others to enjoy the experience.

Would I come back, absolutely yes!“

“Good food and reasonably priced“

“The wagyu was definitely worth getting. Staff is awesome and smiles throughout. All around great experience in a small but capable Japanese restaurant <3“

“What a vibe. I ordered on Uber Eats more than a couple times before actually coming here to eat. They deserve more stars, there skewers and mackerel are so gas, and honestly it’s such a vibe, their decorations are so cute and makes me feel like i’m in Japan. They’re also all Japanese people and super nice, 100% deserve 5 stars and more.“

“Great spot for small plates and drinks!

Love the vibes here. It really does remind me of Japanese izakaya. Their pressed sushi is a signature! Dont skip on the karaage cuz the sauce with a onsen egg is bomb!

It can get busy and its a small place. So go early!“

“Scallops is amazing Yuzu Miso Black Cod is very delicious Dessert platter is lovely All the servers are very friendly“
