Izakaya Restaurants near Thornhill, ON

“Mokutan is a cozy izakaya with a booth-style layout, creating a comfortable, intimate atmosphere. It has a very similar vibe and layout to the neighboring Anji Izakaya, but tends to be quieter. The oden soup with beef tendon was especially delicious, although the menu itself is somewhat limited. Parking spaces are also limited, so keep that in mind if you’re planning a visit.“

“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!“

“Delicious food. I really like their takoyaki and chicken nanban. Their dishes and drinks are really unique. They also have a happy hour for $5 beer from 5:30-8pm sun-thurs. Staff is friendly and I would recommended making a reservation as well as they do get busy especially during weekends.“

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

“This place is a hidden gem , i almost don’t want many ppl to know about it. It’s a perfect place for a casual night out with good vibe , cheap drinks and delicioussssss food. I have tried almost everything on their menu and every-time loved it more than before. The atmosphere and decor can be improved.“

“Friends highly recommended us to try this restaurant, we made reservations last night.!When we entered the server said we have two hours for dinner. We ordered different kinds of food to try like deep fried pork belly (melted in your mouth, just the right temperature), unagi risotto (the texture is very rich, the risotto is different than the Italian style), tuna brioche ( once you start to bite there are so many flavors), baked oysters (must try, I like the creamy mixture), Napa burger sliders ( we saw so many tables ordered this plate, we also tried and found out it’s very tasty), ox tongue and honey bread with cream. We also Sangria and Peach flavor soju, both drinks are good. All dishes have distinct flavors and highly recommended to make reservations before you go for dinner.“
