Izakaya Restaurants near Thornhill, ON

“I had an amazing evening at Mokutan Yakitori & Oyster Izakaya. The ambiance is cozy and inviting, perfect for relaxing over good food. The staff were attentive, friendly, and clearly passionate about what they do. Each skewer we tried was cooked to perfection and bursting with flavor. The oysters were fresh and a great complement to the grilled items. Overall a top-tier izakaya experience in the Toronto area — I’ll definitely be back!“

“A great hangout on a Friday night. Comfy atmosphere and top shelf service. We ordered Nagasaki jjampong and paired it with Soju, followed by yuzu high ball. It conjured memories of Omeide yokocho in Tokyo or midtown Busan. Highly recommend it if you are in North York.“

“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.“

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

“I had an absolutely incredible experience here. The ambience was fantastic, the service was great, and-most importantly-the food was incredible. Everything was cooked to absolute perfection and the flavor profiles were deep and rich.

Bravo and thank you to everyone working here.“

“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“
