About Mokutan Yakitori & Oyster Izakaya

Mokutan Yakitori & Oyster Izakaya is a cozy spot in Toronto known for its variety of skewers with salt or sauce options. The restaurant features a booth-style layout that creates a comfortable, intimate atmosphere, similar to neighboring izakayas but generally quieter. Customers enjoy the fresh Japanese dishes, including fried oysters and shrimp mayo, which are highly recommended. The menu also offers dishes like truffle udon, chicken skin skewers, octopus karaage, and oden soup with beef tendon, which many find delicious.

The ambiance is inviting, with a nostalgic vibe that adds to the dining experience. Each skewer is cooked to perfection and bursting with flavor, making it a favorite among yakitori lovers. The fresh oysters are a surprising standout and complement the grilled items well. While the skewers come in a 10-set, the sauces are chosen by the chef, and customers cannot select the sauce for the set, though they can pick sauces for individual skewers. The sauces are all pretty good, with the super spicy sauce being very spicy—perfect for those who love heat.

Parking can be limited, especially at the back, so it may be better to park across the street at Galleria or take the bus. Overall, Mokutan provides a tasteful and friendly Japanese Izakaya experience worth visiting, especially for those craving fresh seafood and skewers. The attentive and passionate staff ensure a smooth service, making it a top-tier izakaya experience in the Toronto area.
