Food was a bit overpriced, but to be expected in distillery district. Had the curry udon with chicken which was satisfying along with an old fashioned and whisky yuzu sour. The drinks were great.

Hidden gem in the distillery district. The food and service was very good, the only somewhat negative comment is that the restaurant has been empty each time I've gone, we were the only ones dining and it was during prime lunch time during the week.

This was one of the best restaurants we ate at on our Ontario trip. The maitre D was very attentive, the service was great and the coffee bar host charged my phone.

The food was amazing and the Maitre D ensured my friend's food allergy / food restriction was handled well in the kitchen.

Highly recommend eating at BOKU - which was kindly recommended to us by the owner or staff at the closed for the day ... Marina Bar y Tapas just around...
