“Cool izakaya vibes with a lot of vintage knick knacks. Service was great and servers were all very accommodating and attentive to our needs. They even worked it out so food arrived in order and could fit in our table. Our favorite was dyno wings and the specialty for the night which was karaage. I especially liked the miso ice cream - had incredible taste and texture! Miso steak was mid for us but overall our experience was good.”

“Skewers were bursting with flavour with very little seasoning required. I selected a handful of skewers and drank while waiting for our next reservation and boy was I glad to stumble upon this spot. The ika dish was interesting in terms of texture but it tasted delicious. The skewers I enjoyed included the chicken thighs, beef tongue (A MUST) and shishito peppers. You get a choice between sea salt or teriyaki and I personally enjoyed the simplicity of the sea salt.”

“I was just at Zakkushi on Carlton, terrible service there！！！made me leave before even eating. I came next door to Kintaro, I’m so glad I did. The food here is much better, the flavors are balanced (unlike Zakkushi, which was way too salty), and the service was genuinely friendly and welcoming. This place beats Zakkushi in every way. Highly recommend Kintaro—skip Zakkushi and come here instead.”

“Everything was absolutely delicious and tasted just like the kind of Japanese food you’d get in Japan! I ordered a variety of dishes, including aburi salmon sushi, udon peperoncino, and omurice, and I was impressed by everything. I was especially happy to find eihire (grilled stingray fin) on the menu, as it’s not something you often see at other Japanese izakayas in Toronto. My absolute favorite was the omurice. It was so comforting and reminded me of eating in Japan. I’ll definitely be coming back!”

“Such a great Japanese izakaya! The fried shishamo (smelt fish) and beef rice bowl were absolutely delicious! The fish was perfectly crispy, and the beef rice bowl was flavorful and satisfying. The restaurant has a cozy, authentic Japanese izakaya atmosphere, making it a lovely place to enjoy a meal. Definitely recommend trying these two dishes! 🇯🇵”

“Got the 10 pc mokutan set which was pretty good. I don’t normally eat mushrooms but the grilled shiitake mushroom was really good. Service was very good from both waitresses and food came pretty fast. I liked the booth seating. The free matcha ice cream was u fortunately super disappointing.”

“We had a great experience at Kyushu Yakitori Izakaya! The restaurant has a nice atmosphere and is kid-friendly, making it a great spot for a family meal. There’s a good variety of Japanese dishes, from comforting ramen and grilled skewers to delicious small plates that are perfect for sharing. The food was flavourful, and we really enjoyed being able to try different things. Overall, a great spot for Japanese food in Markham. Would definitely come back with the family!”

“honestly, 10/10!! everything we ordered was BOMB. my boyfriend and i went tonight and shared a bunch of dishes: the spicy tuna poke, nome fried chicken with sweet chili sauce, grilled short rib, tuna coin roll, bulgogi tacos, and japa burgers. every single thing was delicious, but the grilled short rib was definitely my favourite!! the sauce was UNREAL, and the meat was so tender and easy to eat right off the bone. we ordered quite a bit of food, but everything was so tasty, and the portions were great for the price. very reasonably priced considering how much food you get! i also tried the passion fruit mojito, which was super fresh and light. you could barely taste the alcohol, which i personally loved! our server, raymond, was also fantastic! he was very friendly, provided great recommendations, was quick with service, and consistently checked in on us throughout the meal. we sat upstairs, which had a really cozy atmosphere. the only small downside was the bathroom being right in front of some of the tables haha! overall, we absolutely loved this place and will definitely be back. we’ll be recommending it to everyone. amazing food, great portions, reasonable prices, and excellent service. also, make a reservation as it got busy once we were leaving. can’t wait to come back!!”
