“6/5 stars for everything, the ambiance, the service and the amazing food! We ha the Katsu bun, surf and turf wraps, the eggs and the miso ice-cream, everything, from the portions to the sauces to the presentation was perfect. Tapas-style Asian fusion cuisine (never been my favourite but this spot changed my mind). Highly recommended for a date night (very small and cozy spot) for a very cool and pleasant night out.“
“came here because kintaro izakaya went viral on instagram. ? as soon as I stepped into the restaurant I was amazed by the authentic Japanese atmosphere. it was so zen and vibrant. the service was amazing and quick for a busy evening. I got myself a japango roll, 2 mochi bacons skewers, tori karaage, and kimchi yaki udon to share with my partner. we also shared a kikusui junmai daiginjo since they were having a deal. delicious!“
“One of me and my bf’s default date night spots since we live nearby. I recommend the Yuugi Sushi, Udon Peperoncino, Karaage, Tebasaki, and Grilled Oysters. Sesame salmon, their miso soup, and the edamame is good too. My fave cocktail is the Ginza Blue.I wouldn’t recommend the ramen poutine or the mackerel fried rice. Otherwise, good food and great experience!“
“Love the chicken skewer! Everything on the menu was delicious and so flavourful. My favourite dish is the assorted oden; get 10 so you can try one of each! Portions are standard size although the chicken skewer could definitely be shared. Vibes were really nice and I had a great time there. The staff was also really nice as he explained each item to us. Will definitely visit again!“
“This spot is GREAT!!! The vibe is unique and this is a fun place to be on a lively night in the city. The menu is large and the food was delicious. You can order many platters for the table and share with a large group of friends or family! Staff was friendly but it was very busy when we went so things were a little slow but overall still a great time. Highly recommend you visit here!“
“Food: 4/5 Service: 4/5 Ambiance: 4/5 Had a karaoke session for a couple hours and decided to get something to eat and also wanted to get some alcohol, If anyone read my Mokutan review, this place was the one that my friend entered mistakenly. So this time, I decided it was time to actually give this place a try. The place had little individual booths which made it much more relaxing to chat and eat. I personally am not a fan of cramped spaces where I have to sit and eye what the next table is eating or listen to their conversations so this place was perfect. I had a gin tonic, while my friends had a suntory highball and beer. We didn't expect the food to have such a big portion! Living in Japan I've kind of expected smaller portions for cheaper prices, and then growing up in Toronto, I've learned that though small portions remain the same, the prices can jump up to catch you off-guard. This place had really good portions that were fair for what they charged. I think the egg omelette was good, the pork they used inside was a bit on the fatty side but mixed with the bean sprouts, was quite good. The only thing was it lacked a little flavour, which wasn't a huge deal because the other dishes made up for it. I don't eat intestines so I had the vegetables and glass noodles. The dish itself was nice and flavourful and from what I could tell they don't skimp on the ingredients. There were definitely a lot of intestines in the dish and my friends were very happy. The chicken and cheese we actually ended up ordering two because it was just so good! The cheese pull was unreal, I pulled so high that I hit my hand on the lamp above us at the table. It was definitely the most flavoured dish of the three and the chicken was so tender. They also gave us a side of peppered radish. I have to say that these definitely had a kick to them but they were quite good that we asked for more three times. Overall, a really good place to enjoy some food with friends and also a couple of drinks to help unwind your day or week.“
“This place was really good! The food tasted great. The flavors were just right. The servers kept coming to fill our drinks again. We had a nice time eating with our friends. The place had a nice feeling to it. We liked the atmosphere a lot. It was a wonderful time at this restaurant. We want to go back again “
“Cute hidden gem! I went here with a friend on a week night for dinner. We ordered the chicken karaage, seafood cream udon, and the eel don. The food overall was pretty good! I found the seafood udon to be more seafood than I’m used to, but I think that’s just personal preference. Service was prompt and kind, and the vibe/atmosphere was fun.Price wise, I think it is fair for the location and quality. They have daily specials, and the day I went (Wednesday) was 30% off karaage dine-in.I’d return on a weekend evening or friday night for drinks. I loved the music and overall energy of the place :)“
“Highly recommended Izakaya in Toronto. They offer so many kinds of skewers. None of them got me disappointed. You can choose either with salt or sauce as well as trying both of them to compare its taste! Other than the skewers, I got fried oysters and shrimp mayo. They are now my favorite bites!It’s a little bit far from downtown, but when you are in the area, you might wanna go there for your dinner.“
“I adore Gonzo Izakaya. Fantastic atmosphere, kind staff, great food. I come as often as I can. Everything in the menu is delicious. Can't choose wrong. It's very popular, so reservations are recommended.Kid-friendliness: I've brought my kids and the staff are great with the kids. We really enjoyed it.“
