Kintaro Izakaya is a well-decorated Japanese restaurant located in downtown Toronto. It offers a variety of delicious dishes, including popular menu items like Maguro Tataki, Tori Karaage, Kimchi Yaki Udon, and Izakaya Sets. The restaurant has an authentic Japanese ambiance and a spacious, beautifully designed dining room. Reviewers have praised the restaurant for its wonderful dining experience, with one customer describing it as a "lovely evening out." The service is quick and friendly, even on busy evenings, and the staff is welcoming and attentive, making every visit smooth and enjoyable.
Customers have highlighted the delicious sushi, particularly the Chef's Choice Sushi and unagi, as well as the perfectly seasoned pork belly skewers Sanmainiku. The grilled prawns were surprisingly amazing, and the corn & spider roll received praise as well. While some dishes like the chicken teriyaki were noted as dry, the mochi bacon cheese skewers and other meats were fresh and well-seasoned.
While the restaurant can get busy, it's recommended to make a reservation to ensure a spot, as walking in might result in a wait. The atmosphere is casual and fun, great for hanging out with friends or a relaxed date night. Prices are fair for the quality and portion sizes, though some customers noted that it can be a bit pricey. Accessibility is decent, with ground-level entry and space for maneuvering, though seating can get tight during peak hours. Parking is available behind the building, and there’s street parking nearby. Overall, Kintaro Izakaya is a great place to enjoy a fun and trendy dining experience with friends.
