About Sampo Japanese Bar and Restaurant

Sampo Japanese Bar and Restaurant in Toronto is a popular spot known for its warm and attentive service, similar to small Japanese restaurants. During the day, it offers a well-liked Japanese fusion brunch, and by night, it becomes a cozy izakaya with a lively atmosphere. The ramen is simple yet flavorful, though it can be a bit small for the price. The pork jowls with ponzu are beautifully prepared. The yakisoba, served on a sizzling plate with a fried egg, pork, and vegetables, is large and filling. The restaurant features a laid-back vibe with plenty of cocktails to choose from, making it a great place to enjoy a relaxed dining experience on College Street. Recent reviews praise the friendly service, excellent food and drinks, and cozy setting. The menu also includes a variety of bar dishes such as Ohitashi, Beef Tataki, Grilled curry, Gomaae Duo, Karaage, and Tsukemono, often served late into the night. The location hosts two businesses: Bar Sampo in the evenings and Ohiru Cafe in the mornings and afternoons, offering delicious breakfasts and brunches.
