Kanari Restaurant

The service was excellent, with attentive and friendly servers. However, I found the food to be mediocre overall. While not terrible, nothing really stood out flavor-wise. I want to specifically mention the pancake. It was overly crispy, even for someone like me who enjoys a good crunch. The combination of tomatoes and arugula also felt out of place. While I appreciate creative twists on traditional dishes, this particular one just didn’t work for me.

A perfect date spot with a cool vibe and great music. The lobster here is a real treat—huge, juicy, and absolutely delicious. The servers are not only friendly but so thoughtful, making the experience even better. The octopus legs were melt-in-your-mouth tender with just the right amount of chew, and the lobster roll was heavenly. On a snowy day, the sukiyaki warms you up, and the drinks go down a little too easily. Highly recommend, and I’m definitely coming back for more!

There were plenty of tables for our group of four to get seated right away as a walk-in on a Wednesday evening. The front part of the restaurant is pretty bare, then you pass by their bar and then most of the seating for the dining room is towards the back of the restaurant. The servers are very attentive and friendly. They were easy to talk to and were very helpful with navigating the menu. The food for the most part was decent. The sushi was alright, but not really that memorable. The pancake was a bit disappointing because it was super tough, and not what we were expecting. It was almost like the texture of a brittle. The pasta was okay, but pretty plain. Sliders were also okay. I appreciate this place as a good place to hang with friends, get drinks, and maybe have some food if you’re hungry and want to have something to nibble on while chatting or drinking but wouldn’t say that the food is the highlight.

Food was decent. Good spot for a bar with food type of night out. My favourite would be the steak & truffle fries - steak had a lovely spicy chimichurri-type like sauce. The pork ribs were on the dry end but flavour was good. Food was served decently quickly, staff was friendly. Worth a try if you’re in the area and looking for a spot to hang out!

Follow @bredgyeats for more food photos! Replacing a once standard sushi buffet spot, it now brings an intriguing fusion of Korean flavours with other cuisines. It starts with a bang when the pork rib tower, stacked with layers and flavours. The meat easily slid off the bone, each bite imparts of a smoky, tangy and creamy chiptole sauce, lubricated with the indulgent amount of rendered fat that melts in your mouth. It's contrasted with a crispy exterior crust, extenuated with the topping of crispy onions that add another boost in flavour. Another popular choice is the creamy beef belly chili pasta, which brings a taste of italian with an asian flair, with an aggressive sear on the beef to render the fat crispy and bring out its beefy flavours. Despite coming in 5's, this sushi roll might as well be two bites in one, delivering a balance of sweet, tangy, creamy and savoriness similar to a black dragon roll. Featured are the Chipotle Pork Rib Tower, Creamy Beef Belly Chili Pasta, Black Snow, Salmon Tataki, Yuringi

Super attentive and kind staff with a great atmosphere. Perfect for a date night or chill night with friends. Food was delicious and comes at a fairly decent price, especially for the portions. My especially favourite was the pork belly pasta. Highly recommend this place!

Nice environment and excellent food selection. Social platters are great for sharing. Personally really loved the fries since the sauce pairs really well with it. Mocktails are very cute and sweet. Lots of seating no reservation required. Service was great as well. Will be back.

The interior looked amazing. They weren't too busy when we got there and they had a lot of seating. The staff was super attentive and nice. The food was okay - really unique flavours. Portions were huge and it's enough to share for a bigger group of people. I didn't have the chance to try their drinks but I'll definitely come back!
