The overall experience was okay. We made a reservation, but still had to wait, though the manager kindly offered us a free drink while we waited, which was appreciated. We ordered the smoked duck and tempura (see attached photo), but the portion sizes were surprisingly small. Then, we waited a long time for our main dish, which turned out to be underwhelming. The server mentioned that it was shareable, but even with that in mind, we found the portions to be quite lacking. We understand the restaurant was busy, but the food just didn’t seem to justify the wait or the price.

Great spot for izakaya in downtown Toronto. Prices are affordable and there's a wide selection of dishes to choose from - the unagi bibimbap is a personal favourite

Came in for my bday dinner with friends. Staff gifted a free matcha cake and ice cream and sang happy birthday. That’s not all. They even took a Polaroid photo for us! It was so unexpected but wholesome. Food was great, loved the karage chicken and curry bibimbump. Highly recommend.

Craving of getting some skewers at Izakaya but we were told that's not on the menu.... Orders some other food which was ok. Beef udon tasted bland. Truffle fries was good. Aburi sushi, Karaage and Prawn Tempura were all good.

Amazing food (especially loved the aburi sushi, karage and curry beef bubimbap!!) Our server Phuntsho was so kind, attentive and always came by to make sure we were ok. Thank you so much for an incredible experience. We will definitely be back again.

Amazing food and outstanding service! My friend and I went and didn’t say a word to each other the whole time we were eating because we were so absorbed in our delicious food. I highly recommend eating here!

Lovely spot for drinks (and food). Atmosphere is on the louder end, and ‘rowdy’ in a good way. Drinks are delicious and decently priced. Food is more on the expensive end. Decently spacious seating although the seats itself are not the most comfortable. Worth a visit if you are looking for a spot for night time drinks.
