| - I have long been waiting for a place that reminds me of the real Izakayas from Japan. In the past couple years, many fusion resterauant have opened and there was always something missing. However--- after visiting Zakkushi today, all the memories came back, all the ritual you do at the Izakayas in Tokyo, the Asian men in suits drinking beer and laughing, or a bunch of girls giggling ;ordering dishes after dishes, and of course the people taking pictures of every beautiful thing that is on the table.This was all so authentic. The design of the place was perfect enough for its customers, staying true to the original. The location is also very interesting, I am starting to like the taste of these ramen/ Izakaya owners, they seem to have done a lot of research and know what is the next up and coming area. Impressive.
My favorite dishes were ( pardon my spelling on the Japanese names) 01. Daigon Salad 02. Garlic Chicken Ball 03. Mochi with Vanilla Ice cream 04. Grilled Rice Ball / Nigiri 05. Grilled Quail eggs
I have been to no less then 30 Izakayas in cities in Asia, New York, Vancouver , LA and Toronto. I'd say this one is top 5. Given that izakaya food is suppose to be just snacks / bar food, but they really make sure the food and presentation if top level-- but not take it too far like Guu or Momofuku ( fusion).
2 people, $65 including drinks. Quality food, authentic ambience, and superb services!
