  • I've been to the Gonoe location at Don Mills several times, and the Thornhill location is way busier. I couldn't get a reservation and decided to drop by at 5:30 pm on a Saturday and luckily landed a table. Line ups started to form by the door around 7:00pm. The restaurant is located by the Red Lobster and Legend Chinese restaurant plaza just north of Yonge St. and Steeles Ave. Inside, there were mainly private booths with a small open area for large tables. By the bar, there were several aquariums with the live octopus, as well as buckets with sea cucumber and other seafood I did not recognize. The menu has a combination of Japanese and Korean fare but what makes this location stand out is the specialty items they offer. They had a separate menu offering the chef special sashimi platter, and a specialty live seafood menu offering flounder, abalone, sea squirt, sea cucumber, gaebul (aka fat innkeeper worm) and live octopus. From the live seafood menu, our group ordered the live octopus ($28). The live octopus is a must try for the experience. The octopus was bland by itself and had a chewy texture. The octopus was more enjoyable dipped in the sauce of sesame oil and salt, with an option to eat with the Korean hot sauce. We got over the initial fear factor and ended up eating the entire plate. I was paranoid that if I didn't chew the octopus thoroughly, it would move inside my throat or I would choke, so I chewed every part of it several times. We also ordered a sashimi boat with 60 pieces, and a spider roll to share. I could have eaten it all myself because it was fresh and delicious. As for the service, I had to flag the servers down a few times. Our server was new, so there was a lot of confusion on how to split the bill, but hopefully that was a one time occurrence. Overall: A busy restaurant with menu items not seen at Gonoe's other locations and many other Japanese/Korean restaurants.
