I was not expecting to like this place so much - it is SO good!!
My friend suggested this place and I'm so glad he did because otherwise I would have never even noticed this place. It's on this random street and the outside looks super sketch. There wasn't even a sign that stated the name so I have no idea how people are suppose to find this place on their own.
The inside interior was pretty cool. It was dark, the music was loud, but super chills. There was like only six tables in there so that's why there's usually a wait.
The cocktail I got was decent. The cocktails are all a form of whiskey sour which was good but not mind blowing.
Okay now onto the best part: the food!! We got the salmon aburi and omg SO good. It comes with the rice and salmon on top and nori on the side so you can make it yourself which I'm always a fan of - putting together food. We also got the famous wings that apparently would change our lives forever, it was definitely really good and I have no idea how they made it even. It was super crunchy on the outside. We also got some sort of katsu bun and that was also really good but get ready to get your hands full of sauce.
Overall this was by far the best izakaya I've been to in Toronto - and that's a pretty bold statement.
