O-M-G!!! I'm literally writing this as I walk out from Hammoto out of excitement - I think I found my a new favourite!!! This is definitely a hidden gem, the restaurant seems to be reconstructed from a house (I could be wrong). The space is fairly tight and it feels a lot like the street tapas in Japan.
The food is absolutely AMAZING. Each bite is packed with flavours that just explodes in your mouth. Cocktails are some of the best I've had. Hands down my new fav Japanese tapas in Toronto. It SO rare to find a place with amazing food AND superb drinks. Oh and did I mention that it's very decently priced? I'm SOO happy to have found this new gem THANK you fellow Yelpers!!
Definitely recommend the Uni Bomb - it's the bomb!!!!! The fried chicken special is A MUST but not on the menu so go soon before they sell out.
