Hidden gem that serves authentic Japanese food and at reasonable prices for downtown Toronto, and service is always good/friendly.
While I do agree with some reviewers that not all dishes are good, there are a handful of dishes that I think are fantastic and are always my go-to. Koyoi salad, Beef tartar (my favourite dish here - well sauced, well garnished and super fresh), chicken karaage, fried chicken.
Overall, if you're looking for an izakaya with $15 sapporo pitchers, good food and not jam packed with people, check it out!
