Kingyo is my new favorite hidden gem in Toronto! This place is reminiscent of a revamped, better, cooler version of the old Typhoon in St. Marks, NYC. Think Izakaya meets 5-star chef meets hipster underground dive bar. Yeah...everything you could need, right?
The food was incredible -- uni shooters, gorgeous hamachi carpaccio, the crispiest yummiest fried chicken EVER MADE... all washed down with cold beers (oh the cocktail list was to die for also -- we diidn't have any, but they looked scrumptious). Not to mention amazingly kind and warm-hearted staff that do their best to make your experience great. I just wish this place were closer to where I live so I could go every week.
I'll definitely be back, many, many times. Thanks Kingyo!
