As far as Japanese food on the Danforth goes, Nakayoshi is pretty good; they offer options beyond the typical tempura/bento/teriyaki fare found in places further west along the Danforth. I saw okonomiyaki and takoyaki on the menu!
However, when compared to ramen/izakayas downtown, Nakayoshi is lacking a bit. While the ramen was not bad, it lacked the depth of flavour and richness Ive come to associate with a hearty bowl of miso ramen (perhaps Im just used to the oiliness of Kinton). The noodles were alright; could have been a bit thicker and chewier for my taste. The chicken karaage was mediocre; although crisp, the chicken was on the drier side and the batter was thick.
Tonight, service was slow, even though the dining room was not busy. The servers didnt seem knowledgable about menu items; when we asked whether certain items were vegetarian or dairy free, the servers hesitated and seemed to guess about the contents of the dishes.
