Less raucous atmosphere than what I'm accustomed to at an izakaya, thus creating a more intimate dining experience. Has a good list of wines and sake but unfortunately I was not in the mood for alcohol so didn't get a chance to try. Portions seem on the whole larger than other izakaya experiences I've had (Guu, Ematei, Hapa). Service was quick and friendly--my tea cup was replenished with hot water regularly--though it did appear to be a slow night. The food was decent, well prepared but nothing to write home about.
There wasn't anything on the menu that screams at me to come back. Okay, maybe if I couldn't get a seat at Guu and was dying for tako wasabi* I would come here; Guu and Koyoi (and only on the rare occassion, Tokyo Grill) are the only places in Toronto I've found that serves tako wasabi.
