I feel like this is one of the more authentic japanese izakayas in Toronto. We had a number of dishes:
- 2 types of chicken skewers - these were OK
- 1 crunchy and juicy pork skewer - this was pretty good
- zucchini skewer - not worth the money...
- scallop skewer - the scallops were kinda thin
- assorted sashimi platter - quite good and really fresh!
- yam fries - meh....
- edamame - we ordered these cuz the waiter told us that there might be a long wait for the food, but most of it came quickly so we barely touched these
We made reservations ahead of time but were seated right in front of the grill which made our clothes smell like the grill after. It was quite busy on the saturday evening that we went, but there was no line (which i was told is unusual).
I think I prefer going to Guu' over this izakaya.
Tip: call ahead to make reservations if you don't want to wait in line.
