It's 1:30 AM and you've just been drinking for 4 hours at a wedding reception and you're looking for something to eat in Markham = How I came to discover Anzenchitai Izakaya
Service: They are open until 3 AM in the morning every day which is very Vegas/hometown like which I love. The Japanese servers were assigned to us were both very friendly and gave us a heads up for last call on the food. The kitchen got our dishes to us quickly and we were very appreciative of that
Food: We were glad to have some high quality dishes so late into the evening. The beef brisket Yaki Udon was on point as both the noodles and beef were very tasty. The Rice Cake Skewers get you 4 very big skewers. The Fried Squid legs was fried well with the right amount of oil. The deep fried chicken thigh with cabbage and tangy sauce came with a piled with sliced cabbage which complimented the taste. All dishes came out in portions much bigger than we anticipated which was a pleasant surprise.
Ambiance: Japanese pop music was pumping late at night but not too loud where it would disrupt conversation. Decorated with lots of Japanese lamps, wall decorations and the booths and tables were mainly composed of very dark wood. It definitely reminded me of the small Japanese restaurants I came across during my Tokyo visit.
What a great yelp find so late in the night in Markham. If I lived in the area, I would love to come back and try more of their dishes. If you're looking for some late night Izakaya dishes in Markham, Anzenchitai Izakaya has you covered.
