| - Dropped by this place for dinner during their soft opening and overall, I'd say it's a solid asian bbq place and worth checking out.
We were a group of four, so we decided to order the "samurai" course which included different meats, apps, rice, soup, veggies and dessert. It seemed to have the most variety out of all the set courses on the menu. We also added a couple of items from the a la carte section of the menu. We ordered a couple pitchers of sapporo since it was only $12 :) awesome. The mugs come out frosted so it makes the beer extra cold - nice touch.
The sukiyaki bibimbap was good as was all the different types of beef (kalbi, filet mignon, skirt steak, etc.) The flavours were pretty much the same as what you would get if you ordered marinated beef from a korean bbq joint. Nothing was too salty or too sweet - their marinades were on point. I loved the flavour of the harami miso skirt steak, but this is obviously a chewier cut of meat so keep that in mind. Usually I find pork belly way too fatty to order at asian bbq places but the pork belly here was actually decent. We ordered the horumon (intestine) and premium beef tongue a la carte. I liked the tongue.
I have to say the service here was definitely the highlight. Our server was the shit. She was super friendly, explained everything thoroughly, told us how long we were supposed to cook each item, was really attentive, and checked on us throughout the night. We never had to wait long for our grill to be changed and whenever we needed something, we were able to ask her or the manager(?) with ease.
I think this place will do well in Toronto :)
