  • Koyoi (meaning 'tonight') is one of the earlier izakaya in Toronto by now and staffed with Japanese waitresses and has many Japanese customers, but the owner (whose wife is Japanese) is Korean. The food is quite good and coupled with everything else that makes up a pleasant dining experience and atmosphere is a 3.5/5. The izakaya's second location opened, changed names, reverted back and has shut down now so the owner has not perfected a formula, but the food is generally good (though not as tasty as in Japan) and there are a couple of rare menu items that no one else offers like motsunabe, which we ordered. This hot pot dish is made with the innards of cow or pig and adds chive, sesame, tofu, cabbage and garlic. Theirs was good, but missing flavour compared to Japan a little and definitely missing 'motsu' or offal. We were disappointed by how little meat there was in the nabemono. The gyutan or beef tongue on a hot stone is a favourite and quite good, the blowtorched saba battera is tasty and who can say no to Japanese karaage? They have a variety of sake and shochu. The service is fine and responsive. The food items arrive fairly quickly. Water refills is regular. They are always busy, which means that most people do not care about the lack of atmosphere or decoration, which is what I wanted to get into next. The L shaped izakaya is quite small, tables are next to one another and there is minimal decoration past product posters, bottles and of course signs advertising food. The washroom had its 'best before' date in 2014 probably and could use a major overhaul. At least they had not turned on the TV. Koyoi would be an A if it had a nicer interior and refocused on more authentic Japanese flavours for certain items, but as mentioned earlier is still a winner.
