I've read several reviews and they're pretty much all glowing. Turns out my experience was nothing of the sort. I know that it's a busy restaurant and it's loud so I was prepared on that front.
What I didn't like were the portion sizes. The beef don I ordered for $11 was tiny. I had a chirashi don at another Japanese restaurant the other day and although it cost more the amount of food that was in the bowl was representative of the price. I felt hungry after finishing my don but ordering another dish would've taken quite a while to arrive at the table.
Moreover, the waiter forgot my friend's drink and we had to ask about her gyoza. I understand it's a busy place but gyoza couldn't possibly take that long to prepare. The table next to us was waiting quite some time for their food as well. There's plenty of other restaurants in downtown Toronto that I'd rather go to.
