  • Located uptown, just about a block away from Eglinton station is this trendy yet traditional izakaya. It has a nice, intimate atmosphere that appears to cater more to smaller groups and dates rather than big celebrations or special occasions. My two favorite dishes of the night were the Pork Skewers and the Beef Rice Bomb. I HIGHLY recommend ordering both of these - absolutely delicious. The pork skewers in fermented rice koji sauce was amazing. Pork was nice and succulent. I could easily eat 10 of these and if I ever come back, it would be for this. 5/5 The beef rice bomb is just under $4 and there's a daily limit to how much they serve. Get it if you can! We were afraid it would be tiny but were pleasantly surprised that it was a fair portion for the price. The beef is dried, almost to a jerky level (but not quite there and still tasty!) wrapped around a ball of rice. It delivered all the right flavors and I'm so glad we ordered it. 4.5/5 Yuan Miso Roasted Chicken was actually pretty good. Well-seasoned and would've tasted great with a bowl of white rice. But at the end of the day, it really is just roasted chicken so take that for what you will. 4/5 Beef & Pork Hamburg on a stone hot plate was picture AND video worthy as you could still see/hear it sizzling. But I wish it tasted as good as it looked because the patty was a tad dry and lacking in flavor. 3/5 My least favorite was the Takoyaki. It was drowned in sauce and was more batter than anything. Pretty much a timbit with a few scraps of octopus. 2/5 Sashimi & Ikura Cucumber Roll was cool albeit not that great. It comes out with assorted sashimi piled on top of a cucumber roll. They then give you a bowl full of ikura and ask you to put as much of it as you can/would like onto your roll (without spilling any). I struggled really hard with this because the plate was strategically small but I still managed to get a decent amount. The sashimi didn't seem very fresh and the roll was soo dry. You're pretty much paying for the ikura because that was the single best thing about this dish. It didn't taste good WITH the roll, but just alone. 2/5 Dessert was a little disappointing. We got the Black Sesame icecream & Oreo Parfait ($7) as well as the Vanilla Icecream & Green Tea Cheesecake Parfait ($8.75). Icecream scoop is small and 60% of the bowl was whipped cream. The granola was literally Kellog's cereal corn flakes. Dessert just wasn't as thought-out as I would've liked. Components were low quality and the overall taste warranted only about half the price. Not worth. 2/5 for both Service got too slow towards the end. We waited so long for our last dish (the ikura roll) that we were tempted to just cancel it. Kept asking them check up on the status of it (pretty sure they forgot) and they would disappear for periods of time without a response. They managed to let us off on a better note as I thought it was a nice touch at the end when our waitress walked us right out to the door to say goodbye. The bill came out to about $70 after-tax & tip. Not bad because we were both really full. My experience was far from memorable so I wouldn't care to come back but its a nice environment to come after work for a casual drink and snack for those in the area.
