Do not go here if you want to talk. The food was so, so. And I am a Japanese Canadian who has eaten many decades of Japanese and fusion food. This was the noisiest restaurant I've ever been to. You had to pause your conversation everytime the hostess or some other staff person yelled out, who knows what. Me and my much younger dining partner could hardly wait to leave. We went elsewhere for post-dinner-drinks. Will not be returning and will advise others of the physical discomfort of dining at Toronto's noisiest restaurant.
