| - There's a lot of izakayas in Toronto, but nothing quite as friendly, delicious and feel good vibes like Kintaro!
This is my 4th visit with my best friends for dinner, drinks and catch ups. On this evening, we ordered sake and beer for drinks with maguro tataki, tori karaage, kaki karaage, momo mochi, hatsu, karubi, enoki bacon, ramen, gyu don for food.
Maguro Tataki - I enjoyed the hint of grill taste with citrus, but not as tender as other times I've visited
Tori Karaage - there's a nice balance of crunchy, well seasoned outside and juicy inside
Kaki Karaage - oysters tasted fresh with a crispy thin coating of panko
Momo Mochi - chicken and rice cake were both tender with a simple seasoning of salt & pepper, the chicken kept it's tenderness even after it was sitting on our table for 30 mins
Hatsu - chicken hearts was also tender and lightly seasoned, we spritz some lemon on and elevated the taste slightly
Karubi - beef barbecued right, simple seasoning, but quite tasty
Enoki Bacon - sinfully delicious, especially when followed a shot of sake
Ramen - my friends said it was delicious
Gyu Don - it's well seasoned and portion plentiful
Like I said, the vibe is good, music is background, waitstaff are friendly (could probably use a 3rd person on busy evenings). Will definitely be back!
