Layout is not the best. We sat at the bar (along with ~10 other patrons), and my eyes watered from the smoke.
1st up: Otsumami Cabbage.
Literally, it's a $4.50 bowl of a couple of cabbage leaves in sesame oil. Nothing about it stands out, and little effort was put into the presentation.
2nd: 2 pork belly skewers (we ordered 4). It's pork with salt. It's tasty, but nothing else to note.
Keichan-Yaki was pretty good. Tender chicken, stir fried well and was very flavourful.
Got our yakisoba next. Based on the texture, I think they used ramen noodles, and they were surprisingly fresh. I'm partial to ramen, so I actually really enjoyed this.
Overall, with so many great Izakaya options in Toronto nowadays, it's really hard to give this place a great review, but it's not bad.
