There are some definite pluses to Zakkushi. The price for their Sapporo is really reasonable at 5.20 a pint. Or even better deals for their mega pint or pitcher if you are looking at scoring some beer for the cheapest price you can. Also, the wooden space inside has a cool vibe to it. It definitely doesn't feel like you are in Toronto... but perhaps even JAPAN?!?!?
The first thing that falls flat for me though is their beer selection. On the menu they only had Sapporo, though I think they have two taps, and I believe they had Asahi as well. The big issue here though is having such a small beer selection for what I consider a bar first, and a restaurant second. The portions of food for the price you pay is really out of whack. You wouldn't want to go here unless you were just going to grab some drinks, and have something to nibble on. I've been to places like this where the portions are much bigger. Food is good, but not good enough to compensate for this. There are some interesting items on the menu, but nothing stood out to me as something that you would need to order. Though I'd say stay away from the appetizer sampler because I've never seen somewhere be so cheap with the seaweed.
If you are like me, I would get my izakaya on elsewhere.
