Have been more to the one in Gastown (Vancouver) but have enjoyed this one many time since moving back home. I love the chaos, the food, the price point is decent. This is definitely on the repeat list.
I don't know that I have favourite menu options since I typically go in a group that is amenable to the let's share everything mentality. I do feel that is a compliment in and of itself though, if you feel comfortable wandering in and feel the entire menu is accessible. Except the 7 sisters (def in Vancouver, not sure if in Toronto) I genuinely can (and will) eat anything but femented soy is not my palate pleaser.
I'd take anyone here from someone who eats Japanses/izakaya on the regular to a more timid restaurant goer.
