| - Japanese food to me, is much more than just ramen and sushi. After going to this place, it just provided further proof to support my statement.
Now mind you, I only had their dessert so I can't really comment too much on their food but to say that I am rather impressed at what they are offering. As you walk in, it's a rather small cafe that seats no more than...25 ppl? But it's a very inviting place, with wooden tables and nice quiet environment. There are few odd distorted panoramic pictures frames posted on the wall, but it gives it that slight quirkiness.
Even though I didn't have any of their main dishes or coffee, because I had just eaten my meal at another place...I will say that I will come back and try out their dishes. They have Japanese curry rice (one of my all time favourite meals), omurice, customizable ramen and a whole bunch of dishes that are authentically Japan (literally what you would normally expect in Tokyo, is now transported over to Toronto). Also do note that Japan, in many parts of their cuisine, draws an incredible amount of French influence. Also, a small note, and I LOVED that this restaurant did this, but they provided a small legend on the menu, and one of the icons was the Japanese flag, which represented, which dishes were consider "famous in Japan". There's something about that little detail that made me really happy, and a business who isn't strictly just feeding people but also giving small little tidbits on Japanese taste preferences.
Good service too as well, the waitress taking our orders was patient, pleasant and helped answer questions (at least for my friends) who weren't as familiar with the menu. Kudos to her being a good waitress to us :D
I ordered the Green Tea Sundae and I honestly thought it would be a small portion in a sundae cup. Nope, it was an enormous plate with fruit, a fluffy pancake, two scoops of ice cream and whipped cream, which I had to beg my friends to assist me to finish. It was HUGE, and delicious...and not too sweet, even with the chocolate sauce that was drizzled all over. Really delicious!
I've already stated in this review that I'm coming back, so hopefully I'll have an updated one sometime soon. Excellent place to check out. :)
