| - Great food, really fun atmosphere, and a unique overall experience -- I will definitely be back the next time I'm in Toronto. Obviously, don't go here if you want a quiet dinner or can't afford to wait (we had to wait 30 minutes at 9PM on a Tuesday night). But otherwise, highly recommended.
Food highlights:
* Gyu Carpaccio -- amazing! The combination of citrus (ponzu), mayo, garlic and raw beef was fantastic.
* Karaage (fried chicken) -- super good, really tender.
* Gindara (black cod) -- crispy skin, beautiful texture, perfectly cooked, great sauce.
* Buta Kimchi Bibimbap
* Kakimayo (baked oyster with cheese) -- we wanted to get this but ordered the wrong thing instead :( Looks amazing, and I've heard from others that it is great.
Food I'd skip next time:
* "Exotic pork" special -- this was basically roasted pork with a mild mustard sauce. The pork was good and not at all dry, but this dish didn't have enough going on for me.
* Kaki Furai (deep fried oysters) -- ordered instead of the Kakimayo by mistake. Not terrible, but not memorable.
Service was friendly and efficient (despite being really busy!).
We also drank a bunch of soju and sake -- their selection is great! This definitely got pretty pricey though.
