| - Real, premium Tokyo-izakaya food in Mimico?!?! It is so, friends! Call in for take-out, tho.
Nobu (?) admits that his service is slow by blazoning the tagline upfront: "Nobuya: Worth the Wait". And wait you will, because it's just him taking the orders, making the food, cashing out customers, and answering the phone. And worth it, it will be...
Forewarned, the two of us ordered a bunch of things: shiyo ramen (huge and yummy, even without extra noodles), karaage (deep-fried to perfection; clearly this man learned from the best izakayas in Tokyo), and fish and chips (ultra crispy, amazing fries). Presentation, taste, temperature all en pointe.
So if you're short on time, best to take advantage of this establishment by calling in for take out (we saw a smart regular customer do this and he was in and out within 5 minutes with his food).
This man obviously exists on razor-thin margins (i.e. the sorry state of trying to run a restaurant in Toronto) so we paid in cash & debit.
