| - AVOID!
I really don't write reviews on the day I go to a restaurant, so this would be a first for me. But for the greater good I should write a review to inform future customers to stand clear from this restaurant.
I have lived in Toronto for 24 years of my life and this is the worst japanese/korean restaurant I have been to in Toronto and it isn't even close. I am very sure there are worse ones out there, but I usually wouldn't go in due to the appearance of such restaurants.
First things first, this restaurant is lucky I even gave them a chance today because I have been to this restaurant once 10 years ago, but I left because I waited in their waiting area for 20 minutes without a hint of service and it wasn't even busy.
So to start they had a lot to prove to me tonight. As I looked at the exterior of the restaurant I saw a sign that they had the number 1 chef in the world and it made me chuckle as I walked into this restaurant. The decor is relatively standard for a japanese/korean restaurant. Relatively private seating area, although the restaurant does echo and you can hear the conversations next to you very clearly.
So this time I was actually seated as I walked into the restaurant that would be the only good thing I would say about this restaurant in my review. I had a look at the menu with my family. They do have a very extensive menu with very many choices and you wonder how they can cook all these things so well. The answer is simple, they can't. If you cannot cook something well you shouldn't cook it.
So I did have a long look at the menu and I must have been taking too long (5 minutes) because the waitress came and took my drink order. The moment she came back with the drinks she seemed in some kind of hurry to take my order. I told her to give me an extra minute to look at the menu and she did. The second time she came back she rushed to take my order. So my family and I quickly rushed with the order. Ordered red dragon roll, tofu soup, saba mackerel dinner, and a bulgogi.
Within 5 minutes the Red Dragon Roll came, I find that very strange due to the fact that it takes time to roll sushi. My first impression is that it was prerolled and refrigerated when something comes out that quick. The colour of the salmon was a disgusting faded orange colour as if it were sitting for awhile. I was relieved I wasn't the one who ordered this because I wouldn't eat it.
Oh, but wait it gets worse. All the rest of the other entrees came just as fast within 10 minutes of ordering. The entree I ordered was the mackerel. On first impression I honestly wanted to send it back. I never have sent food back before so like an idiot I ate one hell of a smelly fish. It smelt so bad I had my family taste it and they just said it was horrible.
The one thing you think a restaurant cannot possibly screw up is Bulgogi. This one did, the beef was rubbery and dry as if it was microwaved then served on to a hot plate. Everything that was served felt like it was days old. If I wanted day old food I coulda just stayed at home and ate leftovers, but instead I made the mistake of coming here.
Now I am here reiterating to you to not come to this restaurant. Don't get me wrong I really do love small businesses, but unless there is a major change at this restaurant. DO NOT COME HERE! Your stomach will thank me.
I conclude by saying when I left the restaurant it had a yellow conditional pass sign on the window. Honestly I have been around this area for quite a while and I wonder how this place has been open for all these years when the food is atrocious.
