The food was alright.. there were some winners and some dishes that didn't appeal to me at all. The koyoi salad was great- it was a perfect level of umami and the chips were a cool addition to the salad. The gyu-tan (beef tongue) was tasty and well seasoned. The udon was decent, just a standard udon, nothing to complain or rave about. The beef tataki and scallop carpaccio were both staff picks I think but I found the radish and onion in the beef tataki off-putting and the scallops didn't taste that fresh... it's just a matter of personal preference but I found out that I don't care for the slimy taste of scallop sashimi. We got the green tea cheesecake for dessert and it was great, with fragrant matcha and a scoop of ice cream on the side.
Also a note that the space is pretty small but there is some room on the patio for additional seating. I also like how this restaurant is tucked away on a quiet side street, away from the hustle and bustle of yonge st.
