Came here on a Wednesday night and found that they don't open on Wed.
Two people didn't have a reservation and it was around 730pm. We waited for around 15 mins. It's a relatively new restaurant so everything's new; the booth was nice and comfy.
The wait staff were polite and friendly.
They gave you side salad as starters.
We ordered:
- tonkotsu ramen (meh, for its price $8.99 I would expect something close to sansotei or santoka but nothing like that)
- chicken skin skewer (it's alright but I was expecting it to be crispier)
- chicken cartilage skewer (it's ok; nothing special)
- Toro rice in soup (toro is flavorful but portion too small)
- mushroom tempura (various types of mushroom; taste good; I like it the best out of everything we ordered)
- dessert tofu cheesecake (it's good, taste of tofu is apparent, refreshing)
BUT a little side story:
We used a coupon downloaded from CCUE http://www.ccue.ca/tor/restaurants/akaoni_coupon/ and when the bill came it was $2 for the two cheesecake. And when I asked about it the waitress said it's not free, it's upgrade so have to pay $1 per cheesecake. And so I asked what's free she said it's icecream... So What's the point of the coupon!?
You guys read the coupon and let me know if it says anything about $1 upgrade... It just says free dessert! Anyhow I didn't fight for it which I should have......
Probably... not visiting in the near future.
Its a Izakaya and maybe Guu wannabe but they don't seem to have a focus. They do sushi, ramen, curry, (which was sold out when I tried to order), BBQ, etc.
Better spend your money at Sansotei or Guu.
