Came here for the first time with my family a few weeks ago. I had this place on my list to try for the longest time. I'm a huge fan of Japango so it was hard being in the Dundas St. area to pick another Japanese restaurant that serves similar dishes. I see that a few Yelpers commented that this place was better than Japango which then really caught my attention. It was obvious as I walked in that this place definitely has a better ambiance than Japango. It's very spacious and comfortable.
I read that the men who started this place have worked in the Japanese business for many years included sushi chefs from Le Cafe Michi, and Edo/Hiro. Not sure if these guys still run the place but I'll definitely ask them on my next visit. Yes, there will definitely be another visit. I think that I'll need a few more visits because it hasn't quite won me over compared to Japango.
I read from other Yelpers that the grilled food was over priced so I played it safe and picked the sashimi dinner and chirashi dinner that had great reviews. I really liked the fish that was selected in the sashimi mix especially the sea bream. We also had the baked oysters to start and that was delicious.
Overall, the service was great and we really enjoyed our dinner.
