Conveniently located minutes away from Bloor/Yonge Station, I happen to stumble upon this establishment on the way home. The location is not car-friendly as parking is hard to come by; however, for the TTC riders and individuals who work in the area, the location is perfect. My review is based on my experiences having lunch at Ichiriki. It looks like there is some sort of jazz event in the evenings, but as I have yet to attend, I cannot comment on it.
Pros:
* Japanese run ..... yes, this is the age old debate. I will only eat at a J-resto run by Japanese.
* Location, location, location ... a 5 min. walk from Bloor/Yonge Station cannot be beat.
* Reasonable prices
* Lunch sets
* Good service
* Tonkatsu
Cons:
* Parking ... maybe this is a sign that I shouldn't be so reliant on my car
* Donburi ... avoid it at all costs; you finish your rice in 3 spoon servings
* Small = limited number of seats
