I actually like this Izakaya in comparison to the other ones. The place is small though, which wasn't to my liking, but I didn't have to wait for long, so that was good. I had the Osaka styled fried rice with octopus, while my friends had Uni & Ikura Don, Yakitori Don, Sashimi sets.
Other than the Yakitori Don, I wasn't a fan of the others my friends had. I did really like my own dish though. Extremely flavorful with hints of authenticity. It's something that I never had, considering how often my friends enjoy going to sushi buffets - so the only thing that ever comes to mind when someone mentions japanese cuisine is sushi and miso soup. The quality of the ingredients are really good though. Of course, you can't really compare to the cities that serve fresh-fresh seafood. But for japanese cuisine in Toronto, this place is satisfactory. For some reason I don't recall paying too much at Ju in comparison to the one located on Eglington.
