I heard about this place through a friend and was sold when he said really good Japanese place for cheap. It has a suitable interior for an izakaya. It's a chill, casual vibe, with wooden furniture, perfect for some bar Japanese food.
One thing I thought was really nice was a complementary chef creation. It was a interesting plating use if rice, seaweed and tuna. Free things are great :)
Now, some items are really good. They should be charging more for that quality so you get quite deal with cheap amazing food. But their other items seemed bland and flavourless...So I would return but only for specific items.
If I were to visit here regularly, my go to item would be the GTA roll, any sort of skewer and a sushi-sashimi set. The torched flavour was phenomenal... It really dances on your palate. Highly recommend!
I tried the rib-eye and some chicken skewer (I forgot which part, but they do list options of different cuts for the skewer.) The rib-eye was juicy and a really nice tender bite. Goes great with a glass of ice cold Sapporo.
The sushi set was little above average. The fish could be fresher but it is satisfactory. Also, the set we ordered came with miso soup. There seemed to be a deeper flavour in this miso soup compared to most that really complements the sushi.
The service is a little slow as the restaurant was a little empty but the pace food was coming out longer than expected. However, they ladies checked up frequently to pour tea. They were super polite and really positive so you feel welcomed being there.
For the most part, it's a nice place in Koreatown. I'd definitely visit again but they definitely need to improve on some classic Japanese dishes that were lacking but came with high expectations.
