First time to the Queen St location of this well reviewed izakaya, the Carlton St location never disappoint, this one is still able to keep most of the positivities, except 1 dish (grilled rice ball) was super salty and we had to send it back. Other than that I find ambience and seating better than the other location, not as loud, and actually able to talk and not feel as cramped and rushed (maybe because we went on a Sunday evening).

Food was good, but salty and over seasoned in general. The rice ball was way too salty. For whatever reason, I got food poisoning afterwards.

I really like the food here. They come in small portions so you have to order a lot. They have 2 locations, so you make sure to call in advance to see if the line is too long, you can go to another location.

Everything hit the spot, extensive drinks menu, food is top quality and noticeably fresh.I'm very picky on scallops and that was the only thing that could have used some extra punch or modifications at least maybe under this setting , a barbecue focused menu, and secondly the salt balance between skewers was up and down but again nothing to keep me from coming back for more.Some very nice small touches as well, around service and atmosphere made it a special place, loved how easy it was to order using a paper menu especially good for big parties and Wait for the surprise! Greetings ;).Great for a unique date night, an engaging work lunch.

Excellent service. Friendly staff and we got a nice table right in front of the cooking area. The rice balls were too salty and we end up sending them back. The staff redo and they are perfect. Will definitely go back.

Good ambience. Good services. Yummy oden especially the soup. Sweet potato was ok but the skewers and sashimi was not as good as expected. All was came in small pieces, some of the meat was hard to chew and not seasoned well. So in my opinion, it’s kinda pricey when compared with the quality and portion.

The skewers were a bit expensive for me (I'm Japanese). The quality of foods were good since they seemed to use an authentic grill. My favourite was sweet potato fries with honey, which we can find at Izakaya in Japan.

Overall pretty good. Came in on a week day and no reservation, no wait. Staff will shout welcome and thank you in japanese when you come in and leave, which is lovely. Personally I loved the mochi rice cakes and the creamy udon. The skewers are good but as expected. Prices do add up if you are hungry and if you drink.

Took an hour to get a table but once we sat the service was quick. The ambience of the place is a bit dark. I really enjoyed the variety of options they had from the menu. I was really impressed with the duck breast.

Went here for a Halloween celebration. For the price, the quality of food didn't measure up.At $18 (Oct 2022), the price of 5 sticks of yakitori in the Zakkushi set could get me a full meal elsewhere and they should be mindblowingly good. Unfortunately they were not.They were not seasoned well and did not taste like they belonged in a cohesive set. Instead, they were more like 5 random sticks with experimental flavors. The basic yakitori stick was very bland. The plum one stuck out like a sore thumb as a sudden jolt of sourness. The beef/steak one was too chewy. The best of the bunch was the pork belly, but with how naturally flavorful pork belly is, it's hard to get it wrong.What frustrated me the most was the lack of the smoky, chargrilled flavor that's characteristic of yakitori. Since I couldn't see them grilling the sticks in front of me, I'm not sure they still use a real charcoal grill...Honestly what I enjoyed most was not even yakitori but the yaki onigiri. You don't find it easily in Toronto and I thought the soy sauce flavor worked really well with the grilled rice. It was also priced fairly (at least compared to the rest of the menu).Drinks were ok. Definitely not the best cocktails I've had as they tasted like a beginner's intro to cocktails - a tad too sweet with not enough alcohol. It tasted more like a mocktail.Anyway, I'm a little letdown by this place as I love izakayas. The atmosphere was great but the food and drinks just missed the mark.
