Went here the other night and had some really good japanese food. It was my first time so I asked what was really great on the menu. Waitress was nice and suggested the udon.
Ordered kakiage udon (waitress suggestion), wakame udon, and okonomiyaki. Okonomiyaki was very good. The best I've had in Toronto is at the Okonomi House on Charles st, near Yonge and Bloor, and I have to say it may have been better. Not as much choice as the Okonomi House, but very good nonetheless.
Udon was also very good. Subbed out the udon for some buckwheat soba. Noodles were cooked perfectly, and broth was clean, but flavourful. Very soothing bowl of noodle soup.
Great place to come to if you're in the neighbourhood. I'll be going back. I'm interested in the rice dishes. -

Akki Bistro always looks empty! I have been passing by numerous of time and what more awkward then going into an empty restaurant alone??! That's the reason I never been here till now........
Akki Bistro still empty at 7pm on a Saturday... But tonight I am not alone.. and with three "deep fried/meat lovers who has a sweet teeth" guys.. I am brave enough to go into this empty restaurant.
Chicken Yakitori ($5) for 4 skewers
Chicken Karaage ($7.95) deep fried chicken
Okonomiyaki
Mocha Wave ($4.95) similar to affogato but with a heavy dose of chocolate syrup
Banana Tempura with Ice Cream ($6.95) which satisfied our deep fried lovers and sweet lovers the same time! We ended up ordering 2!!
The food were all A-OK.
Waitress is really nice and friendly and gave us good recommendation of food to order.
Now, will I go eat at Akki Bistro by myself next time?? Absolutely! And yes, they have LUNCH SPECIALS!Listed in: Japanese Restaurants in the…

Izakaya-type (japanese pub grub) resto. The fried dishes were authentic and reminded me of my 2 weeks in Japan. Particularly enjoyed the yakisoba okonomiyaki ($17) generously topped with bonito(?) flakes and the fried oysters ($6). Sauces were authentic (yay wooster sauce!) and fried was crisp, neither oily nor soggy. Sapporo on tap made it fun. They do serve a limited set of sushi-type meals, but for me the draw is the pub grub. I've tried the stuff @ Kenzo Ramen and this was superior. I've been to Guu and though the atmosphere can't compare, the fried dishes can compete and more convenient for those who live up north. A small joint, open Mon - Sat, closed on Sundays.
