Neighbourhood: Downtown

5.0 star rating
  2/1/2010

I wish we had small, authentic Japanese restaurants like these in Toronto. I would come here every single day. First of all, let me warn you that it's not a place to bring your boss for a business luncheon. It's a place you secretly tell your friends…More »

Toronto, ON M5B
(416) 977-0999

Categories: Japanese, Tapas Bars

Neighbourhood: Downtown Core

4.0 star rating
  2/18/2011

I dined here twice, not yet being comfortable to assess an Izakaya for what it is, -I think I can easily keep coming back for more.

The service runs smoothly despite the constant slew of eager diners, and one can't help but (just slightly) eye the…More »

 3. Le Cafe Michi

1802 Pharmacy Ave

Neighbourhood: Scarborough

4.0 star rating
  3/4/2011 ROTD 6/22/2011

I've been here twice now, and I plan to repeat my visits many, many more times. While the place, ambiance, etc., is not what you'd expect for the prices, it's definitely worth every penny once the food arrives.

The place is suitable for soloists,…More »

Neighbourhood: Downtown Core

3.0 star rating
  2/18/2011

Came here the other day for dinner with a friend and completely understood why you need reservations for dinner. The restaurant could support about maybe 15 diners at a time. It's that tiny.

That said, I will definitely return here should the…More »

(905) 737-7313

Categories: Seafood, Sushi Bars

4.0 star rating
  2/1/2010

This place is pretty good when you're in the mood for some sushi. It's not the best I've ever had but it's pretty good considering the area.
I truly dislike many of the sushi bars in RH and Markham, especially the ones who consider it the norm to…More »

3.0 star rating

If you're in the east, anywhere on the east side of Toronto, make sure to drop in to Ni Ji for a meal.

It's a small, family run sushi restaurant, not fancy, yet quite comfortable and clean. I think this is the type of restaurant you'd come to for a…More »

3.0 star rating
  3/1/2010

After the raving reviews here, I decided to give Katsu a try. I would have never looked twice at this place if I were simply passing by. A Japanese resto on the Danforth? Yeah, I bet it would be awesome.

But awesome it was. I came here this weekend…More »

30 Disera Dr
Thornhill, ON L4J 0A7
(905) 709-2238

Category: Japanese

2.0 star rating
  11/9/2011

Food: This place gets an extra star for the variety of rolls and options in their lunch menu. None of the AYCE restaurants anywhere near the area have as good of a menu.

The rolls themselves weren't bad for AYCE quality.

Service: Here's where Maki…More »

4.0 star rating
  12/2/2011

I came to Wow sushi as part of the Yelp UYE. Wow sushi is a pretty tiny restaurant with around 6-7 tables of 2 people each. As soon as I entered I was extremely warmly greeted by the chefs behind the sushi bar.  Coming in from a bleary and wet…More »

I came here for lunch after a really long time, -around 8 years.

I was pleasantly surprised to see a complete renovation. I ordered the Sushi Rolls lunch A and it came with avocado rolls, california rolls and salmon sushi.

Though the option for lunch…More »
