1. Shinobu Sushi
A name of Shinobu, it brings back my memories of Ninja Gaiden but you Pokemon generation wouldn't know about that. Shinobu means stealth in Japanese and that meaning holds true. During the day it is Maki Sushi and at night the Japanese Red Sun…More »

Toronto, ON M2K 1C3
(416) 730-8555
Category:
Seafood Markets
Neighbourhood: Bayview Village
Great little Shop + Fish Market + Take-Out Sushi/Sashimi spot. Everything was packaged and displayed very neatly. There's Cooked Items, Oysters, Sashimi/Sushi, Whole FISH, Grocery, Drinks, Frozen Items, Prepped Seafood, etc...
Asked Jennifer K. if…More »
3. Izakaya Ju
Izakaya Ju works for me...
An Izakaya is a type of Japanese drinking establishment which also serves food to accompany the drinks. There are 2 elements at Ju that suits me quite well, but obviously not all people can be ME. I think if you consider…More »
4. Izakaya Tsuki
Wara Wara Wara Warayaki! If only the diners could actually see the Straw Fire BBQ that would make the night for me but obviously it would have been a fire hazard but I would have been happy to sign a waiver like they do for Armaggedon Wings.…More »

Line'd up for a total of............................ .... 0 minutes. Awesome!

6. Raa Izakaya Sushi and Sake Bar
Toronto, ON M2N
(416) 224-0075
Categories:
Japanese,
Sushi Bars
Neighbourhood: Willowdale
Decided to get Izakaya'd in the "Traditional" sense. Round up the Guys(Karl R, Jennifer K) and went to a Sake Bar that had the elements to make Saturday Night good-times friendly.
My Izakaya Equation [SLAC] = Snacks + Laughs + Alcohol + Casual…More »
7. Guu Izakaya
Toronto, ON M5B
(416) 977-0999
Categories:
Japanese,
Tapas Bars
Neighbourhood: Downtown Core
I went here on back-to-back Saturdays, and by now most of you know the wait time but thats why my friends go to Bulldog Coffee (close 7pm sharp!, said the barista) while we wait if we went early evening times.
First experience really SPOILED me…More »
8. Koyoi Restaurant & Bar
I remember walking by this Izakaya with a bunch of Yelpers as we went to Ethiopian House for our Okonomiyaki UYE. It was SUPER packed then on that Friday but unfortunately it was nothing of that kind this Wednesday. They open 5pm and we were there…More »
9. Aoyama & Sushi Restaurant
I didn't believe my GPS when it said 'Arriving at Aoyama' but as I drove by I did see the white sign. I guess it's not a place you would normally look for a Japanese restaurant as there is nothing else Asian related in this plaza or the one beside…More »
10. Cafe Green Tea
Home Style Japanese Cooking? Domo Arigato. I'm sure most of you J-Town fanatics have been here before in this semi Food Court setting in a serve-self dining area where you pour your own Water but at least you'll notice it's next to the tap with a…More »
11. Kenzo Japanese Noodle House
An Asian men approaches me so I call out "King of Kings". He ask what I would like to drink and suggests Tea, sure. As I sit looking at the small but Ramen-esque decor of Ramen Specials on the walls and Introduction of Ramen origins.
I face a cute…More »
12. Le Cafe Michi
Toronto, ON M1T 1H6
(416) 490-9688
Categories:
Sushi Bars,
Japanese
Neighbourhood: Scarborough
We walked in to see approximately 3 tables of Couples and a Single Lady at the Sushi Bar. Yup, this place had reservations on pretty much all other tables. EXCEPT for mine. :P
We were offered to go into the Sushi Bar area rather than the Cafe area.…More »
13. Soba Canada
Toronto, ON M4W 3N4
(416) 436-7997
Category:
Japanese
Neighbourhoods: Church-Wellesley Village, Downtown Core
Traditional and Authenticity brought me to Soba Canada's website a few years ago. The curiosity began as typically watching a television show of a Soba Chef cutting FINE lengths of fresh Soba with a Soba Kiri. (http://en.wikipedia.or...)
Having…More »
14. Niwatei
I came here for a specific purpose only, RAMEN! Inside the space the decor was bordering more towards an attempt to provide some atmosphere but not completing it fully. There were cartoon hangings on the wall as well as a couple shelf structures…More »
15. Konnichiwa
The scale of this restaurant made it feel like a Cafe as we came at a time more suitable for Konbanwa than Konnichiwa. We sat next to the window space for 2 with a table circumference that's just enough to fit 2 Bento meals and not much more. That…More »
16. Zen Japanese Restaurant
Scarborough, ON M1J 2E1
(416) 265-7111
Category:
Japanese
Neighbourhood: Scarborough
It's been awhile since I entered a restaurant which has a traditional Japanese CURTAIN entrance so it's almost assumed from that starting point on that expectations should be held somewhat high.
As I went in 2:00 pm Wed I saw the last 2 patrons head…More »
17. Rikishi Japanese Restaurant
While I began to doze-off faintly over-hearing my Friend murmur of the What-zakaya opening few blocks East of Rikishi, I ponder if fate will bring the same Izayaka Trend from the Westcoast which left the more Traditional Sushi establishments in its…More »
18. Fin Izakaya
Toronto, ON M4P 1G8
(647) 347-3864
Category:
Japanese
Neighbourhoods: Mount Pleasant and Davisville, Yonge and Eglinton
A Fin Izakaya Dude came out to meet me at streetside so he can show me the Parking Lot and open the Private Gateway in wet weather. The service continues to satisfy once inside the Izakaya. Taking orders, friendly smiles, misunderstanding English.…More »

Categories:
Japanese,
Sushi Bars
Neighbourhood: Willowdale
While "Friends" went on their separately planned HOT date-night, I didn't do so bad myself. Even Paris Hilton would have said "That's Hot" in her sensual tone. Unfortunately instead of pointing at me, she would point at my date with Inakaya's…More »
20. Nine Up Sushi
CONVEYOR Belt Sushi... Now just imagine if someone opens a Conveyor Belt Dessert! :D My Friends would wish the Belt ends inside their mouth.
Food going around and around and around in front of you continuously is quite fascinating actually. It's…More »
21. Naniwa-Taro
As a marathon runner prepares for his run, I prepared myself for tomorrow with a full CARB diet of Japanese Vegetable Ramen($4.48) at Naniwa-Taro. I just love their Octopus logo, I think it means you can get your Takoyaki($4.25/6, $4.98/8) on at…More »
22. Nigiri-Ya
I think compassion might have to do with my rating of this place, I'm getting weak. This is a small hidden cozy warm Sushi shop that is open due to a Husband and Wife team. Friendly folks and I wish them success as there wasn't many patrons this…More »
23. Ematei Japanese Restaurant
I went along with 8 friends with 6:30 pm reservations on a Saturday evening and took the inside large square table. We did our drink orders where one of them got Umeshu, and was asked if she wanted it 'On the Rocks' and she said sure. Knowing she…More »
24. Manpuku Japanese Eatery
*2.5 Stars*
The UDON is decent, as good as the frozen packs I get at Asian Markets which are about $1.00 per individual serving. What I cannot replicate(YET) at home is the balance of the Soup Base, or at least I haven't been that dedicated to…More »
25. Kokoni Izakaya
Toronto, ON M4Y 2C8
(647) 346-0886
Category:
Japanese
Neighbourhoods: Church-Wellesley Village, Downtown Core
If I had KNOWN that this would be my last stop for dinner this Wednesday night, I would have ordered a few more items here. Right beside Chino Locos we went inside and was totally awed by the setting which was how Izakaya should be.
The…More »
26. Makimono
LUNCH SPECIAL! We stepped into an absolutely BEAUTIFUL restaurant which is rare for an AYCE Japanese restaurant in this part of town. There is an architectural feel to it as most of the place is in a wooden pattern from the floors to the walls that…More »
27. Kobo Gourmet
I've got to say I prefer seated facing the Kitchen. Especially at Japanese restaurants with Japanese staff, the Guys know what I mean. Half of the pleasure is to watch them gracefully step from the Kitchen to your Table-side with that sunshiny smile…More »
28. Etsu Japanese Restaurant
Toronto, ON M5T 1L1
(416) 599-4200
Etsu off the main Dundas street on the Baldwin strip gives itself even more mystique.
As you peek your head through the Garden entrance into it's own intriguing Wonderland that features Japanese cuisine.
The theme continues within it's doors not to…More »
29. Spoon & Fork
Relatively new Spoon & Fork in the Woodbridge area. Some would say Japanese & Thai Cuisine don't mix at restaurants but the scenario differs when it's AYCE Dinner($24.99). Design of the space is elegant, chic bar lounge vibe at least front of house…More »
30. Pixel 8 Lounge
When this Lounge officially opened they did quite a bit of advertising on Chinese newspapers promoting their Wi-Fi access and Noodles with a Decor with bright color palettes that shouts out ENERGY and COOL at the same time.
At the time most other Tea…More »
31. Ajisen Ramen
Ajisen Ramen($5.95)...
Tonkotsu Broth I do have to say I enjoy but then I naturally enjoy and set a preference for this type of Broth over other selections. It was a Milky Broth and at the same time Tonkotsu is always satisfying much like a Beef Stew…More »
32. Yang's Teppanyaki & Sushi
Come in with the mindset that it is a Japanese RESTAURANT! It is not an AYCE Japanese Restrauant. It is not a Japanese Ramen Restaurant. It is not a Japanese Izakaya Restaurant.
They offer Teppanyaki, Sushi, Sashimi, and Set Meals. Expect to pay…More »
33. Kaori Japanese Restaurant
At Kaori, I had the Kaori Sushi Combo for $19.95 and was quite satisfied with the Mix of Sushi and Roll that both tasted fresh and was quite filling coming with it's own Sushi Boat, now only if they had a large Miso lake around it.
While I enjoyed the…More »
34. Ginza Sushi
The NEWEST of all the Ginza Sushi branches, this location has been open for approximately 3 months and I was not aware of it. Maybe because the last time I visited this new corner plaza at Dufferin and Major Mackenzie was in December for the easily…More »
35. Sakura Sushi
For a Tuesday lunch a day after Monday Holiday, everything was still consistent EXCEPT the Tempura batter. The Shrimp Tempura was more of a Flour Batter making it more batter and doughy.
The Shrimp Tempura that was made into a ROLL was lacking of…More »

36. Syogun Japanese Cuisine
Syogun is a convenient spot for the Markham/Richmond Hill crowd for AYCE Japanese food. It's nearby Hwy 407 and it's on a Woodbine ave. stretch coming off of Hwy 404.
There is a Karaoke Lounge on top so there's always entertainment after dinner.…More »
37. Hockey Sushi
How does naming a Sushi restaurant "Thousand Island" sound to you? At least that is the Chinese name of this place but I guess in this area, that specific business name wouldn't make sense now would it? If you name it after a Canadian fav pass-time,…More »

Category:

I walked in somewhat greeted by a nonchalant older lady and a somewhat interested mid-age lady but didn't notice the MAN that Chris P. conversed. I chose my own spot on this Wednesday afternoon with only one other table of 2 having Burger…More »
