I have been eating at this place ever since I can remember!
It is one of the few Japanese restaurants in Toronto run by an actual Japanese person [Mr. Masuda]. For a true Japanese experience, eat here.

You can sit at a western style table or at a…More »

Haven't been here in a while, but went today with the parental unit to pick up some food.

I used to love their sushi, but not anymore.
We ordered a variety of rolls for friends who are moving to the neighborhood today. Anyway, each piece was a…More »

    I have been a customer of Taro since he started at J-Town. It's nice to see how big this business… Read more »

Guu is a true izakaya !

I was invited by a fellow Yelper to join a UYE at Guu this evening. For a Tuesday night, it was ridiculously busy. Apparently tonight was relatively calm compared to other nights in the week. They open at 5:30 every night and…More »

Conveniently located minutes away from Bloor/Yonge Station, I happen to stumble upon this establishment on the way home. The location is not car-friendly as parking is hard to come by; however, for the TTC riders and individuals who work in the area,…More »

Neighbourhood: Niagara

4.0 star rating

I am and will always be a fan of King Street. Last summer I started exploring this street as it has a myriad of cafes and restaurants. Being a Japanese speaker, the name Wagamama caught my eye as it means "whiner, complainer etc."

It's hidden and the…More »

While in college, I met a Canadian girl who was really into Japan and Japanese culture. She told me about how she was a waitress in a Japanese restaurant in Niagara Falls. It's not too common to see a Caucasian girl working in a J-resto so I thought…More »

The sushi here is not that great; I find the rice to non-rice ratio wacked. That being said, whenever I come here, I eat a Korean entry. This is probably your safest bet as it is it run by Koreans. :)

The service is pretty good. Staff is pleasant…More »

What better way to spend a summer day then to have lunch with coworkers from your former place of employment? I had lunch here today with some former colleagues as we are no longer teaching at the same school. One of the said FC's lives down the…More »

I'm not too sure what the hype of this place is.
There's more authentic and delicious sushi in Toronto.
The only attraction of this place for me is that it's cheap and I get a scoop of mango ice cream after.

Anyway, drop in if you're in the area. If…More »

After a four day week, which felt like an eternity, a few colleagues and I decided to go out for dinner. Between the six of us, the majority felt like Japanese rather than Greek cuisine.

This place is more convenient for me (during the weekday) than…More »
