This is a great addition to Bloorcourt. Too many bars! My dining partner got carrot ginger soup, which was smooth and delicious. I got Beer Plus, which might’ve been a temporary special, which was Edamame + Poutine + Tall Can of Sapporo for $ 10, which I knew would be an instant success(beer alone was $ 7.50). The waitress came by with a free salad because a big group at a different table had just ordered and she was worried we would not be happy waiting. We were surprised because it really wasn’t a problem, the wait seemed pretty average. My dining mate got Yakitori Don, I got Gyu Don, both of them with an egg. Great prices and really delicious. I’m craving it now just thinking about it. We were so full we got a little take-out container of some Don leftovers, which was adorable in itself for being so small.

First time here, glad to see a really great restaurant open up in Bloorcourt! The food was fantastic; incredibly quick and attentive service. Highly recommend the Karaage chicken and Gyu Don with rice. Portion sizes seemed perfect, and the ingredients were very fresh and flavourful. Will definitely be going back soon!

Super great tasty food, great little fusion restaurant for the area. Friendly staff as well! Had the Vegan Chickpea Curry with Naan bread; great warm fresh bread and tasty red curry will be coming back.

Had no idea this place existed until I randomly walked by. Didn’t expect much but thought I’d try it out for lunch takeout. Had the gyu beef don and it was amazing! The beef was moist and soft. The salad was ok, nothing special, just your typical salad. Will definitely come back to try their karaage

Nice relaxed vibe, great service. Yakitori Don with Ohitashi, paired with a couple local craft beers, exceptional! Finished it all off with an espresso and a dish of the chef’s unbelievably delicious cheesecake!

I’m writing this review because this place deserves to be busy! Go there, Bloordale/Dovercourt Village/Duff Grove! Do it! We stopped in today because the menu really hooked us(and I wanted to see what had happened to Tokyo Sushi, and I really liked their sign, tbh). We both had the schnitzel sandwich, mostly because it sounded weird enough to piqué our interest(tomato sauce, mayo, fried chicken aren’t generally three things I’d eat together on a sandwich), and it was SOGOOD. They gave us karaage chicken as an appetizer promotion, and it was very, very good. The espresso shots they pulled for me were also great. Also great: the price. The service was outstanding; smiles, hellos, check-ins, refills, even the chef came out to ask how we liked the food. Will definitely be back to try to pulled beef dog!

I only had the Karaage chicken and the salad with pickled celery and cucumber this time. But it was killer. If I dabbled more I’d had the home-made mayo plus other things in the menu. I *am* coming back. And the beer prices will make sure I do.

Delicious braised beef(Gyu Don). The carrot soup with ginger was bright and zesty. Definitely try the Karaage crispy fried chicken! Happy to return and explore this menu.

Second time here, but loving the food all over again! I’m a little bias because I love karaage, but they have great, crispy, juicy karaage served that wholesome home made mayonnaise! This time the soup was a refreshing carrot ginger soup, and I decided to explore the other side of the world with their Pulled Beef Dog option, opposite to the Gyu Don I had last week. Sumptuous, soft bread giving way to the gyu filling and that ever curious pickles ginger making everything sing a little happier. Didn’t have time for dessert, but I will be back… For that darn good lemon cheesecake. Its really good Japanese food. Reminds me of home cooking, and the love that’s put into it that makes it so addictive.
