    Went there for date night. Love their rice noodles and snacks and most importantly the cocktails! It’s a perfect spot to hang out with friends and enjoy the night! Will definitely visit again! Popcorn chicken is a MUST-TRY

    Had a great time with friends at the On/Off bar, great atmosphere and comfortable seating. It is worth mentioning that I was amazed by the food served at the bar! Because the bar has a special kind of dried fish that has never been eaten anywhere else in Toronto, it is recommended to try if you are visiting! My girlfriend loves the chicken braised in coconut water at the restaurant, very sweet and delicious!

    Upon entering this unique bar/restaurant, I was greeted with a pleasing and cool ambience. Accompanied by the welcomes from the employees. Not only was the atmosphere enjoyable, the drinks and food were breathtaking to the eye as well as the mouth. I personally think this store has made great success despite opening only a few months ago. Would greatly recommend! :D

    Small and cozy neighborhood spot to sit down with some friends and enjoy some mixed drinks. Love the atmosphere with the dimly lit neon concept. Helpful staff that can recommend the right drinks. Would suggest ideally for groups of 2-4 as the space is small.

    Happy Friday 😍💃🏻 If you’re wondering what to do this weekend look no further !!! ONOFF izakaya bar has you covered with their amazing drinks, delicious food and super chill vibes 🔥💯 I visited them last weekend and I’m still dreaming about their fried chicken 🤤🤤🤤 We tried the following to eat: - Typhoon Shelter Chicken Wings - Popcorn Chicken We literally got 2 orders of each dish throughout the night lol perfect food to munch away while we literally drank through their menu lolol 👀 The wings omg the wingsssss so so delicious, super crispy and just the right amount of spice! Worthy of licking your fingers I swear 🤤 The popcorn chicken was so yummy and crispy as well, their sauce was the highlight for me though lol I feel like it was a spicy mayo maybe? Idk what they put in it but it tasted so damn delish lol 😆 When it comes to drinks they’ve got so much variety legit something for everyone! If you fancy fruity and pretty cocktails the blue blue sky will make you feel like you’re on vacay sipping on a holiday drink 🍹💙 They have other classics like the Whiskey Sour and Long Island iced tea (my favourite of the night hehe 😋) The music was lit and the staff treated you like family, again shoutout to my girl Serena killing it at the bar and Jeremy and Jin for the amazing service and eats 🥰 What a wild time ❤️ So what are you waiting for ?! Check them out y’all 💃🏻 This one is highly recommended ✨

    Kinda a small vibe but look so cool inside. The decor is simple but it brings me to feel fond of staying here so much. 10/10 for the quality in serving, and food taste including drinks here either ( no salty, and tasty ). But just... I think the music they turn up too much, I prefer to turn it down by little will be perfect. All lefts are so amazing to me. ❤️

    First time coming here and it didn't disappoint! The atmosphere was great and had a lot of cool decorations. Staff were super friendly and patient with our requests too. Drinks were yummy and the food was good - would definitely get the curry udon again. Had high hopes for the chicken wings but lacked flavour. Would definitely come back and try their other menu items!

    This is the type of bar where I can proudly bring my friends after telling them “I know a place.” 100/10 for the cocktails. Adequately boozy but also flavourful with other ingredients. 9/10 for the food. I forgot the name of the soup we ordered, but it was a bit salty and odd mixture of the contents 100/10 for the service. There was a mixup in the order but the staff quickly made it up.

    The place is hot! Packing! The mood of the bar is great, some really nice drinks and the people there are absolutely amazing. Came here after dinner to stop by for a drink, next time will stop by again to try the food there! Our fav drink and you have to try is the godfather! Think maybe movie is where they got the name from, and like the movie it was fire!

    The bar gave off a cool vibe and atmosphere with its decor. I went here with the boys and the music catered to our music taste since we knew all of the songs. Also, we enjoyed the food, especially the Taiwanese popcorn chicken - which is a must try! I highly recommend this bar as I definitely will be coming back here in the future!

    ON/OFF is a relatively new izakaya that opened its doors back in April! While they offer a variety of delicious & creative drinks, they also offer East Asian dishes that have a modern twist to them! Aside from their food & drinks, they also have all the vibes! This is the perfect place for a late-night outing with friends or a date :) While waiting for your drinks & food to arrive, feel free to snack on the complimentary sunflower seeds at your table! We tried their: 🍜 Creamy Curry Udon Noodles We’ve tried this before and came back to have it again! The udon never disappoints, as it’s cooked to perfection every time—QQ and chewy. The udon noodles are mixed into a strong curry-flavoured sauce, that’s balanced nicely with a bit of sweetness and spice. 🍟 ONOFF Poutine (new item) This was a SOLID dish (both flavour & texture). The fries were so crispy (similar to Costco’s style) and covered in an addicting cheesy meat & tofu sauce—umami with a small kick of spice. 🌮 ONOFF Taco (new item) We saw almost every table get this, so we had to try! The taco shell was freshly fried & very crispy (we think it’s deep fried rice paper?) The taco contained ground beef, white onions, tomatoes, and cilantro, and was topped of with a sauce. The little bit of sourness and spice worked very well to give contrast to the saltiness of the meat. 🍹 New Gin-based Pineapple Cocktail (will update when we find out the name!) Cheers to new cocktails on the menu! This new, eye-catching cocktail has the prettiest layers!! The bottom layer is a mix of Lillet and pineapple, orange, and lemon juice. They then top this off with gin from Empress 1908 Gin, which gives it that beautiful purple layer. Overall, this drink was sweet and you get a hint of pineapple with every sip. It tasted just a bit stronger than their Blue Blue Sky cocktail.

    Great music (90s-2000s hiphop/rnb), great cocktails, and good food. The space is on the smaller side, so bigger groups might have a challenge fitting in, especially when it’s busy. We got the whisky sour, berry berry, oolong affair, poetry of plum, popcorn chicken, curry udon, and corn cheese pizza. We did order the poutine, but they forgot to bring it to us, and we got full anyway, but they didn’t charge so no harm there. Plates are snack sized shareables, and drinks are well crafted and the servers are very knowledgeable. Overall would recommend checking out!

    The food was great and it was the right portions for my friend and I. The cocktail specials, were amazing! We ended up ordering our same drinks again. Also, the service really made a difference. Our server recommended our drinks and they were all very friendly and sociable. We’re definitely coming back!

    Went for a galentine’s night with my friend for the first time and we really enjoyed the food (creamy curry udon is a must), drinks (blueblue sky is a 10/10), and ambience (cute mahjong lights)! We also got roses 🫶🏻

    OnOff has a cool vibe, and the food that they serve is not bad. The atmosphere is good for a group of friends to drink and chill, but the music can get quite loud and overpower conversations. We ordered the creamy curry udon, tofu rice noodles, truffle french fries, and a blueblue sky cocktail. The udon had a good flavour and was really enjoyable, and the cocktail was well made and tasty as well. The consistency of the tofu rice noodle sauce could have been thicker as it would not really stick to the noodles, and the flavouring on the fries was not spread out very well. Overall still a good experience with good service!

    The food and cocktails were absolutely amazing!! I ordered the Tofu Rice Noodles and I have to say it is a must-try. The flavor is very authentic and super delicious. I love the Secret Chicken Crispy Bone as well. Very Tasty! Would definitely come back again.

    Great spot to chill with a few friends. Vibes is good and music is really good too. I didn’t have any food, only drinks. The bartender knew his drinks and they were made well! Overall good experience and a place where I’ll be visiting to just have a drink with friends!

    Cute little spot with a fun but very chill vibe. The server was lovely and attentive. The food was unbelievably good; perfectly breaded, big round juicy chicken wings (not those sad anemic things most "wing places" give you), and the best Japanese curry I've ever had. In fact, it was one of the best curries I've ever had in general - super creamy, pork was perfectly cooked and the flavour was out of this world. The cocktails were also on point, perfectly blended and portioned with beautiful garnishes and served in proper cocktail glasses. The bartender actually came by separately at one point to ask how they were, which was very sweet. Price was fair and well worth it for the quality of the food and experience in general. 10/10 will come back - probably very soon.

    Cozy little bar with a clean and entertaining atmosphere. I came by for a quick bite and both the food and drinks were phenomenal! They interestingly enough start you off with a plethora of sunflower seeds to munch on. I'd highly recommend the Creamy Curry Udon ($15) as it was very enjoyable and flavourful! The Blue Blue Sky cocktail ($15) was well crafted and tastes just as great as it looks. There's a lot of appetizing items to choose from their menu. I'll definitely have to come back for a full on meal next time!

    Visited OnOff for the first time and it did not disappoint! The food was amazing, I recommend trying out the salmon udon and corn cheese pizza, definitely chef’s kiss! I got the sedulaxy drink and it tasted like lemonade but the alcohol was still pretty strong which was really good. The service was great, the staff were really friendly. The music and overall vibe of the restaurant/bar was really nice! The menu items are all inexpensive and mostly shareables, definitely worth the price and visit. (I posted more video clips on my tiktok @paulinnedp for reference)

    I had the pleasure of celebrating my birthday at this establishment, and I must say that the culinary experience it provided was truly exceptional. The service for the cocktails surpassed all expectations, leaving me thoroughly impressed. I highly recommend this establishment, as it undoubtedly deserves a perfect rating of 10 out of 10.

    I booked onoff bar for a private birthday event. To say they provided an incredible experience is an understatement. From the moment I inquired about the venue the communication was impeccable! Gordon and the rest of the staff were so accommodating and made the experience stress free. The drinks and food were so tasty specifically the poutine and popcorn chicken- must orders! I cannot recommend this place enough and will definitely be back!
