Ohiru Cafe

Brunch restaurant

👍👍 This is the first place since the pandemic that was worth what we paid for. The carbonara was delicious, if you don't know what to get off the menu try that one. The texture of the udon noodles is out of this world, and the flavour is creamy, umami, and savoury without being too overwhelming. The gr...

Sushi Karu

Sushi restaurant

😠 Yikes! The quality and quantity of this restaurant has diminished severely. It used to be good. What I got tonight from my order was tiny and pitiful. I ordered the rainbow roll, and each roll was so small with a tiny sliver of fish. Will never order from these guys again.

Gyubee Japanese Grill (Dundas)

Japanese restaurant

👍 I had heard about Gyubee so I brought our friends there for dinner to try them out. The reservation system I don’t like due to the fact that waitlist only, not setup for a specific time. It was very busy that night because there were people waiting outside even. When they seated us the server came o...

KINTON RAMEN HARBOURFRONT

👍👍 Friends’ recommendation so we went there for Sunday lunch. You need to choose from four different broths, thick or thin noodles, and add toppings.

Hana Don Japanese Cuisine & Bar

Japanese restaurant

🫤 We had the Valentines Day and sea urchin “from Japan” specials. The second course maki was the best tasting, this still only 3-star since all else were quite disappointing despite the rave reviews and busy, crowd. Friendly and kind service, and warm atmosphere but the dry rice and lacking flavors an...

Zen Kyoto

👍👍 Alright so I got the deluxe chirashi from here. The blend of fish was excellent, the torched fish was well balanced and the abalone was a nice touch on top. Update: Got the torched sushi combo. Very good. Another update: Got a sashimi plate. Also very good.
