Shrimp tempura is a must try
Couldn’t believe we missed this authentic Japanese restaurant all these years hidden in north york. Mari took excellent care of us and even suggested the freshly arrived mackerel imported from Japan, it was really fresh! Besides that both my husband and I enjoyed the monkfish liver and both agreed the assorted tempura was done perfectly! ?Anyone can fry up a batch of tempura but in order to get the perfect light crispy crust without the heavy greasy feeling is quite difficult to achieve. 100% for the tempura without a doubt! We appreciate the birthday card it was such a nice touch! Thank you Mari & Chef for the lovely muti-course dinner & dessert it was wonderful! ❤️
Craving sushi but can't eat all so decided to give Aoyama a try.Came here on a Friday night and we were the only one so we got seated right away. One thing I noticed straight away is that the place is very compact and only had four tables. I do know they have a VIP space with more room, but need to make a reservation for that.Next is the food. The sashimi plate was great. I enjoyed the assortment of fish we got. The two sushi rolls was bigger than I expected. All of the rolls comes in 10 pieces per order.Finally, the staff is fantastic. Very courteous and polite. He answered my question regarding the sashimi platter.Overall, I enjoyed my time here and will book a reso for next time!
April 2022 5★A nice small authentic and top notch Japanese restaurant located in an unexpected part of the city.Here, you'll be greeted by staff who are gentle and polite. Inside, there are only 4 tables for a total seating of about 20 people. They do have a VIP side which is next door with a bar.Why you'd pick this restaurant? If your like me and you've been to many Japanese restaurants, the variety of fish is all the same. Here, you'll find some different varieties without paying for too much. Sure, you can go to very high end, but this place does a good job.They have a large selection of fish and some of which are from Japan. They make their own eel and not like those store bought pre seasoned versions. Here, it's authentic.The fish was all great. No complaints there. The dragon roll was also very good. The beef tataki was very good. I would definitely recommend this if your deciding between the wafu steak.Overall, great service, would recommend, booking in advance is recommended.
Everything was authentic Japanese taste. Sushi is always very fresh, perfectly made with well balance between the amount of fish and rice. Wagyu beef was so tender it actually melt in your mouth. Tempura batter was light and crispy, portion was generous with a great variety of vegetables. Service was friendly and helpful. Been here many times and it never disappoints.
Aoyama is a true destination for authentic Japanese cuisine in Toronto. Once inside the restaurant, it is like being back in Japan -- high quality food, courteous staff and a relaxed decor. Always an excellent experience.
One of the best Japanese restaurants in Toronto. The sushi is delicious and it's clear effort and care is put into the dishes.
Excellent quality! First omakase experience and it didn't disappoint. You could taste the freshness of the ingredients.
So good! My go to takeout restaurant for sushi! Order slightly in advance since this is a small mom and pop type shop if you’re ordering a lot! Great quality fish for a amazing price!
Great omakase. The butter lobster was to die for. Appetizer was lovely as well.It’s a homey unassuming spot that is really a neighborhood hidden gem.
