Service was very good. Love the food! Do try the creamy lobster udon. It has awesome flavor. Thank you very much Boku! You brought smiles on all of my friends faces.
Had an amazing experience at the restaurant. As a new immigrant, I am new to the city and the Japanese cuisine. The waiter (I forgot his name, maybe Liam or Jake; I remember that he was Korean) was so humble and patient while taking our order. He was well-informed about the cuisine and the menu, and he helped us decide our first Japanese meals and drinks. Post my experience at Boku, We also observed that he was patiently training the other waitress (I think her name was Bhavya from New Delhi). Both of them were very friendly and accommodating for our requests. The waiter recommended that I try the Spicy Ramen with House Sake. The meal was amazing, and I loved the combination recommended to me. Enjoying the hot and spicy ramen with a view of snowfall outside, made our experience even better. I am coming here again with another group of friends, very soon.Food: 5/5Ambience: 5/5Service: 5/5
Was craving for Japanese food while walking around Distillery and decided to dine here for late lunch. Food were fantastic and delish! I ordered the poke bowl which I think was a lil pricey. And my partner got the curry. We also got free gyoza as it was their promo every Thursday. Server was accommodating and nice. They also have covered and heated patio which was great!
Quiet, lovely interior decor, attentive staff and consistent ramen (Touhenboku Ramen House on Queen)!We went to BOKU on a weekday (March 2022 during the pandemic), dine-in allowed in Toronto. They ask for proof of vaccination at the door. There were very few people that visited during lunchtime. Our table was given a bottle of Q Water to share with glasses. The waitress was nice and very prompt to answer our questions, take our order and check in on our food/service.The menu covers a lot of default Japanese dishes ranging from rice bowls, ramen and sushi rolls. They do have a few BOKU signature items like the soba and stir-fry and Japanese poutine that look tempting as well! We tried the Pork Miso Ramen with an additional nitamago egg. It is consistent ramen to the Touhenboku location. Their ramen has thinly sliced white onion which we didn't mind. Broth is delicious and presentation was great! Nice to know there's an alternative to hiking back up to Queen.Note: BOKU also owns the Touhenboku Ramen House on Queen Street West (which we've frequented before).
Excellent service, delicious food, wonderful ambiance!
Good selection of apps and mains.... Cozy little place and serves japanese beers and whiskey.... Staff has good recommendations
Love Japanese traditional ornaments in the restaurant. And the food we ordered were amazing. Such as a good restaurant hang out with my family!!
The best way to enjoy the Christmas Market is to try all the food offerings in the Distillery Winter Village. We were hungry for warm ramen so we decided to dine n this cozy restaurant located just across the Peace Sign in the Distillery Winter Village. The interiors of this restaurant is decorated with Japanese parasols of various hues hanging from the ceiling. From quite a sizeable menu, I wanted to order Saba fish rice bowl but it was not available so I had to settle for the Unagi bowl while husband ordered a Vegetarian Ramen.As always we had gyoza and seaweed salad this time the seaweed salad was mixed with Arugula. This is a recommended restaurant if you want ramen while visiting the Distillery District.
The food was alright, but didn't feel like authentic Japanese food at all. Sushi rolls were okay. Felt it was catered more to suit the taste of the clientele visiting the area.
The food is delicous and tasty. Good decoration, warm and cozy. The price was Ok, not too expensive. Must try chicken karage. You can also try their Ramen or poke bowl. They are generally good.
