Ronin Izakaya

A really cool spot to grab some skewers and other Japanese comfort foods. The skewers were a little dry but I really enjoyed the unagyu-don.

Great atmosphere and great service! Servers were all very friendly and attentive. Some items we ordered were delicious but prices were on the higher end. The presentation for the Chicken Samurai ($25) was unique but not worth the price in my opinion. I'd recommend the Gyu Don ($18) and the Sweet Potato Fries ($7)! I also ordered the Matcha Hi cocktail, which was very strong. I liked and prefered the Lychee Mojito a lot more.

Hopped in for a quick snack. I can see this izakaya being lively at night. Their decor and wall interiors were pretty cool.
The food was ok - we did enjoy the okonomiyaki. The chicken karaage was decent but not our favourite spot for it. I’m more of a ‘sauce on the side’ for this one.

The drinks were great! The food was okay. For the price we would have hoped for a bit better, but maybe our expectations were a bit high. The clams were honestly good, but the skewers were quite dry and for most of the food the flavours were bland or not super well rounded. The service was great and the atmosphere was nice though so I hope the food can improve in the future.

Hidden gem in Toronto away from the hustle and bustle on Dundas. Lots of traditional Izakaya options. The oden was delicious, lot of spirits, traditional Japanese beers.

Very good atmosphere and service was great even though I have asked for lots of veggie questions. Staff are willing to help and serve.

Veggies Yakitori shewers were amazing. Oden was decent and lots of veggies variety.

Note:
Looks like they don't have 20% for shewers on Wednesday anymore and don't have the veggie Yakitori set anymore so i just picked all the veggies that they have 🍅 tomato, oyster mushrooms 🍄, and zucchini as shewers.

Let’s start with the food, the seafood skewers set were nice, loved the shrimp, as well as the scallops, the unagi was good as well but nothing too special. I would give it a 6/10.

Next the beef skewers, half of them were dry, the rest (I think was beef tongue) was slightly better, but it was a let down, not a bang for your buck. 4/10

Takoyaki seems to be a bit better than other places, was not extremely doughy like other places.

Drinks were fine, but the price is not justified, knowing that when you go to an Izakaya it will cost a bit, but the taste was like water with fruit fragrance, the grape one was a bit better.

Service was extremely good, server came and check on you often, always smiling, very friendly.

Decor was nice, simple, with the murals on the walls, that’s maybe for the better, no one likes it when the decor is overwhelming.

Overall the experience was fine, nothing too special but for that price maybe the food and drinks could have tasted better.

Love the ambience and decorations⭐️All the food was so fresh and tasty yumm😋 100% Japanese vibes. The girl server was so cute and friendly too💖
