Took my siblings here, and we all enjoyed it. We each got our own bowls. I got the Bacon Steakie Don. We also got a Karaage to share it was so cripsy!
Lovely place, cute decor and music, good service :)
I got karaage and the gyu curry (beef curry), and they were both really nice. A flavourful spicy sauce with the karaage, and the beef curry had a nice japanese curry sauce with a bit of spice, decent amount of tender beef chunks and lots of carrots (and some pineapple but absolutely not overpowering). The rice was lovely! Very filling, I would definitely come again!

Nice, well-balanced meals, large selection, affordable. The interior is simple and pretty, taking you outside of Toronto. I liked everything, the service was fast, very polite. Great place.
The staff are very friendly and quick to service the table. The food was also delicious and well portioned - making for a great date night that feels a little nicer yet doesn't break the bank.
I got the Karubi Beef-don (which is medium rare steak sliced over a bed of rice, and sauce over top) + I added Egg yolk which really elevated my dish 👌 and my boyfriend got the classic Gyu-don which is marinated beef slices (so good!). The pepper tuna tataki (seared) had a very nice sauce pairing and was a great light appetizer - but you don't need to get apps tbh, unless your super hungry, because the donburi is well portioned.
If you like citrusy cocktails, their Yuzu-Lime sake was SO good and only $6!

More like 4.5 stars - my salmon dish was great for what it was, and the cabbage salad white nice, although I expected to find a bit more variety in salmon dishes, I would probably not normally have ordered a mayo salmon bowl.
i've come here 3 times and it's pretty good. the donburi bowls are honestly kinda pricey for what it is but get the side dishes because those are really worth it. i like the karaage and sweet potato side dishes. the first 2 times the bowl came with miso soup and a small salad but i didn't get it the third time, idk. they have 10% cash discount which is nice and the staff are amazing, so kind and helpful.
Went here on a whim and enjoyed my time eating here. The wait staff was very nice and I ask for their recommendations. I got the fire yakiniku bowl . I thought the beef would have been seasoned but it’s more of a gochujang base that’s put on top. A bit of a letdown but it was still good.
The Karubi Don was actually so delicious, it wasn’t too salty but still very flavorful, and the chefs made it extra rare for me like I had asked. Me and two friends shared the Pepper Tuna Tataki as an appetizer, and it’s safe to say we all enjoyed it thoroughly. We really liked the sauce they gave us to go with the tuna because the flavors went well with each other.
Inside the restaurant, the atmosphere was very cozy and artistic feeling. All of the decorations, and wall art went beautiful with all the wooden walls. The service was good, our waiters and waitresses were super nice and accommodating for every second of our stay.
As for prices, it is a little expensive but I’d say that it’s a fair price. There was a good amount of beef and rice, everything was delicious and ultimately we ended up being full. If you want to splurge a little bit but not break the bank, this is a great place to go! :)
