Bloor Jinmirak Korean / Japanese Restaurant

 708 Bloor
416-536-0545
Faline, Daniel, and I met up for dinner on Sunday night and we opted for something different than our usual Indian or Thai cuisine. We chose to go to Bloor Jinmirak, a favourite hangout of Faline’s in the Korean Business Neighbourhood at Bloor and Christie. I remember going with Wendy for dinner there to [...]

Fujiyama

49 Baldwin St (416) 596-1913
The food was good, but the service was so much less so.

This is a standard sushi restaurant, the food was really quite good, but the service was exceptionally slow and forgetful, odd considering that the place was half empty on a Saturday night.

I might try it again on [...]

Monsoon (Winterlicious)

100 Simcoe St.
Toronto, ON M5H3G2
Phone: (416) 979-7172
 
No matter how many times I beat the Licious (Winter or Summer) horse I never leave satisfied. My Winterlicious experience at Monsoon was no exception. Arriving precisely at our reservation time of 8 p.m. sharp we were directed to the bar to wait for our table to be prepared. [...]

Okonomi House

23 Charles

Definitely not vegetarian friendly at all. Vegetarians beware! Located right at Charles near Bloor right beside 7 West and across from the Manulife Centre, this cosy dim-lit 10 table space has been serving Japanese food for many years, claims my friend
The menu is 2 pages, very simple. It’s divided into main dishes, okonomi [...]

Katsu Japanese Restaurant

Katsu Japanese Restaurant Phone: (416)466-3388
572 Danforth Avenue, Toronto, ON M4K 1R1

Who would have thought that you could find all you can eat made fresh to order at a reasonable price in Toronto? My first sushi experience was very expensive at $80 each for 3 people. I moved to Vancouver shortly thereafter, and found [...]

San

676 Queen West
416-214-9429
 
San is one of my favourite restaurants on the Queen West strip. My introduction to San was also the first time I tried Korean cuisine and I have returned several times since. San actually serves a mix of Korean and Japanese food with sushi dishes coming alongside more traditional Korean cuisine.
The restaurant itself [...]

New Generation Sushi

493 Bloor St. W.
(416) 963-8861
New Generation Sushi is like a second home to my roomate and his girlfriend. The very reasonable prices, large variety and mostly tasty dishes are very attractive to the student population who flock in droves here most nights. Located right on Bloor St., between Bathurst and Spadina near the University of [...]

Gu-Mi Japanese & Korean Restaurant

Gu-Mi Japanese & Korean Restaurant
1801 Lawrence Ave E. 416-755-0855
With the resounding success of my previous week’s visit to Niji Sushi I decided to try to continue my lucky Scarborough sushi streak with Gu-Mi on the corner of Pharmacy and Lawrence Ave. East.
While similar to Niji in meal complements: I ordered the lunch combination box which [...]
