🇨🇦 Who Understands the Gold Standard of This Wagyu Sandwich? 🥩🥪
I hereby declare this Japanese izakaya my current late-night obsession! A few nights ago, my midnight cravings hit hard, so I dragged my snack buddy to Richmond Hill—and oh boy, was it worth it! My friend calls it their #1 izakaya, and after trying it, I totally get why. 😋 🍞 [Gyu Sando] – Wagyu Beef Sandwich Four thick-cut slices of heaven! Tender beef sirloin + Japanese milk bread, toasted to crispy perfection with a buttery aroma. The fresh lettuce salad inside balances it perfectly, and the juicy beef paired with yuzu mayo? UNREAL. We immediately ordered a second round—that’s how good it is. 😍 🍠 [Yam Fries] – Sweet Potato Fries Crispy outside, soft inside, with a natural sweetness that’s so satisfying. Served with thousand-island dip, and they arrived lightning-fast! Portion size? Generous. 🍢 [Skewers] – Grilled Skewers Chicken cartilage / gizzard / beef tongue / pork belly—ALL HITS! Perfectly charred, juicy, and way meatier than most izakayas. The thick-cut beef tongue? Bouncy and tender. The pork belly? Caramelized with a honey glaze—MUST ORDER! 🍶 [House Sake] Tried their signature cold sake—smooth, aromatic, and lightly sweet. A perfect "girl-friendly" sipper for a cozy night. 👌🏻 ✨ VIBES & DEALS Happy Hour (weekdays after 9 PM) = SUPER worth it! Lightning-fast service + super-friendly staff (with top-tier visuals, btw). Cozy, quiet atmosphere—great for deep chats over drinks. Weekends get packed, so reservations recommended! 💰 $50-70 per person (with drinks) 📍 Ryu Izakaya - 115 York Blvd #2, Richmond Hill #TorontoEats #IzakayaLove #WagyuSandwich #TorontoFoodie #LateNightBites #JapaneseFood #RichmondHillEats #HiddenGems #TorontoLife
