๐จ๐ฆ This Toronto Downtown Izakaya Gets 70/100 From Me
Izakaya lovers, assemble! ๐ข Recently visited Kintaro Izakaya - some hits, some misses. Let me break it down ๐๐ป ๐ Prince Mushrooms were the STAR - juicy with perfect charcoal aroma! ๐ฅ ๐ฅฉ Beef skewers were unfortunately overcooked and tough ๐ ๐ฑ Their grilled skewer platter lets you sample various options - great for sharing! ๐ฅฉ Must-try: The Gyu Tataki (beef tataki) - thinly sliced, tender, with scallions and special sauce! ๐ฃ Spicy Tuna Roll was fresh but flavor-wise played it too safe - nothing memorable ๐ Main Dishes Review: ใปUnagi Don & Spicy Udon Soup: Average - tastes you can find anywhere ใปYaki Udon: WOK HEI perfection! Chewy noodles, rich sauce - wanted to order seconds! ๐๐ป ๐ฎ The wooden Japanese decor creates great ambiance... BUT! Service was questionable โ Despite many empty tables, they seated us right by the restroom (dining with "special" aromas, anyone? ๐ ) Even worse: Slow service + 1.5-hour dining limit at an ร la carte restaurant? Felt like a buffet rush! #TorontoLife #Toronto #TorontoEats #IzakayaFood #JapaneseFood #YakitoriLover #HiddenGems #100RestaurantsChallenge #TorontoFoodie #TorontoIzakaya
