🇨🇦 Toronto's Hidden Gem: New Retro's Legendary Uni Bowl

🍣 Uni & Salmon Roe Donburi: The generous portions will shock you—sweet, buttery uni paired with bouncy squid and rich fish cubes creates literal fireworks of flavor in every bite. 🧄 Thick-Cut Garlic Butter Toast: Crispy outside, cloud-soft inside—the perfect balance of garlic and cheese that’s simple but addictive. 🥚 Six-Appetizer Platter: Marinated fish roe, chilled pea shoots, perfectly jammy egg, creamy potato mash, pickled mountain greens… EVERY SINGLE ONE was a hit. (I scraped the plate clean on the egg and mash!) 🥩 Seared Steak: Tender with just the right chew, black garlic sauce elevates it from Japanese to high-end Western fusion. 🌿 Bonus Garlic Shoots: After I mentioned loving them, the server secretly brought an extra plate. It’s these little touches that make dining here special. 🍺 Hitachino Nest IPA: A smooth, mildly bitter Japanese craft beer that complements raw dishes perfectly. 📍 New Retro B1-193 Carlton St, Toronto 📝 Final Thoughts: Not a "wow at first bite" spot, but one that lingers in your memory. The warm service and balanced flavors make it ideal for dates—or even solo indulgence. #TorontoEats #JapaneseCuisine #UniLover #HiddenGems #DateNightSpot #CraftBeer #IzakayaVibes #TorontoFoodie
