Sorry Kyoto Katsugyu｜Toronto's Hidden Izakaya Gem

📍 Ryu Izakaya 115 York Blvd #2, Richmond Hill Craving sukiyaki at midnight, I randomly picked this place—and had my mind blown! 🥩 Better Than Kyoto Katsugyu Juicier & more tender than the famous chain (default medium-rare, ask for well-done if preferred). Their secret black pepper seasoning cuts through the richness perfectly. 🍗 Chicken Wings Stuffed With Minced Pork Think Japanese-style lion's head meatballs in crispy wings. Glazed with teriyaki—carnivore's dream (best shared, it's heavy!) 🍲 Wagyu Sukiyaki A5 beef melts on your tongue in balanced sweet broth. Pro move: Add udon to soak up all that umami! 🍚 Legendary Oyakodon Perfectly crispy-yet-tender chicken, custardy half-set eggs, and sauce-coated rice. Mix it all for heaven in a bowl～ 🍣 Skip These Sushi is average (though oyster sushi is fun to try), save your appetite for Kinka 🌃 Vibe Check • Rare! Opens at lunchtime unlike most izakayas • Transforms into cyberpunk bar with DJ at night • $50/person gets you $100-worth happiness #TorontoIzakaya #WagyuSukiyaki #LateNightEats
