Toronto North | Premium Izakaya Experience at Ryu Izakaya

Tonight, we dined at the newly opened Ryu Izakaya—a buzzing Japanese gastropub in Richmond Hill. With full bookings every night, we wisely reserved a 6 PM table in advance. Our group tried 8 dishes + 2 cocktails, with mostly hits and no major misses. Total came to ~$60/person after tax. 🍣 Dish Highlights 🌟 Dragon Ball – A must-try signature! 🌟 Soft Shell Crab – Perfectly crispy with no greasiness. 🌟 F*ck Ryu Roll – Creative and flavorful (don’t let the name scare you!). 🌟 Mentaiko Shrimp Udon – Creamy, spicy, and ultra-rich—ideal carb fix. 🍹 Cocktail Picks 🍸 Lychee Blast – Stronger alcohol kick 🍹 Mango Magic – Light and fruity (great for non-drinkers) ⚠️ Skip These ❌ Oden – Just average ❌ Beef Tataki – Nothing special 📍 Ryu Izakaya 115 York Blvd #2, Richmond Hill Pro tip: Book ahead—walk-ins wait 30+ mins! #TorontoIzakaya #JapaneseFood #RichmondHillEats
