August 22, 2026 - wonderful late night place to have a bite. A lot of items were very shareable. I got the pork donburi. The shareables includes coconut shrimp, okonomiyaki (Japanese seafood pancake) and shimesaba (mackerel). All the food was really tasty and hearty. The mackerel was very tasty and can easily be shared. The pork donburi was also really good. Very saucy and filling. It can get a bit loud as it is an Izakaya, but that's expected. read more

Everything was ok. A bit overpriced for the size and item you are getting. We ordered a fried tofu, a fried chicken rice bowl and beef tartare. No drinks came up to about $35 per person. I don't think it was that special for the price we paid. Might give happy hour a try otherwise it's about $13 a drink. Definitely cheaper places elsewhere. read more

Amazing izakaya spot. Parking is limited with only a few spots behind the restaurant. The restaurant makes it feel like you've entered a Japanese spot the moment you enter! Reservations are recommended on evenings or weekends. They had a $10 high ball drink special going on during the summer. The beef tartare and kataifi-wrapped prawn tempura were the highlights and must get items! Also loved the chicken cartilage too. Staff was friendly and service was quick. Will definitely come back. read more

In the summer, I'm here for late-night meals, and in the winter, I become an Uber Eats regular. They're probably used to seeing my order come through with the note "no green onions please" every single time My forever favorites here are the yukhoe (beef tartare) and the shishamo. Both are non-negotiable and always hit. We still like to switch it up sometimes, and this visit we tried a few different dishes: * Kataifi-Wrapped prawn tempura: crunchy, and the wasabi mayo was my favorite part. * Nagasaki Champon with ramen: cozy and comforting. * Grilled Squid with butter: simple and done right * Beef Brisket Yaki Soba: savory and satisfying, with bonito flakes doing their little dance on top. * Karaage: coming from someone who doesn't love greasy food, this one was not greasy at all and still juicy inside. Lowkey missing their grilled beef intestine though Great highball selection as well. We got the peach highball for the one who likes sweet, and the yuzu highball for the one who likes sour. I went with the Snow beer Sapporo, topped with shaved frozen beer. Such a nice way to keep the beer cold without diluting it. Service here has always been amazing, whether they're busy or not, and that's a big reason why I keep coming back. read more

Wow. I love this spot. Can't believe I waited so long!!! Reservations are made online. They open at 5:30-2-45 daily. We went here to try the highballs since there is not a lot of places that have it. So we were excited about that. But man! The food is so good! It was so hard to choose a dish between 4 people. We chose 3 and we left satisfied. We will definitely come back to try more dishes. I would suggest come early. Parking is hard there being on Yonge Street. read more

* Porting this review over from my 'Anzenchitai Izakaya' review (which I've told Yelp to merge to this business listing) * My gf took me here for my bday back in January and then we returned for valentine's day. Completely nonchalant storefront and signage. No parking (we had to go park at Galleria across the street and walk over). Lived in Richmond Hill for the longest time and never knew about this place LOL. I loved the decor and seating arrangements the minute we walked in. It's not a big izakaya but every table is like its own private booth because they've sectioned off the tables. You get to have your own privacy and it feels cozy which is cool. The highballs are fantastic at this place. They stuck out right away when we sat down and looked at the specials plastering the walls of the booth. My gf got an earl grey highball while I got a yuzu highball (both at Aly's recommendation). They're also $13 each which is pretty solid value I think. The ice blocks were also chipped properly (good bartender). Wasn't clear ice but that's fine. I believe I also saw some VERY good value specials going on for happy hour! We collectively figured that we'd order a bunch of dishes since a lot of izakayas out there basically serve these tiny ass portions (tapas/small plate). Imagine our immense (and pleasurable) surprise when the dishes arrived hot and with nice, generous portions. And to boot, the food was absolutely delicious. The grilled beef tongue was sooo juicy. The butter sauce for the grilled squid was a perfect compliment. The creamy udon had a crazy amount of umami. My gf can't eat spicy at all and Aly said the chef could accommodate! The udon bowl was also pretty deep. Tori nanban was like a half chicken portion which was awesome. We were absolutely STUFFED after dinner (felt like I was gonna explode lmaoooo) and we had some leftovers to take home. I would be remiss if I didn't mention Aly was awesome. Service was very prompt and she was extremely helpful with the menu. I'm not sure if she was the one handling their IG dm's but my gf and I were SUPER late for our 7 pm res time due to unforeseen circumstances and we messaged them to give our res away but they were so kind to let us keep our res! A+ service. I also don't usually say prices are fantastic in this economy but for how many mediocre izakayas there are these days, this one really rises to the top in terms of pricing as well. Delicious food w/ generous portions, nice strong highballs, prompt service (thank you Aly) and great prices. I've thought about gatekeeping this place as I feel like not many ppl know about it at all due to its location (especially when I talk to friends) but it's probably my fave izakaya now. Edit: Came back already and tried the umeshu plum and peach tree highballs (which were also fantastic). I'm crossing my fingers that they don't get greedy and drop standards. read more

Their beer happy hour worth the money! $5 for a pint! Food came at a decent pace. Out of the dishes we ordered, my favourite would be: grill pork belly, taro chips, yaki soba, and the fried shrimp prawn. If you want some chewy squid, then you could order the squid. The sauce tasted good but I could imagine cooking it to its perfection is hard, especially when the izakaya was actually pretty full due to the beer happy hour! The other issue would be finding a parking space. Otherwise, I would love to come back again. read more

You'll definitely be getting the experience in terms of flavour. most of the items we ordered were quite nice. maybe 1-2 items didn't taste how we expected but I feel like that's standard with most places. The employees are quite nice but expect to stay seated for hours if you don't have the courage to ask for something or the bill. we were seated for an additional 30 minutes after our table was cleared because we didn't ask for the bill and so no one showed up. also, make reservations otherwise you won't get seated especially during the dinner rush the place is semi spacious. read more

This IZAKAYA joint was great! The atmosphere was really cool and reminded me of IZAKAYA places in Japan. The staff were awesome, they recommended some dishes and what type of noodles would work best, but most importantly they warned us of the spicy levels for spicy beef tendon. The food was packed with flavour and the menu has a good variety of dishes to share or as entrees. I would recommend this place and we definitely plan on coming back to try more! read more

If you're looking for a warm bowl of flavorful broth and a hot sake to beat the cold Toronto winter, this is the perfect spot! Everything on the menu is quite delicious, so you can choose with confidence. My top picks are the hot sake, Nagasaki Champong with udon noodles, and the deep-fried shrimp. Don't forget to check out their happy hour beer deals--they're worth it! The convenience of having a parking lot in the back is also a big plus. The staff are welcoming, and the atmosphere feels just like a traditional Japanese izakaya, making it a great place to relax and enjoy. Highly recommend! read more

The izakaya vibe was evident when you stepped into the restaurant. We had a booth tucked away in the corner so it was a private space. We lucked out and got $5 happy hour beers, loads of spicy and sweet dishes and sat there for several hours catching up. I highly recommend the fried shrimp and nabe! Service was pretty good but sometimes it was hard to flag down a server since they did not have the buttons to call them. read more

We had an amazing time at Anji Izakaya. It surely does give me the vibe of Japan. We ordered some of the popular dishes like spicy beef tendon, brisket fried noodle, Nagasaki champong, chicken donburi and beef tartar. All of them were done super well, flavorful and delicious and easily shareable. My fav dish has to be the spicy beef tendon and it comes with a bowl of rice to mix in and pickled veg to enjoy on side. I'm so glad the server recommended us to decrease the spice level on it because he says he likes spicy and he found the tendon to be too spicy at regular level. So I'm glad we opted for less. I like that the champong dish I can choose to between udon or ramyun and fried noodle I can do udon or soba. For the champong, we actually had the original in Nagasaki. I wouldn't say it's the same taste but certainly delicious. 5-stars all around though the only catch is the wait. We came around 8pm on Saturday and had to wait 30-45mins for a seat! I see that they have Yelp waitlist set up so I definitely would join the Yelp waitlist instead walking in next time. read more

A taste of Japan in Thornhill. Really authentic Izakaya in terms of food and drinks. The highball is so similar to the ones I had in Tokyo last year. And the food is really tasty and perfectly cooked! Service is very attentive and polite! I would suggest making a reservation since there is not a lot of booths available. Definitely come back since we could not try everything on the menu! read more

Really delicious food. Especially the squid. Great sauce. The chicken is also a good choice! Seafood soup had a nice smokey flavour to it. Ordered 3 items: Grilled Squid So, let's talk squid. The Grilled Squid here is no joke! Perfectly cooked, not chewy, with this dipping sauce that's like a flavor explosion. Seriously, if you're into seafood, this dish is your jam. I couldn't get enough. Fried Chicken with Rice Their Fried Chicken is next level crispy goodness. The outside? Crunchy perfection. Inside? Juicy AF. And that seasoning? Chef's kiss! Dip it in the Japanese mayo they serve on the side, and you're in fried chicken heaven. Trust me, you won't be disappointed. Nippon Seafood Udon Soup Now, the Seafood Soup - oh my days! Packed with shrimp, mussels, and all the good stuff, it's like a warm hug in a bowl. The broth is like a party of flavors, and I slurped up every last drop. If you're into comfort food, this soup is where it's at. read more

Food: 4/5 Service: 4/5 Ambiance: 4/5 Had a karaoke session for a couple hours and decided to get something to eat and also wanted to get some alcohol, If anyone read my Mokutan review, this place was the one that my friend entered mistakenly. So this time, I decided it was time to actually give this place a try. The place had little individual booths which made it much more relaxing to chat and eat. I personally am not a fan of cramped spaces where I have to sit and eye what the next table is eating or listen to their conversations so this place was perfect. I had a gin tonic, while my friends had a suntory highball and beer. We didn't expect the food to have such a big portion! Living in Japan I've kind of expected smaller portions for cheaper prices, and then growing up in Toronto, I've learned that though small portions remain the same, the prices can jump up to catch you off-guard. This place had really good portions that were fair for what they charged. I think the egg omelette was good, the pork they used inside was a bit on the fatty side but mixed with the bean sprouts, was quite good. The only thing was it lacked a little flavour, which wasn't a huge deal because the other dishes made up for it. I don't eat intestines so I had the vegetables and glass noodles. The dish itself was nice and flavourful and from what I could tell they don't skimp on the ingredients. There were definitely a lot of intestines in the dish and my friends were very happy. The chicken and cheese we actually ended up ordering two because it was just so good! The cheese pull was unreal, I pulled so high that I hit my hand on the lamp above us at the table. It was definitely the most flavoured dish of the three and the chicken was so tender. They also gave us a side of peppered radish. I have to say that these definitely had a kick to them but they were quite good that we asked for more three times. Overall, a really good place to enjoy some food with friends and also a couple of drinks to help unwind your day or week. read more

Great authentic Izakaya food. Loved the decor and ambiance. The service was very good as well. Will definitely be back!!

Haven't been to Izakaya in the longest time! I don't go to Izakaya's often because I find that the menu is very limited. This spot in particular had many options to choose from. We picked this Tapa because we've never had Yuzu flavour before...but I'm sad to report that I did not taste the Yuzu flavour at all We also got French fries (random but I was craving it) and Nagasaki Jjampong Udon Noodle with Seafood which was delicious! Overall not bad but maybe I wouldn't get the Yooringi ! read more

Anji Izakaya - Yuzu Yooringi - Japanese Near Me - Thornhill, Ontario

Anzenchitai or Safety Zone is the name of a crazily popular Japanese Band back in the day. A band more from my parent's time, but I'm old enough to remember the name (exposing my age a little bit I guess). From a North York (or Toronto) context, it's a longstanding Korean operated Japanese style izakaya. The place is ironically named Safety Zone since you can't really see what's going on from the outside. Is it really safe? Or is it one of those places where you are swimming amongst the Korean mafia and never to be heard from again? Kidding aside, the inside really has a nice vibe. Despite arriving at 12am on a Monday (they do close at 2am), the place feels really lively. Kpop is blaring. You can also hear the sizzling pans from the kitchen and the loud chattering of other patrons. A small sake and grilled octopus in butter are what was on the card tonight (or shall we say this morning). I'm not a huge fan of the sake since it really didn't go down that smoothly, but it was $6, no complaints. Pickled cabbage and radish came with drink. As for the grilled octopus, for $19, you get three legs (tentacles). The waitress brought tongs and scissors (although the scissors didn't feel nearly sharp enough) upon the dish arriving at the table. The octopus had some char on it, but I think it's lacking a bit of that necessary smokey taste. I do think that it would help if they squeezed a bit more lemon on the octopus. I tried to eat it on its own and it just doesn't have the fresh seafood taste. Definitely the frozen variety. But the drizzle of sauce on the plate as well as the butter sauce complimented the octopus well. It's a sweet and sour, creamy kind of sauce. I wouldn't say the food is excellent here, but it's a decent place to hang out with friends late at night (assuming you are young enough to still have friends who will hang out with you at this time of the day/night). And yes, I made it out of the Safety Zone in one piece. read more

They reopened as 'Safety Zone' but it doesn't seem as if the menu is that different. The food here is decent but nothing special. The tuna sashimi was served frozen but after I asked the waitress its supposed to be served that way which was a little odd for me.

Pretty good Izakaya that's not overcrowded with people and easy for reservation.

Tried this place for the first time while looking for a late night spot on a Monday night. We arrived at 12am and the service and vibes were great! Food was excellent. Definitely recommend all of their raw/cold dishes. I loved the beef tartar and tataki. The cheesy chicken was also very good, but would probably pass on the beef yaki noodles next time as they tasted a little burnt and flavourless. Other than that, i loved everything. All in all would recommend! It is a great late night spot...I'll be back for sure! read more

*I think they might have changed the name of the restaurant to SAFETY ZONE now* This is an Izakaya in the Yonge/Steeles area that is definitely underrated! Their menu is small, but it is absolutely worth trying. I got a total of 4 dishes and every one was delicious. I'm very happy that I tried this place and will definitely be coming back. It's a little difficult to order since the staff members seem to be fluent in Korean only, but they were patient in taking my order and I was able to order in English with some patience. I definitely recommend this place instead of the more popular Izakaya's in the area. I got 20% off when paying cash, but I'm not sure if that's only a COVID discount. Please support this small business! The restaurant is facing Yonge Street, but there is free parking at the back of the restaurant. read more

It's 1:30 AM and you've just been drinking for 4 hours at a wedding reception and you're looking for something to eat in Markham = How I came to discover Anzenchitai Izakaya Service: They are open until 3 AM in the morning every day which is very Vegas/hometown like which I love. The Japanese servers were assigned to us were both very friendly and gave us a heads up for last call on the food. The kitchen got our dishes to us quickly and we were very appreciative of that Food: We were glad to have some high quality dishes so late into the evening. The beef brisket Yaki Udon was on point as both the noodles and beef were very tasty. The Rice Cake Skewers get you 4 very big skewers. The Fried Squid legs was fried well with the right amount of oil. The deep fried chicken thigh with cabbage and tangy sauce came with a piled with sliced cabbage which complimented the taste. All dishes came out in portions much bigger than we anticipated which was a pleasant surprise. Ambiance: Japanese pop music was pumping late at night but not too loud where it would disrupt conversation. Decorated with lots of Japanese lamps, wall decorations and the booths and tables were mainly composed of very dark wood. It definitely reminded me of the small Japanese restaurants I came across during my Tokyo visit. What a great yelp find so late in the night in Markham. If I lived in the area, I would love to come back and try more of their dishes. If you're looking for some late night Izakaya dishes in Markham, Anzenchitai Izakaya has you covered. read more

We came back again to try it out since it didn't work out last time. The waitress was friendly but the management is still poor. 2 waitress serving the whole restaurant. I had to go out to call them every time I need something. They don't have a bell in the seating. The food isn't the greatest either comparing to same type of restaurant around. Not coming back again for sure. read more

Anzenchitai Izakaya does looks a little sketchy from outside. I was not even sure it was open when we drove by as all the windows were covered up by heavy shades. Tapas? Izakaya? My friend probably thought our late dinner would cost a fortune as a lot of small plates needed to make him satisfied. Spicy Seafood Noodle ($10) was surprisingly good. The heat came from Gochujang Korean Chili Paste. I love the chewiness of the wheat noodle. What impressed us most was the abundant of seafood which was more than noodle! Fresh PEI mussels, Half Blue Crab, Squids, Shrimps! And at $10? (4 star) Grilled Skewers Chef Choice ($10) was really disappointing. Sadly all the 5 skewers were bad and lack the fresh off the grull taste (1 star). The beef and chicken were the worse as they tasted bland. Anzenchitai is a decent place for a late night snack. A place to have beers, sake and even some soju. And Spicy Seafood Noodle pleaae! read more

This place was bumpin' for a Tuesday night. The vibe is the perfect drinking setting; dark, loud, and private. Drink prices were dangerously cheap for an uptown bar ($16 for domestic pitchers *insert flying away bill emoji*) and their menu offered a variety of dishes to accompany your (binge) drinks. We ordered 4 menu items: the Pork Belly and Beansprout Dish, Beef Yaki Udon with Vegetables, and a Fried and Grilled versions of Chicken Cartilage (my partner loves the texture and crunch of this part of the chicken). Each dish was a heaping portion and was pretty gosh darn tasty. Service was speedy and efficient (and there was only one girl working the whole night!) and we were satisfied with the wait time for each dish. All in all, I'll definitely be back... Now only if I knew how to say the name of this place... read more

I liked the overall environment of this restaurant and the vibes it gave off - there was great music (mixture of top 40 hits, jpop, kpop lol), a casual atmosphere, and friendly servers. However, the food was either mediocre (beef yaki udon) or just plain awful (seared tuna sashimi). The sashimi in particular was pretty much frozen and didn't really taste like anything... Not worth the price for sure! I wouldn't be in a hurry to come back to this place, but also wouldn't write it off completely just yet. Perhaps I just need to order differently next time. read more

3.5 stars. I've lived in the area my whole life and never knew this place existed! Pretty hidden, dark ambient (standard Izakaya), enjoy the music (mix of pop of English/Korean/Japanese), booth seating, pretty chill, love the vibes here!! Have parking lot in the back behind the restaurant and there's an entrance there too. Ordered the Beef sashimi (recommend), Beef tartar (recommend), large bowl of udon soup (meh but good filler food), spicy cheese chicken, stack of takoyaki (recommend), octopus (meh), wasabi beans (recommend), bowl of fish balls (pls don't get this), chicken wings (also regretted). Definitely recommend coming here with at least 4 people and ordering a bunch of dishes. They're pretty decent sized, or else you won't be able to try a buncha stuff. Seems pretty fresh and quality materials used, tasty, consistent each time I've been. Bring your ID if anyone at your table plans to get alcohol at all! Can't read the bill since it's Korean...

Come here for decently priced drinks. They have $20 pitchers of Sapporo and BOGO half price house sake ($9.50 + $4.75 for two large warm sake). Not bad! We felt like their food was okay. Out of all of the things we ordered (various fried things, donburi, okomoniyaki, fried noodles, etc..), I would only recommend the Shimesaba (mackerel) and the spicy cheese chicken. Everything else was okay, but those two are the stand-outs. Shimesaba tasted fresh, really interesting flavour, okay-sized portion, it was tangy, especially with the lemon, and really complemented the alcohol and cut through all of the fat of all of the fried things we ordered. Yum! The Spicy Cheese Chicken definitely has a kick to it. It has soo much flavour, we really enjoyed the crunch that the crackers that came with it provided. We loved that the cheese was so stringy--- That cheese pull mmm! Overall, I would only really recommend those two dishes out of all of the ones we tried. I feel like the other izakayas in the area have better food, but the alcohol here is pretty decently priced! BTW: There aren't too many parking spaces behind the restaurant, so some of my friends had to park in the Galleria lot across the street. I think there might also be street parking in the residential area, but we didn't look. read more

Growing up in Japan im very familiar with Izakaya. living in Orlando Florida now, theres not many izakaya. The few restaurants that purport to be an Izakaya fall short. This is not the case.

This is an excellent blending of atmosphere and good food. read more

I came here on a Saturday night at around 8PM, with quite a large group of 8 people. We were seated quickly in two private booths beside each other. For a Saturday night and large group I was surprised we didn't have to wait at all for a table, perhaps this is a hidden gem. We ordered the spicy cheese chicken, beef tartare, stir fried udon, spicy udon soup, kimchi stew, frozen tuna sashimi, mackerel sashimi, chicken skewers, fried chicken, fried squid, and beef tataki. I know we basically ordered the whole menu.. and we actually ordered two of the stir fried udon, tuna sashimi, and chicken skewers. Where do I even begin.. I'll start with things I enjoyed. The stir fried udon was really good, it tasted kind of sweet. Almost like chinese stir fried beef rice noodles but sweet. The spicy cheese chicken even though it told like a million years to come out the bread nacho thing that came with it was gooooooood. However it wasn't like the korean sweet and spicy favour it was just spicy. The mackerel sashimi was soooooo good. I usually hate mackerel because of its extremely fishy smell and flavour. However their mackerel was not fishy at all! The chicken skewers, fried chicken and fried squid were all okay nothing special just your average izakaya dishes. Now moving on to things I could not enjoy because they were too damn spicy! LOL I mean I'm not a baby when it comes to spicy food but DAYUM koreans food always seems to be too spicy for me. The soup udon, although may not look spicy it packs a punch, I could barely eat one noodle it was too spicy. The kimchi stew was less spicy than the udon but has a kick. Lastly the tuna, the tuna was not spicy. But I didn't like the fact it was frozen, kinda looked like watermelon... Overall it was really good! Even though we ordered a lot it ended up being 33 dollars per person, which is not tooo too bad however if you're the type to eat a lot and not be full you might not be full by the end of it. I know my boyfriend said he was still hungry after. :/ read more

This place is kind of hidden. This may explain why it wasn't busy for a 7:30 pm reservation on a Thursday. The food came quickly - could possibly be because it was empty. I like the environment - it is very similar to Hashi. The portions are surprisingly quite large. I was expecting tapa size dishes. We ordered the following dishes: Deep fried chicken cartilage - This dish was good but if you're not a garlic fan, do not get this, It is 50% cloves of garlic and 50% chicken cartilage. Beef brisket yaki udon - This was my least favourite dish - it was nothing special at all. I wouldn't recommend trying this dish. It was a basic stir fry with udon, cabbage and beef. The beef was very tough. Seared beef sashimi with ponzu sauce - this was good. The beef was fresh. Cheese & spicy stir fried chicken - if you love cheese, this is definitely the dish for you! This was actually very spicy but tastety. It comes on a sizzling pan and some chips to eat with. read more

A friend brought me here for a late dinner, a spot tucked away in a dark plaza with a bumpy parking at the back. I thought he was taking me to a underground casino of some sort but turns out it was this neat little place with fabulous food! The interior has a really good vibe to it with high ceilings. We ordered the beef sashimi, spicy seafood udon, some dish with chicken and cheese and some dish that was "Japanese style pancake"? In any case, every dish was delicious!
