We were greeted at the door right away :) Our server was friendly and courteous; he looked European, which always throws me off at a Japanese restaurant lol. The ambiance was cozy and the paper umbrellas hung on the ceiling was a beautiful touch! We shared a few items, and the food portions were quite good: Curry Udon with Shrimp (you can get Chicken or Tofu as well) - I really enjoyed the curry, not too spicy but very flavouful. The shrimp was actually crispy battered shrimps, and they were good! Champon Noodles - I always thought this dish was actually Korean, but I guess not lol. It is a seafood mix with noodles in a buttery, creamy broth. Initially, it did not look to appetizing but it was quite tasty. Fruit Sake Flight - For 22$, we opted in for this sake flight, comes in 4 mini sake cups. We tried the Lavender Ume, Sanzen Yuzu, Nashi Pear and Momo Peach. I personally really liked the pear and the yuzu one :)

I often pop in for their pretty good baked goods, so I decided to try dinner one night and ordered The Cluny French Onion Soup, Vol-au-Vent, and 6oz tenderloin. The food was overall decent--not too crazy but good, with comforting soup, flaky pastry in the Vol-au-Vent, and a tender steak that hit the spot without being exceptional. The restaurant was pretty dead at about 10% capacity, which made the rushed, inattentive service stand out even more--for a slow night, I expected better attention that would elevate the vibe. It really tarnished the experience and didn't leave me wanting more. Stick to the boulangerie side; dinner is okay for a casual bite but lacks the polish to stand out.

We ordered the oden set with yogurt soju, Taiwanese popcorn chicken, and the salmon fried udon with uni sauce. Everything was super comforting and flavorful, especially the oden on a cold night. What really made it stand out was the bingo game. It got the whole bar involved and made the night feel more interactive and social. We ended up chatting with a group nearby and even taught them a Malaysian yam seng cheers, which turned into a really fun moment. Great spot for a lively night out with good food and energy. Would come back.

This must be the place!…read more Our first trip to Toronto and boy did we have fun. From delicious food to sipping wine, and everything in between, Toronto was a city to explore. Ladybug Wine Bar is a cute but also sophisticated wine bar located on King Street, steps away from shopping and restaurants. We stopped in here on a snowy Sunday before our flight home. They also serve Sunday Brunch. We grabbed a few open seats at the comfy bar. They do not offer wine flights, which made this experience pretty darn expensive but SOOOO worth it. We had such a fun time and the people working were so nice, we honeslty did not want to leave. They were willing to help with our selections. We actually ordered all their Reds by the glass. I know, but there were only about 6 and we had to try them all. I like to say "go big or go home" LOL! We loved almost all except for maybe a few. We ended up also ordering a charcuterie while we sip. And of course I brought a bottle home with me. If you are ever in Toronto, please check out Ladybug wine bar, it is fantastic, you won't want to leave. Cheers!

A Hidden Gem for Brunch!!…read more I came here with 3 of my girlies that love brunch. Everything we ordered was fresh, light, and absolutely delicious. We started with some drinks which were super affordable compared to other brunch places. The espresso martinis weren't too sweet and had the perfect balance. As for the dishes the standout for me was the smoked salmon toast. The combination of the eggs, fresh dill, and sliced salmon on top of toast was so yummy. Service was nice and the place was cozy/bright. Highly recommend this spot for a girls' brunch or casual date.

I got the the Flamingo Room which was a cocktail mixed with empress gin, strawberry, kiwi, sumac, lemon, yuzu foam, saline, and rose. It has fruity, complex and sour notes to it. Love anything with a foam top so this was a hit for me. I got 2 rounds of this during the night since it was so delicious. Would be back for more cocktails and maybe light bites as the interior was so memorable and nice!

He was very hesitant to serve me, looks me up and down... He made me pay before even receiving my drink. I asked for a Jameson neat.... He serves it to me in a shot glass. If you are a bartender that's something you should be knowledgeable about. This place is not welcoming at all.. and definitely wouldn't recommend l, consider or even try to come back. Especially when the bartender has hygiene issues. Also he tells everyone that comes in that he can make them whatever they like; which is not possible at all due to limited experience in bartending and limited supplies. In my past, I have experience in bartending/service industry. As I know what they go through with people I'm a really great tipper. But for something like this, just broke my heart. It's really not welcoming and such disappointment in today's society when it's your first time in Toronto.
