Came here for dinner with friends and family. I like that there's an option for Ala carte or AYCE. Their bento box prices are pretty decent pricing for the amount you get which is great. People are nice as well.

Grabbed some lunch at East Izakaya! We were seated right away although it was quite busy. We were given the menu which they have AYCE (ipad for ordering) and a là carte options. They have a lot of variety on their menu with great options. The service was great and food came out in a timely manner - was also very nicely presented. The only thing is that the food was not the best. It looks very yummy and was okay - I think it was the fish quality that led me to the three stars. It just wasn't as great to what I'm used to. Additionally, I found that the nigiri had a lot of rice w/ a thin slice of fish. However, I still had a good experience as the service and atmosphere were great!

The dining experience at East Izakaya was fun and delicious. It should be guaranteed happiness with the AYCE offer. There must be something for everyone. I thought their sushi rice was really tasty, and the salmon and beef dishes were great. We didn't actually experience real tuna, but it wasn't a big deal. I just know better what not to order the next time. The people who took care of us were also super pleasant and helpful. Although we had to wait for our missing orders longer than expected, we still had a splendid time. So, of course, no complaints. Making a reservation for Saturday evening was a good idea. The restaurant was full of customers, and lots of people were in line to get in.

I've always been a huge fan and lover of wind sushi so when I found out east izakaya is in the same group I had to check it out! Place is huuuuge. Lots of tables and seating but would recommend to make a reservation! Came here with a group and service was great! Same concept where you order off an iPad and the stuff comes pretty quickly. I came for dinner on a weekend and it was $42 pp. Coolest part? They have robot cats that deliver your food to you!! I mean how cute?! And after you take your stuff you tap the device letting the robot know you're down. Food is all good here but highly recommend getting the sashimi, tataki, handrolls, torched rolls, and the Korean short ribs. And save yourself for dessert because they have crème brûlée and I always eat at least 2! Honestly love this place so much for the variety of food because they have Thai, Japanese, and Korean!

East Izakaya serves up a delicious assortment of fresh, traditional Japanese cuisine. It is the perfect spot for satisfying sushi cravings, with many different rolls, nigiri, sashimi, and hand rolls to try. Not just the sushi is amazing, they also serve up many tasty bites for non-seafood eaters. The meats, noodles, appetizers, and desserts are all high-quality and delicious. Besides the food, the service and atmosphere is beyond great. I also must mention that the washrooms here are the best I have ever been to. Overall, East Izakaya serves up great sushi, meats, and desserts, and is the perfect spot for a lunch with friends, a date night, or any other occasion.

My husband and I were looking for somewhere new to go for our anniversary and hadn't been to Canada at all since February 2020. We found this place on Google I believe, and everything looked good so we made a reservation online. The restaurant itself is small but cozy. I liked the exposed brick walls. You order on an iPad and then the server officially puts the order in. I'm not sure why they have to approve it as they charge you for extras if you waste any food for the all you can eat. We each ordered 2 drinks during the course of the meal and they were each a little sweet for our taste. I was expecting a bigger drink menu for the size of the food menu. We started with a dozen oysters (not included in all you can eat) and then ordered several times. We tried to stick to more unique rolls that we don't normally get. Our favorite was the prosciutto and cheese roll, and the fruit rolls. I wanted to order ramen as that was an option, but didn't want to end up too full. They also had Americanized Chinese food options like general tso chicken etc. I thought the menu had a ton of variety but we were missing tuna rolls. We asked if they had it and they did not. The food all came out very quickly, with the exception of one shrimp item I ordered and forgot about that came with the dessert but that was fine. I was excited to see creme brulee on the menu as that's what I like to order for dessert when I go out to eat. We would definitely return, we thought that the value for the all you can eat was very good, especially with the exchange rate. The total after conversion was about $130 American with tip for two all you can eat dinners, four drinks and a dozen oysters!

East is a crazy experience. There is a tablet to order on, a server, and a robot food runner. It is all you can eat so we ate a lot. Highlight was the beef tartare with yuzu, everything else was good too just not as memorable. Red bean ice cream tasted like strawberry. Szechuan tofu was a miss. A few things were delivered wrong but who cares, it's good.

There's so many different options from sushi, to curry, to wok cooking, noodles, rice, soups, salads, desserts and so much more! They also are always changing the menu and adding various specials frequently. Even those who don't like fish or those who have other dietary restrictions will find plenty to enjoy here. All the food is prepared with care and tastes great. Standouts for my group were the beef and mushroom bowl, sashimi, peanut curry and calamari. The creme brûlée was also really good for dessert. Service was slower compared to other locations but the staff was all very kind. It's a great way to try a lot of different types of Thai and Japanese dishes in a comforting location.
