When it was my turn to finally order, the guy pretty much told me 'it will be about 25-30min wait right now because we're busy'. Like what sir? This is supposed to be a fast food place, where the most it should take is 10 mins. The serving counter also has bowls of food ready, I was a bit disappointed and had to leave this review here. They need to either hire more staff or hire more staff. This is ridiculous as there are so many other places to eat at in the area. We will not be coming back, unless you have the time to wait - I suggest you to somewhere else!

The Japanese rice balls are all handmade to order and a good portions for a great price (all under $5 each). The filling was tasty, wth an emphasis on simple flavours. I'm not sure what traditional rice balls should taste like but I kind of hoped the rice would have been more seasoned. Regardless, I enjoyed every bite. Very local and clearly made with love. And honestly such a cute little shop offering many Different traditional Japanese treats. I'll have to come back and try the drinks and dessert next time (she sells some traditional mochi desserts)!

Throngs of hospital staff would hit up these food cubicles around lunch time in Alexandra Park…read more For me I can't resist getting a Japanese rice ball. And where can you find a light lunch in downtown Toronto for around $4 these days anyway? That's how I ended up at Omusubi Bar Suzume. With a lot of the onigiri fillings options, they seem to be the easy to make variety or are the typical ones that you can find elsewhere. The spicy miso pork however caught my eye since you won't be able to find it at a lot of places in Toronto. The rice ball was a fair size and the seaweed had a good aroma with a slight crunch. The filling was not crazy spicy, but for a Japanese owned place, it's spicer than I had expected. I was however disappointed that the spicy miso pork was of the ground pork variety. The texture just wasn't what I had in mind. Also, cuts of pork would also provide the rice ball with a little more fat which would enhance the flavour of the whole experience. Due to the spice and the balmy temperature, I couldn't resist getting their homemade yuzu jam soda. The soda really hit the spot on a hot day, but I can't really tell the difference between the homemade jam and the typical supermarket Korean variety. If you work in the area, Omusubi is not a bad option, but it's not a place I would go out of the way to come and try.

Oof. Wanted to like the matcha here SO bad because it came in this cute can top but sadly, the…read morematcha wasn't strong at all.

They had so many interesting items to choose from that aren't common under one roof where I'm from so I HAD to try something, lol. I decided on soft serve in a waffle cone, half matcha half pure milk and bro... Best soft serve I've genuinely ever had. Not only am I surprised with the quality but the matcha side had a very strong (in a good way) flavor and tasted like it was actually made with quality matcha. You could even see specks of matcha powder throughout the swirl. 10/10 soft serve. Very short but pleasant experience. Theres at least five other things I saw and want to try on my next visit! The seating capacity is tiny but it seems to be more of a takeout style spot anyway.

Came here for dinner with my cousin when we were in town and had an excellent time!…read more First off, like others have said, these bowls are HUGE. My cousin and I both got the braised beef bowl (I went with the regular noodles and she went with the flat) and though were were stuffed by the time we finished it barely looked like we made a dent! The broth was tasty and the braised beef was so flavorful and tender. Really enjoyed it. For appetizers my cousin got the kelp salad (not really my thing but she said she liked it!) and I got the stuffed garlic mushrooms (not really her thing but I really liked it!). Everything was a hit! What really knocked this up to 5 stars tho is the service. I didn't catch his name but one of the servers was SO friendly and warm. We had a great time chatting with him about our trip, Detroit basketball, and other places to go in the neighborhood. Really lovely folks here! And the space is comfortable and clean, too! Great ambiance and great food!

Tips: - This eatery is near the food court. Walk to the back…read moreof it and hang a right. Master Tako is in this aisle, on the right. - Debit and cash are acceptable payment methods. - The mentaiko takoyaki tends to sell out quickly. I recently visited Master Tako thanks to a Yelp elite experience. I've been back for more. I tend to steer away from coming to New Kennedy Square at the height of lunch or dinner. It's busy here and parking can be a challenge. I'm a newbie visiting the food court. I typically visit eateries that are separate from the indoor mall part itself. This eatery is next to the food court. If you walk all the way to the back of the food court and hang a right, Master Tako is in this aisle, on the right. I liked all the graphics that this place curated in its store, and on all its packaging and marketing materials. It had lots of octopuses everywhere, from plushies, to the main one hanging from the ceiling with the name of the business. The ordering process is straightforward. The menu is on the right, on the wall. You look at each poster representing a different takoyaki flavour with a picture. Under the poster is the price for six pieces. If you want that flavour, you tear a sheet off the pad that indicates the flavour. You then go to the counter and hand it over to a staff member. Staff are extremely nice. They are patient, too. I love the curry cheese lava takoyaki. This place has sodas. This place only accepts debit and cash. Thank goodness I came with cash and a debit card. It typically takes ten minutes to make the takoyaki. It may take longer if the demand is high. I took photos as I waited. There is seating along the left wall if you'd like to dine in. Otherwise, if it's busy, you always have the food court as a backup. The woman asked if I wanted my drink now or with my takoyaki. It was ready. I went ahead and grabbed it from her. It came with a paper straw. My white peach soda was excellent. It was fizzy and slightly sweet. The peach flavour was yummy. I'd get it again. The nice woman let me know that my order was ready. You get a receipt with your order number and it's also displayed above the only screen in the eatery. She asked me if I was going to dine in or do takeout. It was the latter for me, as I was working from home. I got to take a few photos of my takoyaki. She took it back and packed it into a cool octopus-themed box. I love Japanese curry. Pair that awesome sauce with cheese and takoyaki, and it's heavenly! All takoyaki balls were still warm. The curry sauce was so good that I didn't leave any of it behind. The cheese was generous and I had a cheese pull with every takoyaki ball. The octopus chunks were generous. The size of each ball was huge compared to what I have seen and had at other eateries. The takoyaki was delicious. I've now had the curry cheese lava takoyaki twice. I should branch out and try another flavour, but I crave the curry sauce with the cheese and takoyaki. The mentaiko takoyaki had already sold out by the time I got here. This store opens at noon most days, except for Mondays and Tuesdays. I got here an hour after its opening. If you want the mentaiko takoyaki, you need to be here at noon sharp. I'm glad that this eatery is close to my home. I'll be back for more! (106)

This place has the wow factor, the design in the inside is really well done excellent customer…read moreservice, I got the authentic Osaka style takoyaki and I got the second box for 25 percent off and I got the metaiko takoyaki, probably one of the best takoyaki I ever tasted in my life. It was piping hot so be careful when you eat it, the mentaiko was phenomenal with the sauce oh my goodness and they give a decent size of octopus most places cheap out and don't even put a octopus. The Osaka was amazing to with the Bonito flakes, melts in your mouth, I can definitely come back here. I'm coming back here for sure excellent

You can place your order on an iPad and have the option of ordering a 3-pack or 4-pack. Some were already made and on display at the window, while others required a few minutes for them to prepare and restock, so they were much fresher with warm rice (I preferred these). My favourite was the spicy salmon and crab salad. The bulgogi was just okay with not much flavour, and the kimchi rice is similar to something I cook regularly (it just looks cute due to the mini fried egg). The inari age or tofu skins add a sweet flavour to the sushi, and they are the perfect size for a quick on-the-go snack, but filling enough to be a meal in itself. They will cost you roughly $5 per Yubu, which is quite pricey. This booth is located in a little food court alongside a place selling Korean Food and bubble tea. There is little to no seating available so be prepared.

It was cooked to have a nice and crispy crust on the outside but super soft on the inside still! The top was smothered in sauce. The only thing interesting is that I don't think it comes with the seaweed flakes already. There was an extra charge for that for them to give you a little jar of it to put on yourself. Salad was interesting with the imitation crab meat and bonito flakes but tasted fresh!

It doesn't get quite the same hype as some trendier spots, but that's kind of part of the charm. We ordered the seafood yakisoba and the scallop okonomiyaki, and paid extra for the bonito flakes and dried seaweed. The food was decent (albeit maybe lacking in flavour depth), though I do feel like those toppings probably should have been included by default. The portions and prices were reasonable, and my friend, who's half Japanese, said the pancakes were very authentic, so I'll happily take her word for it. The space itself is fairly small but cozy, with cute red lanterns hanging around. It wasn't overly busy when we went, and we didn't have to wait for a table. That said, we were initially seated at a tiny, cramped table right next to another group, even though there were other open tables available. We asked to move and it wasn't an issue. After that, service was good. We didn't feel rushed at all and were able to take our time. Food came out quickly, which is always a plus. Overall, this is a great option if you're looking for affordable Japanese food that isn't just sushi or ramen. Low-key, comforting, and worth checking out if okonomiyaki is your thing.
