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.

Cocktails were fine, but not particularly memorable. Creativity & Presentation -- 7/10 Straightforward and competent. Nothing that surprised, but nothing out of place. Hospitality -- 8/10 Friendly, attentive, and genuinely engaging staff. Ambiance -- 7/10 A cozy Asian-themed bar. Tables are quite close together, which adds energy but limits privacy. Value for Experience -- 9/10 Strong value for the price. Easy to see this being a regular spot for many.

It's located steps away from Yonge and Finch. Easily accessible for people taking the public transit. There are also a few paid parking lots/ garage nearby. We initially had a female server who was a little aggressive. She had us pay for the bill during the middle of my meal because her shift was ending. The server who took over was a lot friendlier, I hope he got part of the tips! Pro: They offer shisha service in their patio seating area.

There's a light to show if you're open to other people joining you, which is interesting. This place is highly instagrammable.

Zui Bar is right around the corner from us, but we realized we'd never been! Time to explore…read more We entered and were greeted and seated promptly by a cheery staff member. The music was not loud, which made it easy for us to hold a conversation. The neon decor was stylish and gave off cyberpunk vibes. Service wasn't the most attentive, but it was efficient and alright for the price point. They have a scannable QR code at the table, so that's how you order. They offer a happy hour combo from 4-7pm, where you get 1 cold dish, 3 skewers, 1 main, and 1 cocktail for $25! I'd say it's a pretty good deal. The main fried rice had a lot of wok hei and the portion was quite good. We added a beer to this and the two of us were fairly full. Great option for a light meal with some drinks!

In the summer, I'm here for late-night meals, and in the winter, I become an Uber Eats regular…read more 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.

Their beer happy hour worth the money! $5 for a pint!…read more 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.

Hubby & I were out shopping on Christmas Eve for some last minute gifts and groceries. We were…read moreclose to downtown Markham and the idea of Draco came up. Initially we were going for the idea of breakfast, but timing was a bit off from what we anticipated and it was a really nice lunch date instead. I love the Markham Marriott, the staff is always warm and welcoming. Draco has a very sleek, sophisticated and cozy atmosphere. We both ordered Bacon & Cheddar burgers. I opted for a Caesar salad as an appetizer and hubby ordered their Grilled Wagyu Flat Iron Steak. Let's start with the apps. The Caesar salad was SO good! I wish I had taken a pic, but admittedly, my phone was tucked away and I was caught up in the cozy seating, great food and Christmas vibes of the restaurant and lobby. Grilled Wagyu Flat Iron Steak: $33 - Buttercup Squash Puree and Truffle Oil - Everything you want Wagyu to be - tender, cooked to the perfect temp which left a nice warm red centre. This was melt in your mouth good! The burgers - these were perfection! Draco Bacon Cheddar Burger: $25 - Aged Cheddar with Crispy Bacon Strips; Crispy Onion Straws, Arugula and Garlic Aioli. This was a very well seasoned patty, so juicy and a substantial sized patty of fresh not frozen beef. The bun was lightly toasted, bacon crispy, easily taking this into my top 3 fav spots for burgers! Options for sides include fries, sweet potato fries, poutine, side Caesar or garden salad or truffle fries. We finished off our meal with 2 really good cappuccinos and just took our time before heading home. This was our first time back here in a few years. The food was exceptional as was the service and the warm staff. Draco is the perfect spot for an early morning breakfast, work or lunch date or a nice cozy dinner. They also have Christmas & New Years dinners and brunches. Relax in the restaurant with drinks or in the adjacent lounge, this is a great spot to unwind with some great food and drinks.

My bestie ordered one too, and it was the kind of drink where you barely taste the alcohol, just smooth and balanced. The crispy fries were a nice little palate cleanser in between all the good eating. The katsu was insanely good, super crispy on the outside with juicy meat inside. The rich brown curry sauce tied it all together for the perfect bite. The chicken was the real star. The garlic chips added a great crunch, the sticky sauce had tons of flavor, and somehow the chicken stayed crispy underneath it all. Juicy meat, crispy coating, and even some potato wedges tossed in the sauce made every bite addictive. This spot is perfect for date night or a girls' night out. The patio and indoor vibes are both great, the service is solid, and the food and drinks are even better. Only thing we didn't love while on the patio wre the pigeons landing on the roof. Dirt would roll off of it and onto our table, but thanks fully we had finished all I ur food and drinks

I was kind of offended right off the bat, after I sat down with my friends, the waitress brought me a fork and knife..meanwhile my friends had chopsticks..like, thanks but this white girl can use chopsticks TYVM. I'd be less offended if she brought me both a fork and chopsticks. Although the waitress was very polite, she barely spoke English, so I had to rely on my friends to communicate to her in Korean. She barely attended our table even though there was literally noone in the bar, we had to flag her down every time. Menu is has some strange concoctions, drinks are decently priced, the inside is dark, and was FREEZING. Seemed as if they were not completely ready to open as the path to the unisex bathroom had boxes and random items sitting along the bar.. Just another average Korean bar, not really original or impressive.

It's where people come for drinking and Korean food/ snacks with friends - with your usuals of raw beef, raw marinated seafood, tteokbokki, fried chicken, hot pot stews and more. Since we came after eating dinner already we only got the raw marinated shrimp to try and i quite enjoyed it! It's marinated really well and tasted really fresh and cold which I liked. On it's own it could taste raw and fishy. If you're not into that i think it'll pair well with some rice. Also got a chestnut makgeolli which was nice and different from what I usually have. Parking in the back is a bit tricky, as some spots you're not allowed to park in. Overall, a great experience and would come back after dinner again or to have some dinner here!

After we ordered, the sides came right away so we got to start snacking on them till the meat came. I found all cuts ordered to be fresh. I liked that this place was not AYCE but you could treat it as AYCE given the unlimited times you could order the sides. The table we were sitting was for four but I had a good time here and would def go back here or any of their other locations.

We got the beef marinated chuck flap tail and hanging tender. We weren't too hungry, so we found the portion size okay, but if you have a larger appetite, you might get better value at an ayce spot. We also liked that we were able to walk in and be seated right away on weekend night at dinner time. Overall, a good spot if you're craving kbbq, but not super hungry.
