    Beef Sukiyaki Don (rice)
    Christine L.

    This used to be the North Japanese Noodle Bar and it transformed to a Japanese Izakaya pub specializing Kansai style street food. Cripsy chicken skin shrimp roll was slightly oily from the skin but it was cripsy and delicious with the chicken skin wrapped around the fresh shrimp. Perilla leaf adds a nice refreshing flavour to the overall taste to reduce the heaviness from chicken skin. No other place has this item so I recommend trying this dish. Beef sukiyaki don was normal. Beef was nice and fatty and the rice was mixed with onions cooked in sweet soy sauce. If the rice came out more hot then it would be perfect. Mentaiko chicken skewer was juicy and tender. The creamy mentaiko sauce was torched and the sauce is main flavour of the dish. Good flavouring and the chicken are just gently marinate with pepper. This is a seasonal limited item. Sous Vide chicken Breast was zesty and refreshing. It has onions at the bottom marinated in ponzu sauce which adds a nice crunchy texture and tangyness. Yuzu citrus soda is salty and citrusy. The rose lychee frizz is light and full floral flavours. Both mocktail drinks were decent. I would come back to try other Kansai snacks whenever I miss Japan.

    October 8, 2025 - I got the shrimp tempura udon and my girlfriend got the vege tempura udon. Based off the menu, we were both expecting the vege and shrimp to be in the udon itself, but that's ok. The tempura was good. The sauce for the tempura was slightly different than normal tempura sauce. I think it had some garnish in it, but it was still good. The udon was good too, however, I felt the soup was a bit salty for my liking.

    Walked in to Kuroki Izakaya for dinner during the weekend and was seated right away at the bar. Food came out pretty fast, one after another, and we shared the following: * Takoyaki - it was very nicely done, light crispy and creamy on the inside * Sous vide chicken breast - such an interesting dish. It was a tad spicy for me, but all the ingredients really go well with each other * Skewers - perfectly grilled. The grilled zucchini was my favw; it was thiccc and juicy! * Grilled mackerel - also grilled to perfection, not fishy, love the sauce that goes with it * Beef Udon - comes out piping hot. The soup base was delicious, though the sliced beef were quite burnt imo All in all, it was a cozy little shop at Langham Square Plaza. Service was friendly and attentive. I would visit again to try more items! The dons look pretty good too, and I noticed a lot ppl order dons for takeout as well.

    We tried a sushi place in Toronto and it was very good. The fish was fresh, the flavors were well balanced, and everything tasted clean and high quality. The service was super friendly. She took the time to briefly explain each page of the menu and shared her recommendations. Definitely worth a visit if you're in the Richmond Hill area.

    Came here with some friends for the omakase special meal…read more Such a lovely overall standard omakase experience and meal. The highlight for me was probably the set of four starter appetizers, they were flavourful, delicately prepared and perfect way to start the meal. I liked the slightly pickled dish with cucumbers the best. We also had sushi prepared with fresh seafood. The rice was probably my favorite compared to other places I've been. It was perfectly seasoned rice, warm and cooked to have just the right texture, not overcooked and not undercooked. The rice held up well when picked up by hand and complemented the flavours of the fish. Finished the meal with a matcha flavored pudding flan type dessert which had deep matcha flavours. If you're a fan of matcha, you'd probably enjoy it too. All in all, the meal was enjoyable, the torched tuna sushi was probably my favorite sushi of the set and my least favorite was the egg/eel, I was expecting a sweet egg at the end so it unexpected.

A bit low on energy compared to other omakase's I've been to but maybe that's his style. Some of the bites weren't as delicious as I wanted them to be. But that's only my opinion. Beautiful space!

All of their meats were fresh, well tempered (not stale/straight out of the freezer). Condiment bar was self serve and had a wide selection to customize your sauce. Their veggies were also very fresh & the appetizers such as wings & the squid ink dumpling were AMAZING. Soft drinks are also included in the Premium AYCE price at $45/pp after tax. All of their waitstaff we interacted with were kind, patient, attentive, and helpful. Their seating layout is also notable-- each individual table was enclosed, it gave a more cozy/private feel rather than loud & overstimulating despite dining during peak hour. If I could critique even just one thing, it'd be the dessert options, almond pudding and ice jelly were a bit disappointing to end the meal with cuz they weren't great in our opinion, but not problematic enough for me to dock a star. Next time I'm craving hotpot, Daimaru will absolutely be at the top of my choice list moving forward!

    Back again and incredible again…read more Small tip. You don't need to order on only one phone. As long as you scan the bar code, you can order from any phone. Enter either you own info if paying separately or the same info if one person pays all of it. Lots of new dishes as well as old favourites: Chochin: Tried it. Not a fan. Tastes exactly the way I thought it would. Which is internal organ like but in an unpleasant creamy way. Duck liver raspberry toast: Nice but could be bigger. The raspberry brought an expected nice sweetness to the nice liver taste. A little more raspberry would be nice. Tuskune and egg yolk dip: It's ok but not that big a deal. Cheese momo: Fantastic. The swiss cheese is an excellent pairing to the chicken. Skin-Kawa - Delciious. Crispy. Must have, Hiza (knee cartidlidge): nice and crunchy Beef short rubs boneless: Was enticed due to the tendon part. It was nice but not incredible. Beef tenderloin + Chimichurri: Wife's favourite. We always order several of these. P-toro: Another must repeat. Great pork belly taste. Cherry tomato bacon maki: New and delightful. Bacon wrapped cherry tomatoes provide a delightful burst of tomatoey sweetness wrapped with the unctuousness of bacon. Lamb rib chop: Excellent and tasty. Once again everything was cooked perfectly and the amazing binchotan smoke made everything delicious. Fun fact, they put charcoal in the free water carafes as well.

Sumoki Yakitori offers tasty Japanese-style skewers and small plates. The grilled items are cooked just right--smoky, juicy, and full of flavour. There's a good variety to choose from; chicken, beef and vegetables. We ordered "Age Mochi", "Chicken Oyster", "Momo", "Negima", "Tsukune + Egg Yolk Dip", "Cheese Momo", Hiza (Knee Cartilage)", Beef Tongue", "Beef Tenderloin + Chimichurri", "Garlic Sprout Maki", "Mentaiko Carbonara Udon", "Yaki-Onigiri (2 pcs)", and "Breast w/ Wasabi". Every skewer was fresh and tasty. My favourite was Beef Tenderloin with Chimichurri. We paired our meal with beautiful drinks that hit the spot: "Yamayuzu Matcha" and "Fairy Yuzu". To finish on a sweet note, we ordered "Grilled Mochi (Sweet)" and "Dango", which we enjoyed.

    We came here because of the reviews on Google, and like a lot of people have mentioned, parking is…read morefairly difficult. There are only about 4 to 5 spots in the front, and while there are some smaller plaza parking lots nearby and another parking lot across the street, most of the spots are marked for whatever store they're in front of, so park at your own risk. Upon entering, there aren't that many tables either. There isn't a lot of room for bigger groups but they can merge some of the tables together. The biggest issue for us was definitely how long and uneven the wait for the food was. We ordered at 12:15 PM and got our salads about 10 minutes later, but after that, the food came out pretty sporadically. The first actual dish didn't come until 12:44 PM, which was the tempura from the two-person set. Parts of the other meals and the rest of the two-person set slowly came out between 12:46 and 12:49 PM. The 30-piece sashimi and sushi set didn't arrive until 1:04 PM, almost 50 minutes after we ordered, and the actual salmon teriyaki which was just a small salad, salmon teriyaki and steamed rice from the bento was the last thing to come out at 1:09 PM, about 54 minutes after ordering. By that point, we had already finished the entire two-person set and another person had finished their udon and sushi combo. It's just not ideal when you're eating with a group and some people haven't even gotten the main part of their meal while everyone else is already finished. It also didn't seem like it was only our table. The table in front of us had a pasta order that seemed to have been missed. We heard the server say it was about to be ready, and then heard someone from the kitchen respond with something along the lines of, "There's another order for it?" So I do think the timing and communication between the kitchen and servers is something they need to improve on. We were served our salads first, but didn't get our miso soups until we asked for them. They were planning to serve them with the meals, but since we had already been waiting so long, we ended up just asking if we could have them first. For food, I got the two-person lunch set for $52, which came with a large veggie udon, 9 pieces of sashimi, 6 pieces of sushi, an additional 6 pieces of a classic roll, and tempura. We chose the spicy scallop maki for our roll. The sushi and sashimi were good, and the tempura was good as well. The veggie udon was a little disappointing though. It had one bok choy, a few pieces of mushroom, and then was mostly just strands of onion. The spicy scallop maki was also just okay since I couldn't really taste much scallop. Price-wise, I do think it's a little on the higher side for what you get. The quality was good overall, but for the price I would've liked a little more, especially considering the wait. Between how difficult parking is and how long and unevenly the food came out, I'm not really in any hurry to return. I think the wait bothered me more because we were eating as a group, and by the time two people finally got their food, the rest of us were completely finished. If they can improve the timing of getting everyone's meals out somewhat together, it would make the experience a lot better. 5% off with cash.
