Kingyo Izakaya - Toronto

The food at this restaurant consistently impresses, with an exceptional dining experience guaranteed. The atmosphere is also fantastic. The service is friendly and efficient, although it can be a bit inconsistent when the restaurant is very busy. However, the wait is always worth it and, honestly, it rarely happens.

Love this place! I'd say arguably the best true Japanese style izakaya in Toronto, with great attention to quality of food. Even the desserts are excllent, along with the rest of the menu and daily specials.

Very friendly staff who know the menu well. Good sake collection and creative ways of serving traditional izakaya food. Even the restroom has unique Japanese music. Food quality is excellent!

My Wife and I recently decided to have our Wedding reception dinner at Kingyo and let me say that it was the best choice we've ever made each and every single one of our friends said they absolutely loved the food, service, and friendly atmosphere. We've been coming to Kingyo for a while and we've always enjoyed the warmth and friendliness by all the staff, especially Hitomi who always make us feel like we're almost family. The food is amazing, absolutely deliciously amazing. Chef Koji is a culinary master and the flavours and combinations speak for themselves everyone should visit often because their seasonal menu is always changing it's soooooooooooooo good we had the softshell crab salad last night (as well as a bunch of other tasty treats) and it was super delicious!!! Get the rib though, always get the rib! haha. Thanks for always taking great care of us!!! We'll be back soon! Sincerely, Kal and Winnie ;D

Went to this restaurant for the first time last night for my birthday and the food was absolutely amazing. Service was great, although we did have to flag them down to pay the bill, but otherwise a stellar experience. 10/10 would eat again.
