Reviews for Kintaro Izakaya in Toronto, ON
Good restaurant, would say the sushi is the best deal with pricing and food content. Ramen was not as good as expected (tasted... like stir fry veggie noodles in broth). Other dishes were delicious and filling. Would also like to note that some dishes aredefinitely pricey for only small portions. Read more
Overall, it was a great experience for celebrating a birthday. Booking a reservation was also an easy and straightforward... process online, though I wasn't the biggest fan of the 90-minute seating limit (while I understand well why it is inplace). The atmosphere and decor inside was very cozy and casual. The food was a bit expensive in comparison to portion size,but the overall quality of the dishes was satiating. I loved how spicy the takowasa was! Wasn't a fan of the amount of norigiven ? wish there was a few more pieces offered. I really enjoyed the scallop tataki roll and spider roll; the fish was veryfresh, and the ingredients were well balanced. Ordered a variety of skewers; loved all the ones with mochi (rice cakes), thepork belly(?), and the chicken skin. I thought the rest were a bit on the salty side, so it wasn't the biggest highlight forme. For dessert, we got this mochi with honey, and it was literally plain mochi with honey. I'd always wanted to try this, so Ienjoyed it. Wasn't a fan of the 90-minute seating limit as some of the food took quite a bit of time to be prepared and served,so there was a period of downtime and then rushing to finish once it arrived, as we wanted to respect the time limit.

Great place! Staff was happy and willing to help. Fun chic decorations throughout and the food was phenomenal. Very tasty and... presented so. Would highly recommend and will be returning. Read more
Reserved a table for 5 for a busy Saturday evening (check their website to reserve a table!) and we arrived early, but our table... wasn't ready yet so we had to wait until our time to be seated. The food options were very plentiful and delicious and wasserved in a decent amount of time (all of the other tables were full so we understand the wait). I ordered a Nagasaki Jampong(spicy seafood noodle soup) and the broth is magical, it was so good! My friends all really enjoyed their food too. Servers arepolite and helpful, atmosphere is busy but not too noisy, and my friends and I had a lovely time, so we'll definitely be back! Read more
I lovedddd it here! The restaurant was clean, cozy and the ambient was nice. The food was amazing, the service was quick and... professional. Would definitely come back again and try more of their drink and food menu! Read more
The vibe inside is absolutely amazing. It somehow has a homey vibe, but still feels like a busy bar. It wouldn?t be an... exaggeration to say the atmosphere here is my favourite in all of Toronto. The food on the other hand, soso yummy. Everythingtastes authentic? no cheap flavours whatsoever. Staff are very nice + orders come out quick. Wouldn?t mind coming here forback-to-back meals! :) Read more
This Japanese bar is good!!! The food, atmosphere, and service was great! I really enjoyed the Japanese style fried chicken and... their sashimi!! The restaurant looks super clean and cozy. And all the costumers seem very chill there. There?s only one thingthat I was a little bit concerned was the price of food and beer, other than that everything was perfectly good! Read more
One of my favorite izakaya places in downtown Toronto! Sashimi is super fresh and tasty. Would definitely give 5 stars for the... overall experiences. Although when it gets busy, the service is slower. The quality of the food is still good. Read more
