A hidden gem of a bar with Asian style, pleasant low volume music so guests can interact, cosy atomosphere

Visiting over the Thanksgiving break, we stopped by here & everything was just smooth from start to finish. The service was friendly, the food came out fast, & everything we ordered tasted great. It's an easy spot to relax, enjoy your meal, & not feel rushed. Glad we came through - I'd definitely come back again!

Amazing cocktail bar with a cozy vibe & beautifully crafted drinks. Andrea, Fan, & Hinako are the best super friendly, talented, & always make you feel welcome. If you want great cocktails & great service, this place is a must-visit.

Une pépite traditionnelle japonaise comme on les aime. L'enseigne n'est pas visible de l'extérieur, pour une ambiance cache.
Endroit très sombre, la lumière est faible c'est ce qui fait tout son charme.
Peu de choix de cocktails mais ils changent tous de l'ordinaire & surtout ils sont très bons.
Parfait pour les amateurs de saké, whisky & alcool fort.
Ils servent aussi quelques amuse bouche en supplément.
Le service est impeccable, les cocktails sont bons. Allez découvrir cet endroit !

Came to visit this place for the first time - it's full house. Kindly waited in the corner of this cozy room. Thanks to the samurai who kept me company!

2025: the Abe no Seithei is perfect if you enjoy whiskey & caramel. Service was efficient. Be prepared for a lineup of you come at Prime times.
2024: the Gempei is still good. Service was a little lacking from our waiter who didn't check in on us even though we added someone. The waitress who wasn't assigned to us was very sweet & helpful though.
2023: the Bunshin was fantastic, the Gempei was really good, both well crafted. I enjoyed the unagi Maki as well. Pleasant efficient service. Wish they had a little more selection foodwise.
2018: Excellent service. Creative drinks. Nice decor. Definitely deserves its ranking among Canada's top bars.

I came alone. I ordered a scallop appetizer. They were good… So that encouraged me to get a maguro (tuna) dish with rice. The tuna wasn't tender or fresh enough. It was a bit fibrous & dry. That disappointed me. They have a nice selection of sake & Japanese whiskey. The waitress was kind. However, they don't accept cash, & no one mentions it in advance. I don't know what they expect 🙄😬. Payment was complicated. A real shame. I won't be going back

The bar is awesome looking & has a cool concept, the drinks & food was really good, however the staff was so rude & unprofessional. Our waitor (I believe he is a french guy), did not even bother to come see us a second time to see if we wanted another drink or anything else, we had to flag him down, & even when we did he was extremely cold. Sad such staff work in hospitality.

Gokudo used to be my favourite cocktail bar, by far. However, some time a few years ago, the staff & management changed. The menu changed, with iconic & incredibly well-balanced cocktails being removed while less interesting drinks were added. Despite, from what I can tell, the addition of more staff, the service has become worse. Honestly, it's all a big disappointment that has me missing the old Gokudo & the old bar staff that worked there.

Really cozy vibe & the music is not too loud or overstimulating so you can actually have a conversation. Great service too, the server was always there right when we needed her! The food & drinks were tasty & came very quickly
