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!

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 !

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.
