Great ingredients, my favorite sea urchin, fresh and plenty of it, and the waiter brought me a birthday cake, they were... great! Wonderful service! I also liked the decor of the restaurant, lots of shochu bottles along the wall, typical Japanese style. It was just a little cold sitting at the door. Anyway, I like how quickly they serve the food!read more

Great experience. We came here for lunch and tried a lot of different dishes. Everyone was happy with their order.... Servers were attentive. They remembered who ordered what, even topped up water without being asked. Food quality and quantity were good for the price they charge! Will definitely come back again.read more

Delicious high quality and fresh sashimi and sushi. Highly recommend there unique rolls. They were super delicious. I... would literally come back just for these rolls! Sashimi was also cut thick which I personally like. Service was good. Also, highly recommend making a reservation as they get busy.read more

The atmosphere is quite nice. Sitting is private and you can put down the fabric cloths for more if needed. Service is... quick and the servers are friendly. The food is mediocre and is on the pricey side. The the seafood hotpot was bland while the other dishes were a bit too salty. Prepare to drink tonnes of water after.read more

They are open later than other Sushi 🍣 spots. We are so happy they were!The Angus Tataki was absolutely... delicious. I found my new favorite Sushi spot. Will be back, and the booths have curtains to give an intimate and private experience.The only thing my date didn't like was the Mojito which we have back and they didn't charge us for. A+ service!!read more

If you appreciate good food, you NEED to visit this place. I wish I knew about this restaurant sooner cause WOW was I... missing out!My friends and I ordered a bunch of dishes and EACH DISH DID NOT DISAPPOINT. All very beautifully presented and the taste of each dish is SO good, you don't want to share (lol).The chef and cooks clearly know what they're doing and are very experienced in the type of quality in taste and presentation they want to deliver to their customers.To enhance the experience of our visit, each booth had their own shoji screens which made it feel more authentic and a unique experience different from other Izakaya spots.I truly wish this restaurant more success and recognition because you can clearly taste just how passionate the chef and cooks are about the food they create and present.read more

@akaoniizakaya 🦞🍄🍚🍣This Lobster Don ($25.99) was just divine. Chunks of grilled... lobster Shimeji mushrooms & corn in their Devil sauce which was aromatic and buttery. Tasted so good …. Will definitely go back for this.We also had the dynamite roll. Beautiful presentation and generous sized pieces of sushi. The Tempura appetizer came with 2 large sized prawns and the batter was light and crispy and came with tempura veggies.Will be back soon!!read more

This is a great Japanese restaurant. The sushi was fresh and good quality. There’s a wide variety of food on the menu,... from sushi to sashimi to veggie friendly. It was a busy place though it was late at night. I think this restaurant is popular in the Scarborough area. Pricey but it’s worth every penny spent. Highly recommended.read more

Pretentious restaurant. Food are really over priced and quality is just on par with "all you can eat". Portion is so... small and the pictures are deceiving. When asked about how big the portion is before ordering, the waiter gives very ambiguous answers. Somehow has the audacity to ask why the tip is low? Please be reminded that tip is optional, not mandatory. If we are unhappy with the food or service, we have the right not to give any tip at all. In this case, for the respect to the waitress, we decide to give tips but overall a very bad experience. If you are looking for authenticate Japanese restaurant, I suggest you look elsewhere.read more

The first time I went to Aka-Oni I decided to purchase the VIP card because I knew I would be coming back!! The fish... was very fresh and everything tasted very unique and the best sushi I’ve ever had. I tried the lunch special after, which I thought it didn’t taste as good as the first time I went which was at dinner time. I suspect that they use better quality fish for the non lunch special items.read more

This place looks like it would be a great place if you want to try different types of sake. The food is also presented... very well and aesthetically pleasing. However for the price they are charging, the quality of the sushi is not worth it. The ramen was good but I would not go for the sushi.read more

Came for the first time, food was great. Little more authentic then Ajisen Ramen and just as tasty. Customer service... was great. Quick and efficient. Offered me free ice cream.. doesn’t get much better then that. A tad bit on the pricey side but quality over quantity made it worth it!read more

Absolutely smashing place, it’s got so many options we could barely keep up. Now keep in mind, this was a rather high... end and pricy place, but the food was well worth it. The portions could use some improvement, but they certainly don’t compromise the quality or taste. The golden caviar blow-torched bites are to die for, and they’ve got many delicious drinks! Options for everyone here.read more

Great customer service and food was delicious!My friends and I walked in without reservation on a Saturday night,... luckily there was an unattended reservation so we were seated after 10-15 minutes wait. The three of us ordered a bowl of ramen each and shared a roll and tempura. It was more than enough for the three of us.They had a special menu of chef’s recommendation and seasonal dishes. Their food looks very appealing in general and I look forward to trying other items on their menu!Took off one star because I waited 15+ minutes for my order (they later said it was served to another table) while my friends already finished their ramen.read more

Customer service was excellent, which enhanced the dining experience. The menu has a great variety of Japanese food but... the ramen selection could have more options. Regardless, the food were great 🙂 highly recommend a group of friends or family because you can order more. Also their special menu / chef's recommendations is very appealing...I just wanna try them all.read more

We went during stage 2 reopening and sat at the patio. Customer service was great. I had very high expectation for the... food but it turned out to just be okay. We ordered the daily special luxurious sashimi boat which was close to $100 before tax, everything was fresh but the quality was average. We also ordered grilled steak rice bowl (not pictured) and it was quite salty and kinda burnt. The best dish was the steam egg (also not pictured). Overall what we got was overpriced for the quality.read more

Looks always fancy but some of the signature sushi and Don tastes oily by the combination of fatty fish & sauce.
