Rarely are you able to find surf-and-turf for under $20. Aka-Oni’s take bento ($18) meets the challenge with a wee tempura lobster tail and small steak. While the lobster is frozen, you can still taste some of the lobster’s sweetness … it helps when the chef shows restraint with the batter. It’d be even better if it were cooked less.
Surprisingly, the Angus steak arrived pink-in-the-middle medium despite being cut so thinly. Simply grilled, it tasted like beef and was tender.
A generous portion of the saba shioyaki arrives in the matsu bento ($16), but does require a generous squeeze of lemon and grated radish to mask the light fishy essence (not abnormal with mackerel). Moreover, I thoroughly enjoyed the enoki stuffed beef rolls. Some may find it a tad salty, but the flavours were perfect at complimenting all the neutral crunchy mushrooms.
There aren’t bento boxes during dinner, but there is a set meal for those who like crab and sashimi. Not feeling too hungry, we stuck with some sharable dishes that spanned
The Ikura & Uni Don (Salmon Roe and Sea Urchin on Sushi Rice) was a mini size but it was really, really delicious! They did everything right here. The sea urchin was so smooth and delicious, the salmon roe were fresh and tasted good, and the sushi rice was indeed sushi rice — I could taste the vinegar in it. Mmm, it was perfect!
Not a bad meal. I love how cool this place is. Very flattering light, good food.
It's in a busy strip mall with other food places in north Scarborough, or little Markham, as I like to call it.
Lots of parking. You might not park too close but you'll have a spot
Almost missed the entrance. When you walk in, the entrance is covered in shelves with bottles. It's nice. I love how the place looks, it's welcoming and yet modern. Calming blues and browns and greys. Lighting is nice. Flattering. Go here on dates, you'll always look your best!!
I hate how the izakaya menus look. Be a little unique people. Also, I'd say this place is more a Japanese restaurant rather than am izakaya one.
They have a lot of photo worthy tasty dishes. Everything we had was good there was some great. Nothing that anyone didn't like, some things that were just good. I got to eat triangle rice the emoji!
I'll be back. I felt super cool being there and liked the food.
