The Shozan Room - Toronto

I've had some of the best cocktails at any restaurant in Toronto at this place. They are unique and perfectly match the ambiance. It was so refreshing to enjoy them in the hot summer weather. The food was also excellent, with the tofu dish being a standout for me.

This place was so cute. Service was great and the food was really delicious. We loved the fried chicken, sushi and eggplant. They offer a large selection of Sake if you’re into that or wanting to try it!

I stumbled upon this restaurant by chance and had a wonderful evening. My companion and I shared 7 dishes, with the eggplant being standout. The rest of the food was also delicious. I will definitely return as the service was excellent. The thematic tiramisu was a delightful dessert to end the evening.

Cute little Japanese Izakaya in Ossington. They have outdoor dining along the room and a few tables inside. Very cute decor and some interesting statues inside that catch your attention. Didn't do a full meal but just mainly went to grab drinks and an order for the Tebasaki wings. The cocktails were well made with unique combinations (My Own Private Tokyo had a strong matcha flavour which was really good). The service overall was great. We got seated promptly and the waitresses were very attentive and would refill water constantly. Will come back to try the rest of the menu and try more of their cocktails.

Authentic Japanese food with their own little twist.I came here for my birthday and was surprised that this restaurant was so small and intimate. The restaurant can probably only seat about 25-30 people. The decor is a mixture of Japanese decors and modern furniture, the space is well used as there are high-tops against the walls to make space for a few more tables.My overall experience here was positive. Food was SO delicious and there are some dishes I’ve tried that I’ve never tasted anywhere else. I was slightly disappointed that they do not pass out the samurai hats for people with birthdays anymore (check out their IG . To be honest, I came here just for that but at least they gave me a candle for my tiramisu hahaFood recommendations:-Scallop, shrimp and corn cake (looks like a crab cake but it’s all these ingredients mashed and fried up together! Never had anything like this before, definitely a unique dish. It a mix of savoury from the seafood and sweetness from the corn-The $45 sashimi plate was fresh, nothing special though, it’s the usual snapper, salmon, tuna selection-Chicken wings were bombtastic-Matcha Tiramisu, the BEST tiramisu I’ve ever hadWhat I do not recommend:-cocktails here did not impress me, not a lot of creativity was placed in their drinks. It seems to be a common thing for them to throw in pieces of fruits with their cocktails. They taste alright but not the best cocktails I’ve ever had.If you want to pay a visit on a Friday or the weekends, I highly recommend you make a reservation in advance. Otherwise, good luck getting a table.
