What to Order
Wafu Carbonara
This Japanese-twist on carbonara is a standout pasta dish, praised for its rich flavor profile that perfectly balances umami and sweetness.
"That carbonara is seriously the best I've had in Toronto! It's not your typical Italian, it's got a Japanese twist, and it's fantastic! So much flavor, with a mix of umami and sweet that just hits the spot."
Cesar
Karaage Moffle
A delightful fusion of crispy Japanese fried chicken and chewy, airy mochi waffles, often served with a unique miso syrup.
"The karaage moffle proves a delightful textural study, and the curry pasta variations showcase confident, well-balanced spicing."
Gayan Pathirana
Ebi Sando
A crispy shrimp sandwich featuring a unique kimchi tartar sauce, served on their house-made shokupan bread.
"The Ebi shrimp sandwich was good too but for some reason halfway through the sandwich I ran out of sauce so I was just eating a fried shrimp patty with bread. 🤣 Super unique kimchi tartar sauce. LOVE."
Chad H.
Creme Brulee French Toast
This dish is essentially a bruleed bread pudding with a perfect crust, not overly sweet, and often paired with seasonal fruits.
"A standout. It’s essentially a bruleed bread pudding with a perfect crust. Not overly sweet, especially when paired with their seasonal fruits."
Sandy Sun
Miso Brown Sugar Latte
A unique and well-balanced latte that combines the savory notes of miso with the sweetness of brown sugar.
"If you like complex flavors, get this. The savory, salty notes of the miso cut through the richness of the breakfast perfectly."
Sandy Sun
Shokupan Ricotta and Blueberry
A light and satisfying dish featuring their house-made shokupan bread with ricotta and blueberries, often enjoyed with a side of perfectly cooked bacon.
"Mom had shokupan ricotta and blueberry with a side of bacon. She loved it. Said it was very light and didnt sit heavy. Bacon was cooked well, not brunt or extra crispy. Nice and salty."
