YOKAI IZAKAYA REVIEWS

We celebrated our daughter's birthday at this restaurant and arrived a bit earlier than our reservation, but they seated us right away. The atmosphere was cozy and inviting, and the staff were incredibly attentive. What really surprised us was the food—although it was Japanese, everything was unique and unlike anything we've had before. It was absolutely amazing, fresh, and so delicious that we couldn't stop ourselves from eating! For my daughter’s birthday, they treated her to a cheesecake with sparklers and even sang the birthday song. The dessert was simply out of this world. We’ll definitely be back and highly recommend this place!

Went here for Valentines brunch. The food was tasty. I really loved the cereal on the French toast as it gave it extra texture that was very enjoyable. The coffee was smooth, and it did not need sugar. I also had the matcha latte and that was refreshing. Would go again.

Japanese twist on brunch and wow was it good! The perfect balance of savoury and sweet. Thank you to the wonderful staff for excellent and attentive service. We even got free mimosas for posting and tagging the restaurant as follows: #yokaiBBB. This spot is a must try!

KAYAMONO REVIEWS

My family loved this place! We've visited this restaurant several times already. They offer AYCE menu and a la carte option. Very nice ambiance with soft mellow music in the background. The food is tasty and have great selection. Service is great and servers were courteous. They have birthday promo (50% off for the celebrant). You get 10% off your bill when you pay cash.

We decided to try out Kayamono Japanese Restaurant for Valentine's Day, and it was fantastic. The sushi was delicious, the atmosphere felt genuine, and the staff was incredibly friendly and attentive. They even gave us some great recommendations. It was the perfect place to enjoy a special dinner together. Kayamono definitely exceeded our expectations and made our Valentine's Day memorable. Would highly recommend!

I've been to this sushi restaurant a few times now and they've improved in their food quality. I love their all you can eat sushi and their custard buns are delicious. Also, torched sushi is the way to go.

ICHIKI JAPANESE & THAI REVIEWS

One of the best value for ayce Japanese cuisine restaurant. Dining area is very spacious and can accommodate much larger party sizes. For the price you paid, the food very worthwhile and services is always there. I think it's fair to say Ichiki is easily one of top 5 most worth it ayce restaurants in Vaughan.

Typical AYCE service, nice decor, WICKED FAST service. Food came almost as soon as I pushed the send button.

Thos restaurant is within 9 minutes of Canada's Wonderland. They attended to us even though we came in very close to closing. We thoroughly enjoyed their meal and service. I recommend.
