Went here on a weekend evening and even though it was busy, the service was amazing. There was a tall Korean server who was incredibly friendly! She greeted us with a smile right when we walked in. We ordered the karaage and she explained what's in the sauce and how to eat it really well. We also had the omurice and it was one of the best Japanese dish I had in Toronto!

This place has become my favourite Izakaya in Toronto! The food reminds me of the food I had in Japan, and the omurice is the best omurice I’ve ever had in Toronto!! Our server, Bomyi, was so attentive and friendly and made the experience so comforting and pleasant!!! She really stood out to me. I highly recommend this Izakaya to everyone - and make sure to check out their Sunday omurice special!!

Finally tried Yuugi Izakaya and really enjoyed it. The fried dishes were excellent, the wagyu fried rice was generous, and the age pan ice cream was a standout. Great service and a fun spot for comfort food — would come back.

We came across Baldwin Street during lunch time and found this Izakaya. They have a lunch menu that surprised us and we ordered the Australian Wagu beef Japanese fried rice (Yakimeshi) and Curry Udon. The fried rice is different with chewy fried rice texture. The curry Udon may be a Hokkaido style of soup Udon. Both of them were delicious. The nice surprise was the Banana Tempura. It came with a scoop of ice cream and sprinkled with frozen blueberry and whipped cream. They have happy hours, weekday special and Sunday omurice special. We will definitely come back in the near future to try.

A cute little Izakaya spot in Baldwin. Their cocktail and drink menu is impressive, as is their food menu. We tried many of the cold dishes but I felt a few were lacking with flavour or something to really make this a full 5 star review. The service was great and the vibes were there. Maybe if I were to come again I would be more impressed with the warm food.
