- NNatalieToronto / Ontario •8 reviews5.0Dined 2 days agoI can’t say enough about our experience at Gonzo!!!Our party of 3 became a party of 4 at the last minute and the staff was so quick to accommodate, which we really appreciated. The staff was just wonderful overall!! From recommendations to portion sizes and explanations of different dishes we were eager to try, 10/10 hospitality. The food was out of this world. We went in blind and everything we selected was so unbelievably flavourful, the timing was perfect, and the presentation was delightful. Considering the amount of variety and the number of dishes we ordered between 4 people, our total ended up being about $45 a head before tax and tip which was beyond reasonable (we were not drinking but their house special was $9.00 pints of Asahi which isn’t bad!) Thank you to all the servers who made our night memorable and the back of house staff who made a wicked meal. Can’t wait to come back.More infoGonzo IzakayaPrice: Very Expensive• Japanese• Little Italy / College St.•4.8

- AAudreyToronto / Ontario •6 reviews5.0Dined on Jan 11, 2025Everything was delicious. The Beef Curry Cheese Bibimbap was amazing. The eggplant and tofu dish was really good too. We loved the Tokyo Spicy Fries and the sushi. My Umi Mojito was refreshing and my friend loved her Lychee Mojito. It was really loud because a company was having a staff party but it's a popular place. So, we understand.More infoKINKA IZAKAYA ANNEXPrice: Expensive• Japanese• The Annex•4.3
