Everything I have ever had here has been so delicious. The staff are so friendly, helpful and attentive. Love the Udon and tempura. Can't go wrong with anything. A real treat.

We were underwhelmed by our experience. The food was good, not nothing to rave about. Same goes for the service. Would probably come again for a happy hour, but not for a dinner, and certainly wouldn’t go out of our way to do so. We were surprised by the length of time in took between dishes, especially given that we were told as a party of 2 we were only allocated 1.5 Hrs at the table. Due to the wait we used the full allotment, and wouldn’t have had time to order extra dishes or drinks if we wanted to. We ordered a “Sexy Robot” and “Okinawa Nights” for drinks - both were fine, however the Okinawa nights in particular lacked any presentation (no garnish or anything) just clear liquid in a martini glass.. figured for $16 they’d at-least do it up a bit? Of all the Concorde Group spots, this unfortunately has been our least favourite.

Tried this restaurant for the first time for dinner. Cocktails are excellent, the interior decor was nice, but the music is quite loud and food is just okay. Very small portions for how much they charge. Handroll sushi is poorly made, super tiny portions for over 6-7$ per roll. Not worth it at all. It makes me laugh that the restaurant’s name is ironically “lonely mouth”… in Japanese=“Kuchisabishii”-the phrase meaning is to describe that the food isn’t enough or not enough food to satisfy your appetite. Certainly, this restaurant’s food isn’t enough to satisfy your hunger. Go to this place for drinks, not to satisfy your hunger.

I come here every few weeks since the summer. I’ve always enjoyed it and given 5 stars. It’s a very nice and unique place with amazing customer service. The last couple of times have been so loud that I have to request to sit side by side with my friends. Once a few weeks ago, the waitress did turn the volume down and we really appreciated it. Unfortunately, last night, was a difficult. First, the heater blasted in my face. When I asked for it to be turned down, the waitress was reluctant and said she would try. I was grateful that it was turned down but I was not comfortable that I was told if she couldn’t get it turned down, there was nothing she could do. Because of course there would be. She could move us to a different table, right? But also when a restaurant is crowded, no one complains it is too cold so why would this be a problem to begin with? As anticipated, the music was so loud, my friend had to ask our waiter to turn the volume down even sitting side by side. This was her very first time at Lonely Mouth. She was looking forward to it. However, after a couple of requests, we had to leave without finishing our food. It took us so long to order and eat because we were busy shouting at each other and putting our ears to each others mouths to hear. I haven’t seen my friend for two years. So we left in a hurry and sat on her car for 2 hours just talking and catching up without food, or ambience. I must say, that was a unique and unexpected negative experience. There are restaurants that I have stopped coming to for 1-2 years due to noise and wait staff being reluctant to make our experience special. I write reviews and they don’t change. I even request for a booth seat so we can sit side by side to hear better. I’m sure it doesn’t matter to a restaurant when someone complains about noise. But please know that at least a dozen of my friends do not wish to return to Lonely Mouth due to noise. Conversations are important.
