Everything about this place is amazing—the atmosphere, the service, the drinks, and, of course, the food. Pria was our waitress, and she was so sweet! It honestly felt like she should’ve been eating with us. My friend and I had the Wagyu truffle wontons, and they were incredible. I was visiting from Nova Scotia and tried them on my last night in Toronto—it made leaving even harder. Until next time, Ultra. I’m coming back for three orders of those wontons!

First time for my group of 8, got to share many dishes, loved the sashimi sampler, Aburi chef's selection, beef short ribs, grilled fish neck; but top favorite has to be the grilled octopus, carbonara udon, kinoko cheese bibimbap (did a repeat on this one). Excellent service, lively ambience but can talk comfortably. Highly recommend.
