Ema-tei.

Enjoyed a lovely, authentic dinner at a Japanese restaurant called Ema-tei downtown.  Had all the usual goodies including but not limited to, karage, green tea ice cream, and all yum yums imaginable.  Great food, good atmosphere, and family.

Don't know why people rated it so low.  Perhaps they didn't fancy the menu that includes chicken innards and ox tongue or fried salmon head (hmmmm good).

I'd give it a 4.5 out of 5.

The only thing that spoiled my evening was a brawl that happened around 10:15pm at Spadina and Dundas.  Two asian teenagers and some guy on a bike.  Honestly, keep the fights to the sidewalk.  Also loved how this old caucasian guy tried to get involved.  Throws his jacket on the ground and starts walking to the 3-person brawl and I'm sitting at a green light waiting for him to get out of the way.

Don't fight, just enjoy the food and the culture of Toronto.
