Kimono Lounge and Bar.

kimono... The Korea Town in North York (around Yonge/Finch), is filled with these Korean bars and Kimono Lounge and Bar is another one of them (also in the area: Turbo). Kimono is a place where most people go to chill and drink. They offer a wide selection of Korean food as well, but the real deal is the alcohol combos (similar to Kokuryo). The decor inside is quite nice, modern and there are plenty of tables and seats. We went on a Friday night and it was not super busy like many of these places are. Inside, it is quite dark, as you can see from my crap pictures (I use my Iphone cam for all the pics on the site, lol). If you haven't been to one of these Korean bars, it might seem a little weird, or maybe cool, that they are blasting Korean pop music and have a projector that constantly shows Korean music videos. In terms of food, we ordered an Alcohol combo, which came with either 5 bottles of beer (Coors, Budweiser or Canadian) or a bottle of Soju. In addition to this the combo comes with a plate of food, we got Spicy pork, which was pork and vegetables with some crazy spicy sauce on a sizzling hot plate. They also give you a platter of appetizers, which includes things like macaroni salad, some spicy salad, fish cakes, few calamari rings, some small steamed egg thing and some other stuff. We also ordered a couple beers and a bottle of soju. When you're drinking with friends, its nice to have a bunch of food to go with all the alcohol.
Quick Notes: Kimono at Yonge & Finch. It is West of Yonge on the South Side of Finch (right by the Condos, beside the Subway). If yo
u go with a bunch of people and you order more alcohol, ask them nicely for an additional appetizer platter and usually they will give you another one. The Alcohol combo we got was around ~$20-$25 dollars. The prices for these combos depend on the type of food you order. Bottles of Soju are $14.99 here, like most places.
  • Parking: there is a parking lot to the East of the Kimono on Finch (southside), but it is paid parking (at all times, I think max $3 late night). That parking lot also connects to the parking lot behind Shoppers, which is free, but the signs say customer parking only for shoppers, so park here at your own risk, although its no big deal from my experience.
