It's sad that Japanese food is being driven down to the lowest common denominator (AYCE) in Kitchener-Waterloo ...
To be fair, Kinkaku Izakaya is very good. Of the newer places to open, Watami Sushi and Linhai Sushi are not AYCE, though yes, AYCE is very popular and hard to compete with.
Kinkaku was very nice, and they still have a decent take-out menu, but I really have no interest in AYCE dinner. It's not what an izakaya should be, either: it should be all about "nominication" (communication over drinks, with food to complement that).
I really should try Watami. Linhai is pretty far out of the way for me, so I may not make it there.
