One of the closest restaurants to Osgoode Station is Flame Sushi! It is just three minutes, 160 meters, away from the station. As the name suggests, it is the right place for Sushi lovers, especially those who are fans of Aburi/torched Sushi. If you already have had Salmon Sashimi, you will find Flame Sushi’s version tastier with enhanced texture. Even if you want to have your first Sushi experience, you should not miss Flame Sushi; once you put that piece of art in your mouth, the flavours will be engraved in your taste memory forever.
What could help a restaurant attract new customers and maintain old ones? Great taste and good service! Unique taste, Flame Sushi’s primary goal, comes from quality ingredients. Fruits are perfectly ripe; fish is thin, very fresh, and soft. Rolls have generous amounts of fish and not too much rice; you would never get disappointed by the rolls’ size at all. Among all Sushi rolls, Salmon Oshi, Tuna Oshi, Butterfish Oshi, and Hokkaido Scallop are to die for! Make sure you visit when they have the “buy one, get one free” offer so you can overdose on Sushi!
Flame Sushi has good deals on Ubereats, but they sometimes have the same discounts that online platforms offer; you would better order directly from the store for pickup or delivery to support the owners. The food comes very quickly, well packaged, and beautifully presented; enough packets of wasabi, ginger, and soy sauce are included as well.

Kōjin, which was opened in June 2018, is very close to Osgoode Station; walk down University Avenue, and you will see the front door a couple of minutes later. Kōjin is a Japanese word for God of fire, representing the charcoal flame used to prepare Canadian cuisine by Chef de Cuisine Eva Chin. Although delivery and pickup are available, it has a beautiful view and friendly staff, so you might not want to miss the dine-in experience. It is a perfect spot for formal meals and special events, considering the price point.
The menu at Kōjin changes daily, it is so creative, and you will always be satisfied with the combination of flavours. It would be best if you visited as a group to share or sample as many items as you possibly can. Dishes are not vegetarian-friendly, so take it into your consideration when you invite friends. If you have any dietary limitations, you need to inform the staff in advance.
Oysters with accompaniment sauces are delicious. You must try corn flatbread with beef drippings and brie, plus their croquettes that are crispy and creamy. It is highly recommended to order your steak with a side dish; steaks are cooked upon your request. The Sausage Board- Chef’s selection of three different sausages offered daily and made by their in-house butcher- is liked by many people and makes you go back in a heartbeat.

They change the menu often to capture special occasions. Minami Toronto has a regular menu for cooked meals and a Frozen To-Go menu (just available for pickup and delivery). There are various options on the cooked menu, but the Ebi Oshi, which is their signature Oshi, makes you feel like you have hit the culinary jackpot! Bento Boxes are high-quality and are definitely worth the price. Sukiyaki Bento has amazingly tender beef and cream-poached eggs with mushrooms and brussels sprouts. Daigaku-Imo, caramelized Japanese sweet potato, is one of those side dishes that you will crave after the very first bite!

On a sweltering summer day in the evening, get out of Osgoode Station and walk Queen St West for a couple of minutes to see Ikkousha Ramen is packed- that alone should tell you how popular this hidden gem is! Mr. Yoshimura started Ikkousha Ramen in Hokota, Japan. Then he opened other branches to introduce the best Japanese Ramen to the world, including the Toronto branch established in 2019. Ikkousha is the combination of Ichi (one), Ko (happy), Sha (space) and is all about bringing happiness to its customers, staff, and all other people who are connected to this restaurant in some ways.
The servers are friendly, efficient, and fast. They explain the ordering process and help guests fill the ordering sheet. The menu is not very extensive, but the food is terrific. The Ramon is delightfully rich; the broth is very light and flavorful. Noodles are thinner than usual but are perfectly cooked. The biggest pro is that you can choose the level of saltiness (light, Japanese taste), the texture of noodles (soft to very hard), and the toppings; it is best to go with the premium toppings. There are some excellent condiments on the table that help you add additional flavour to the meal. The Ramen has to be on your bucket list, but the Karaage (fried chicken) is worth trying as it is very crispy outside and juicy inside. Some Ramen spots are becoming less authentic these days, but Ikkousha Ramen would never disappoint you.

The tasting menu is unique, but Richmond Station is famous for its burger (organic beef, garlic aioli, beet chutney, pickled onions, aged cheddar, iceberg lettuce, milk bun). The bun is so soft and light, the beet chutney adds some pleasant sweetness, and the patty is well-seasoned. Order this darn nicely presented burger, and you’ll be glad you did!
You can’t rave enough about the burger, but it does not hurt to try other good options such as Polenta Fries as they are crispy and flavorful. The Kale and Brussels Salad has so many complex layers of flavour. The Roasted Black Cod is pan-seared and very juicy. Oyster Mushrooms are lightly battered, topped with Kewpie mayo that balances the sweet and the sour with a touch of Togarashi, making it a perfect vegetarian option. All in all, it is worth the time and the price.

Tala is a take-out and delivery restaurant on Dundas Street, near Osgoode Station, making Filipino home-cooked cuisine in a tasty way. The owners have big hearts; they pay close attention to their customers and try to make the food as authentic as possible.
They offer both delivery and take-out, but since they have delivery boundaries, the most convenient option is to order take-out.

The Fiesta has the same options as the Feast plus milkfish, tilapia, bbq chicken leg, and liempo. Try Tala’s Sorry Sorry Store options if you want to add any snacks along with your order. Ordering from Tala will be a satisfying experience that makes your wallet feel pleased too.
