Kōjin, Toronto, ON

Tonight we had our work holiday dinner at Kōjin (University Avenue, south of Queen Street W), which is part of the Momofuko Group.

Here's the lobby bar of the Shangri-La Hotel ... the restaurant entrance is off the lobby.

Kōjin is on the third floor.

Because we were a large group (there were 16 of us including spouses), we had a set menu and food was served family-style.

FIRST

Seafood Platter with east coast oysters, snow crab and shrimp ...
I'm not a seafood fan but this was a hit

Gord tried some oysters

Corn Flatbread ... this was really good

Fired-roasted eggplant & confit garlic

Butter and spiced honey

Radicchio Salad

Chef's Sausage Board - jerk pork, chicken and cheddar and beef ...
these were really good

Lots of oysters left over from the platters

SECOND

Slow Roasted Prime Rib

The prime rib was really rare so we sent the sliced back to be grilled
 ... it was so good!

Whole Grilled Trout with hot sauce, coconut congee and lemon sauce

Gouda Mashed Potatoes

Crispy Brussels Sprouts ... I didn't have any but they smelled really garlicy

THIRD

Blueberry Cobbler with whipped cream and rum ... yum!

Peanut Butter Cake with apple compote and hokey pokey ice cream ...yum!

There's Brett, Tom, Carly, Maria and Gabi leaving and waving good-bye!

The food was really good and the service was excellent!  I'm so glad I got to try this restaurant.
