    This is the second time I’ve come this month, each with people who’ve never gone and it did not disappoint! Both myself and my guests were very fond of our experience, but last night especially. We had come for happy hour and were finished eating in 1.5h, but we hadn’t seen eachother in years so it was a long overdue date to catch up meaning hours of chatting. My biggest worry is that the restaurant would either tell us we’ve stayed too long or make us order more to meet some dollar per hour requirement as other places have made me, but this was not the case. Not only did the waiters leave us to chatting, but our waitress was very kind to constantly fill up our waters multiple times without being a nuisance in asking if we wanted our check to get us out early. I was very impressed and appreciative of the patience the staff had, but specifically our lovely waitress. I’m sorry I didn’t get her name but she was a pleasure to have. This is probably my 10th time coming overall; thank you Lonely Mouth for still being amazing!

    This was my girlfriend and I's second time at Lonely Mouth and although the food was good, I am really unsure if we will be back. We went shortly after 3 on a Monday, my girlfriend was celebrating her birthday and I was hoping it would be special. It wasn't particularly busy, but it was just unbelievably slow. Our waitress was kind, and I felt bad about getting up to go check on things but I had to do so twice. We each ordered a cocktail and it took over 20 minutes after ordering it to get it, by this time we had already gotten our food and had ate most of it-- and I had to double check that the drinks were actually being made. Once again, there was maybe a handful of other tables being served. I felt like we were kind of forgotten about even though I had planned to pay well. There wasn't any gluten free cheesecake, but they were nice enough to bring out some ice cream for my girlfriends birthday, but even that was forgotten about and we were told there was a mix up in the kitchen. It was a huge contrast to the first time we went earlier in the year, maybe it was an off day but my girlfriend was fairly disappointed and so was I.

    Food was excellent: dumplings, tempura, sashimi platter, Urey udon, and doughnuts! Cocktails inventive & tasty! Wait staff is knowledgeable, professional, efficient. Great evening. Thank you!

    Lonely Mouth never disappoints. I brought my family from out of town and they are still talking about this meal days later. The food was beautifully presented and was flavourful; the Snow Peas appetizer and the Katsu Sando were the highlights. The Hiyashi and Goma udons were also both delicious and perfect for a warm evening on the patio. Our server Heeju was very attentive and made excellent recommendations for food and drink. We will definitely be back again!

    We had a great meal at Loney Mouth. Our server was very knowledgeable and attentive. The quality of the food was outstanding. Our son is celiac and their are a lot of great gluten free options.
