Our menu is thoughtfully crafted to reflect our culinary vision, and any modifications would compromise the experience we’ve designed. While we will make every effort to accommodate certain dietary restrictions with advance notice, we are unable to adjust the menu for preferences or specific restrictions such as vegan, vegetarian, pescatarian, no pork, gluten-free, or dairy-free. Additionally, raw meat and seafood are featured throughout the menu, so we advise guests who are pregnant to take this into consideration when booking. We appreciate your understanding and kindly ask you to keep this in mind when making a reservation. For any further questions, please contact us at info@akintoronto.com.

Our dining experience is not suitable for young guests (infants to 12 years old). We kindly ask that all guests in the dining room be over the age of 12, as every guest is expected to enjoy the full tasting menu. The length and structure of our menu make it challenging for young children to fully engage in the experience.

Street parking is available on Colborne Street, as well as several nearby parking lots and garages. The closest is the 60 Colborne St Garage, located just a 1-2 minute walk from the restaurant. Another option is 35 Church St Garage.

While we do not enforce a strict dress code, we encourage guests to dress in business casual attire. Ultimately, we leave the choice to your discretion, allowing you to feel comfortable while enjoying a fine dining experience.

We kindly request that guests make a reservation in advance, as we are unable to accommodate walk-ins. We prepare food and portions daily based on reservations, allowing us to plan effectively and provide each guest with a seamless, carefully curated dining experience.

No, we do not offer an à la carte menu at aKin. Our focus is on a thoughtfully curated tasting menu designed to provide a complete and immersive dining experience for every guest.

Yes, we allow up to two 750mL bottles per table for $75 per bottle.

If you or any member of your party is more than 15 minutes late, the pace of service will be adjusted to ensure your dinner stays within the allotted three-hour dining time. Please note that we do a full second seating each night, and if your reservation is before 7:00pm, another guest is booked for your table afterward. We kindly ask that you arrive on time to respect all of our guests’ dining experiences.

The Chef’s Counter experience features an enhanced blind tasting menu that includes the addition of A5 Wagyu. Guests seated at the Chef’s Counter enjoy a more intimate, interactive experience within the open kitchen, where they can observe and engage with the chefs up close. This unique access, combined with the enhanced menu, makes the Chef’s Counter a truly elevated dining experience.

Yes, reservations are refundable if cancelled at least one week prior to your reservation date. If cancellation occurs within a week, refunds are not available, but the reservation is fully transferable. Please note, however, that selling reservations for greater than face value is against Tock policy and may be illegal in your area. Anyone purchasing a reservation from another patron should ensure that they receive a formal transfer through Tock. Reservations purchased on the secondary market are at the purchaser’s risk, and we cannot accept responsibility for forgeries or misrepresentations.

To transfer a reservation, log in to your account and then select, “Reservations”. Each reservation has a transfer button next to it.

Due to the unique design and historical nature of our building, aKin is unable to accommodate wheelchair access. We sincerely apologize for any inconvenience this may cause.
