Our favourite Toronto music icon Drake has lots going on right now, from dropping banger after banger, creating a clothing line called October’s Very Own, surprising fans at shows, and opening up his very own restaurant. But apparently, his fans aren’t too impressed with his new Yonge Street spot.
The restaurant is called Pick 6IX and we previously wrote about it when it was just opening in January. According to a whole bunch of reviews and our friends at Narcity, the restaurant is actually doing really poorly. Come on Drake, so much for being a 6 God! You’re going to give us trust issues (sorry, I had to).
Apparently, the vibe of the restaurant has a nightclub feel but also of a family dining aesthetic. Sounds weird, no? The wall is decorated with a wall of golden Ace of Spades champagne bottles, which seems highly unnecessary. The Star reported, “while the service is genuinely sweet, the Asian fusion food is overpriced and problematic, like unpleasantly crunchy fried rice for $26.” So, it’s expensive too – big surprise. They even charge for normally-free condiments, like ketchup for $2. Ridiculous, I know.
The restaurant is advertised as a “sushi & Asian-influenced dishes plus drinks served in a sleek gold-accented haunt co-owned by Drake.” Yes, Susur Lee is behind this restaurant as well but Drake is the face of the brand. There is apparently a VVIP section. Yes, that’s spelled correctly.
Sorry, not sure if you’ve seen but the washroom is SLIGHTLY over the top:
Right now, the restaurant is rated a big 2.3 stars on Yelp which isn’t very impressive. Seriously, these reviews should tell you enough:
Another quote from The Star: “Like the rest of Pick6IX, it’s a letdown.” Enough said.

The iconic Toronto rapper continues to take over the city, this time with his new hot restaurant Pick 6IX. The new spot located on Yonge Street opened just yesterday and captured the attention of many Drake’s fans.
On Tuesday night Pick 6IX hosted its first pre-opening party, which was attended by Drake’s closest friends, including LeBron James, OVO Chubbs, Dwyane Wade and Future The Prince. Check out the pictures from the opening night below.
After Drake’s favourite restaurant Fring’s by Susur Lee, Pick 6IX is his second attempt to conquer Toronto’s food scene. And there’s every chance that the new restaurant located in the heart of the city (close to Union Station and the Air Canada Centre) will become a new city landmark that will attract thousands of tourists. Fans from all over the world have already expressed their desire through Instagram to visit Toronto just to see Drake’s new restaurant.
Pick 6IX, which exclusive design incorporates gold, black and blue colours, is undoubtedly another victory under the musician’s belt.
The rapper wrote on his Instagram, “I hope the entire city gets a chance to enjoy this beautiful establishment.”
