    Mazemen
    Nathan A.

    Small spot right at Yonge-and-Eglinton (on the 2nd floor - can take the stairs or elevator), focusing on Katsu but also udon. Came for a casual birthday dinner - unfortunately (but understandably) they were not able to let us bring in a cake to eat (though they did hold onto it for us). First time here, so ordered the Zenbu Katsu and a Mazemen (udon). Zenbu Katsu comes with an assortment of Katsu - few selections of pork, shrimp, menchi (meatball), and veggies. Mazemen is a brothless udon to be mixed with sauce, pork, and an egg. Both items were very tasty. Each katsu was crispy and it was very nice to get the assortment (also just a lot of food). Favourite for me was the menchi. Mazemen was also very flavourful. Overall friendly service, and delicious food. Price is a little high, but reasonable. Would recommend.

    I ordered the lime cold udon and the broth was so refreshing! I've never had lime cold udon before, but it is definitely a dish I would order again in the future. My friend ordered the katsu and the amount of cheese the chef put was surprisingly a lot, which made the quality quite worth the price. MORU had amazing service and the waitress was responsive to our needs the entire time. The restaurant is so clean and aesthetically pleasing. I would come back to try the katsu next time!

    I had a fantastic experience at Moru! We visited for dinner and were blown away by the quality and presentation. We ordered the Beef Gyukatsu Set and the Pork Zenbu Katsu. Both were freshly breaded and prepared to absolute perfection. Each meal arrived on a beautiful tray complete with a bowl of rice, fresh salad, and miso soup. A highlight was the mini grill provided with the beef cutlet--it was so cute and allowed me to finish cooking the meat exactly to my liking! The Zenbu Katsu is a must-try if you're indecisive like me. It's an assortment of their entire pork lineup: 1 rosu, 1 hire, 1 cheese katsu, 1 menchi katsu, 1 ebi, and 3 veggie katsu. I love that they offer this "taster" platter; it's a very creative way for diners to experience the variety of the menu in one sitting. The pricing was very reasonable for the amount and quality of food provided. Location & Tip: The restaurant is in a great spot right outside the Yonge & Eglinton subway station. Just a heads-up for first-timers: we got a bit lost and accidentally walked into the residential building entrance first! Make sure to look for the commercial entrance--the restaurant is located on the second floor.

    Went when this place was brand new. It replaced another Japanese spot with a similar name. It's upstairs so you'll need to head up the stairs from the condo building. They have a good selection of beef, chicken, pork and seafood katsu which are very large plates. But my favorite here is definitely the Gidori Udon ($21). Extremely good broth with chicken and fish cake. I know they're known for katsu but wow, that udon is delicious. Good service and as its relatively new, it's a nice modern vibe in there.

    5 stars for the food and 4 stars for the atmosphere! Delicious katsu, can expect a line so it's best to reserve ahead of time! It can also be a bit confusing to find, it's located upstairs but you have to walk through what looks like an office building to get to the second floor. It's not too big so expect it to be a bit cramped during busier periods. The udon was delicious, it had a great chew to it. The highlight was their katsu and the pickled veggies. Only downside is that they don't have unlimited refills for rice, soup and salad. They only allow one refill.

    A group of four of us came for dinner. The restaurant was clean and spacious. Service was excellent as the servers regularly checked on us to ensure everything was going well. The food was great! You could tell that they take pride in the preparation and presentation of the dishes. Also, the oil is clean, and so the food comes out a beautiful light golden colour and not super dark like some other places. Our favourite dishes were the Katsu Sando and the Zenbu Katsu, which included: 1 Rosu, 1 Hire, 1 Cheese katsu, 1 Menchi katsu, 1 Ebi and 3 Vegetable katsu. The Crab Cream Croquette was also really good. Super crispy on the outside and very creamy on the inside. It was a good thing that we ordered 1 side dish, 2 mains and 1 Zenbu Katsu as we couldn't finish everything. If I'm in the area again, I would definitely come back.

    Came here to enjoy some elevated Katsu. This was more than I expected and we all really enjoyed it. The portions were bigger than we anticipated so we felt a bit stuffed. The service was amazing, waiters were very polite and patient. They were playing anime music the entire time we were there.. which was fun! Would gladly come back here to try other dishes from the menu!

    Stopped by Moru for a weekend lunch to deal with a serious tonkatsu craving and it turned out to be a solid choice. Given the mixed opinions I heard from friends and the fact that Zenbu Katsu offers a vegetable katsu I cannot have due to a soy allergy, I kept it simple for a first visit. I went with the Rosu Katsu and added a Cheese Katsu on the side. Overall execution was right on point. Everything felt properly prepped and fried with care, and the variety of condiments actually made sense instead of feeling like an afterthought. The presentation and structure immediately reminded me of places like Saboten. The Cheese Katsu was especially well done, nicely melted inside with a clean crunch outside. If I am in the area and do not feel like driving up to Cotolet, this would easily be the go to options. Service was friendly and helpful without hovering. The only thing that stood out was texture consistency. The Cheese Katsu came out crispy, while the Rosu Katsu leaned a bit soggy, which was unexpected given how well everything else was executed. That said, kitchens have off moments, and it did not take away from the overall experience. I enjoyed it enough that I am genuinely curious about their gyukatsu next time. After being let down by Kyoto Katsugyu recently, I am quietly optimistic this might do it better.

    So to begin, Moru Katsu grand opening was on April 4th, 2025. Moru Katsu is located on the second floor. I highly recommend to take the stairs because the elevator you must take the left one and press M instead of level 2. The restaurant is located on the 2nd floor. As a first timer, I think the Zenbu Katsu is a good option because you get to try a bit of everything, tofu Katsu (hard tofu), Ebi (shrimp) Katsu, pumpkin, Zucchini, pork loin and pork fillet. I prefer the pork loin over the pork fillet as the pork was marinated better. I did order a separate Ebi because I like shrimp. The minced cutlet (Manchu) was flavourful and tasty with bits of carrots inside. The Katsu Don, I find the egg on the salty side. Overall, worth to check it out.

    **3.5 stars**. Came here on a Friday at around 5pm and we pretty much had the place to ourselves. For some reason, the reso time on Fridays only goes up to 5pm on their website, but rest assured that you'll still get a seat without resos. The restaurant is located on the second floor so highly recommend to take the stairs. The place felt very modern and the staff was really nice. My partner and I got the Zenbu to try everything as well as the Ebi Katsu. The Ebi looked absolutely beautiful, but it was an insane mess to eat. It basically crumbles everywhere once you bite into it, but the shrimp flavour was not bad. From the Zenbu plate, I really liked the Hire and the veggie tempura (sweet potato and tofu). The cheese and regular katsu was pretty average. Not the best that I've tasted. I thought the price was decent for what you get and the presentation is very instagram worthy. I will probably not be back unless they have new menu items.

    The shrimp katsu has a pretty presentation but it's hard to eat. Not that flavourful/delicious either. But I liked Hire (pork) katsu (very soft) and Tori (chicken) katsu that other people got. I would go back to try their katsu sando.

    Robot Boil House - Mixed seafood with Robot blend

    Hands down my favourite seafood boil spot in the city. I've been coming here for about 6 years now…read moreand of course today did not disappoint as usual. I went there for lunch earlier and picked up two shrimp boils in medium spice, robot blend and it was great as usual. Service is always amazing and today was no different. I ordered mine to go and while I was waiting they offered me water to drink with lemon which was amazing as I was really thirsty. I also used the washroom before I left and it was clean and smelled good as usual. Will be back next week!

    Robot Boil is a seafood boil place with a combination of traditional and Asian flavours. I've dined…read morehere before with my friend and enjoyed it, so I decided to do the same again since I was craving seafood boil this past week. The place is quite small though nicely decorated.They use robots to carry the food around so I found that the service was went quite smoothly. My friend ordered oysters. I'm not a big fan of oysters but the one's here are of good quality. We each ordered a pound of mixed seafood. She ordered the shrimp and the frozen mussels, while I did the shrimp and fresh mussels. Then we had the seafood fried rice. Finally, we shared an order of lobster tail; they gave us two so we had one each. The seafood rice was superb; just the right amount of spice and full of flavour. My mixed seafood was also quite good. I was pleased with the shrimp. The mussels tasted fine although do take note that the fresh mussels tend to be smaller than the frozen ones. I had some mussels that were incredibly small, to the point where it didn't actually feel like I ordered a pound of seafood. I ordered the robot blend for my pound of seafood, which was stellar. Very good Southern boil flavours. I tried the coconut and curry sauce with the lobster tail and it tasted a little underwhelming. Another note: I ordered my seafood with the sauce while my friend ordered the sauce on the side. I would actually recommend ordering it on the side, especially if you have mussels, so you can get a good coating of sauce on the mussels themselves (as opposed to the shells). Overall, it was a good experience. If you're looking for a nice seafood boil place, this is a good place to start. This is close tot he Bloor-Yonge station so it's quite conveniently placed!
