    Pork Loin Katsu Demi-Glace
    Nimeth R.

    The order took wayyy to long to arrive. My friends and I were very hungry after Halloween and wanted a grub to eat but had to wait more than 25 minutes for the food. The curry was meh as it just tasted like a thick marinara sauce drowned in cream (prolly not what it was but it was what it tasted like) and the pork was dry and not juicy at all. Ambience and staff were nice though. Overall not worth the $20+ spent on this dish.

    their happy hour is a fantastic deal, $16 for pork tonkatsu with unlimited soup rice and cabbage. easy 2 meals worth of food

    *Posted this on the wrong location earlier. This is the right one now. First dine-in outing since the recent lockdown and we were craving for a hearty meal of meat, veggies and perhaps some hot broth in an ambient setting. Katsu came to mind immediately, and we were met with two nearby choices: Katsuya, or Mr. Tonkatsu.  Takeout would have been good too, but one perk of dining-in at either restaurant was the unlimited refills of rice, cabbage salad, and miso soup, and that sounded really good on a cold day for two hungry people. I prefer the flaky katsu and miso soup at Katsuya but Mr.Tonkatsu seemed healthier, won by distance, and also held a nostalgic spot in my undergrad memories. We started with two cups of Japanese green tea($2 each). I like that they provided the tea bags so we had the option of refills with more hot water. For mains we got the Pork Loin Katsu with Cheese + Soba(~$19) and the Pork Tenderloin Katsu with Curry($18). The soba is a small appetizer portion and was a tad bit overcooked. The broth tasted like msg due to the seaweed and spices. I would have preferred a lighter tasting app since the mains are fried and oily meats lol. The pork and cheese katsu was less packed with meat than the pork tenderloin katsu; there was a lot of space from where the cheese was. I guess its half meat and half cheese rather than full meat stuffed with cheese? Either way it was still very meaty, albeit a bit rich. Then I tried the tenderloin..and it was oh so tender! And more flavourful than the pork loin too..which I found strange because loin is supposed to be fattier which means tastier..? Also the fact that it was drenched in curry provided more moisture and cut down on the greasiness that I would have otherwise gotten from the crust. The rice and salad portions were smaller than I had remembered. It was half the portion that I would get in a takeout container. But we weren't worried since there were free refills. My bf has a big appetite, as he scarfed down the soup, curry katsu, rice and the salad within minutes. It took me three chopsticks full to finish one portion of salad, but just one chopsticks full for him lol. Thank goodness for free refills. We checked with the server beforehand that the free refills policy was still valid, and she confirmed it. I wasn't close to finishing my meal yet so we ordered two refills of salad/soup first for him. Half of the katsu was already very filling for me and I couldn't eat any more, so he took it over. I did finish the soup and salad though, and wanted more to cleanse my palate. He also finished the two refills we had gotten earlier, so we discussed how many more to get. We didn't want to get banned or anything..just wanted to get our worth of dining in, and plus, the citrusy cabbage salad is so refreshing. So we decided to order 4 more refills. Two for me, and two more for him. We thought it would be okay since it was small portions, and the server did confirm the perk at the beginning.. but when she took our order once again and went into the back kitchen, the kitchen staff laughed at the order. Soon after, she came back with an apologetic look on her face. Apparently the policy had changed and now its limited to 1 free refill per person. I guess I don't have a poker face because I felt my face drop immediately lol. The website says 'free to refill', and not '1 free refill' (see attached). Not that we are being nitpicky about the number, but if the policy did change then it should be clearly stated. And I feel the server should have told us beforehand of this change. Also my bad for not confirming at the door. Oh well. Personally I'm pretty disappointed, especially since I don't dine out as often anymore, so restaurant dine in visits need to be worth the go. As a major foodie with stored favourites across Toronto, the service, attitude, and misinformation on this visit has left a bad taste in my mouth. This kind of bad moment is the deciding factor that I will be resorting to Katsuya for katsu cravings from now on. Before the pandemic I used to come here all the time with friends after a long exam, and it was the nostalgia that led me here this time. Feels bad that one bad moment can override a memorable place just like that. I don't appreciate the reactions of the back kitchen staff after hearing our refill order, and the rain on our parade towards the end when the server had to eat her words on the former policy. I can't help but wonder what would have happened if we had ordered two more refills the second time instead of four...would they have agreed? Did the policy really change?

    Got the: - Pork Tenderloin Katsu ($17.80) - Loin Katsu Curry ($17.80) - Soba ($3) The sets each come with a miso soup, cabbage, and rice. Overall, really good! There is a difference between the loin and the tenderloin (more tender), although it is not too noticeable. The curry sauce is good as well (not too salty), although personally I preferred the original sauce that comes with the set. The soba I got as an add on for $3 - it comes hot (not cold). You also order via a QR code directly on the app.

     a meal of fried chicken and rice

    A good place to visit and fried pork is a good choice when you miss Japanese vibe and food. Always welcoming people with Japanese tradition, ice water. It's a bit pity that they can't refill miso soup.

    Tenderloin tonkatsu

    Was excited for Japanese style tonkatsu. The store is comfortable and has nice wood Japanese style interior. Although they still use QR code menu and ordering system, the staff were attentive and will also be able to take orders. I got the tenderloin tonkatsu (pork tenderloin) and takoyaki. Overall a good meal. At a decent price ratio. But some points of disappointment for me. The meat was nicely tenderized, good portion and presentation. Comes with miso soup, cabbage salad, rice and tonkatsu sauce. Was looking forward to freshly grinding my own seasame, but the sesame came sprinkled in the sauce. Miso soup was nice to have, but sadly the wakame seaweed was boiled in the soup too long, resulting in mushy strands. The katsu itself unfortunately had a soggy bottom. Maybe not quite the right frying temp or not enough resting period? There's more improvements to be made to the frying technique here. I recommend eating them upside down for better crunch experience or to order katsu curry instead. Since it will sit in sauce anyways the soggy bottom is no longer an issue. The takoyaki is the deep fried not authentic variety. Can be skipped next time.

    This place is one of my new tonkatsu favourites in downtown. I normally bring out of towners to Katsuya but was exploring the Wellesley area with a friend who was adamant we get something fried for dinner. It's a Korean owned establishment with super friendly staff. The waitress came by to explain their menu and even showed us how to grind the sesame seeds to sprinkle onto our dish. The food arrived pretty quickly and was quite delicious. It's slightly cheaper or similar in pricing to Katsuya but portions are a tad smaller and the food is not quite on the same level. I would still hit this place up when I'm in the area though.

    Pork tenderloin katsu
    Byris L.

    Delicious and reasonably priced! My friend and I ordered the Pork Tenderloin Katsu set which came with rice, miso soup and salad. Sesame seeds are provided in a bowl where you can grind (if you choose) and add to the Katsu sauce. Personally I couldn't tell the difference between his grinded sesame and my plain ones (or maybe we weren't doing it right haha). The service was quick and the food was hot and delicious. The tender pork was wrapped in a thin layer of batter, with just enough crisp. Would definitely recommend and return to try other items on the menu!

    Brandon U.

    tldr: A solid Korean-style Tonkatsu shop. Full katsu sets (salad, soup, rice, and katsu) for good prices $15. Ample seating. Punctual service. This shop serves Korean-style katsu dishes. Korean katsu is flakier than traditional Japanese katsu. This shop is similar to Wako Donkasu in LA (for you LA yelpers). The meal sets are the go-to. Sets include cabbage salad, rice, miso soup, and katsu of your choosing. You can add curry on the side among other extras. It's not fancy, but it's good value and a solid dinner or lunch option.

    Cindy L.

    Having tried other Katsu restaurants, this would probably be one of our favourites. The pork loin with cheese was very light in terms of the batter which, overall making the meal not too overwhelming to eat (considering there was also cheese inside). Plus, look how cute the tonkatsu set is?! The spicy sauces chicken thighs were also v yummy!! On another note, the service was kinda iffy - they were accommodating but not at the same time ‍ ... let's just say we had to go up to get their attention a few times (and they weren't even busy?) Would we come back? Probably, one of the better Katsu restaurants in Toronto! We ordered: Pork Loin with Cheese Katsu - Original Tonkatsu set ($14.50) & Spicy Sauced Chicken thigh ($16.50) Follow us @cindysfood (IG) for more reviews!

    Katsu, missing the rice
    Edward T.

    I was quite disappointed with my experience at Mr.Tonkatsu. It's unfortunate, because I actually thought the service was good and the food could have been excellent. What happened was that after ordering our food, the kitchen decided it was a good idea to send out our tonkatsu without the rice - as they had run out and said it would have to come later. At that point, I wasn't too bothered because I understand things like this can happen and I am fine with a short wait. But it took another 15 minutes for the rice to come and by then, the katsu they served me previously had already gone cold. I honestly rather they had me wait longer, and serve me a complete meal all together. Unless they really expect me to eat plain rice on its own, after I had finish the rest of the meal separately. It really didn't seem to make sense and we were not the only table that had this mishap. For a restaurant that has been here for so long and with multiple locations, you would think they have their kitchen together. It still baffles me how they can run out of rice when practically every item on their menu is served with rice. Hopefully this was just an odd case.

    Pork Tenderloin Curry with white rice and miso soup.
    Samantha C.

    I got the Pork Tenderloin Katsu and it was probably the crunchiest katsu I've ever had. I am usually used to having semi-soggy katsu from restaurants, so that was a plus. However, it was pretty average in taste though. There was a slightly sour taste in it - it sort of threw off the whole flavor. I like that the miso soup had free refills, it was comforting on a chilly day.

    Pork Cheese Katsu (around $16)

    LOVE THIS PLACE! Will absolutely come again. We were a group of four and ordered 4 sobas ($5.00) and one "Pork Cheese Katsu" (approx $16). Th sobas were GOOD. Simple and tasty. The "Pork Cheese Katsu" came with miso soup, cabbage salad, sesame seeds and other stuff like rice and pickled vegetables. Filling and tasty. Not only that, but we also got a discount for paying with cash! The staff were super patient and kind! 10/10!

There's no reservation system but they do have a waitlist on Yelp which gets you in line (highly recommended). First to know is you can't pay with credit card here--there's an ATM in the front of the restaurant. As far as the restaurant goes, it was fantastic from start to finish. Our table of 4 was seated and serviced by 1 main staff member, Lydia, who talked us through the whole menu and ordering system, recommended some great starts and then kept us frequently updated all throughout dinner. She checked up on us along with her assistants who were also bringing items and servicing the table. The food quality was excellent with juicy and flavorful cuts of beef along with the shrimp, pork, veggies, side dishes/ponchon, and rice--it kept coming consistently. Grill changes were frequent as well. The atmosphere is lively and there are a lot of servers so you aren't trying get someone's attention all the time. But it doesn't feel too cramped at the same time. As it is AYCE, everyone in our group left full of course and enjoyed each course. I liked the almond tofu at the end! ----TL;DR---- Pros: great selection of meats, quality was top notch, huge portions of course as it is AYCE, service was prompt and all staff were really friendly. Cons: no reservations so need to be on a waitlist. The no credit card system is a bit of an inconvenience. Bottom Line: we loved it--definitely would go back again and enjoy more of their selections! You have to try them if you like meat and AYCE!

We walked into a lively, casual space that works especially well for groups, celebrations, or any meal where you want to take your time and enjoy the experience. The energy in the room is high, with the sound of grilling and conversation filling the space, and the table setup encourages a longer, more relaxed pace than a typical restaurant meal. The biggest highlight is the meat selection. The quality is consistently strong, with different cuts and marinades that give each plate its own flavor. The miso steak is one of the standout items, with a really good balance of savory, slightly sweet, and rich flavors. The marinated meats are where Gyubee really shines, coming seasoned well and developing a great char from grilling at the table. We worked through a range of options including kalbi, hanger steak, and sausage, mixing and matching as we went. The fun part is being able to control the cooking yourself, whether you prefer a lighter sear or a deeper grilled flavor, and the grill setup makes it easy to cook at your own pace. The sides and extras are also better than what we usually expect from an all you can eat BBQ spot. The sushi was surprisingly enjoyable, with smaller portions that made it easy to try different rolls without filling up too quickly. The bibimbap is another good addition, especially when paired with the grilled meats. Takoyaki and other sides helped break up the meal and added variety beyond just ordering meat after meat. The spread is broad enough that you can build a well rounded meal without feeling like you are stuck in a single category. Service was a strong part of the experience. Even with the restaurant being busy, the staff were attentive and checked in regularly to make sure we had what we needed. They kept the table moving, helped with ordering, and made the process feel smooth despite the constant flow of guests. The wait can be the biggest challenge, especially during dinner hours, but the service once seated helped make up for it. The staff also handled the high turnover of tables well, keeping the pace steady without making us feel rushed. Gyubee is one of those places where the experience is just as important as the food. The combination of grilling at the table, quality meats, good sides, and a fun group atmosphere makes it a great choice for a longer meal with friends or family. It is worth planning ahead for the wait because the meal itself delivers the kind of relaxed, interactive dining experience that makes you want to come back. The format encourages you to slow down, cook at your own pace, and enjoy the meal as a shared activity rather than just a quick dinner.

It's my go-to spot to get my don fix - I love the wide variety of dons (rice bowls) that they offer with various fish and seafood combinations. There are also unique appetizers in the menu, such as Purple Yam Croquettes, Crab Crackers, Braised Bamboo Shoots with Shirasu (immature whitebait fish), and Takowasa (marinated raw octopus pieces, to be eaten with or wrapped in nori / seaweed). Although the dons are the main highlight of their menu (hence the restaurant name), they also offer traditional sushi, sashimi, sushi rolls and sets (similar to other Japanese sushi restaurants). Miso Aburi Scallops were very flavourful - nicely torched, giving the scallops a nice grill / char taste. They came with red and green seaweed, and a bit of fish roe. Large Premium Hana Don contained a good amount of fish and seafood, including a whole abalone, uni, shrimp in the shell, aburi salmon, ikura (salmon roe), salmon sashimi, tuna sashimi, yellowtail sashimi, other various fish sashimi, tamago (egg), and a few slices of cucumber on a generous bed of rice. I liked that the rice was a mix of white rice and some type of dark-coloured grains. Unatama Don came with a big piece of unagi and tamago (egg) that were both excellent. The sashimi were all fresh. Okonomiyaki was disappointing but it was sort of expected... for only $9, it was about 99% just flour pan-fried in a patty, without any substantial fillings (unlike real okonomiyaki, which usually contains protein / seafood, cabbage, eggs, and other ingredients). Location is super convenient near Bay & Dundas, ambiance is very casual, and service is quick.
