    Fried chicken sando
    Karchie T.

    Left here so full I could barely move. Dont be like me and get fooled by their pictures; their portions are massive! Came here for Sunday brunch after 1pm, and joined the waitlist. We had some time to check out Kensington Market while we waited which was nice. Inside was cozy (I wish there was a little bit more natural light inside). Service was pretty quick and food arrived shortly after as well. Everything tasted great! If I come again I think I'd split my meal, or take half home because I felt the portions were just that big Drinks and dessert were good/fine, however I probably wouldnt order them again. Worth checking out if you have time to endure the waitlist and are checking out the area! :)

    I came across this cafe literally while in the street car I was in passed by it, and immediately wanted to try it out, since I didn't know where to go for lunch with my friend. Best impulse decision LOL; I loved the udon carbonara I had gotten; the sauce was a bit more on the creamier side, but the flavor was perfectly balanced. The Hojicha latte I had gotten was suuper good, and if you like your lattes sweet, you'll def enjoy this.

    If you're tired of the usual brunch spots and want something a little different, Ohiru Cafe is such a lovely find. I recently tried their Japanese brunch and really enjoyed it. The portions were very generous, the food was delicious, and the whole experience felt comforting and satisfying. The Tonkatsu Sando was my favorite. The pork cutlet was thick, juicy, and crispy, with a rich sauce that paired perfectly with the soft, fluffy Japanese toast. I also really liked the Hojicha Kuri French Toast. The chestnut purée was not overly sweet, and the hojicha sauce had a nice balanced flavor that made the dish feel indulgent without being too heavy. There were still so many things I wanted to try because the portions were so big. The fried chicken waffles smelled amazing, and the pasta at the next table looked surprisingly good too. I also just found out they serve sake in the evening, and their ochazuke is supposed to be excellent. The service was also very good.. friendly, attentive, and welcoming, which made the whole brunch experience even more enjoyable. Together with the cozy and relaxed ambience, it felt like such a nice place to slow down and enjoy a meal. Overall, Ohiru Cafe is definitely somewhere I'd go back to for a brunch that feels a little different and very satisfying.

    Came here as a group of 2 on a weekend at around 11am and was lucky enough to be seated right away! My friend and I got the karaage and waffles and salmon eggs Benny to share. We also got a matcha latte and hojicha latte for our drinks. Out of the two entrees, my favorite was the karaage and waffles. The karaage was big and juicy and the waffles were crispy on the outside, soft on the inside. The salmon eggs Benny was good too but I just thought it was on the more simple side and the karaage and waffles was more special. Both of the drinks were also great and they definitely did not skimp on their matcha and hojicha powder! Highly recommend this place! The space is quite small though so if you have a big group, make sure you come early!

    I had their chicken katsu and it was DELICOUS! Great portion of the sandwich itself and the fries. The sandwich had such a thick cut of the katsu, perhaps even thicker than the bread holding it. The slaw was delicious with the shredded carrots. The fries were stringy and crispy, my ideal way of enjoying french fries. The salad was equally as good. Overall, I enjoyed my time here and can easily say that this is one of my top brunch places. I wish this place was opened till later though haha :D

    Chicken Katsu Sando.

    After an attempt to eat at a nearby restaurant was foiled, we found ourselves in search of a new brunch spot. We happened upon Ohiru Cafe and somehow managed to snag one of the last free tables (by the window no less!) The menu was full of intriguing items but I eventually opted for the Chicken Katsu Sando ("Crispy Chicken Cutlet, Scallion Aioli, Cabbage Slaw"), as I've always enjoyed that dish and was interested to see how it would translate to sandwich form. Pretty well, it turns out. Although I can't say it reminded me much of a traditional chicken katsu dish, I quite enjoyed this concoction. The fried chicken, while a little too crispy, was prepared well and the aioli gave it a good amount of flavor. The soft, tasty bread perfectly tied the whole thing together, and the included fries and salad made for a perfect complement. Ohiru Cafe is a very cute little spot that I'm sure I'll return to, since their menu contained a bunch of other promising-sounding items.

    Service is great at this small restaurant on College street. They take reservations only during the week. I ordered the chicken Katsu sandwich, which is massive! I had enough for lunch and dinner. The seasoning on the fries is wonderful. The accompanying salad was delicious. Their latte comes with nice art on top. It's a Japanese fusion brunch and it's very tasty!

    Came here on a weekend morning for brunch and we each ordered the chicken katsu sando. The sando came with a side of fries. It was a generous portion! Ended up saving half to take home. Got the matcha ube latte which unfortunately didn't taste that great. Would come back to try the other items on the menu though.

    I've had brunch at Ohiru a few times now, and it's always such a solid experience. Cozy space, warm service, and consistently good. Everything feels fresh, balanced, and well made. A great go-to spot for Japanese inspired brunch on College.

    Pretty disappointed by our service experience here today. We were all so excited to try the food and after we got seated we noticed two tables that were seated after us got their drinks before we even placed our order. Once we did place our order our drinks took another 30 minutes while the tables around us got their food. The carbonara was so unbelievably bland. I would have returned it but we were hungry and had been waiting for close to an hour for our food at this point. Thankfully not everything was a bust. The karage and waffles was really good. The miso syrup was excellent and the karage was crispy and cooked really well. My matcha latte arrived toward the end of the meal and was excellent.

    visited toronto and this place is probably one for the books! it's a cute lil japanese brunch cafe that serves the most delicious food and beverages! during this visit, i tried their karaage & waffles, okinawa brown sugar matcha latte, and maple miso hojicha latte. the karaage was cooked to the perfect crispiness, the waffles were nice and fluffy, and the provided miso syrup was sweet with a subtle miso taste! both the drinks i tried were also delicious! the matcha latte has a strong matcha taste and the hojicha latte was a combination that i never wouldve thought worked together!

    Shrimp pasta

    One of my favourite brunch spots in Toronto. It's Japanese fusion and they do it so well. The food is always delicious and flavourful. I love their hojicha latte and it's made perfectly. A few other highlights are: - creamy udon - chicken waffle - chashu benny The restaurant is small and there's not much space to wait. On weekends it can get really busy and wait can be up to 30 min to an hour. They don't take reservations either.

    Finally made it to this café I'd been wanting to check out for a while, and there were a few surprises! First, it was smaller than I expected. Second, the food was better than I anticipated. I went with the new Manchi Katsu Sando and a Matcha Kyoto Soy Latte. The sando portions were great, the bread was excellent, and the fries were a pleasant surprise--super tasty! My only gripe was the "cutlet," which turned out to be a ground meat patty rather than an actual cutlet. If I'd known, I probably would've tried one of the other two cutlet options. The matcha drink was decent, and I got to sample the karaage and mushroom pasta--both seemed pretty solid. Our server was awesome! He even mentioned that if we tagged the café in a photo, they'd comp a dessert for us. We went with a lemon/blueberry cheesecake (I think?). It wasn't totally my thing, but hey, free dessert is free dessert, right? I had my eye on the French toast, but by the end, I was way too full. Guess I'll have to save that for next time!
