    Mochi
    Sean K.

    We visited Tokyo Kitchen during the big snowstorm after a friend recommended it. The menu looked reasonable, so I was excited to give it a try. It's on the smaller side, which is great if you're indecisive! We shared the Curry Udon, Salmon & Scallop Don, and Corn Creamy Korokke. Everything was decent, though I've had more flavourful curry udon elsewhere. They did have actual wasabi as well. The korokke was the highlight--crispy on the outside and creamy inside, almost like a deep-fried corn chowder. I finished the meal with a mochi, which was a nice little treat. Service was pleasant and quick, and the prices were reasonable for downtown. Overall, a solid spot for a casual Japanese meal!

    Shrimp croquette
    Carol Y.

    First visit to Tokyo Kitchen at the recommendation of a friend. The standout items for me were the pork katsu and salmon & scallop sashimi. The pork was fried so well, and it wasn't dry at all on the inside, nor was it covered in sauce. The sashimi was also quite fresh! The bento boxes might not look like large portions, but trust me, it is very filling, especially with a generous portion of tempura. Their tempura batter reminded me more of fish & chips I would say, in that it wasn't as light/panko-flaky as most tempura that I've tried before. My friend opted for the shrimp croquette (again, fried to perfection and super creamy inside) and the sukiyaki udon, which looked so comforting on a chillier night. Service was attentive, with our server coming by regularly to refill our water and check in. The inside of the restaurant was fairly tidy/clean - including the washroom, which is a huge bonus for me.

    Katsudon

    Lowkey a hidden gem, because Tokyo Kitchen is the place to be! What we ordered: Chicken Katsu Curry Katsudon - Chicken Cutlet on rice with egg & onion Dishes are around $15 each and the service was efficient and our server was friendly! They have bento sets on the menu as well and I'm def trying that out next time

    Takoyaki

    Me and my friends went for lunch after having rehearsals, and this was an awesome lunch spot to go to! The prices were very good for the amount of food we got, and I love that they also served japanese sweets! I ordered the omelette curry and it was so good; the curry was the right level of spice and the omelette wasn't overcooked. I will definitely say get the stewed beef with it because the stewed beef was so soft and had alot of flavour. The service was quick, and the servers were so polite, I will definitely come back here again. The ambiance of the restaurant definitely gave like your typical Japanese eatery with the way the front of the restaurant was set up; I do wish they had a bigger place though as the bathrooms were in a bit of a tight space.

    The food here is actually really damn good and filling. The food was also very fresh and felt clean.

    Dango

    We came here for dinner and we were seated after a short wait. I would probably make a reservation if there were more than 2 of us next time as there aren't too many seats. We ordered takoyaki and chicken nanban as appetizers. I ordered the pork bento box and my boyfriend got the pork katsu curry with an omurice. The bento came with miso soup, tempura, salad, and sashimi. I really enjoyed the bento box and the sashimi tasted very fresh. We also had dango for dessert which was also very good. I would love to come back to try their donburi and other appetizers!

    Bento box
    Shaun L.

    Solid place for a bento box, relax and good amount of food for a reasonable price. I wouldn't go out of my way to come here if you are out of town, but if I was here for a while or lived locally, this would be a regular spot if I wanted to feel satiated. We got the pork katsu bento which comes with rice, salad, miso soup, sashimi, and shrimp & vegetable tempura. The miso soup was solid, I didn't bother touching the salad knowing the task at hand. I was nervous if the sashimi at first but it was fresh and good. The scallops were large and sweet. The tempura and katsu were fried and strained so it didn't sit in a pool of its own grease. The pork was cooked perfectly, crispy on the outside and moist inside. If you are somehow still hungry, there is a gelato place next to the restaurant to hit up for a nice dessert before you roll back home.

    Salmon and Ikura Don
    David Y.

    Tokyo Kitchen definitely has a warm home-cooked meal feel to it. We went here for dinner and got: - Salmon Saikyo Bento: While the salmon was a bit small for the price, it was grilled to perfection. Side tempura had a good coating-to-shrimp ratio and sashimi was fresh. - Chicken Karaage Curry: Good fry to the karaage (tasty and not oily), super generous curry sauce. Added cheese and it helped break up the monotony. - Mitarashi Dango and Kashiwa Mochi: Loved these sticky desserts. Both were chewy delights. Prices were generally reasonable. Service was friendly and quick. Place was spacious and well lit. My wife loved it so much she got salmon ikura donburi delivered the next day (which had a generous serving of salmon and ikura). So looks like we'll definitely be coming back for more!

    Chicken Katsu Curry (15.90)
    Bosco H.

    4.5 imo but we'll round up :). Came here on a Thursday night so it wasn't really busy. The storefront doesn't actually look that big but there's actually a lot of seating in there. Ordered the Chicken Katsu Curry (15.90), Shrimp Creamy Korokke (3.90), and to my surprise that they had - a glass of Asahi Black (8.90). I actually really enjoyed everything. The katsu was cooked just right, portions were on the large side, comes with a little salad. The korokke was probably my favorite thing I ordered. It's kind of fried to the texture of the katsu but is really creamy inside, quite nice! Food overall I'd probably give it a 4 but extra 0.5 for Asahi black offering. Very good and decent value for what you get!

    Recently discovered this place and it's now my go to restaurant for home cooked Japanese food. This time I got the takoyaki and karaage curry. Service was great as usual with the price being quite reasonable.

    A friend introduced me to this place not too long ago and it was my first visit, but I'm already excited to go back! We came in on a Friday evening after work and it was pretty busy with almost all tables taken. What I had: - Chicken Karaage Dinner Set (Rice, Salad, Side Dish, Miso Soup) Final Thoughts: The restaurant is at a convenient location between Bloor and Wellesley stations with polite staff, good food, and I look forward to returning to try more of the menu.

    Soba and assorted tempura
    Richmond O.

    Past by here multiple times as from the front it was never anything "special". This was easily a big mistake. Skimmed through the menu and saw many familiar Japanese dishes so decided to give it a shot. Opted for chicken curry, soba with assorted tempura, and original and corn kuroke. Curry was well portioned and extremely flavourful. The chicken katsu was meaty, crunchy, airy and light which complimented the curry well. Soba was wheaty as you'd expect and the tempura was crispy and airy. Both kuroke had an excellent shell but definitely the corn was the better of the 2. Not sure how I have been walking past this place without stopping and now I can foresee myself being back quite regularly!

    Found this place as I was in the area, seems pretty popular for after work/ school Tried the BBQ-eel bento which was pretty nice but I am not sure if it's filling enough portion wise. The curries are probably more substantial. I would revisit to try other dishes.

    I had a good experience at Gyubee Japanese Grill on Dundas. The restaurant was busy when I went, so…read moreit had a lively feel, but it also made the meal feel a little rushed at times. The meat quality was better than I expected for an all you can eat BBQ place. Some cuts were more memorable than others, but most of what we ordered cooked well and had good flavor. I also liked the small sides and sauces because they helped balance out the meal instead of making it feel too heavy. Service was friendly and fairly quick, especially considering how busy the restaurant was. There were a few moments where we had to wait for refills or extra items, but nothing that really hurt the experience. Overall, it is a good spot for a casual BBQ meal with friends. I would come back again, but probably at a less busy time.

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!

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.

What I really liked was that they had 3 options of warm water - Hot, Warm, and room temperature. Instinctively I knew this place cared about the clients digestive health. Though I'm sure if you asked for ice water, they would accommodate (my friend asked for no sauces in her maki roll). The fishes were plated very pretty and because it's sushi of course it tasted good. But I was surprised at the level of wasabi that was plated. Cleared up my sinuses for 30 seconds. The establishment is very clean and bright and a great place to head to if you're in a rush.

The space itself leans more modern and clean rather than the typical dark, cozy izakaya vibe, which I actually didn't mind. It felt comfortable, not too loud, and easy to settle into for a slow dinner. We ordered a mix of small plates to share, and everything came out looking nicely put together. The aburi-style salmon sushi was one of the highlights for me.. lightly seared, with a soft texture and just enough flavor on top without being overwhelming. The tuna tataki was also fresh and clean, simple but well done. Some of the fried dishes leaned a bit richer with the creamy sauces, but they were still enjoyable, especially if you're in the mood for something a little more indulgent. The beef fried rice was straightforward but satisfying, one of those dishes that's easy to keep going back to between everything else. Drinks were a nice touch too.. refreshing, nicely presented, and added to the overall experience. Overall, this feels like a solid spot for a casual night out with friends.
