    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.

The quality of the meat stood out right away--tender, well-marinated, and easy to cook at the table without overthinking it. The short rib and beef slices were probably my favorites, with a really nice balance of flavor and texture. I also appreciated the variety of side dishes. Nothing felt like filler--everything complemented the main dishes nicely, especially the rice and small appetizers that kept things interesting between rounds. The atmosphere is lively but not overwhelming, and the service was attentive considering how busy it gets. It's definitely the kind of place you go with friends, take your time, and enjoy the whole experience. Would come back when I'm craving something fun and reliable.

The beef was my favorite -- thin, tender, and cooked just right. Pork belly wrapped in lettuce with sauce was tasty, and lamb was a little tricky to grill but still flavorful. Seafood isn't the best for grilling -- shrimp and squid didn't have much flavor, and salmon and clams were okay. Veggies were solid though -- zucchini and mushrooms were cooked just right, and the grilled pineapple was sweet and delicious. Edamame was fine, takoyaki mostly batter but cute and tasty. Desserts were adorable -- caramel pudding, coconut, and banana popsicles were fun to try. The vibe is cozy but lively, perfect for couples. Grilling together was actually really fun -- taking turns, sharing, and coordinating made it feel like a little team activity. Totally enjoyed the experience, and it's a really playful, interactive way to enjoy Japanese BBQ!

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.

    Looks like they have gone through some changes with their menu and offerings…read more When we first came the menu focused on donburi's. While they still do this they now have introduced a mini buffet of sides and desserts. If you order a rice bowl the mini buffet is included. If you only want the mini buffet it's $20.00. Because of this all the prices have gone up. Price range of rice bowls start at 21.00 and go up depending on your toppings. What you can find at the mini buffet: Rice Miso soup Takoyaki Potato Croquettes Salads Variety of pickled vegetables ie: radish, cucumber and kimchi Orange wedges Ice cream - green tea and vanilla Quality of the kimchi, cucumber and radish was disappointing, lacking flavour. Someone at the table went with a chicken karaage donburi and the portion of chicken and rice were very generous. The tempura donburi was a little disappointing. The vegetables included were all root based (pumpkin and sweet potato) with a couple of pieces of mushroom. It would have been nice to have zucchini and broccoli to be included in the mix. Regardless the portion was generous. Not sure the mini buffet is worth it though. So again...not quite a 4 but a little better than a 3.

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. It's not overly traditional, but it's easygoing, shareable, and comfortable.. the kind of place you'd come back to when you just want good food and a relaxed atmosphere.

The menu is set up to where you pick the entree and then what type of protein you want out of pork loin, chicken, fish, cheese, and sweet potato cheese. I settled on the sweet chili katsu. A piece of chicken arrived on a plate accompanied with rice and shredded cabbage. The chicken was breaded in a light panko like crumb and was half covered in the sweet chili sauce. I ate a couple of pieces and the crisp texture and flavor was wonderful. I had a bite of rice and when I got to the cabbage to my dismay I found a long piece of hair in it. I immediately lost my appetite and all I could think about was how great the two bites of chicken was. I gave up the plate and showed the staff what I found. They offered another plate a couple of times and after I declined a refund was issued. Katsuya. sucks for serving me one of the best pieces of breaded chicken in my life with hair in the food. I'm struggling to hold back the tears now as I write. I did get to try the parmesan fries which were ok. I also tasted the udon which is not one of their stronger dishes. This probably would have been five stars had it not been for the hair. I know this happens on the rare occasion but probably shouldn't if hair nets are worn. If you do try out this place, expect great katsuya.
