First time trying this place & we really enjoyed it!…read more The portions here are HUGE. We definitely underestimated how much food we were getting and were literally hugging our stomachs by the time we left. The donkatsu was really good. The panko crust was super crispy and crunchy without feeling overly greasy, and the meat inside was tender. We also loved that you can choose your spice level, which is always a plus for us since we like a bit of a kick! Everything came out looking just as generous as it did in the photos. Definitely come hungry because the portions are no joke! Great value for the amount of food you get and a spot we'd come back to when we're craving donkatsu.

There was a bit busy when we arrived and we waited around 20 minutes for a table, the line and wait time got much longer after we sat down.

I love Katus and this is my favourite place to get it! This cozy spot has amazing food and super…read morekind staff. My favourite item to get is the cheese stick katsu, which has a good ratio of cheese and pork. Fried to be perfectly crispy and somehow not too oily, each bite is amazing. The brown sauce and cranberry sauce compliments it perfectly, and I personally enjoy the cranberry sauce as a pallet cleanser. Each katsu comes with a side of rice, corn and salad, which complement the katsu greatly. The Brown Katsu is also very good, extremely crispy and not oily at all. This one comes with 2 bug pieces of katsu and could be easily shared if you're light eaters. The brown sauce and sides (rice, corn, salad), also complement this katsu. I went on a weekday evening and it was still packed, so make sure to go early to get a spot, as they fill up quickly. But the staff were super friendly and served us quickly. I highly recommend this spot, which its big portions and delicious good!

Pleasantly surprised by this somewhat hidden gem of a Katsuya location! Although it's only a short…read moredrive away from Yorkdale, the spot is in a tiny plaza with a nondescript exterior and fairly minimalist interior. It was extraordinarily quiet when we came upon this place on a Saturday night. Nevertheless, the food was absolutely delicious and arrived piping hot and well portioned. As expected from this popular chain, the katsu was superbly crispy on the outside while still maintaining the tenderness of the meat inside. The variety they have on the menu - including various sauces, cheese options, and udon - will keep you coming back for more. The most remarkable aspect of this particular location, though, was the quality of the service. Our waitress was so attentive and sweet, patiently answering all our questions and never leaving our glasses even close to empty. We were offered free refills of the miso soup as well which was a nice touch! Highly recommended to anyone shopping at Yorkdale nearby - skip the overcrowded food courts and mall restaurants and head on over here!

I've been wanting to try Hanyang Jokbal for a while, especially after hearing it was voted one of…read morethe best Korean restaurants in Toronto, and I can definitely see why! It was our first time trying jokbal (pork knuckle), so we were recommended by the staff to go with the Half & Half to get a bit of everything. We ordered the garlic jokbal and original bossam. The jokbal was super tender with a nice savoury, garlicky flavour, while the bossam (pork belly) was probably my favourite. It was thick-cut, yet really tender with a mild savoury taste that went so well with the wraps and banchan. The unlimited banchan and fresh wraps were a nice touch, and there were so many different combinations to try with the pork. We also got the DIY Seasoned Rice Balls, which were fun to put together and had a nice savoury flavour, along with the Seafood Pancake, which was crispy on the outside with a soft, savoury centre. Also want to mention the GENEROUS amount of seafood in the pancake, which I really appreciated and made the cost so worth it. The rose tteokbokki was creamy, slightly spicy, and had that comforting sweet-and-spicy flavour I love. Overall, everything was flavourful, fresh, and really satisfying. Definitely a great first introduction to jokbal, and I'd come back again!

Jokbal is a unique traditional Korean feast…read more Hanyang Jokbal in North York specializes in Korean braised pork hock. Hanyang was the prior name of Seoul, where this dish gained popularity. The Half & Half platter ($44) featured their original jokbal and our pick of garlic bossam. Both braised meats were soft with savory grilled flavor, while the jokbal skin had a gelatinous texture. Pork hock isn't exactly my preferred cuts but these had no gaminess; a slight disappointment was the chunky cuts instead of slices. The meal started with a salty bean sprout soup that helped to cleanse the palate. Lettuce wraps & garnishes such as kimchi, jalapeño, scallions were provided to balance out the meaty flavour. Seafood pancake ($24) was crisp and contained plenty of scallions and imitation crabmeat. For some fun, our party added several orders of DIY Seasoned Rice Balls ($12) which came with a variety of ingredients to mix using the provided plastic gloves. The tasty rice balls were easy to make with furikake, nori, mayo, sesame & tobiko. It was so easy even kids could make them. The interior became busy on our weekend visit, in a typical Korean restaurant atmosphere that felt authentic and welcoming. The staircase down to the basement washroom needs a clean and the utensils also required a replacement. The meal itself was tasty with portions large enough for sharing, making it a worthwhile family meal despite a few misses. It's the original of 5 locations now in Canada. Skip it or hit it? Even if pork hock isn't your thing, it's a spot we've enjoyed for the occasional meal.

I saw they had a sign out front for their $10 daily deal cash n carry so I went in. I got the cheese pork katsu that came with shredded cabbage, rice, miso soup and katsu sauce. The katsu was fresh and crispy exactly like I hoped! It went so well with the steamed rice. The side sauce was not as creamy like a curry sauce which I would have preferred. The shredded cabbage had a bland taste but it came with a little sauce. The miso soup was good. Overall I loved the amount of food for the price! The service was quick and friendly and the place had lots of tables to sit at. But since this daily deal was cash n carry I had to eat elsewhere. But I'm definitely coming back!

My first time at Fat Ninja Bite, and it will not be the last…read more Fat Ninja Bite is tucked into a small, secluded plaza but it such a gem of a place that it deserves more business. Service is super friendly and the restaurant itself is very clean and modern. There's also a window table with several high chairs, spacious enough for a handful of people. However, I did opt for take-out for this order. If you are ordering at the restaurant, make sure to pick up your sauces and utensils on the table by the counter! I've been to several katsu places such as Brown Donkatsu and Katsuya, but this one is at the top of the list for sure.I ordered the Dark Meat Chicken Katsu on rice, which is my usual order at these places. The chicken katsu is super crispy and tender - especially with the sauce that is generously drizzled onto it. Each order also comes with a free curry mayo, which is HEAVENLY when paired with the katsu! The serving size is also super generous, I couldn't finish it all even though I was pretty hungry. It comes with a side of coleslaw, although I'm not much of a coleslaw fan so I kind of just skipped it. The rice is perfectly fresh and hot, not at all mushy. I will definitely be coming back to try their cheese katsu on rice at a later date. Definitely do not sleep on Fat Ninja Bite, this place will perfectly curb your katsu cravings!

In short, it's not worth it; it didn't live up to my expectations, and I wouldn't recommend it.

The flavour is still great but my meat was very tough. They didn't fall off the bone at all and it was hard to eat the meat around the bone. I was quite disappointed as I was very looking forward to this meal. I had the individual serving of the gamjatang but my friends got the pot. I would say the pot ended up being a better experience as the pot kept on boiling and eventually softening the meat. The service was great though, they were friendly. Also don't forget to bring cash if you can!
