    Came here for a traditional Japanese curry lunch. They had all the traditional curry dishes that I miss from my time in Japan. My wife was tempted by their Gyu Don bowl and the Beef Sukiyaki Nabe. However, she decided on the Gyu Curry and I chose the King Curry. Since the King Curry serves two we shared both dishes. Such a great decision. Sauce was perfect. Meat was juicy and crispy. Even the rice was "super awesome" as per my wife's review. Highly recommend visiting this restaurant if you are visiting Toronto or if you live here. We would definitely come on a regular basis if we did live in Toronto.

    If you are a katsu lover, this is a must go. The meat is fried to perfection and there are many sauces and ways to eat it, owners are Japanese and cooking is authentic

    This Japanese curry rice is decent, but the meat is a bit tough and not really to my taste. 呢間日本咖喱飯不過不失,但啲肉都係偏柴,唔係太啱我口味。

    this is my second time at gyugyuya - the first time was awhile back. I did notice that the portions now aren't as generous as before, but it still did fill me up. the curry definitely isn't as flavourful as I would have liked, but it wasn't bad. I got the gyu cheese curry. I'd say I liked this one more than the ton katsu curry. their katsu tasted too dry for my liking. definitely can't miss this restaurant with their yellow painted interior.

    A homey comfort food We went here after Jays game. I have not tried this place for a while, so we decided to give this place a visit. The portion was smaller than what I remembered. The food is kinda average and homey (I can cook something similar at home). the taste is somewhat basic. I would recommend if you have never tried Japanese style curry and want to give it a try.

    The restaurant itself is spacious for the amount of people that it can fit. The ambiance is really nice because it fits the idea of eating fried Japanese food; the music is always nice and the tables are always clean. Service is also very fast and the waitresses always check up on how you're doing, and will always be ready to refill your water! I had the gyu curry with chicken kaarage on the side; this is always my favorite dish to get. It comes super quickly, the amount of food is alot for one person which is awesome. The kaarage is always the right amount of crispy and juicy, though I do hope that the gyu curry had more beef on it but you also have the boiled egg and the shredded cabbage as well. I love eating lunch here all the time, I am definitely excited to try another dish!

    Craving Japanese Curry so we went to Gyugyuya by Dundas! We got the Gyu Curry, their signature dish. It's beef slices with sliced egg and curry at the bottom Their Chicken Katsu was pretty decent as well! Easy & quick service if you're ever in the area Usually a takeout spot, but there's plenty of tables around. Food: 8/10 Service: 9/10 Ambiance: 7/10

    Food was delicious and service was quick and nice, but if you are craving generic Japanese curry then this place may not be it as their curry is more unique. I didn't really taste too much curry flavor and it seemed more like a beef-broth based brown sauce. If you can overlook the difference, the food honestly is delicious and hits some junk food cravings. I was super estatic about their aji furai (fried horse mackerel) and their korokke. My sisters and I definitely enjoyed this place.

    Gyugyuya - Deep-fried Chicken Curry with Rice
    Mike H.

    Curry is ideal for this time of the year! Gyugyuya opened years ago as one of GTA's first Japanese curry houses. To this day, it's yellow theme is synonymous with the food. They've got solid Gyu Don too with beef slices simmered in sweet soy sauce on rice. Chicken Katsu Curry has a perfectly deep-fried crispy chicken on rice and a thick layer of rich Japanese curry sauce. A perfectly hearty lunch meal, tempered with shredded cabbage & egg. What's there not to like! Look for the huge cow head logo & the bright yellow exterior, you can't miss it!

    I'm a big fan of Japanese food, especially Japanese curry! I ordered a few plates here, including the pork cutlet with curry and rice with beef. Honestly, it was very comforting food, and I enjoyed it a lot. The prices were very reasonable, and I'll definitely be coming back!

    Absolute go to spot for curry and katsu in Toronto. Surprisingly the kaarage was absolutely amazing. Fast service and no frills restaurant means that this is a staple weeknight meal.

    Came here with a friend after going festival hopping and we were looking for something that would be filling since we were starving. We both decided to order the gyu cheese curry because we figured the mixture of meat, rice, and cheese would do the trick. The curry sauce, beef, and rice were good, but the cheese ruined the dish for me. It just tasted burnt to me, and I couldn't mask the taste of it in the curry. I would be willing to come back here for the other dishes, but definitely not this one again. Staff here were nice, polite, and friendly, and service was quick.

    Chicken Karaage 5pcs

    Here's my recommendation: For best value, get the Gyu Gyu King Curry. For a curry meal, I recommend the Aji Hurai Curry or Gyu Curry. For a non-curry option, the Oyako Don offers a good amount of chicken. I visited Gyugyuya with friends for lunch. The restaurant's bright yellow exterior and bold bull logo make it hard to miss, but the interior didn't feel very inviting. Their menu focuses on rice dishes with curry. Here's what we tried: Gyu Gyu King Curry: A massive dish featuring pork, chicken, and shrimp cutlets. Perfect for sampling everything the restaurant has to offer in one go. Gyu Curry: My favorite. Thinly sliced beef served over rice with curry sauce. Simple but delicious, with just the right amount of flavor. Aji Hurai: Surprisingly good! The deep-fried horse mackerel fillet was light and fluffy--a refreshing change from the heavier fried meats. Oyako Don: A safe, no-frills option. Boiled chicken, egg, and a sweet-salty sauce served over rice. Chicken Karaage: Deep-fried chicken served with a lemon wedge and mayo. The texture was soft and crunchy, but the pieces came out a bit too dark for my liking. Nabeyaki Curry: A slight letdown. It had too much rice and not enough toppings for my taste. The service was attentive, and the restaurant was clean, including the restroom downstairs. While the curry tasted authentic, it was a bit on the mild side. It's a decent spot for an affordable Japanese meal. I'd return if I'm in the area and craving some Japanese comfort food.

The I Heart Butter Tart Concrete ($6.49) that I ordered was a little too much for myself. I did decide to go through and finish the ice cream / sundae just so I don't have anything to go. The interior of the place was properly though out and well designed. Self order stations are available to order from and the ordering interface is one of the better systems I have seen. When I dined in early afternoon on a weekday it was a rather slow day. There were a couple of Shake Shack employees constantly roaming about the premises ready to attend to any customer request. 1 such employee was thoughtful enough to serve me and a group of other customers some water. I have mixed feelings about the bathroom setup. Yes, it is clean and there were a few toilet rooms available, but it requires a code to be entered prior to using. The door screen shows as vacant but an employee still needs to give out the 4 digit code needed to access the toilets. I also found some issues with the water faucet sensors. It is inconsistently picking up my gestures resulting in an unreliable and unsteady flow of running water when I was washing my hands.

I couldn't let the opportunity pass. The dining space? Bright, clean, inviting. Modern but casual. Off to a genuinely good start. And then... things went south. I ordered the peri-peri chicken with two sides. The wait was excruciating. Not just long--confusing. Every single person who ordered after me was eating while I sat there wondering if my ticket got lost in another country. When the chicken finally arrived, I was stunned--and not in a good way. Easily the smallest leg/thigh combo I've ever seen. Yes, I'm used to USA-sized, GMO-filled chickens, but I've eaten plenty overseas. This wasn't "European portioning." This was kiddie-sized. Flavor? Underwhelming. Forgettable. Nothing that made me pause, nothing that lingered. For a place built on peri-peri heat and personality, this was shockingly flat. I can get chicken with more punch at my local Grocery & Go. The mac and cheese had decent texture--the breadcrumbs did their job--but flavor-wise? Completely bland. Zero soul. The fries? Although well seasoned, we're like warm. Overhyped things rarely deliver, and Nando's sadly fits the bill. Massive disappointment is the phrase that keeps coming to mind

The reason they have "express" in their store name is that the food is usually ready within 2 mins. During busy times, you have to wait until they get to your order.

A2: Shrimp Fresh Roll 4 pcs ($11.99). M1: Assorted Thap Cam Banh Mi ($8.99). P1: Special Beef Noodle Soup/Pho ($17.99). C2: Grilled Chicken and Fried Egg on Broken Rice ($15.99).

They forgot to tell us that extra condiments can be found on a counter near the washroom. There is plenty of indoor tables, most of them are for two people. There is free WiFi. The restaurant is wheelchair accessible. There is one gender-neutral washroom, which is also wheelchair accessible. There is paid neighbourhood street parking. Review 2025-230
