    Zenbu Katsu - assortment of pork katsu
    Elaine S.

    I had a fantastic experience at Moru! We visited for dinner and were blown away by the quality and presentation. We ordered the Beef Gyukatsu Set and the Pork Zenbu Katsu. Both were freshly breaded and prepared to absolute perfection. Each meal arrived on a beautiful tray complete with a bowl of rice, fresh salad, and miso soup. A highlight was the mini grill provided with the beef cutlet--it was so cute and allowed me to finish cooking the meat exactly to my liking! The Zenbu Katsu is a must-try if you're indecisive like me. It's an assortment of their entire pork lineup: 1 rosu, 1 hire, 1 cheese katsu, 1 menchi katsu, 1 ebi, and 3 veggie katsu. I love that they offer this "taster" platter; it's a very creative way for diners to experience the variety of the menu in one sitting. The pricing was very reasonable for the amount and quality of food provided. Location & Tip: The restaurant is in a great spot right outside the Yonge & Eglinton subway station. Just a heads-up for first-timers: we got a bit lost and accidentally walked into the residential building entrance first! Make sure to look for the commercial entrance--the restaurant is located on the second floor.

    Went when this place was brand new. It replaced another Japanese spot with a similar name. It's upstairs so you'll need to head up the stairs from the condo building. They have a good selection of beef, chicken, pork and seafood katsu which are very large plates. But my favorite here is definitely the Gidori Udon ($21). Extremely good broth with chicken and fish cake. I know they're known for katsu but wow, that udon is delicious. Good service and as its relatively new, it's a nice modern vibe in there.

    5 stars for the food and 4 stars for the atmosphere! Delicious katsu, can expect a line so it's best to reserve ahead of time! It can also be a bit confusing to find, it's located upstairs but you have to walk through what looks like an office building to get to the second floor. It's not too big so expect it to be a bit cramped during busier periods. The udon was delicious, it had a great chew to it. The highlight was their katsu and the pickled veggies. Only downside is that they don't have unlimited refills for rice, soup and salad. They only allow one refill.

    A group of four of us came for dinner. The restaurant was clean and spacious. Service was excellent as the servers regularly checked on us to ensure everything was going well. The food was great! You could tell that they take pride in the preparation and presentation of the dishes. Also, the oil is clean, and so the food comes out a beautiful light golden colour and not super dark like some other places. Our favourite dishes were the Katsu Sando and the Zenbu Katsu, which included: 1 Rosu, 1 Hire, 1 Cheese katsu, 1 Menchi katsu, 1 Ebi and 3 Vegetable katsu. The Crab Cream Croquette was also really good. Super crispy on the outside and very creamy on the inside. It was a good thing that we ordered 1 side dish, 2 mains and 1 Zenbu Katsu as we couldn't finish everything. If I'm in the area again, I would definitely come back.

    Came here to enjoy some elevated Katsu. This was more than I expected and we all really enjoyed it. The portions were bigger than we anticipated so we felt a bit stuffed. The service was amazing, waiters were very polite and patient. They were playing anime music the entire time we were there.. which was fun! Would gladly come back here to try other dishes from the menu!

    Stopped by Moru for a weekend lunch to deal with a serious tonkatsu craving and it turned out to be a solid choice. Given the mixed opinions I heard from friends and the fact that Zenbu Katsu offers a vegetable katsu I cannot have due to a soy allergy, I kept it simple for a first visit. I went with the Rosu Katsu and added a Cheese Katsu on the side. Overall execution was right on point. Everything felt properly prepped and fried with care, and the variety of condiments actually made sense instead of feeling like an afterthought. The presentation and structure immediately reminded me of places like Saboten. The Cheese Katsu was especially well done, nicely melted inside with a clean crunch outside. If I am in the area and do not feel like driving up to Cotolet, this would easily be the go to options. Service was friendly and helpful without hovering. The only thing that stood out was texture consistency. The Cheese Katsu came out crispy, while the Rosu Katsu leaned a bit soggy, which was unexpected given how well everything else was executed. That said, kitchens have off moments, and it did not take away from the overall experience. I enjoyed it enough that I am genuinely curious about their gyukatsu next time. After being let down by Kyoto Katsugyu recently, I am quietly optimistic this might do it better.

    So to begin, Moru Katsu grand opening was on April 4th, 2025. Moru Katsu is located on the second floor. I highly recommend to take the stairs because the elevator you must take the left one and press M instead of level 2. The restaurant is located on the 2nd floor. As a first timer, I think the Zenbu Katsu is a good option because you get to try a bit of everything, tofu Katsu (hard tofu), Ebi (shrimp) Katsu, pumpkin, Zucchini, pork loin and pork fillet. I prefer the pork loin over the pork fillet as the pork was marinated better. I did order a separate Ebi because I like shrimp. The minced cutlet (Manchu) was flavourful and tasty with bits of carrots inside. The Katsu Don, I find the egg on the salty side. Overall, worth to check it out.

    **3.5 stars**. Came here on a Friday at around 5pm and we pretty much had the place to ourselves. For some reason, the reso time on Fridays only goes up to 5pm on their website, but rest assured that you'll still get a seat without resos. The restaurant is located on the second floor so highly recommend to take the stairs. The place felt very modern and the staff was really nice. My partner and I got the Zenbu to try everything as well as the Ebi Katsu. The Ebi looked absolutely beautiful, but it was an insane mess to eat. It basically crumbles everywhere once you bite into it, but the shrimp flavour was not bad. From the Zenbu plate, I really liked the Hire and the veggie tempura (sweet potato and tofu). The cheese and regular katsu was pretty average. Not the best that I've tasted. I thought the price was decent for what you get and the presentation is very instagram worthy. I will probably not be back unless they have new menu items.

    Ebi katsu with mini udon instead of rice

    The shrimp katsu has a pretty presentation but it's hard to eat. Not that flavourful/delicious either. But I liked Hire (pork) katsu (very soft) and Tori (chicken) katsu that other people got. I would go back to try their katsu sando.

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!

    Having been to the other Hana Don location in North York multiple times, I was delighted when they…read moreopened a new location in downtown. 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.

The ambience of the restaurant is chill, plenty of seating. It can get loud when it's full, but that's the vibe. I was stuck between the sweet shrimp bowl and the uni bowl.... I think i like the uni/ikura/scallops combo a lot more than the sweet shrimp. I love the taste of the rice bowls! absolutely will come back in my next trip to Toronto!

We got a bunch of dishes to share and overall liked most things but some things (like the oyster) unfortunately didn't hit as well. Wagyu - thin slices but very tender and very flavorful with the cheese - surprised by how well the flavor combo worked out. Tofu - easily one of my fave agedashi tofu. Huge tofu slices with very chewy outer texture, a bit gelatinous . Really went well with the sauce and toppings Carbonara - nice chewy texture to the udon, not too soft and not too firm. The sauce was nice and creamy. Not as truffley as I thought it would be, wish it was a little more but it was still pretty good Oyster - least favorite of all the dishes we got today. It was a bit sour and the cheese felt like it didn't really help the flavor profile of the oysters. It was super oily from the cheese, felt like it was drowning in cheese/oil flavor Cod - it looks good but something is lacking, maybe in taste? Feel like maybe the marinade did not penetrate enough. The texture is still nice and soft , with a crisp skin . Also was a bit too oily for our liking, compared to other miso cod we have had. It was also a relatively smaller piece of cod. Overall, the appetizers were really good! The oyster and cod were a bit disappointing. Would come back for the carbonara and the other appetizers mentioned though!
