Definitely the closest thing you can find in the city for authentic tonkatsu. Crispy outside and moist pork inside; the pork cutlet is cooked just right not leaving a greasy but more a crisp and clean finish on the panko. Only pitfall is the size is relatively small for one person, so this is great for lunch portions and possibly need 1-2 sides for dinner. read more

I brought two buddies outside of the town here for lunch because I wanted them to experience the diverse dining experience in Toronto. Guess what? It was a not a bad choice at all. My dining experience at Mr. Tonkatsu was generally pleasing. For the sides, the meal included cabbage salad, a bowl of rice and a bowl of miso soup. Not only that you can refill all of them, they were actually tasty. The cabbage salad with its house sesame dressing was really refreshing, and the rice was tasty, too (they used the chewy Korean rice). As for the pork cutlet - although the portion was not big, it withheld with its quality. The coat was extremely crispy, and the meat inside of it was juicy. On top of the special Tonkatsu sauce, it was really satisfying. Lastly, I really, really appreciate Mr. Tonkatsu's hygiene. Before I left, I took a look at the kitchen counter & bar, and I saw how they prepared the meat. The sections were all well organized, and the meat looked really fresh. I felt really happy to have the meal there just by acknowledging this fact. I will definitely come back for Mr. Tonkatsu's weekend specials (the burgers). I am excited about it. (One interesting thing about this restaurant is that it seems the people work there are Korean. I thought they are Japanese haha.) read more

Came here for dinner with friend and fellow Yelper Teresa H. She mentioned that she liked Mr. Tonkatsu so I decided to give it a shot even though all my friends know I'm not a fan of fried chicken or meat in general (crazy I know). When we got there, it was still pretty early for dinner so we were seated right away. Teresa mentioned the menu changed a bit and I had a craving for soba noodles so I got a pork tenderloin katsu with soba. Ok, I could have went without the soba because it is quite a lot of food. The soba was plain in soup and some seaweed sprinkled on top but I still enjoyed it. I really enjoyed the dressing and cabbage and miso soup as well. You can ask for unlimited refills for cabbage, miso and rice but seriously I don't know who could eat so much! My katsu itself was okay - expected since I'm not a super huge fan of fried meat but hey, I gave it a chance and thought it was good. I tried a bit of Teresa's porkloin and cheese katsu and it was very nice. I also ordered a Japanese tea ($2). It wasn't necessary because they give you lemon and water but it was necessary for me to help digest all the food I ate lol. Everything was a bit steep for me - $23 with tax and tip. A bit much for a solo dinner. I did enjoy it but it's probably one of those places I'd go with friends or once or twice a year. read more

Good food, excellent service and nice place! Lots of choices for katsu. I ordered the chicken katsu with cheese and porkloin katsu with cheese. It comes with free refill of cabbage salad which by the way is really refreshing and I had 2 bowls with their house salad sauce. Also free refill of rice and miso soup. The server recommended the honey butter crispy chicken which is also very good. Taste a little spicy which is just right for me. I will definitely come back.

I went there randomly and choose the Sirloin katsu set. I came in around 5pm and was seated immediately. The place was clean but definitively small. I sat at the kind of bar in the back of the restaurant. The Sirloin was very crispy. The miso soup and the cabbagewere perfect side dishes in the katsu set. I just found the menu on the internet and realized that the soup, cabbage and rice were refillable. However, the superstar of this meal was the dipping sauce with the grounded sesame seeds. Right as I left, there was a huge line up to outside of the restaurant. Luck of the draw! read more

Came with a girlfriend in the evening, and despite it being prime dinner time, we were able to be seated relatively quickly. The menu is very straight forward, and let me tell you, if you don't want tonkatsu, then you turn around and leave. While there are some non-katsu items, almost everyone comes here for that one thing.The katsu sets come with your choice of battered meat, as well as bottomless miso soup, rice, and cabbage salad. We tried the pork loin and chicken katsu, and were not disappointed. The katsu batter is so crunchy without being oily, while the meat manages to stay juicy and tender. This is almost some sort of witchcraft. And then there is the novel part of the meal, where you prepare your own dipping sauce. Each person is provided a dish with some sesame, and instructions to grind the seeds with a mortar and pestle, before finally adding it to the tonkatsu sauce. I must say the roasted sesame did give it a nice flavour. Restaurant was clean, service was quick, and did I mention there was a CHEESE-FILLED tonkatsu? Honestly, there isn't much to complain about, and I will definitely be back. read more

Oh, you hit the spot. If you're craving for authentic Katsu, this doesn't disappoint. We always order the pork loin Katsu, the cheesy prod loin Katsu, and the karaage chicken wings. Their Katsu sets are unlimited rice and salad. But you don't need to worry about their portion sizes. The serving sizes are very much worth your dollar(s). The Katsu is always perfectly golden fried and tender on the inside. The toasted sesame dressing is the perfect condiment to your fried piece of goodness. The crisp and freshness of the salad with the tangy and salty dressing cleanses your palate getting it ready for another perfect bite. Pay a visit and you won't regret it. Never fails to satisfy your hungry belly. One suggestion though - please add desserts to your menu. You never know how much this can boost your sales. read more

I like to eat katsu whenever it's on the menu, and there was such a great selection here. There's standard katsu, but also katsu with cheese. The atmosphere is clean and neat, good for small groups. The service is very friendly and FAST. If you're a katsu fan, you NEED to come here. Never tried katsu? Do you like Japanese food? Yes? You need to eat here.

I came here for a quick lunch today. And because they added more new items to their menu, I wanted to try them out. So I ordered their pork loin katsu curry. I love Japanese curry so I was really excited for that. When the food came, I noticed it was sucha HUGE portion - I couldn't finish it and ended up taking the rest to go. Firstly, the pork loin itself was cut into thick slices and it was crispy but the bottom was a bit soggy because there was curry at the bottom. The curry was okay, but I think I had better curry. Anyway, now that there's more items to choose from you have more options so I'll definitely be back again. What's funny is that the three times I've been here, I sat in the same spot lol. read more

She filled warm water for our toddler's thermos bottle and came by to ask if we needed any sauces, miso soup and cabbage. Food is awesome, too. I got the pork katsu with cheese with extra meaf to share and the batter was very crispy and fluffy. Meat was tender and thin - with melted cheese inside it is so delicious!

This place is essentially perfect! Took a while before I finally got to try this place after seeing great reviews online. Rare to find a restaurant dedicated to tonkatsu in Toronto. This place gets it right. I ordered the pork tenderloin tonkatsu soba set. The soba came first. While it was just plain soba, with some nori on top, it was tastey. Then, came the tonkatsu with rice, shredded cabbage, and rice. Everything was just delicious. Right down to the rice. Everything was perfection. Even the shredded cabbage felt fresh and tastey. On top of that, this place has a kickass sound system playing top 40 songs. Fast, clean, great food, and fantastic vibe. Will be coming back for more for sure!! read more

This was my second time coming to Mr. Tonkatsu. The first time I came I got the chicken cheese katsu, which tasted great! This time I decided to try something different and got the pork tenderloin katsu. The katsu was very tender, juicy, and crispy. It wasn't dry and thin at all like the typical katsu you'd eat at ayce sushi restaurants. With every order of a katsu set, you get a bowl of rice, cabbage, miso soup, and tonkatsu sauce. Before you get your food though, they gave you sesame seeds which you get to grind up yourself and will be used for the tonkatsu sauce. This is apparently the traditional way of eating tonkatsu. I love sesame seeds, so the process of doing this was fun and it made the sauce even tastier! Ok I'm gonna dedicate this entire paragraph to their salad dressing. I'm not even sure what it is. I'm guessing there's some sesame oil in it but whatever it is, it tastes BOMB. This stuff is sooo good that I can literally chug it straight out of the bottle (I didn't though). Got extra rice left? Drizzle some of that dressing and eat it. No joke. That's what I did. The salad dressing is da real MVP. The staff was nice, friendly and patient. After we finished eating, we stayed for a good 45 minutes just to chat and the staff had no problem with us doing so. read more

Once I ordered, I was hard at work grinding the sesame seeds. After my hard work (and a little bit of sweat), my meal came. I ordered the pork loin with cheese katsu since I've never tried katsu with cheese. It came on a big plate that had rice, miso soup and cabbage. All three of those are refillable. Sadly, I asked for more sesame seeds and they said no. Oh well. The miso soup was kind of watered down and had not much taste to it. Rice is rice. Cant complain there. Cabbage is cabbage although I enjoyed it with the salad dressing. The port katsu was hot and fresh while the melted cheese is in the middle of the katsu. The katsu and the katsu special sauce were definitely the real highlight of the meal. I can literally dip anything into the special sauce and eat it. If you pay by credit or debit, you have to get up and go to the counter to pay. Oh, and one last thing, awesome logo. Oink, Oink. read more

This is a great spot for deep fried pork cutlet. It's one of the few places in Toronto that actually has the little pots that let's you grind the sesame seed for the Tonkatsu sauce. It's a quite a fun little activity that keeps you busy while you wait for your food. I ordered the tenderloin tonkatsu and it was a bit too soft, I personally prefer a tonkatsu with a chew so I'd recommend the Pork Loin Katsu over the Pork Tenderloin Katsu (plus the loin is a dollar cheaper). The set is a lot of food and will definitely make you full, and the awesome thing about Mr. Tonkatsu is that the cabbage, miso soup and rice are all free for refill! read more

Have you ever had trouble deciphering the difference between tonkatsu and tonkotsu? Well, you're in luck because Mr. Tonkatsu will set you straight. It's a shrine that worships the Japanese fried pork cutlet (tonkatsu), not the milky broth of ramen (tonkotsu) that some, the unfaithful, would confuse it with. Their pig mascot dressed in Japanese garb and armed with a sword is yet another subtle hint that pork clearly is their specialty, but you are welcome to choose other fried Panko-battered cutlets (or "katsus") such as chicken, beef, or fish as part of your set. The tonkatsu sampler consists of pork sirloin and tenderloin katsus as well as chicken katsu, a great set for the indecisive. The waiter explained that the pork sirloin is the most popular katsu and also has the "softest" texture. As expected, the pork tenderloin was "firmer" but it was still quite tender in its own right. Regardless of preference, both cutlets were juicy. The chicken cutlet was on the bland side but there was a sweet and sticky sauce in a teardrop vessel to remedy that. As an added novelty, you grind your personal supply of sesame seeds with a mortar and wooden pestle to give your sauce extra flavour and aroma. The best feature of the katsu is still the crispy and far reaching deep fried Panko batter exterior. Admittedly, although tasty, the batter holds a good amount of oil. It's not as light as it could be but at least the katsu sits on a metal rack to allow excess oil to drip through and to preserve it's crispiness. Accompanying the katsu is a bowl of miso, shredded cabbage and steamed rice, sides which are all refillable. The shredded cabbage is incredibly dry and bland, perhaps to absorb all the grease from your katsu? It's a moot point though, because you end up drenching the cabbage with sesame oil dressing anyways. Nevertheless, the wait staff are friendly and attentive. Without even looking up, our waiter replenished our sauces by squirting them directly into our bowls! You can't say Mr. Tonkatsu is not dedicated to their craft but be prepared for a heavy meal. It's a relatively good option when you have a craving for fried food but it can be off-putting otherwise as everything on menu, including the appetizers, is deep fried. Unfortunately, the cabbage doesn't help.. read more

Mr Tonkatsu These guys have two locations. One on Bloor and the other Yonge st. This is our go to place when we don't know what to have. They had long line ups when they first opened, but now it's a steady flow. Location: Near the corner of Bathurst and Bloor. Just a stone throw away from the Bathurst subway station. Only a few on street parking spots. That's all because they turned Bloor st into a bike friendly street. There is a green P parking near by. During the week, I believe it's $8 from 6 PM to 7AM. 4/5 stars Atmosphere: Small place. Not much seating, be prepared to sit with people you don't know. They play very loud music, therefore hard to have a conversation. The decor look very rustic. Seats are hard, non cushion seats. That's probably how they make people leave. 4/5 stars Service: For such a small place, they service was poor. Called the server to place our order, but she said hold on a second because she wanted to place the order of the table that was seated 2 seconds before us. Well if they were ready, they would have called her. Took a few reminders about getting us water. The appetizer came 10 mins after we got our entrees. 2/5 stars Food: Fair warning to all, they mainly served deep fried food. I had pork loin with cheese. It comes with rice, miso soup, and cabbage. This is also refillable, so if you're like me and enjoys rice, bring it! The katsu sauce is tasty, but when you add crushed the sesame seeds given to you, it brings the sauce to another level. The chicken tights are also yummy. I also enjoy the pork loin with cheese in curry. This is Japanese curry, so it's not spicy. The breading is made in house, and is what makes or breaks a good katsu. 5/5 stars Price: When we this place first opened, the food was reasonably priced. But it seams like they recently raised their prices. The combos is plenty for a single person. The cost for 2 combos with 1 appetizer and 2 drinks costs us about $45 4/5 stars Overall: Since they have been open, the recipes have not changed. The consistency still the same. Great food, but if their prices go any higher, it won't be worth the price. 4/5 stars Follow me for more pictures on: Instagram: 905japes Twitter: 905Japes read more

To be honest, I wasn't a big fan of Mr. Tonkatsu: the food tasted great but I think what bothered me was the concept of the whole set. I ordered a pork tenderloin katsu which came with rice, miso soup, tonkatsu sauce and a cabbage slaw. The pork tenderloin was amazing, extremely tender and a very generous portion, I would definitely recommend paying the few dollars extra and get this over the normal pork katsu. The slaw was quite disappointing, being very dry despite the dressing provided. The miso soup tasted very generic, nothing different than the store bought ones. Half way through the meal, I wasn't able to eat anymore due to the heavy nature of the set, I was eating fried meat over carbs (rice) with a BBQ like sauce. My body was desperately calling for vegetables but the slaw was just so dry that it did not help with the situation. Overall, good for their katsu, the rest that comes with it is not great. read more

You have to give this a try if you like pork katsu!! We ordered pork katsu with cheese and the chicken katsu with cheese in curry. We also got an appetizer of the crispy chicken thigh. The katsu wasn't too greasy and the cheese just goes so well with it! It also comes with rice and miso soup on the side. The curry had a mild flavour so not too spicy. The crispy chicken tasted like Popeyes chicken but it was still good. The place is kind of small so you have to arrive early. It felt kind of crowded because we had a small table up against the wall. But if you come with a big group, you will probably get one of the big tables close to the window. read more

Small place, but big in flavour. Four of us ordered 1. pork katsu 2. tenderloin katsu(my favourite for now) 3. beef katsu and 4. pork katsu with soba. Hand-breaded cutlets were outstanding! Crispy out, tender and juicy in. They bake their own bread and make panko out of it. I was very curious and so i had to see the texture of the panko. It was like cotton candy! Too bad i didn't get to touch them... Dipping sauce with sesame seeds enhanced the rich flavour of my katsu. Tenderloin katsu is just a buck more then a regular pork katsu, but the quality and the portion is way more then just a buck. Soba wasn't a biggy. It was just a regular soba.. Felt it didn't go along with katsu. But oh well, it's a hot summer! So what. Almost forgot to mention about crispy chicken thigh appetizer! Little chewy, but very good. Perfect seasoning. Ordered them sauce on the side. The staffs were friendly and attentive which made the food tasted much better. Now i need to try their curry and cheese chicken katsu. It was very nice to refill our salad and rice at no cost. read more

This was my very first time going to Mr.Tonkatsu and I can definitely say it won't be the last time! I've never heard of Mr.Tonkatsu until my friend told me about it and it was incredible! To start off, the restaurant is quite small, but surprisingly we didn't have to wait to get seated on a Friday night. The waitress was super nice, friendly, and really cute haha! My friend and I shared the crispy chicken thigh and they were really good! I would recommend them. I got the chicken cheese katsu and if you're a cheese lover like me, you won't want to miss out on this! As you grab each piece of the chicken katsu, you see the beautiful string of cheese hanging from the chicken katsu. The chicken katsu had a lot of flavour and was fried perfectly! My friend got the chicken katsu curry and I love Japanese curry! It was really good and had a lot of flavour as well. Overall, I would definitely recommend you to go here! Really good food, great atmosphere and really cute and friendly waitresses. Also! You get unlimited soup, rice and salad when you order one of their entrees! Totally amazing and if you're like me and you like rice in your soup, order an extra bowl of rice and put it in the miso soup! Can't go wrong with that! Haha! read more

It's a nice place overall! Clean, nice service blah blah blah. Great date place for younger people. When I was there with my friend, there were a lot of couples in their 20's sitting there and chatting. The waitress was polite and she kept asking us if we were enjoying the food and if we needed anything. The deco was nice too but the place is a little squishy. The tables were quite close to one another like my friend and I were sitting pretty close to the couple next to us. Now the important part... The food!!!! It was freshly made and the sirloin steak was crunchy on the outside but a tad dry on the inside. I think it's because the meat is lean and lacked fat content (since fatty meat or muscle meat is juicer). The daikon salad was nice. Same with the dressing but the dipping sauce for the meat sucked. It tasted like a ketchup mixture with something else (slight horseradish flavour if my memories are right). Personally I don't see anything special about this place in terms of the menu and taste. The menu was quite small with identical items... Mostly fried meat. The portion is pretty small. I ordered the combo ($12) and afterwards, I was still hungry. If I were to eat until I was full, I'ld probably need to spend $30+. Price wise- not really worth it. Overall, it is a fusion place targeted towards younger people. Great for dates and just a place to sit down with someone special. - Small portion - Decent food- taste and texture wise - Small menu - Good service - nice ambience For my rating, i weighted the taste and portion size more heavily so I give it 3/5!!! read more

Fried food galore. I am a big fan of all oils and fried foods. Mr. Tonkatsu does it very well! I ordered the pork cutlet. The pretty standard and staple dish of the place. The pork was moist as well as not too oily. The way they fried it was through a healthier way with bread batter and less of the oily and aftertaste feeling which I am not a fan of. The place is small but comfy. It comes with a small soba noodle to start and the sesame grinder for fun. it sesame is to be used later for your main dish. Overall a pretty good experience! read more

Came back again because I quite enjoyed the food the first time around. I got the fish katsu which comes with a different sauce (tartar vs. the katsu sauce with sesame seeds served with the pork and chicken options). The fish was fried perfectly and the filet was light and fluffy. We also ordered the honey butter fried chicken to share between the six of us and it was delicious. Either the server or kitchen staff forgot one of the orders and as a result one of our friends had to wait much longer before he finally got his food. They apologized and gave him a can of Coke on the house which I thought was a nice touch. Service was definitely slower than last time but I wouldn't hold it against them. read more

I ABSOLUTELY loved this place. Im not usually an avid fan of japanese curry but the spoon kept moving from the plate to my mouth. Before I knew it, I finished everything. I was surprised since it was a large portion and I ate it all. I had the pork katsu with CHEEESE. A bit more expensive but... I think for the juicy quality it is worth it. Didn't know about rice miso or cabbage refills so definitely going to do that next time instead of stealing my friends cabbage. read more

I went here with friends for lunch. I ordered the pork tonkatsu with cheese and it was amazing. The tonkatsu was crispy o the outside and juicy on the inside. Let's not forget that oozing, hot cheese! My friend also got soba noodles which was very light and nicely seasoned. The tonkatsu has refills for rice, miso soup and cabbage. I loved the miso so much that I asked for three refills. The servers were all very nice and the service is fast. read more

A long line at El Furniture prompted us to visit Mr.Tonkatsu for a unique and charming dining experience. It was later in the evening, so there were only a couple other patrons dining. My friend got the chicken wings and I got the tonkatsu sirloin set. The wings were super tasty and crispy and came with an interesting dipping sauce which tasted faintly of cinnamon. I really enjoyed it. Prior to my tonkatsu set arriving, our server brought a bowl with a ridged interior filled with toasted sesame seeds and a wooden pestle. The idea is to grind these up into a powder beforehand and mix them into your dipping sauce when the meal arrives. I did so with gusto, and the aroma coming off of the sesame really excited me for my meal. The tonkatsu itself was okay, a little too tough and chewy for my liking, so I think I might like the tenderloin next time (they were sold out when I went) or the chicken. The sauce came alive with the addition of the ground sesame seeds and was very enjoyable. It was served with a bowl of sticky rice, miso soup and a small salad of shredded cabbage. According to the menu, you can get free refills of the rice, soup and salad. There are also bottles of dressing at each table for your cabbage. I think I will come back in the future to try other options as this place is pretty charming with friendly and attentive staff, but I can't see myself coming here a lot because of the limited variety of their menu. Worth checking out if you haven't already! read more

The restaurant is very small and no space for your belonging, nor your big winter jacket. The food looks ok, however the pork chop I had was way too soft to a point that you don't feel like eating meat, they must put way too much tenderizer. Service was soso, all the staff was playing around and only provide minimum service. Will I come back? Most likely not read more

Some of the best chicken katsu I've ever had. If you have a craving for some deep fried pork then this is the place for you to visit! Everyone in our group ordered the same chicken katsu and it's extremely crispy while the meat is super tender. The portion sizes are above average and the unlimited miso soup is a plus. They all come with steamed rice and cabbage salad so you'll definitely be leaving full and satisfied. Overall, everyone was pleased with their meal and the service presented at Mr. Tonkatsu. Definitely give this place a try! read more

Tried this concept in Hong Kong and was dieing to get a taste of it back home. To be fair my expectations coming in was high, but it didnt live up to Hong Kong. Sesame was not roasted, portions were small for price, and sauce was a bit sour. BUT, tonkatsu was on point, beautifully fried and rice was cooked, well. Would recommend you come and try. read more

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.

I ordered the udon carbonara. It was tasty, but a little too heavy on the bacon. (If you visit D.C., Perry's has an excellent one.) 2) Drinks: The menu has it all, but focuses on sake. They have sake sangria, which was refreshing, sake bombs, and flavored sake. They also have mocktails for the kids that come in a cat cup. 3) Service: Our server was amazing!

We ordered medium spicy for the papaya salad and it only had a slight kick. I wished the salad portion was more as it was gone pretty quickly. It comes with shrimp chips, pork rinds, and 2 small bundles of rice noodles. The dried shrimp in the salad was very chewy though, which made it a bit less enjoyable. I ended up picking them all out. We ordered spicy for the pad gra prow but it wasn't spicy at all. I think you can ask for the Thai chilis/ Thai chili fish sauce thing on the side but we decided we were fine with no spicy. Unfortunately the crispy pork was not crispy at all and was also very chewy. Overall it was still delicious! The Khao soi mightve honestly been the least favorite, but it was still good. It is on the sweeter side. The egg noodles were cooked al dente and had a nice chew. Sometimes when I get Khao soi it ends up being too heavy or creamy, but the curry for this one was thinner and easy to eat. The shrimp was the best part - super fresh and bouncy. In the end I thought the portions and quality were good. The service was also super nice, and it was impressive to see our waitress cover so many tables. The restrooms were also clean.

It said established in 1919, so we thought it's a good sign it's been in business over a century; although not this location specifically. Their history in the 20th century was that they started in Berlin, Germany in 1919, but they were a Jewish family who ended up immgrating to Israel in 1933, opening their store there, and expanded locations throughout Israel. Their history in Toronto & North America (including some in the US) is much more recent since opening in 2017. Unfortunately, my closest is New York City; none in Maryland or DC area. This location is in busy downtown Toronto. We sat outside on their big patio area as the weather was warm and could enjoy the view of the buildings, people, cars, etc. Server was friendly answering our questions.

Also I'm pretty sure while I asked for egg whites there was normal egg (i.e., eggs). If you order egg white make sure the server hears you. They screwed this up for me. This is why I'm giving it three stars -- I could have made a stink but didn't think it was necessary to do so. All in all -- I'd recommend this spot to folks but don't go there thinking the service will be great.
