Large portion of dish and I like the shredded cabbage-tastes light and very healthy. Very authentic Japanese fried chicken and steamed sticky rice. Staff is friendly-She knows things and greet you with a smile. read more

Mr.Tonkatsu - Menu - Japanese Near Me - Toronto, Ontario

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

Perhaps this is blasphemous, but I come here for the fried chicken! My faves are the spicy saucy wings, and I recently tried and surprisingly loved the sprinkled friend chicken, with honey butter flavour! That being said, the tonkatsu is also amazing, even better than some I've had in Japan. Meat is tender and coating is crispy and light, not greasy at all! The side salad is great with their house dressing. Don't leave without trying the soba noodles! The broth is so flavourful, it's one of the best things on the menu. Yum! read more

Great tonkatsu, reminds me of Japan! This is a great place to eat by myself or with a friend. Great food and not at all expensive. The service seems to be hit or miss. But I do enjoy the place read more

Mr. Tonkatsu is A-Ok. There was nothing wrong with the service, we were seated quickly on a weekend afternoon for lunch (just two of us - the restaurant is quite small), but the menu and the quality of food didn't wow us. We ordered the Original Tonkatsu set, comprised of Pork Loin Katsu with cabbage, miso soup, steam rice, and homemade tonkatsu sauce. The cabbage, miso soup and rice are free to refill ($12.80). The oil that the katsu was cooked in left a residual oily taste - perhaps the oil was a bit old? The flavour of the sauce wasn't a favourite of mine, nor was the salad dressing. It was Ok. Between katsuya, which is a similar katsu resturant, and Mr. Tonkatsu, I would highly recommend Katsuya. read more

We had the chicken and cheese katsu with squid appetizer. Both were pretty tasty but there definitely wasn't enough squid and while the chicken was pretty tasty and nicely breaded, it didnt seem worth the price. We had take out and I have to say the service was really nice. They let me sit down even though it was pretty busy and gave me water while I waited, and kept apologizing for the wait, even though I didn't even wait that long, so pretty cool there. Extra star for the really nice service, which wasn't expected at a busy place like this, especially when getting take out. read more

My family loves this place. Katsu they serve are always perfectly cooked. It comes with all you can eat steamed rice and cabbage salad. Also comes with all you can drink miso soup. Definitely a must try! read more

Mr.Tonkatsu - Pork tenderloin katsu - Japanese Near Me - Toronto, Ontario

I am someone who likes food to be cheap, tasty, and large portion. I tried takeout with Pork Loin with Cheese Katsu for $14.50. (Later on, I realized they charged me $15.80 which is the price for Chicken with Cheese Katsu, by mistake? Didn't like that, but oh well.) The food is tasty, I like the katsu okay, the breading is crunchy, the cheese is nice! Portion of cabbage and rice were okay. The meat was not a lot, I'd have preferred more meat, but maybe I'm hard to please that way. Overall, it's okay, but I'd have preferred more (thicker?) meat. read more

In addition to the tonkatsu, the meal comes with unlimited miso soup, cabbage, and rice. Asking for a refill was straightforward. Once you finish any sidedish (doesn't need to be all), you prompt the waitress for a refill and he/she will either refill your bowl/plate or bring you a new one. Needless to say, the tonkatsu was the star of the show. The panko crust was very light and crispy. My friend suggested that the pork would do well without the cheese. I found the cheese to add a very welcomed saltiness to the tonkatsu. The cheese wasn't of the cheap processed type. It was really thick and stretchy. For the cabbage, each table has a bottle filled with a japanese-styled sesame vinaigrette for you to drizzle on top. Both my friend and I really enjoyed the vinaigrette. It was very flavourful and made the tasteless raw cabbage quite appetizing. I even went for seconds. Now onto the tonkatsu sauce, it's pretty sweet and gains a nutty flavour when you add the crushed sesame seeds. But I found it to be as strong as something like barbeque sauce. Both my friend and I used it sparingly to avoid it overpowering the tonkatsu. Actually, I primarily used it to help me finish my ball of rice. It's a nice addition to have a restaurant devoted to the art of tonkatsu. But with the competitive restaurant surroundings, it's hard to say when I'd go back. The place is quite small which causes seating problems in terms of availability and spacing. But it'd definitely be my go to place if I'm craving for good quality tonkatsu. read more

Mr.Tonkatsu - Cheese pork tonkatsu - Japanese Near Me - Toronto, Ontario

Yummy! I had the pork loin Tonkatsu set, which comes with rice, shredded cabbage, a miso soup and dipping sauce for the Ton. The tonkatsu was soft and juicy. This was only 13$ and the meal was Japan level good! I would recommend this, if you crave this excellent dish. read more

Mr.Tonkatsu - Pork Loin Tonkatsu - Japanese Near Me - Toronto, Ontario

The name of this restaurant makes it fairly clear as to what they specialize in: tonkatsu. Don't come here if you want a light meal - Mr. Tonkatsu specializes in all that is breaded and deep fried. I've had both versions of the pork katsu and tried a piece of the one with cheese inside. All were delicious - the batter is crunchy, but not greasy, and the meat itself manages to stay tender. All of the sets come with refillable miso soup, rice and cabbage. The cabbage itself is dry but there is a labelled salad dressing on all of the tables (the labeling is a relatively new addition - I guess people didn't realize it was the dressing) that is strangely addictive. They also have no hesitation in refilling any of your requested items promptly and efficiently! One fun pre-dinner activity is the bowl of sesame seeds they give you to grind up so that you can add freshly ground sesame seeds to your sauce. There's something strangely satisfying about grounding these seeds with the little wooden stick they give you - it's basically a grooved version of a mortar and pestle. I always save some of the ground up sesame seeds in case I need a top-up of the dipping sauce. The staff is amazing. They seem genuinely happy to be working there which can be rare for a restaurant in this city. It feels as though the entire team behind the restaurant is determined to create a positive guest experience. They've started to recognize me as a repeat visitor and pointed out the new additions to the menu in case I want to branch out a bit. This restaurant is also very approachable - I have a friend who is fairly new to the city and is a picky eater who is reluctant to try "ethnic" food. Mr. Tonkatsu was an excellent introduction to the world of eating with chopsticks. As of my last visit a few weeks ago, the draft beer had yet to be installed but they do have bottles of beer available. read more

My experience here can be summed up in one sentence. "They ran out of rice". How is that even possible? We basically waited for 40 minutes for our food because they had to cook the rice. Some people literally left cause they wait for too long. The food was honestly not bad and it's not too pricey but how do you run out of rice during a Sunday afternoon? Running out of rice at a Japanese restaurant is like running of out dough at a pizza place. I will go back but just please have rice ready, I don't want to wait another 40 mins. Thanks love u. read more

Winning winter comfort food. Everything was simple and scrumptious: an original set with perfectly fried cutlets (with cheese is delicious) and shredded cabbage with sesame dressing. Karaage curry with rice - yummmmmm. Wash it down with some sapporo or asahi and you are good to go. Orders are big and we easily shared 2 mains between 3 people. read more

These guys and girls know how to fry food. Best crispy fried squid ever. It was crispy, tender, and not salty...also just perfect. Their pork tenderloin classic was perfectly fried too. The pork inside was so tender that you can probably eat it without teeth. The sauce was a great match. Oh, the interior design is great but the seating is limited. Overall, best fried food in Toronto and you really need to give this place a try to understand how deep fried cuisine can be an art. read more

This place is definitely a hidden treasure. Very solid katsu but the one that stands out by far is the pork with cheese. The mozza cheese makes it that much more flavorful, my friend got it and we ended up getting a second round of it. Quick tip, miso soup and rice is unlimited so you can order a dinner set and keep getting rounds of rice until your satisfied. Also you can order an additional set of meat whichever you ordered initially for $9. read more

I find the katsu tastes very greasy, by the time I finished 2/3 of it I couldn't continue to eat no more because of the oily taste. I did like the salad that they put on the side. It goes very well with the protein, also yummy with the sesame dressing that they have on the table. In general, the combo is quite nice if you like deep fried food. However, it isn't my cup of tea. read more

Very good! Very welcoming servers who will patiently explain the menu as well as how you prepare your dipping sauce. I had the pork loin katsu, which was deliciously filled with cheesy goodness. It was very well executed because it was light and crispy and drained well - not oily for a fried pork chop. The sides were also just right. The price was reasonable and I was also told that the salad, rice, and miso soup could be refilled! I would return to try the chicken next time. read more

I have come here on 2 separate occasions and have tried the tonkatsu sirloin and tonkatsu cheese. Both were A-Ok, but not something I would want to go back for often. I do like how you get to grind up your own sesame and mix it in with the tonkatsu sauce. There is also a sufficient amount of veggies on your plate to make you feel better about eating a giant portion of fried pork. The tonkatsu was well fried, crispy and not greasy at all. The meat itself though, although it was good quality, wasn't very moist or flavourful which I think is the one thing that prevents this place from being truly memorable. Generally, this is a good and unique tonkatsu specialty shop! If you enjoy tonkatsu this place may be for you. I did prefer the cheese tonkatsu over the sirloin so it is definitely worth the 1-2 extra bucks.I also saw a sandwich menu for lunch ( I came for dinner) so I may be inclined to try that out on a subsequent visit. Overall, would return if convenient, but would not go out of may. read more

The pork loin cheese tonkatsu was really good. Tender and soft. My only concern is what kind of pork and chicken do they use. Organic, hormone-free and with pesticide-free feed or non-organic, full or hormones and fed a grain diet full of pesticides. They don't really talk about it in their menu, which leads me to believe that they use non-organic pork and chicken. I wish more restaurants cared about clearly communicating the quality and nature of ingredients they use in preparing their food. read more

Mr.Tonkatsu - $16.39 after tax - Pork Loin Cheese Tonkatsu - Japanese Near Me - Toronto, Ontario

Definitely decent Tonkatsu for Toronto; I have been waiting a long time for a place like this to arrive here. I believe the panko & sauce are made in house, nicely cooked pork loin; not perfect, but not overly cooked either, fresh cabbage. Miso soup is passable. Unfortunately, the service needs some work. The dishes take way too long to come out, no explanation or apologies. And when I requested a free refill on rice and cabbage which is advertised everywhere, I waited over 5-10 minutes while the server wasn't doing anything and then had to ask another server to bring them out which she did right away as its basically just scooping the stuff into a bowl, but never apologized for the unnecessary wait. Same thing when I asked for the bill, had to ask to pay after waiting forever. read more

We went to this place to eat right when the place opened up so it wasn't too busy and crowded yet. It was our first time eating here and I was not disappointed! Katsu is probably one of my favourite things to eat. I opted to try the regular chicken katsu dish with cheese. WITH CHEESE! The cheese was really good. The moment you pull one piece out, the cheese oozes out and gets really stretchy. The waitress brought out a small bowl with sesame seeds for us to grind to fully "experience" the full tonkatsu meal. That took about 5 minutes of our time - smelt really fresh. Afterwards we put the seeds into the katsu sauce; don't really know if it made much of a difference but the sauce was good nonetheless. Miso soup was also included with the meal and it was quite flavourful. I will come back here to eat for sure if I'm ever in the area again! read more

Delicious food I enjoy the curry when you are sick it has a nice kick, the cheese meat curries are great

A cute little place located in Korea town, and they specialize in tonkatsu. They also have other proteins such as chicken, beef and fish as well as soba, appetizers and drinks. What I first noticed when I came here is that the place didn't smell like oil at all! I was pleasantly surprised. You get unlimited rice, salad, and miso soup if you order any kind of katsu meal. I would have to say that it is a good deal for big eaters, but not for everyone. With that in mind, I found the menu to be a bit pricey for what you get. If the meals were $2 cheaper, it will make sense. If you can refill rice, salad, and miso soup then sure it is worth the money, but you are basically paying for unlimited option even if you don't intend to get more of complimentary sides. My boyfriend ordered cheese tonkatsu and I got a chicken katsu. There was a lot of cheese oozing out from the tonkatsu. The chicken katsu was a bit too thin in my opinion. The exterior of both katsu was light, crispy and not oily at all. The meat was juicy and tender. Their katsu sauce tasted like ketchup though. Overall, yes I would recommend this place to anyone who crave for katsu. A clean place with good food and good service. read more

Mr. Tonkatsu is my Disneyland for great fried chicken. Though their katsu sets are amazing (I love the chicken cheese one even though I'm lactose intolerant), it's their Honey Butter chicken that sets them apart from countless fried chicken restaurants in the city. It's not greasy, not overbearing with breading, pretty meaty, real juicy, and unbelievably tasty. God bless Mr. and Mrs. Tonkatsu. read more

Mr. Tonkatsu is a wonderful, peaceful little spot, just west of Bathurst Station. It's a lovely place for a quiet dinner for 1, or a small group. The service is friendly and enthusiastic and they are happy to instruct on the best way to eat tonkatsu. While the pork isn't very flavourful (I have high expectations of the other white meat) it is very very tender. The portion sizes are more than adequate, and if you are used to something larger, the miso soup, cabbage salad, and rice all come with free re-fills. Why they didn't get 5 stars: *The home-made panko coating doesn't always stick to the pork - it sometimes ends up in the sauce. * The dressing for the cabbage salad - while plentiful - lacks balance ad can make for a very salty mouthful * Free re-fills on everything except the one thing you will really want an extra order of - the really good tonkatsu dipping sauce. If you want deep fried protein without feeling guilty about the grease, this is a great option. read more

Planned my entire day around coming to Mr. Tonkatsu. Brought the whole family and parked about a km away. Got seated right away and placed our orders. We all ordered their staple chicken katsu. After two minutes the server comes to our table and tells us they only have one katsu left and three of us would have to reselect. Can you imagine running out of your staple item 2.5 hours after you open for the day. Needless to say this experience has left a sour taste in our mouths. Long drive from Pickering only to end up at Popeyes across the street. read more

My favourite place for non-sushi japanese restaurant. I especially love their pork cheese katsu, which is not something that you see in many japanese restaurants. Cheese coating between meat and fried bread crumbs added a twist to a dish that otherwise would taste pretty standard. Their dish size is very big (pork cheese katsu comes with rice, salad, dipping sauce, and miso soup). Everything except the meat is refillable too. The service is pretty okay. They don't bother us too often and mostly only come when our drink needs a refill. If you like chicken or pork katsu, definitely check out this place. read more

Great food! We got the tenderloin set and curry. Very tasty. The only downside was that during our visit, something happened to their rice and they had to turn it into fried rice, and then the second batch of rice was very undercooked. I don't think this is a common occurrence though. Make reservations if you're able to, unless you don't mind waiting in line for half an hour. read more

Mr.Tonkatsu - Chicken katsu - Japanese Near Me - Toronto, Ontario

I went here with my friends and ordered the chicken an cheese cutlets and it was soo good! Perfect comfort food for when you want some good fried chicken. One thing I noticed though is that when you order any cutlet with cheese they give you a noticeably smaller portion than if you order a plain cutlet. If you don't mind, go for the cheese but honestly I don't recommend getting cheese. It didn't really taste that much better and I was finished way before my friends were done and I was still a bit hungry after. Also their debit card machine rejected my card several times so bring some cash just in case. I recommend this place if you're craving some good cutlets :) read more

Finally a Japanese style tonkatsu restaurant opened in Toronto. The tonkatsu is very crispy, one of the best(other than Tokyo kitchen). Also you can refill the rice, soup and cabbage, quite authentic. Will give it 5 stars if the cabbage was sliced super super fine, like all the tonkatsu restaurants in Japan. read more

Mr.Tonkatsu - Pork Tonkatsu - Japanese Near Me - Toronto, Ontario

The rice was looked stale, as if it was in the rice cooker for over 6 hours... then they said it was fresh. Hell, I saw that yellow rust, so either they lied or they didn't clean the bowl. The tonkatsu is extremely overpriced, not worth $15. Miso is horrible. Tasteless and made with dried seaweed. No tofu. The salad is a joke. (Shredded cabbage?!) Overall, this is overpriced and horrible. If it was an $8 meal, the BS could have passed. The actual price of the meat is around $2 since its sliced so thin (for cooking purposes) and we all know cabbage, rice and powdered miso soup is not worth much, even if it does come with free refills. Don't suggest eating here. I could choose 0 stars, I would. read more

Mr.Tonkatsu - Yellow rusted, low quality dry rice that they call "fresh". They should learn how to make proper rice. - Japanese Near Me - Toronto, Ontario

Been here twice and it's never disappointing. Portions are good, and the tonkatsu is amazingly crispy. Not too thick, and cooked perfectly through. Service is friendly and efficient; the instructions about the sesame seed is provided so as to not confuse people. (Definitely grind it up and add it to the tonkatsu sauce, it adds a lovely flavour to it that blends really well with the meat.) read more

Mr.Tonkatsu - Tonkatsu sampler and fish katsu - Japanese Near Me - Toronto, Ontario

This place specializes in their breaded deep friend Japanese styled pork on a bed of rice dressed with mayo and cabbage. This wasn't a good idea for me since I am pescetarian but a friend brought me here and luckily they had a fish Katsu version! The fish was very moist, not dry at all which I really appreciated! I'm not a big fried food person so it didn't blow me away but it was very good! The breading was very delicious. The portions are quite large too, I don't often take home a dog baggy but I had to this time or else I felt like I'd explode. The price is absolutely worth it for the portion. We had sapporo ' on the side which were pricey but what do you expect when you have imported beer at a restaurant? ;P The service was great, the waitresses were very friendly and the decor was on point. Modern with strong Japanese influences making it a very hip place for 20-30 yr olds. The lighting isn't bright either and it feels like a good place to relax and have a delicious filling meal with friends. I'm not sure if I'd visit again because I'm not into fried food all that much but if I was ever craving fried fish, for example when I am drunk haha, I would definitely return here! read more

The chef and the server were very unfriendly Especially, the attitude of the Korean man chef made me very uncomfortable read more

I wanted to try this place out because it had great reviews on yelp and I was going to be on Bloor Street. My friend ordered the Pork Katsu and it was exactly what it was supposed to be, but she would've liked more spices in the sauce for it or a spicy option for the sauce. I had the Fish Katsu, which came with tartar sauce. It was pretty good. This was my first time having Katsu and I liked it, but I wanted more flavor from the food. It felt pretty bland to me, but if this is what Katsu is supposed to be then maybe it's just not for me. All in all, I'm glad we stopped here and that I tried it. I definitely at least recommend going in and trying it for yourself. The service was great and quick. read more
