Izakaya with a variety of different menu items. We ordered the special platter, sumo nabe, and the takoyaki. I liked the ambience of the restaurant and the staff was friendly. read more

Stopped here on our way into Toronto for lunch before we started our day of exploring. The food was fantastic, my wife had Chicken Udon, my daughters had Ramen and I enjoyed an order of Sukiyaki. The food was fresh and full of flavor, the outside patio was... well, it was the best they could makeshift with what little space they had and the inside atmosphere was beautiful. The service is where this place really stood out above the rest. My daughter had a nose bleed while on the patio and the lovely staff did everything they could to come to the rescue and make her feel better. At the end of our meal I thanked the staff, they gave me a hand full of candy and said "this is for her". My daughter was so happy when we left and will no doubt remember this place for a long time. read more

Surprisingly it was my first time here after so many years of knowing about them. Service was on point, the chicken wing with that sauce was amazing! I feel like the sukiyaki was a bit disappointing, I really wish they had added spring garland chrysanthemum in there. They're one of the main reasons why I love sukiyaki, it goes super well with that sweet and savory broth. read more

Tokyo Grill - Sukiyaki and fried chicken wings - Japanese Near Me - Toronto, Ontario

Excellent food and service!! One of my favorite restaurants in North York. Love the Sukiyaky and the bentos, my favourite is the beef teriyaki. Nice atmosphere, the tables are well organized making easy to do social distancing. read more

How is the food? the main dishes were pretty okay, no complaints. Udon was pretty good. Curry was what I expected, but no wow factor. we also ordered some side dishes the beef had nice seasoning, but I think it was slightly over grilled, but still tasted nice. the karage was not really up to expectation. still tasted good, but around this area, it is so far on the lower standard side. Overall, you should be pretty content if you come here to eat, I would come back to try out some more dishes How is the service? their service is great, I read some other reviews which complained about the service, which I don't understand. to me, their service was top notch. Ambience the restaurant has a very nice ambience, I really liked the layout, lighting and the mood they set. Would I recommend? Yes, it is an interesting shop, should definitely give it a try read more

I arrived in Toronto and needed to have supper after a long drive on the horrible 401. The restaurant was open for pickup only. They have many choices of dishes, both small and large to accommodate any appetite. I had a mixed bowl of pork, rice, veggies with two types of dipping sauce. This included one drink. All for under 15$. The food was amazing and fresh. It really made your taste buds go crazy! I will definitely come here again if I am ever in TO. They're also pretty quick on getting your order ready so you don't have to wait for too long. If you're in the area, go grab something. You definitely won't be disappointed. read more

Was here on a weeknight with colleagues after work. The restaurant decor was a mixture of Japanese traditional and modern influences. The staff was inviting and attentive. Since this was our first time trying out this joint, we wanted to order some of the restaurants signature dishes and specials. One of their signature dishes was the grilled Ox Tongue (Negi Tanshio), unfortunately they had ran out of the dish that night. Definitely some criticism here as we were there at 7PM on a weeknight, you would think the restaurant would be more aware of inventory? If it was a late night, running out of a dish would be more understandable. We ordered the Oyako-Don (Chicken/Egg on Rice with vegetables), Negichasyu (Pork shoulder on Rice), Kushi Mori (Three kinds of Grilled Meat Skewers), and Karaage (Fried Chicken). Overall the dishes were decent, nothing really stands out, portion sizes were small considering the pricing. Would give this place a try down the road as they become more established and find their groove. Portion sizes for the price and lack of preparation is the reasoning for the rating. read more

Cozy Japanese restaurant/bar. They have a good selection of food from izakaya tapas style to meals like their curry and bento boxes. Fionna and I ready came for the Shoyu hotpot as I was craving. Great flavor in the soup, very simple ingredients and it was perfect after a cold day out. Prices are fair, large beer menu, not thag many liquors but they do offer soju. read more

Got them for takeout and really was looking forward to it, unfortunately the food was so-so. The curry was way too salty and value-wise wasn't really worth it. The ebi fry was almost $14 but only came with 2 small shrimps. The croquettes were okay but was a bit bland compared to the curry. They did give us free gifts so +1 for that. read more

Great price for drinks. The capico sour was delicious. Also nice vibe in restaurant with comfortable seating. There are outlets in some of the seating areas. read more

Went there at 11:55 am today and it was closed. I thought you guys are open at 11:30 am! Also, they no longer accept orders from Ritual.

*UPDATE* I am a long time customer, and I liked eating here because the food is tasty and the service WAS great. However, as of recent, things have gone downhill. They have hired new staff and the service is horrible. While the atmosphere is calm and cozy, and they have good food, none of that matters because the service sucks. The waitresses are not attentive or friendly, and they don't check up on you. Not only that, but they were going to charge me for a little cup of seaweed flakes (that are usually free) which I found ridiculous. Overall, VERY disappointed with the recent service. Only reason I go there is for the food. So if you're planning on eating there, just order it from Uber Eats. The service there is NOT worth your time. read more

I thought the one review was an outlier so decided to come give it a try. The interior was beautiful and the servers were polite but the food has a really long way to go. Firstly the menu needs a lot of work. My vision is pretty good but there is no way I can see what each of the pictures had. I ordered a cold udon that appeared creamy orange in the picture but something different came out. The cold udon was neither cold or warm..... Kinda like room temperature and stale. Ingredients and flavour was plain but the side of wasabi was an interesting touch but my partner wasn't a fan of wasabi unfortunately. I strongly believe the average individual can make a more exciting dish at home with frozen udon, some beef at Galleria and vegetables. The quantity they served was hilarious when they serve small portions in a massive bowl. The sukiyaki tasted bland since the meat was over cooked and it was stuffed with very boring ingredients (think overcooked tofu and bean sprouts). Theres a pretty thick film of oil on the surface after the meal too. This dish was a fail for something in this neighborhood. Finally the prices. Sure, the setting looked great and rent is too damn high but no way I'll be coming back to pay 16 bucks for an awful bowl of food when there's so many better options nearby. read more

Cozy place and reasonable price. Fried chicken is a must try. Takoyaki was a bit sour, not the one I used to have but not bad.

Recently purchased their take out chicken karage and was it cold and the meat was dry. Was very disappointed. I hope that they will ensure in future that their take out food is hot. read more

Sukiyaki is my favorite, soup tastes good and makes me warm. Curry is a bit spicy, and beef noodle is served in a huge bowl, meat taste sweet, value set B is cool too. read more

Authentic Japanese food which makes you feel like home. Have been a fan of their downtown location. I'm happy that their curry, udon and dons kept the standard in this new location, they have always been my favourite place for casual Japanese food in Toronto. Strong recommend their curry and udon if you come here the first time! read more

Been here a couple of times, and both times were good! The place is dim and is good for dates or hanging out with friends. The menu ranges from udon to bento to izakaya food to shareable pots. I have tried multiple dishes and I enjoyed most of them. The curry pot and sukiyaki are both my favourite. Keep a good eye on there drink promos as well! It's worth going on happy hours I paid 3.25$ for a Sapporo pint super cheap for the area as well. My recommendation you guys have a great bar area I hope you guys could get a bartender and build that clientele. read more

Curry at Tokyo Grill is the best in Toronto. Unfortunately, the service at this North York location was terrible. 5 stars for the curry, 1 star for the service. I came here as a walk-in as a group of 4 and luckily there was no line and we had just seen a table open up from a fully packed restaurant. We were told we would be seated there when it was cleared but instead, the servers came back and said they had promised it to an existing party of 2 already who wanted to sit in the booth. Ok - minor inconvenience but we just came for dinner so the servers offered us the counter instead once they cleared it. We happily agreed to that. However, the servers then came back and told us the counter seats were reserved so there was no table available for 4 anymore. Bigger inconvenience because we came to the area just to try the food here, as we are all fans of the downtown location, and now had to wait an unknown amount of time. There was no sign of a table for 4 opening up so we settled on splitting our group and taking two tables for 2 across the restaurant from each other. At my table, we did not get any menu for over 10 minutes nor did anyone come to our table after we were seated. I texted my friend on the other side of the restaurant to see if he got a menu yet and he brought over their extra menu because they had two. We also saw a person walk up to the servers to ask if they could place their order because they had been waiting for a while, albeit with a menu at their table. Looked like a few folks were not happy about the service that night. Food took terribly long. It took so long that the table of 2 that moved to the 4-seater had finished their meal and left. Our two tables were eventually able to move and sit together at the original table we were promised - all this happened after about 40 mins after originally being seated and still before any food was served. When the food did come out, about another 15 minutes after we moved (and almost an hour from originally being seated), they missed one meal so that ended up coming another 15 mins later. The servers said they would give us a discount for forgetting the food and we ended up with a 15% discount - similar discount you would get if you tagged them on Instagram. About the food, the curry is great! The same great flavour as the downtown location. They ran out of the beef skewers but the chicken one was ok. Good green onion flavour. Only good things to say about the food but the terrible service soured my experience here. The servers were pleasant and polite, and I believe they were working to the best of their ability, but there seems to be poor management/training of the staff. I hope this improves because Tokyo Grill (downtown) is one of my favourite spots and a hidden gem in Toronto. read more

Tokyo Grill - Katsu Curry - Japanese Near Me - Toronto, Ontario

This is a 2nd location for the restaurant, which first opened downtown almost 20 years ago. Had eaten there since its opening by 2 Japanese ladies who used to serve the same food at Village by the Grange in the late 80s. The original location remained open (though chefs changed) until a few months ago for much needed serious renovation which they never had for 20 years. What they serve, is authentic Japanese casual dining (shokudo) food. At this new location, menu is expanded to include izakaya food. The interior is modern and very nice, a monumental improvement over the downtown location which was a dive, with authentic "shokudo" atmosphere, you can say. Service was fine. But it was 6:30 and the place wasn't busy. Cold water was served, and food arrived quickly. Waitresses tonight are Japanese. Ordered kaki fry and katsudon. Both tasted just like what they served at the downtown location, or similar places in Japan. Portion sizes are appropriate for the prices charged. Remember this is Japanese, not Korean food. I am very happy to see an authentic Japanese restaurant among a sea of Korean Japanese establishments in the neighbourhood. They ran the same place downtown for 2 decades, so they know what they are doing. Although this is a totally different neighbourhood so will see. The previous restaurant at this location Crazy Don lasted less than 3 years. I ate there once after its grand opening, and never returned. It's Korean Japanese. Prices were higher and portions much bigger. If you are looking for Korean Japanese tastes / serving size / quality / value , this is not the place for you. However this will be my regular lunch place for sure. read more

They automatically added a 15% tip. That just put me off. But honestly the food wasn't that great. I had ordered the beef udon and honestly it just tasted like salt water w tough beef and 1 mushroom with loads of onions and seaweed. I don't think I'll ever come back to be honest. read more

This place now has a disgusting practice of automatically adding tips onto your bill. When the waitress brought the credit card machine over she had already entered 15% tips herself. Her explanation was that some customers were not leaving tips or leaving too little. LOL what a joke! What other customers tip is not my problem. I don't care whether 15% is "reasonable" or not. It should always be up to the customer to decide how much tips to leave. Serves me right for coming back here after my initial bad experience. read more

Disappointed. Nice restaurant. Ample street parking. But the flavours of the dishes did not blow me away. Dressing in the salad was off. The bbq skewers seemed dry and overcooked. Eggplant sauce had zero flavour. Beef tongue came out on a hot sizzling tower and oil squirting everywhere. Won't be returning or recommending to others. read more

The food here was flavourful. Do you know why? They use the right kind and amount of dashi in their food. This is my main complaint about the food at JTown and Tokyo Grill does right what Green Tea does not. My friend and I arrived at around two o'clock and three tables were occupied. A faux fire area occupies the centre of the restaurant and a ninja door, tables and booths surround it. A television is on the wall giving the customers the perception that this is a low-end and low-quality food joint. This newer and more modern location is quite different in ambiance from their original mid-town location south of Bloor. The food was quite good. I had the katsudon and could tell that they are using the correct Japanese recipe. The pork was tender, the onions done right and the rice cooked to 'don' perfection. The spinach was delicious. One can taste the seasoning in it. Upon request they also brought katsu sauce for me. The salad side and miso soup were also welcome with the former enjoying a refreshing dressing. My friend had a Hiyashi Chuka (cold ramen noodles) and found it okay. Hiyashi chuka could come with a clear, sesame or soy broth and she was disappointed that she did not get her favourite sesame broth. Nothing wrong with her noodle dish, but this version was not her favourite. Moreover, they mix the noodle in while others may keep the noodle separate. I had a Hiyashi Chuka years ago at their original location and remembered how the Saga-born waitress had recommended it. They always promoted cold ramen there in the summer and seem to do so here as well. Also, was it my imagination? They used to add ham to Hiyashi Chuka there. Not here. They stick with pieces of regular pork. The egg was well done. I recall how the original location's waitresses were Japanese every time I went. It was not the case here. The waitress' answers and accent tells me she was not Japanese. She was polite and kind regardless. read more

Came here on a Saturday evening. Lucky that I came early. This place start filling up around 6:30pm. The atmosphere is very relaxing and cozy. The fake fire in the middle of the bar table is a nice touch. I can tell they put a lot of thought in the lighting of this place. As for the food, we tried the Gyu tataki, salmon teriyaki, Katsu curry rice, and Sukiyaki. My favourite is the Gyu Tataki, it's layer with some lettuce and sprouts with a special sauce. The taste is well balanced and refreshing. For the other dishes, the flavor is good but slightly too salty. For the pork cutlet, I would prefer the one at Katsuya. The salmon and beef are overcooked. The price of their food is very reasonable, especially for authentic Japanese food. The service was pretty good too. This Japanese girl had make up like a rock star, but she was very polite and typical Japanese kawaii. With how busy they are, I think they are understaffed. Although their food is not executed as sophisticated or perfect as other Japanese restaurant, but the atmosphere, quality and value of food, the service, makes me want to come back again. There are many other choices on their menu that I want to try. Will definitely come back for more. read more

This is our first time to come here and last time. Horrible slow service. They only brought one dish for my mother. Had I not asked after waiting more than 10 minutes to learn they gave my ordered dish to someone else. They serve first the Asians but not to the Caucasian. Never will we come back here again. Crazy Don was excellent but this is horrible. Not even to being us water. Everyone else who is Asian got water. They don't even serve the Korean appetizers while you wait for your food read more

Saturday dinner date with my wife, intending to try some authentic Japanese food. The area is already full of Korean owned sushi restaurants and Tokyo grill is a nice change of pace. I made a reservation by phone, and I immediately knew the waitress who took the reservation was Japanese. Arigato gozaimasu. She asked me for a choice of bar, table, or counter. We tried a booth this time. This is the second time we came to this restaurant, as it's still new. We were at the counter last time and the stone fireplace on the counter looks very cool! We tried one of the sets last time that takes off $10-15 off of the regular price last time, but this time we ordered a-la-carte. After ordering the go-to items that can't go wrong, edamame and sukiyaki, we went for some more adventurous choices. The sukiyaki was great in its own right. We had a beef tataki. They use better beef than most and so was able to slice it thicker and still wasn't tuff. A heat-on-the-table stone plate beef tongue gave a more exotic taste, in addition to having a fun item on the table. With salty green onion or lemon to help flavour the beef tongue gives a choice of taste for everybody. We also tried one of the fried chicken items with a salad dressing and it gave a good fresh taste and it wasn't too oily. It is definitely a place I will come back to for a sit-down, enjoy-the-atmosphere restaurant. A nice change to many of the fastfood type Japanese food around the area read more
