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
