| - I went to Tokyo Grill solely because they stock Chu-Hi, and you cannot purchase it at the LCBO. A Japanese friend gave me the tip, and let me know that the place was very home style.
I guess Japanese home style isn't for me. I got a Pork Cutlet with a huge unsatisfying salad and some okay sauce. The breading on the Pork Cutlet was fine, but nothing really spectacular. The cost was $9, and I feel that there are a lot of other restaurants downtown, even other Japanese ones, that deliver more value for $9 or up to $11 and at the same time provide a much nicer ambiance and don't only accept cash.
My boyfriend got the large beef ramen. The serving size was appropriate for a large, and there seemed to be a good amount of beef. He commented that the beef wasn't all that great, but the noodles were good. He'd end up at Kenzo before he ever ended up here again though.
The ambiance is totally lacking, yellow walls with bright pink molding. Very little seating. Maybe their curry is totally excellent, and I can vouch that the employees and owners are genuinely Japanese. Like I said, a Japanese friend of mine enjoys it, but if you're just going out for Japanese food I'd recommend Kenzo down the street for Ramen or any of the other myriad choices at Yonge and Wellesley for Teriyaki/Sushi/etc.
Also they only had Grapefruit Chu-hi, kind of a downer (not a grapefruit fan), but it was still worth sitting there and getting full up on Pork, Rice and Salad.
