Stopped by around 8 and the owner was nice enough to serve us. We ordered the fried shrimp curry on rice with salad on the side. Curry reminds us of the curry we had at a family run curryhouse in Tokyo. Leaves a nice aroma, slightly spicy taste in the mouth with a hint of sweetness. Unlike gyugyuya Japanese beef curry restaurant that has rice super drenched in super heavy curry that you wished you had less of, Kaiju' s curry leaves you wanting more. Even at 8pm, the fried shrimp was crispy and not oily. It was such a good deal for $8 before taxes in downtown Toronto. The only recommendation would be to serve Japanese short grain rice instead of Thailand rice.
I guess the restaurant is an Asian inspired restaurant, serving you tasty Japanese curry, malaysian/Viet dishes.
The owner makes his own Malaysian coconut egg jam, called Kaya. Amazing. Picture Apple honey butter, but BETTER. you can call the owner a head of time and ask him to make a batch for you. Each tub costs $5. Cannot wait to spread it on my toast tomorrow morning!!!
A gem, too bad it is underground beneath the Aura condo, shops and above ground restaurants because you won't know it is there unless you look for it.
