Before class, I would be around the Yonge and College area. Every time I yelped what restaurant there was nearby, Kaiju would be the first on the list. Located in the deserted basement of Shops at Aura, Kaiju shines a bright light.
Kaiju is located in the food court at Shops at Aura. When you finish ordering, the owner tells you to sit down. Thinking that its a food court, I sat close to the counter and waited for my order to be called. However, that did not happen as the owner came to me with my order. That was surprising.
Now about the food. I ordered the pork katsu and it was fresh and hot. It was lightly battered which I like. The curry wasn't that spicy at all and mixing the curry with the rice and pork katsu was delicious. When I was in the middle of the meal, the owner came up to me and asked me how my meal was. I was quite shocked to see this and it really tells me that the owner really cares about his quality of food and customers. I told him that it was delicious and he told me where he learnt how to make the curry. So big props to the owner for doing that.
Also, while eating for 20 minutes at the food court, I observed that Kaiju was the only vendor getting business out of the other two vendors.
If you are in the Yonge and Gerrard area during the weekday, go try out Kaiju. Its definitely a hidden gem in the deserted Shops at Aura.
