| - Holy smokes. I'm truly blown away.
Japanese curry for the longest time making a splash in the food scene, while it's still currently being overunned by Ramen and Sushi places but this gem here is truly a wonderful place to check out.
The location is kind of obscure and admittedly I had trouble finding the place, consistently going up and down Yonge and not understanding where on Earth this place is. Suddenly it dawned on me, that there's a unknown food court at the Marshall's/Bed, Bath and Beyond. So for all you people that are looking for Kaiju, just go down to the basement when you see the Marshall's, Bed, Bath and Beyond (trust me on this).
It's in a food court where it's still in development, and there are a few units that still haven't made its home for business, there were like 3-4 actually there, and I went on a Saturday so one of them was closed.
In any case, this food court is where Kaiju does its business and I have to say it's arguably one of the best places for Japanese curry. Ever. I'm not sure if i was speaking with the owner but the person who was servicing me was the sweetest person ever, kind and pleasant to be around.
So I ordered a Fish fillet curry for $8 and ask for less rice (low carb) and shockingly they were willing to give me less rice for more coleslaw salad. The employee then went ahead and told me, while I was enjoying the meal that they could accommodate no rice and all salad, which is a huge bonus.
As for the meal itself...I...I'm truly at a loss of words. The curry has a small kick, but it has a nice sweetness to it which is comforting and delicious. The fish fillet was HUGE, woah..., and freshly fried (the thing was piping hot) and the coleslaw was really nice, not overdressed and crunchy. I found myself just downing that colossal meal in...minutes. Really wonderful wonderful meal.
I should also mention that the employee actually came out of her store unit to bring the food over to me and I was really surprised how wonderful service is (although as a disclaimer: I don't think they can do this all the time, especially if they're really busy, but they always have a big smile on their faces, which I do appreciate).
In any case, I'm rambling beyond belief because I can't stop talking how fantastic this place. Just GO to Kaiju. This is a direct order. You'll be happy. :)
