Toronto | ✨Cotolet✨ - Found My Lifelong Pasta at a Tonkatsu Joint!
COTOLET 📍9631 Yonge St #2, Richmond Hill One-liner review: "Is the tonkatsu the star? Or just a sidekick to the mind-blowing cream pasta?" 💯 Personal Ratings (10-point scale): Taste: 7/10 Ambiance: 7/10 Value: 8/10 Overall: 7/10 After work, we finally visited this long-bookmarked Japanese tonkatsu spot, tucked north of 16th Ave on Yonge St. What We Ordered: 🐖 Pork Loin with Red Demi-Glace Sauce • Classic Japanese panko crust—crispy and photogenic. • Pork itself? Solid but not life-changing—tender enough, but the sauce stole the show! We chose the Red Sauce, a Korean-Japanese hybrid with gentle heat, sweetness, and a hint of cream. Bonus points for the fresh side salad—no sad iceberg lettuce here! 🍝 Bulgogi Cream Pasta • UNEXPECTED SHOWSTOPPER! First bite = "This might be one of my top pastas EVER." • Rich, cheesy cream sauce with sneaky spicy flecks—like edible treasure hunts! • Loaded with mushrooms and bulgogi beef, and the pasta? Perfectly al dente. • Hypnotically addictive—we couldn’t stop mixing and devouring it! Final Verdict: The sauces carried the meal! While it’s a tonkatsu shop, the cream pasta is the secret MVP. Why You Should Go: ✅ Sauce game STRONG (both Japanese + Korean-inspired hits) ✅ Pasta that’ll haunt your dreams (in the best way) ✅ No-fuss, hearty portions—great for after-work cravings 🔥 Pro Tip: Split the pasta + tonkatsu to taste both worlds! #Tonkatsu #PastaLover #TorontoEats #FoodieFinds #HiddenGems #JapaneseFood #ComfortFood #RichmondHill #TorontoLife
