Mr. Tonkatsu — Restaurant in Toronto

Summary: Amazing food, huge portions, great value, good service. Please consider delivery via Foodora, for the Greater Good.

Now let me start by saying that I eat a lot. Whether it's my active lifestyle, all those gym sessions, or my Chaos-ravaged metabolism, I don't know, but I eat enough to raise eyebrows and get questions about "did you want that second main or would you consider getting an appetizer instead". I'd ask one of my warband's Apothecaries about that, but they're notoriously fickle, and are rather prone to impromptu experimentation. I don't need a fifth lung, you know.

So when I come here, I usually get the loin katsu with extra meat. The basic meal comes with one cutlet, which is a spectacular deal. This cutlet is a little less broad, but maybe twice the thickness, of a Country Style schnitzel. If you've been to Country Style, you'll know that this is a serious amount of katsu, and if you haven't, you're probably weak servants of the corpse-god. Anyway, the katsu is their signature dish, and by Khorne, do they do it well. The panko is apparently baked in-house, and the frying leaves the katsu light, fluffy, and crispy, without being greasy at all. It helps that they're served on top of a metal grill, to help keep the breading crispy when it's served to you. The meat itself is tender, juicy, and flavourful. I don't usually eat much of the sauce- it's delicious enough by itself.

Now, when you get extra meat, these guys do not mess around. You get exactly one more cutlet, the same size, juiciness, and crispiness, in all its sacrilegious glory. Likely born from the fires of Heretek daemon-engines in the vast Warp-Forges of Abbadon himself, two glorious cutlets will adorn your plates. I say plates in plural, because they come in plural. If your appetite is anything like mine, you'll likely be eating from as many plates as you can bench.

If you're still hungry, you're either a Nurglite or Kharn himself (shoutout to Kharn, broest of bros) and you should turn your eyes to the appetizers. They're simple, but they get the point across. I suggest the crispy chicken thigh, for more of that fried, crispy, succulent goodness that drives lesser humans mad and turns Amalathians into Xanthians. Thank Khorne for my warp-resistance and insatiable appetite!

Apart from the pork loin katsu, I've also had the fish katsu, which is admittedly only okay. Maybe a 5/7.

The service is pretty good, they're nice enough to give you things like extra sauce. When you get takeaway, they'll leave the paper box open a little so that the breading doesn't get soggy. I'd thought that punching holes in the packaging would work better, but not everybody has a master-crafted power fist handy for that sort of work, and besides the thought is really nice. Foodora, please take note of these guys and send them an Astropathic message.

Overall, 10/10. Easily my favourite haunt on Bloor west of St. George, and I've had ten millennia in service to the Ruinous Powers to try out food on this stretch. Once Abbadon gets his stuffing together, we'll certainly stop by here.

Such a nice blend between traditional and modern dishes. Since everybody focuses on ramen shops, nobody looks for other kinds of japanese dishes and thus plently japnese restaurants fail to give an authentic japnese meal. Mr tonkatsu however respects the authenticity of japanese dishes while adding a modern twist.

The setting is similar to a ramen shop in Toronto, but with more individual tables rather than communal seatings.

I ordered the katsudon with soba. Traditional katsudon looks like a simple dish, Mr tonkatsu gave the nice dish a cool spin with added radish pickles and a different style of the egg that still does what the traditional egg on top of the katsudon do - runny yolk that covers the katsu. The traditional is half baked egg, while Mr.tonkatsu has poached egg. I've had horrible katsudon in which the katsu gets soggy because of the cooked egg, Mr.tonkatsu still keeps the pork really nice and cripsy, regardless of what's on top covering them. The soba and pickles (as a cleanser) are less exciting, the former is very simple and the later is clearly store bought

My only problem is the lack of waiter service. The only time the waiter came to me was when taking my order, then the dish quickly came to me by behind by someone I couldn't see because of how fast they wanted to leave. I even saw people having to find workers to ask for a drink refill.

Despite this, most dishes are around $15, a fair price in the annex. Mr.tonkatsu is probably the only place I know that delivers quality tonkatsu, with light panko (different texture than bread crumbs) and fresh meat, i thoroughly enjoyed my time there and will definitely be back for their famous...

Unpretentious and Utterly Satisfying!

On a chilly Toronto night, stumbling upon Mr. Tonkatsu was a stroke of luck! This unpretentious spot delivers truly solid bites with zero fuss. As a big fan of Japanese-style curry, I opted for their chicken option, and it absolutely hit the spot. The complexity of the ingredients shone through, yet the presentation remained wonderfully simple – a solid 10 in my book!

I also had a taste of their soba noodles, and wow! They were incredibly rich and flavourful, leaving me already planning a return trip just to try a full order.

The little touches really elevated the experience. The sweet pickles were an unexpected and delightful treat alongside the curry, and the cabbage with vinegar provided a perfect refreshing balance.

The staff were remarkably attentive, and the food arrived in what felt like mere seconds! This makes Mr. Tonkatsu an excellent choice for a quick and delicious meal. Can't recommend it enough – especially those tempting...
