Mr. Tonkatsu

Amazing people, amazing service, great food great portions, all for a great price. the special tonkatsu takeout for 10$ cash is a really amazing deal, one of the best i’ve seen in the city. I heavily recommend!

Stumbled in after having had several drinks with a beautiful woman. It was night and had grown chilly. We were greeted warmly by the very kind staff and provided a suitable table in the well crowded restaurant. The happy murmur of the other patrons provided a wonderful backdrop for our conversation. The tonkatsu is quite good, with a kind of breading I have never had before; flakier than the average panko. The curry was perfectly spiced and the combination of ultra-crispy pork and spicy, savory curry was absolutely delightful.

Incredible food and very friendly staff! The karage was FANTASTIC, not to mention the MOUTH WATERING katsu. I tried the chicken, pork, and chicken cheese katsu and could not tell which was better because they ALL WERE.

Second time to vist this restaurant , so thrill with great warm welcome by Harry , the ramen is absolute outstanding , charcoaled outside, juicy inside with char xiu , the presentation is eye catching and would highly recommended

I enjoyed the food for the most part. Although, it is a little oily for me. I loved the cheese pork katsu! The service was good but for some reason we didn’t get a water jug to refill our cups so we had to ask 2-3 times to refill our waters. The calamari was a little rubbery. Overall, the food is a little expensive but I enjoyed the atmosphere.

This restaurant offers tasty Tonkatsu at a reasonable price. The interior is a cozy setting that offers both a home-style area with just enough seating. Having the Chicken Tonkatsu set, I was satisfied at the Chicken I received. The side dishes I received with it weren’t the best as the Miso Soup was cold and the salad wasn’t the best. Restaurant also seems to be a favourite among younger students as many frequent there which is nice.

A sweet spot on Bloor serving great katsu. We came for dinner and ordered the crispy shrimp as an appetizer and the classic pork loin katsu and chicken curry katsu for entrees. Everything was quite good; however it is a bit lacking in flavour. The servers were very friendly and quick to help. Overall, a nice spot but will definitely try some others before coming back.

OH WOW. The food here is SUPERB. Crispy crunchy chicken with delectable sides like thinly sliced cabbage and comforting miso soup. The staff are the sweetest people ever and I felt completely at home even though it was my first time here. Could not recommend enough. Come here if you want delicious food.

We went just before the dinner rush and were seated right away. The server gave us the menu, got our drink orders situated. She came back and we ordered right away. My nephew and I got the original Tonkatsu set and my sister got the kasutdon. Everything was delicious! The crispy texture on the original was soo good! Did you know they make the panko mix every day to get that crispy, crunchy texture and goodness? If only, we lived closer. The inside was quaint and cozy with a nice bathroom. Hopefully when we visit Canada again, we can make this stop and enjoy the yummy food. *tip* parking is a nightmare...look for a big green P, where parking lot is located, you can self park for a fee, and walk to the restaurant. :)

Got Pork loin katsu with cheese and curry sauce. Served with rice, salad, miso soup. Katsu was fine. Curry sauce was good. Food overall was solid but unremarkable Service was good.

We got the Pork Tenderloin Katsu and Pork Loin with Cheese Katsu sets, with Crisp Shrimp for the appetizer. The katsu and shrimp were all very crispy and crunchy, and a bit on the oily side (which could be both good and bad). The Pork Tenderloin Katsu was especially tender. The rice however was kind of hard so we weren't able to finish it. I found myself drinking lots of water during and after the meal as the katsu was very salty and oily which gave me a stomach ache, bloatedness, and lethargy which lasted for a few hours. Nonetheless, it was worth it for the taste and I could see myself coming back here for the crispy oily goodness.

We were catching a documentary at the Hot Doc theatre two doors down and needed some dinner first. This place has the crispiest and most delicious Katsu! We ordered both the Katsu and the donburi, and both were great! The Katsu comes with a delicious sauce, miso soup, serving of rice and shredded cabbage salad. Everyone was very satisfied!

Excellent lunch at this Bloor West outpost of Mr Tonkatsu. FYI not a lot of seating. Some high tables in the front seat 4 each and some standard tables (6-7) along the side probably handle 12-14 people. But they are on order platforms (delivery was busy while we were there). We had the Chicken Curry Katsu and Pork Tenderloin Katsu. Excellent quality food, prepared fresh. Totally recommend. I had the curry Katsu. It's not available everywhere so I was thrilled to find it here. It's a fave. Just the perfect amount of spicy and the right amount on the plate. Food is cooked fresh to order. Server was pleasant and responsive. Only one thing we did not enjoy was the very loud pop music. But the food was great. Check them out. You won't be disappointed. (FYI right around the corner from Bathurst Subway Station). Runs $20-25 per person.

Slapped I loved it, asked about my allergies and they talked to me and checked everything

It was my first time trying Japanese food, so I ordered takeout and then asked if it was possible to eat inside. The server said no without giving any valid reason, (which was likely a racial issue.) Now, I'm trying to figure out if I should mix the soup with rice or how it works. In conclusion, having a restaurant is nice, but it's important to learn how to serve it right and treat every customer fairly. I appreciate the chef's effort in compensating for the service mishap.

Just found this place for lunch by accident and it was a great find. As it turns out I see from their menu that they have 3 locations in Toronto, but this is the Bloor St location I am referring to. Ordered Chicken Katsu and my friend ordered the standard Pork Katsu, and they were both excellent. Great food at a great price.

Since COVID19 happened, I've been trying new restaurants and have been in a fried food phase. One random day, I was craving Tonkatsu and did some Yelping to find great reviews for this spot. I debated on trying other spots because some are more famous than this, but I adored this meal. Perhaps because this was a delivery order, the takeout container gave me a mom and pop-vibe type of meal, and I was all for it. I ordered the Pork Tenderloin Katsu with curry and enjoyed every single bite. I really wanted to spread this into two meals so I used all my willpower to save some of the curry sauce for another day. The katsu was crispy, not dry, and not too thin of a piece of meat. I would 100% come here again and order the same meal (or two orders of it).

Mouth watering food. I have no idea how to describe how delicious this meal was. It was just a delightful experience. The servers were super nice and quick with everything, including the food. Food quality was superb. I'd highly recommend this place if you're craving tonkatsu

I will never underestimate the simplicity of katsu. After my experience at Mr. Tonkatsu, I will never turn my eye away from a perfectly cooked pork katsu. I came to Mr. Tonkatsu a few weeks looking for a nice quick meal before my hockey game. It was relatively quiet for a Wednesday evening (probably due to the snow) and it was nice to be seated and served immediately. There were plenty of options on the menu from the traditional katsu setup, donburi, curry, many delicious options to select. I decided to go with the Pork Katsu with Curry on Rice. My goodness was the one of the best hearty dishes I had in a long time. The pork was fried to a great crisp, while maintaining nice moisture in the meat. The curry was full of flavour, with a nice combination of aroma and spiciness to compliment the rice. The shredded cabbage on the side serve as a nice palate cleanser and cool down if you have a low tolerance on spice. Overall, Mr. Tonkatsu has lived up to its billing for a great place for nice date night, pre or post game meal, or even just an awesome takeout option if you don't feel like cooking! I will be back soon to try their other options on the menu!

If you want original tonkatsu, this is the place for you! Crispy, tender pork cutlet accompanied by rice, cabbage and soup. There are also options to get it with soba, demi glace sauce, or curry instead. They give you a cute little mortar and pestle to grind up the sesame for your tonkatsu sauce too. I found the portion size to be just right for a dinner meal

It was my first time here but I love meat and fried stuff so I expected to like this place. I love that they came with unlimited salad and unlimited rice AND unlimited miso soup. Their presentation was cute. The tonkatsu was on a little steel tray on top of the big tray. Service was fast and the staff were courteous. What stopped me from giving it a 5 was the rice. I don't consider myself a huge rice snob but I do have expectations. It should be soft, warm with a ribbon of steam coming from it, and it should have that rice aroma. The only criterion this rice got was the ribbon of steam. Never have I ever bitten into such hard rice. I had much better rice from a Chinese food court meal that's been sitting out for a day. The waitress offered to exchange after we complained but to no avail. That rice still tore through my intestines. Overall, cute little place and it's neat. It's kryptonite was the rice.

Overall 4/5 Visited on a Wednesday evening and it wasn't too busy - there was a lot of takeout pickups at this location. We were seated promptly and given water/menus. Menu had a good selection of appetizers, donburi, katsu, and curry katsu. I ordered the pork loin curry katsu with cheese and wait time wasn't long. You could see them freshly frying up katsus for each customer and prepping your plate before they bring it to you. We were given miso soups while we waited for you food, pretty standard miso with seaweed in it. Didn't have any tofu pieces though. The katsu was soooo cheesy - you get maximum cheese pull when you take the pieces apart. I loved wrapping the cheese around the piece of katsu and dipping it in the curry. There's a side of cabbage salad which is a nice tough and the dressing they have on the table pairs really well with it - a little salty and vinegary. I also appreciated the pieces of pickled daikon radish they have for your to cleanse your palette from the fried food. Definitely recommend you trying if you're looking to have some great katsu downtown!

Tonight, I was craving a shrimp curry, but I didn't want anything too heavy and looking online I discovered a Japanese fast food place located just north of us on Bloor Street. Mr.Tonkatsu is one of those places that we have walked by for years but never really tried (because of its focus on pork), but after searching for shrimp curry in Yelp it came up as an option and we decided to try it for the first time. Located on the north side of Bathurst Street, just east of Bathurst and beside the Dollarama, the place offers a selection of tonkatsu, panko breaded dishes. While it mostly focuses on pork and chicken, they had a couple of shrimp and fish options. I opted for their shrimp curry (which included panko breaded shrimp, rice, salad, Japanese pickles and a separate container of curry sauce), while my friend had their fish tonkatsu (whitefish breaded in panko, also with rise, salad, pickles and miso soup). Both dishes were really good and worth the price (everything in Toronto has become more expensive) and is the perfect option when I am craving a simple Japanese inspired curry. The one thing I missed was some potatoes and carrots in the curry sauce, something I came to love from when I lived in Japan, but it was still a really good, quick meal.

Best Tonkatsu place in Toronto! Amazing food and service. We usually get the Pork Tenderloin Katsu and the chicken(honey butter or sweet sauce). They have takeout and delivery which is a another great option nowadays!

Me and a friend came back here on Tuesday for an early birthday dinner. The quality of their dishes haven't changed and the reception of the staff is just as warm as when I came here awhile back. I had the Chicken Cheese Tonkatsu dinner meal and my friend had a Chicken Tonkatsu Curry platel. The panko coating on both pieces of chicken was fried to a light crispness and each piece of the chicken breast was satisfyingly crunchy to the bite. My friend's curry plate was impressive in size because the rice and chicken with the curry sauce pooled out almost towards the edge of the plate. I added a poached egg for a bit of added protein with my rice and the flavors blended well. I took turns dipping my chicken portions in the Tonkatsu sauce and the yolk of the egg. Another satisfying meal at Mr. Tonkatsu :-)

Have had delivery from this location twice now and both times it has been phenomenal. First time I made two orders of the honey butter crispy chicken. Second time I ordered the tonkatsu. What makes it such a phenomenal experience is that it arrives piping hot and still CRISPY! Most friend chicken that gets delivered gets steamed in the bag and ends up being soggy. This was not the case. If anyone has had the korean honey butter potato chips, the powder that is added in top tastes just like it! Overall great experience! Looking forward to having it in the store.

I am addicted to Mr Tonkatsu. If I need to come downtown for some appt, I will come 90 mins earlier just just to have a katsu. There is no complaint about how tender is their pork loin. Btw, don't forget the free refill of Japanese Rice, Miso soup and cabbage salad with their secret dressing. If you like pork, I highly recommend. I am considered this is more like a fast food restaurant with restaurant server. Better eat slow otherwise your empty dish will collected promptly. Again, Love this place

I absolutely love tonkatsu, but it's usually something that I indulge in when I am in Asia. I was delighted to find Mr.Tonkatsu in Toronto, complete with unlimited miso soup, salad, and rice - just like the way it's done in Japan! I tried both the pork loin and pork tenderloin, and I have to say that I do prefer the pork tenderloin just a touch more. My friend who tried the chicken katsu also raved about it, so I will be trying that one next. It's a small restaurant so seating is limited. Service was friendly, but the food could've have come a little faster. That said, I would definitely come back for more yummy tonkatsu!

I hope you like Breaded Deep Fried Food. If so, Mr. Tonkatsu is the place for you. House baked fresh bread crumbs but I was still think it was a tad too oily and heavy. But we shared: Karaage Wings ($5.50) Pork Tenderloin Katsu ($13) This method of cooking does seal in the juiciness. As the price of the set includes refills of miso soup, rice and cabbage, no one is going to leave here feeling hungry. A word of warning, since it has an open kitchen concept, the floor is really really slippery from all the deep frying and of course you do smell like kitchen after eating here. Mr Tonkatsu much need A better ventilation system and a major cleaning.

Came here for dinner with friend and fellow Yelper Teresa H. She mentioned that she liked Mr. Tonkatsu so I decided to give it a shot even though all my friends know I'm not a fan of fried chicken or meat in general (crazy I know). When we got there, it was still pretty early for dinner so we were seated right away. Teresa mentioned the menu changed a bit and I had a craving for soba noodles so I got a pork tenderloin katsu with soba. Ok, I could have went without the soba because it is quite a lot of food. The soba was plain in soup and some seaweed sprinkled on top but I still enjoyed it. I really enjoyed the dressing and cabbage and miso soup as well. You can ask for unlimited refills for cabbage, miso and rice but seriously I don't know who could eat so much! My katsu itself was okay - expected since I'm not a super huge fan of fried meat but hey, I gave it a chance and thought it was good. I tried a bit of Teresa's porkloin and cheese katsu and it was very nice. I also ordered a Japanese tea ($2). It wasn't necessary because they give you lemon and water but it was necessary for me to help digest all the food I ate lol. Everything was a bit steep for me - $23 with tax and tip. A bit much for a solo dinner. I did enjoy it but it's probably one of those places I'd go with friends or once or twice a year.

During my brother's recent trip to Japan, he sent me a picture of a katsu with curry meal he had and it looked absolutely incredible. So when I found out I could get a similar dish right here in the city, I didn't waste too much time getting my butt over to Mr. Tonkatsu. Though the menu's got a lot of tasty looking options, I obviously zeroed in on the Pork Loin Katsu Curry ("homemade curry, pickled daikon"). It arrived a short time later and it's good. Actually, it's really good. The homemade curry is rich and flavorful, and the breading on the katsu is just about perfect. (The accompanying rice and salad are quite good, too.) My only real complaint is the meat itself, as it was a little on the dry and tough side. Still, I'll definitely be returning to sample some of Mr. Tonkatsu's other wares.

I've been wanting to try this place for years and finally tried it on New Year's Eve - honestly the best choice as my last dinner of 2020! We ordered the curry chicken katsu and the chicken katsu with soba noodles and I can't get over how delicious everything was!! The chicken is fried to perfection and not at all greasy or soggy - especially after being delivered. The broth for the soba noodles was so friggin tasty and the curry was mild yet perfect. I can't believe it took me this long to try it and will definitely be ordering from here again soon.

Best katsu I've ever had in Toronto. The original katsu tasted amazing, fried just right no dryness. The pork loin with cheese was delicious, stuffed with gooey cheese plus curry sauce, strongly recommend if you're a cheese lover. Also ordered crisp chicken thigh and karaage wings. Just like the name - super crispy and very juicy inside. Food was served within reasonable time and server was very polite and professional. Service was great. Will definitely visit this location again!

Been here a few times now and I've never been disappointed. Some of the best katsu I've had and not overly expensive. I ordered the Pork Katsu and my friend ordered the Pork Tenderloin, as well as the chicken wing appetizer. All were delicious, with the tenderloin being much more... well, tender. The wings weren't really needed because the katsu set was pretty filling (comes with rice, salad and miso which have free refills!). I appreciated the cute presentation of the katsu served on a metal rack. They also let you crush your own sesame seeds for the katsu sauce which I found satisfying. Our bill came up to about $40 including tax for two people.

Came back again because I quite enjoyed the food the first time around. I got the fish katsu which comes with a different sauce (tartar vs. the katsu sauce with sesame seeds served with the pork and chicken options). The fish was fried perfectly and the filet was light and fluffy. We also ordered the honey butter fried chicken to share between the six of us and it was delicious. Either the server or kitchen staff forgot one of the orders and as a result one of our friends had to wait much longer before he finally got his food. They apologized and gave him a can of Coke on the house which I thought was a nice touch. Service was definitely slower than last time but I wouldn't hold it against them.

Came here for an early dinner on a Saturday and it was pretty busy! I got the Chicken with Cheese Katsu and it was delicious. Even though the portion size was pretty large already, it's pretty awesome that there's unlimited miso soup, salad and rice! I would definitely come back to try the other items on their menu.

3.5/5, +.5 for service Mr. Tonkatsu is located in the Annex, right across from Guu SakaBar. If you want Japanese food that's not sushi, ramen, udon, or anything that's hot soup-related, this is your place. The decorations here are typical Japanese style, especially how the walls and chairs were designed. We were greeted immediately and were seated right after, as the place wasn't that busy when we arrived. The menu has a large focus on, well, tonkatsu, meaning deep fried pork cutlet. My dad decided to try the pork tenderloin katsu, while my mom had the beef katsu set, and I had the honey butter chicken, which was one of their newer items in the menu. We had the crisp squid as an appetizer as well. Overall, both my mom and dad really enjoyed their katsu sets. The meat was extremely juicy and it was not overly fried, but just crispy enough. My honey butter chicken was also very good, however it has a bit of a spicy punch if you're not spice tolerant like me. Finally, the crisp squid was an okay appetizer, but if I knew beforehand the portions would be as massive as they were, I would've probably skipped the appetizer. Service was excellent and we were attended to the whole way, including when we needed our waters refilled (some of the food was quite spicy). The food was simple, which matched the simple service we got (instead of the overly dramatic experience you get in the Guu establishments). If you like tonkatsu, I definitely recommend this place. They also have a branch that recently opened in North York if you don't wanna travel to downtown!

Sometime I crave for deep fried pork, aka, Tonkatsu! This place is so far the best in Toronto to meet my craving. Start with grinding your own sesame is very neat idea! If you weren't hungry yet, that smell will help you work your appetite! Tender loin katsu is also good! It is more juicy than loin katsu and very flavour full. I am very surprise to find they serve a very good quality Miso soup! And it is free refill! Amazing! Cabbage salad were very yummy with their house dressing, I usually at lease refill once! Damn, mouse watering as I am writing this review. Guess where I am going tomorrow, Lol

I went there first wanting to use their WiFi and turned out they don't have WiFi. But the food is so good I don't need it lol. The Katsu is the best I have ever had so far. The Pablo is crispy and the meat is tender. The rice has the right amount of consistency. The cabbage is fresh and sweet. I also like how they serve lemon water to compensate the richness of the pork. They did all I can ask for katsu, brilliant.

We were quite pleased with our meal here! It felt like being in Japan with the grinding of your own sesame seeds, the yummy tonkatsu sauce, and the unlimited miso soup, cabbage, and rice refills! The tonkatsu itself was fried to perfection! Crispy and not greasy at all. My only criticism would be the cabbage sauce. I expected it to be less heavy with sesame flavour, maybe more sweetness and tanginess would've been more what I was expecting. Overall, great place! I'd definitely go back!

A Japanese katsu(cutlet that is pounded thin and breaded and then fried) restaurant that is pretty much all they sell. It is simple and good for lunch or dinner. Went there because we were around the corner and felt hungry so we decided to try it. Got the menu and saw few appetizers and all the different katsu with couple varieties of sauce. I ordered the classic pork katsu with soba and it also came with salad(shredded cabbage), rice, miso soup and of course soba(warm). If you are hungry and wanted more rice, soup and/or salad, they offer free refill with the purchase of katsu entree. They also had this special dipping sauce for katsu. I had to grind the sesame seeds and then poured over the sauce to enhance the flavor. It felt like DIY but not really. The pork katsu was crispy on the out and moist on the inside go perfectly with the sauce. I really enjoyed the food even through I am not fan of fried food.

I came here for dinner over the weekend after much long hype about Mr. Tonkatsu. I'm not super into fried food but my meal was tasty. I had the pork meal with unlimited miso, rice, and cabbage - but the portion alone is plentiful. My partner had the chicken and I liked it Much more / very juicy and tender while the pork was sort of tough and dry. Service was very fast and friendly, portions large, and reasonable prices. The interior decor was totally fine and the washrooms were clean. I gave it 4 stars because they really rushed us out at the end to accommodate a larger table which was a bit rude - we were still eating when they asked us if we needed our bill. They also don't take Amex

Yumyumyum I love katsu. Any type of katsu. Actually, anything deep fried. Unfortunately I wasn't able to stomach a whole meal when I visited so I opted for a pound of Karage chicken wings with sweet sauce which I barely finished. The sweet sauce was interesting as it had some cinnamon-y flavour and was not so sweet. The wings themselves were breaded and crispy and came steaming in a cute little pot. I'll definitely come back for a katsu dinner!

We had both the Pork Tenderloin Katsu and the Pork Katsu meals and both were very good. You can tell the difference between the two cuts of meat, but I would be happy to eat either one of them. We ordered the extra meat option with one of our meals, and they didn't mind if I shared this with one of my kids. I wasn't sure if they would go for this because they offer bottomless miso soup and rice, but they were happy to refill our rice and soup a number of times. Breading on the pork was crispy and wonderful. We had more food than we needed, but it was hard to stop eating. I highly recommend this place if you're looking for some excellent deep fried pork.

Came here with medium expectations because it doesn't look like much from the outside, but I was very pleasantly surprised. Service is very polite and fast, and all the food is super fresh. My friend and I both ordered the cheapest pork katsu meals, and had loads to spare. The katsu was crispy and not over battered, the rice was fresh and everything was piping hot! It also came with shredded cabbage and a soup, which helped provide variety of flavour and texture. They bring you sesame seeds to grind and add to the dipping sauce which gives the whole thing a more authentic feel, and is fun to do! I would definitely recommend this place for cheap, good eats (with huge portions).

Can i give more than 5*? Please? I literally came here by chance after my friend and i were walking down bloor for like 15 minutes being undecided on what to get for dinner and came across this place cause we were just starving for literally any food. Turned out to be a 5/5 choice. Got the tonkatsu set and the pork was so tender and fried to crispy perfection, but not drying out the pork. The portion is pretty big considering you get a miso soup and cabbage salad as well with the order. Also got the chicken karaage and holy heavens it is heaven in fried chicken form, with a perfect balance of texture, seasoning, and tenderness. I direly urge you ALL to try it (make sure you ask for their hot sauce to pair with the chicken perfectly!) Service was fantastic. Fast and friendly. There is literally nothing wrong except their debit machine qasnr working that night.

Food: 8/10 Service: 8/10 Value: 8/10 (10/10 if you like cabbage salad, rice and miso soup) Close to the original quality and flavours you find in Japan. Service is very friendly but not very efficient (little slow going around in circles) Food is good. Tonkatsu is crisp outside and tender and juicy inside. Free rice, miso soup and cabbage refills. Miso soup could be better. Cabbage dressing not so good. Tonkatsu sauce is good (they provide sesame seeds. Don't forget to grind them to release the oils. Test by smelling before and after grinding) Tip: put some of the left over sesame seed on the rice to enhance the flavours Price is ok for most of the menu but the chicken karaage is overpriced. Overall a good place to fix your tonkatsu cravings.

Oh my god this place is amazing. It's a tiny shop decorated very nicely. Staff was very friendly when we walked in. We ordered the pork loin tonkatsu and the pork loin curry and they were so good!! The breading was amazing on both and the curry didn't make the outside soggy or anything. The curry came with cabbage and miso soup. The tonkatsu comes with a bowl of sesame seeds that you crush with a mortar and pestle to put into the tonkatsu sauce. It definitely adds a bit of flavor. The sauce goes really well the the tonkatsu. It also comes with miso soup, cabbage, and rice on the side. The quality of the food is awesome so it is worth it for the price. Food came out fast and we demolished our plates. Come to this place it's worth it!

Definitely the closest thing you can find in the city for authentic tonkatsu. Crispy outside and moist pork inside; the pork cutlet is cooked just right not leaving a greasy but more a crisp and clean finish on the panko. Only pitfall is the size is relatively small for one person, so this is great for lunch portions and possibly need 1-2 sides for dinner.

I've been here three times and all three visits were remarkable! I've had the karaage don, chicken karaage, chicken katsu curry and chicken with cheese katsu. Everything is DELICIOUS. I highly suggest their chicken with cheese katsu with curry sauce, it's not on the menu but you can definitely ask for it! The portions are massive! And the rice, miso soup, salad and sauces are refillable *whatttt* Definitely coming back here!

Good food, excellent service and nice place! Lots of choices for katsu. I ordered the chicken katsu with cheese and porkloin katsu with cheese. It comes with free refill of cabbage salad which by the way is really refreshing and I had 2 bowls with their house salad sauce. Also free refill of rice and miso soup. The server recommended the honey butter crispy chicken which is also very good. Taste a little spicy which is just right for me. I will definitely come back. Curious for the ground beef katsu....

This is a great spot for deep fried pork cutlet. It's one of the few places in Toronto that actually has the little pots that let's you grind the sesame seed for the Tonkatsu sauce. It's a quite a fun little activity that keeps you busy while you wait for your food. I ordered the tenderloin tonkatsu and it was a bit too soft, I personally prefer a tonkatsu with a chew so I'd recommend the Pork Loin Katsu over the Pork Tenderloin Katsu (plus the loin is a dollar cheaper). The set is a lot of food and will definitely make you full, and the awesome thing about Mr. Tonkatsu is that the cabbage, miso soup and rice are all free for refill!

This was my second time coming to Mr. Tonkatsu. The first time I came I got the chicken cheese katsu, which tasted great! This time I decided to try something different and got the pork tenderloin katsu. The katsu was very tender, juicy, and crispy. It wasn't dry and thin at all like the typical katsu you'd eat at ayce sushi restaurants. With every order of a katsu set, you get a bowl of rice, cabbage, miso soup, and tonkatsu sauce. Before you get your food though, they gave you sesame seeds which you get to grind up yourself and will be used for the tonkatsu sauce. This is apparently the traditional way of eating tonkatsu. I love sesame seeds, so the process of doing this was fun and it made the sauce even tastier! Ok I'm gonna dedicate this entire paragraph to their salad dressing. I'm not even sure what it is. I'm guessing there's some sesame oil in it but whatever it is, it tastes BOMB. This stuff is sooo good that I can literally chug it straight out of the bottle (I didn't though). Got extra rice left? Drizzle some of that dressing and eat it. No joke. That's what I did. The salad dressing is da real MVP. The staff was nice, friendly and patient. After we finished eating, we stayed for a good 45 minutes just to chat and the staff had no problem with us doing so.

Mr Tonkatsu These guys have two locations. One on Bloor and the other Yonge st. This is our go to place when we don't know what to have. They had long line ups when they first opened, but now it's a steady flow. Location: Near the corner of Bathurst and Bloor. Just a stone throw away from the Bathurst subway station. Only a few on street parking spots. That's all because they turned Bloor st into a bike friendly street. There is a green P parking near by. During the week, I believe it's $8 from 6 PM to 7AM. 4/5 stars Atmosphere: Small place. Not much seating, be prepared to sit with people you don't know. They play very loud music, therefore hard to have a conversation. The decor look very rustic. Seats are hard, non cushion seats. That's probably how they make people leave. 4/5 stars Service: For such a small place, they service was poor. Called the server to place our order, but she said hold on a second because she wanted to place the order of the table that was seated 2 seconds before us. Well if they were ready, they would have called her. Took a few reminders about getting us water. The appetizer came 10 mins after we got our entrees. 2/5 stars Food: Fair warning to all, they mainly served deep fried food. I had pork loin with cheese. It comes with rice, miso soup, and cabbage. This is also refillable, so if you're like me and enjoys rice, bring it! The katsu sauce is tasty, but when you add crushed the sesame seeds given to you, it brings the sauce to another level. The chicken tights are also yummy. I also enjoy the pork loin with cheese in curry. This is Japanese curry, so it's not spicy. The breading is made in house, and is what makes or breaks a good katsu. 5/5 stars Price: When we this place first opened, the food was reasonably priced. But it seams like they recently raised their prices. The combos is plenty for a single person. The cost for 2 combos with 1 appetizer and 2 drinks costs us about $45 4/5 stars Overall: Since they have been open, the recipes have not changed. The consistency still the same. Great food, but if their prices go any higher, it won't be worth the price. 4/5 stars Follow me for more pictures on: Instagram: 905japes Twitter: 905Japes

To be honest, I wasn't a big fan of Mr. Tonkatsu: the food tasted great but I think what bothered me was the concept of the whole set. I ordered a pork tenderloin katsu which came with rice, miso soup, tonkatsu sauce and a cabbage slaw. The pork tenderloin was amazing, extremely tender and a very generous portion, I would definitely recommend paying the few dollars extra and get this over the normal pork katsu. The slaw was quite disappointing, being very dry despite the dressing provided. The miso soup tasted very generic, nothing different than the store bought ones. Half way through the meal, I wasn't able to eat anymore due to the heavy nature of the set, I was eating fried meat over carbs (rice) with a BBQ like sauce. My body was desperately calling for vegetables but the slaw was just so dry that it did not help with the situation. Overall, good for their katsu, the rest that comes with it is not great.

You have to give this a try if you like pork katsu!! We ordered pork katsu with cheese and the chicken katsu with cheese in curry. We also got an appetizer of the crispy chicken thigh. The katsu wasn't too greasy and the cheese just goes so well with it! It also comes with rice and miso soup on the side. The curry had a mild flavour so not too spicy. The crispy chicken tasted like Popeyes chicken but it was still good. The place is kind of small so you have to arrive early. It felt kind of crowded because we had a small table up against the wall. But if you come with a big group, you will probably get one of the big tables close to the window.

Friendly staff, quick service, extraordinary food. Probably the best pork katsu in town - after all its quality is very similar to the best ones that I had in Tokyo!
