Bidra med feedbackI adore the store's modern design and the menu selection on the iPad. Japanese music is always playing and there is a cool TV showing anime.
Gyutaro's atmosphere and menu bring me back to the quick and casual dining establishments I experienced in Japan.
I tried the gyudon and beef udon noodle soup, and both dishes were quite tasty in terms of flavor.
Interesting restaurant concept. It is modern and fun interior, and kind of reminds me of a fast food restaurant but there is table side service. The food took longer to prepare than your average fast food restaurant but I think it is because it is made fresh. Deep fried chicken was SO SO SO very good. So was the pork on rice, eel on rice and Katsu Don. I also tried the octopus deep fried snacks and the lava egg. The flavors are quite good and clean tasting. When ordering you can add extras like an egg to the rice bowl. Service was excellent. Price of rice bowls average around $7 to $10. I think I would be a regular here for a quick, hot meal. I would have loved the option of more vegetables e.g a vegetable stir fry or teppanyaki veggies. Then I would be here weekly as a regular. I would return here again because of service, quality of food and how clean and well maintained the space is. TIPS: 1. Definitely look for the street number. They need a sign closer to eye level so you can identify it from the sea of shops on that side of the street. 2. Green p parking is in back so after lunch we took our time walking and shopping in the area.3 Washrooms are in basement and small so recommend takeout for those with mobility issues.
I was happy to see that this wasn't yet another AYCE Japanese food place on Bloor (because there are about 6 of them now.) Not only that it's actually owned and run by Japanese people (BONUS)! The decor is modern, funky, a few tvs around (mostly streaming cp24 and another with anime w English subtitles.) They have the often loved, but not easy to find Tatoyaki (fried balls of octopus goodness) on the menu, Japanese curry (also good, mild but fairly flavourful.) Today I had the fried chicken special on rice (if you spend more than $7 during certain hours you get a free seaweed salad or miso soup.) You go up and order at the counter - both owners were super helpful and friendly, offering suggestions when asked. Then you sit and one of the hard working cooks in the back brings it to your table. Be patient, it appears that they make everything fresh, so I had to wait a few minutes but my chicken and rice and salad were brought out to me with a friendly smile and greeting. THIS FRIED CHICKEN IS AMAZING! I think I've only possibly had something similar (fried properly so it's not greasy, not many places are able to achieve this.) Mouthwatering pieces served on rice. I could eat it again right now!I'll definitely be back. They have coffee time (afternoon) specials and the service couldn't be better. Be sure to pick up a free copy of Bento Box (Japanese Culture) magazine. LOVE LOVE LOVE!
