I came here for a particular dish but the cashier keyed in the order wrong despite expressing the dish name and number clearly. When we received the wrong dish, we were blamed for the cashier’s mistake and the owner issued a refund under the condition that they will not make the correct dish even if re-ordered. This was unacceptable customer service especially over a problem that could be easily solved on their end. Do not come here - we instead went to the cafe at Heisei Mart across the street and had a much better experience.

Extremely over priced for the small little bowl of ramen and you serve yourself, foodcourt style. Food was meh. Won't be coming back.

The only way I can describe the food is mediocre at best. Seemed like a decent value given today’s economy. Size portion is on the smaller side of average but completely acceptable given the pricing. But quality is best described as subpar but edible. I had the curry with pork #13, which is advertised as the recommended dish. Found clumps of partially mixed curry powder in the sauce. Pork was done well. Rice was slightly soggy. Also ordered a yaki udon which looked nothing like the photo on the order board. Udon was barely seared and looked just boiled it anything. Mostly cabbage and a few pieces of thin sliced pork. Not worth the charge price of $15. I was hopeful and hungry when I tried this place. I can’t recommend given all the short comings.

Food is on the lower side of average. Like it's not bad but it's definitely not worth $15 . Size is on the smaller side too. Not horrible but wouldn't recommend it.
Chairs are better now than before but u need to enter by the outside door only which is annoying...
Also why call it cafe tea? It's a restaurant and they don't have hot beverages.!
Worst part tho is the sign saying no water, which last time i checked it's illegal in canada to refuse to provide water to another human

A teishoku style Japanese canteen. Home style cooking was affordable. Food is decent but nothing too amazing. Had the katsudon and it was good. Recommended if you want a laid back atmosphere.

Oyakodon is the best

They serve great Japanese food with homemade taste to them. I'd recommend their tonkatsu curry. The curry is salty, thick, and flavourful, but not overly strong and spicy. The pork katsu is firm and crunchy, giving them a homemade taste. The portion is enough to fill you, and the price is reasonable.
Super homey and delicious! Always fresh, it’s our favorite place to get a bowl of tempura soba and curry 🍛

I love this place and go there often. The owner is a lovely lady that works hard. I was there on a day in November 2024 and the owner lady was not there. I was taken back because one of the male workers came out to do something. This worker caught my attention because as he was walking back into the kitchen and he had his hand deep down the back of his pants and was obviously scratching his ass. This really shocked me especially since I go there often and know the Japanese are known for their cleanliness. Not sure if I should point out this individual to the owner or not or simply stop going.

Ordered curry & breaded pork - would be nice if the bed of rice and curry sauce are as piping hot as the breaded pork …

Worst experience ever! I have been coming here for a long time. The food and cleanliness is getting worse. I come here just because of the convenience of shopping next door. Yesterday I asked the cashier for an extra plate because my disabled mother in law can't eat all of her food. I was going to split it with her. She told me it was against the rules because of labour costs! To put an extra plate in the dishwasher??!! How cheap and ridiculous are you people?! The pork was grey and thin, hardly any vegetables in the curry and there are never any clean tables. Dusty and dirty! You can see back into the kitchen and it's dirty as well. Washrooms are always disgusting without any toilet paper or hot water. They charge for hot water and no tap water. If they are this cheap, what else are they cutting corners on? This place has gone downhill. Shame on you guys!! Shame on the cashier for treating a customer this way!
Very nice place. Curry #13 is great.
Food is really mid 😭😭 tastes so flavourless
