🍱 Hidden gem near Eaton Center! Gyugyuya is my always go-to Japanese comfort food spot with insane portions around $15!

🔥 Must-tries:
✨ Ika Curry - Crispy squid rings + rich curry sauce = RICE KILLER!
✨ Deep Fried Pork Cutlet - Juicy thick-cut tonkatsu that CRUNCHES.
✨ Aji Hurai - Tender fried mackerel with tangy tartar sauce (beer’s BFF🍺).
✨ Oyako Don - Sweet-savory chicken-egg bowl = pure cozy vibes.

👑 Pro tips:
Split the massive Gyu King Curry platter (pork/chicken/sausage/shrimp ALL-IN-ONE!).

📍 Gyugyuya
🚇 3min from Dundas Station

I got to eat my fill of my favorite Japanese dish! I have been missing some real authentic Japanese curry since moving back to Toronto after living in Nagoya. So delicious and really hits the spot! Service was wonderful and I got to practice some of my Japanese phrases! Haha. Love this place! Thanks guys! Arigatogozimashtu! Korroke is the BEST!

Edit: thanks for keeping the skates we left behind for safe keeping

Pretty decent amount of seating. They’re quite busy on a weekday afternoon for lunch. Seemed like mostly students in the dining room.

Their food is filling and good value for what you’re paying. Staff are pretty attentive and nice. Nothing to complain about, and would recommend for lunch options in the area.

I would like to ask if we lost a presto card in your store this afternoon. Thank you.

Fantastic spot for katsu downtown. Their curry is rich and authentic, katsu is crispy and fresh every-time. Service is fast and consistent. All their servers really exemplify Japanese hospitality, they all are extremely nice and friendly.

Quick take out or chill dine-in options are both solid.

Must visit if downtown I’ve been going here for at least 3 years now and it’s stayed fantastic since day one!

I've been looking for a decent gyudon restaurant, and Gyugyuya may be it! I say "may be" because I ordered Gyu Curry, which isn't a regular gyudon. The meat was great and I liked the curry but it is a bit spicy. I enjoy a bit of heat, but my wife, who ordered the Chicken Katsu Curry, said she liked it as well but preferred the slightly sweeter and lighter curry that you'd get at the CoCo Curry chain in Japan.

I had a Sapporo beer with my dinner, which was nice, but I was given a metal cup to pour the beer into, which gave an almost metallic aftertaste to the drink. In retrospect, I should have drank it directly from the can.

I'll be back at some point to try their gyudon.

Amazing food, great portions. The service is always friendly and the store is kept very clean. The decor and bright colors make Gyugyua stand out and remain a memorable experience. I love eating here with friends, no matter what I order the quality is consistent.

Shockingly unprofessional employee. The employee there is terrible. My friend went there to pick up an order from a coupon I bought from the Fantuan app. She says she doesn’t know how to use it. Not you CANT use it. But she doesn’t know how. I call to ask what’s the problem and asks if there is anyone who can speak Chinese, since Fantuan is a Chinese app they might be able to navigate it better. She says no. Then, almost immediately after, she starts talking Chinese to my friend thinking that I couldn’t hear on the phone. Like what? And then she still can’t figure it out. And she says they mainly take orders from Uber. And said they’ve never had this kinda of order ever (the app shows 26 sold). It’s fine, we can’t use the Groupon meal, then I can order it just normally. I want the stuff in the meal can I order it separately? She says no, the things they sell in store is different than the things in the meal. Okay then, can I order the item that’s the closest to the picture shown on the app? She says no, they don’t have it the pictures are all fake. Then we leave. Because I can’t order what we wanted in the first place. Afterwards, I look on Uber eats (the app they said they get orders the most from) , and the first thing i see is the EXACT SAME PICTURE, with the EXACT SAME NAME. What does she mean she doesn’t sell it??? Each item that I wanted, had the EXACT SAME name as Uber eats. I think she just did not want to work that day, straight up lying that they did not offer the items and the picture does not exist. And the whole time she was giggling. Literally insane. Been there a couple times before, will never go again.
