Cafe Green Tea in Markham

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

Authentic Japanese Curry Chicken Katsu!! Will visit again!!

All tables were dirty, no one cleaned up, very disgusting

Well, it a comfy place to eat

Skipped our order and we had to wait an extra 20 minutes. Their apology was lackluster.

My go to place for lunch. Chicken katsu is a must have.

Curry rice has been on my mind since my colleagues took me there to eat it a few months ago! When my colleague worked nearby, this was the canteen where she often came to eat at noon. And me as a food blogger! I didnt know there was curry rice here! ! The curry is very fragrant, slightly spicy and just right The most amazing thing is to pair it with their rice I saw they said they use Hokkaido rice! Every piece is plump! Zundu is wonderful! A whole storm was sucked in so delicious it was licking the plate! Recommend the pork chop! Curry rice and pork chop are the standard dishes~ If you don t want to eat pork, they have chicken steak options, omelette rice, curry rice, or just plain curry rice that doesn t want anything - The freezer next door has tofu cheesecake which is also very good! Not sweet! Not boring! Just the right dessert after cooking! There are puffs next door! Another puff, double the happiness~ Go back to the freezer, buy some Wagyu beef and take it home to make sukiyaki. Life is complete! !

Visited this quaint little restaurant a couple times and absolutely love the Curry and rice with Premium Pork Cutlet - it is so delicious and the curry is amazing The cafe may not look like much at a quick glance but it is really good! It is located in J-Town and I would easily recommend that you check it out.

Tiny tiny shreds of chicken. That take up less then half a table spoon. This is their version of Chicken rice omelet. Also this meal is Labeled as it takes time yet mine came quickly and my girlfriend is waiting for her regular meal for over 20 minutes.

Small Japanese cafeteria-type spot in j-town. This is the best curry omurice I ve ever had, comparable to ones in Japan. The taste was so homemade, you can tell it was made with love.

Go to place at J town for curry katsu or curry upon Prices are reasonable. Food

The Japanese Bento was really yummy. I really like the Onions chicken rice

Food was authentic and reasonably priced

Nice spot for lunch for authentic Japanese dishes.

reasonable prices for good food

A good assortment of Japanese comfort food. They have various Japanese curry dishes, noodle bowls, and rice bowls.

Always a good place for a quick and delicious lunch bite. Updated 2023-03-02: Still the best out there. Recommended

nice and quiet spot located just beside j-town. the katsu curry don was very delicious and filling, however for the price the portions could have been more generous. regardless, a nice spot to go grab lunch in you re in the area and want to have some good japanese food!

Nice Japanese fast food place Curry, ramen, udon, etc. Good prices and portion

Probably the item I picked, but this doesn t seem to worth $15 I hear the curry is much better tho, I ll have that next time instead

The food and the price are reasonable! I love to have the Donkatsu meal and tempura udon, especially, their tempura udon always reminds me my Osaka trip. I had the best tempura udon in Osaka, Japan and its the closest one Ive found in Toronto.

Cafe Green Tea. Another great place for a short stay. Tried their whole menu. I still prefer to stick to their cold soba and katsudon which I like most from their whole menu. A very comfy and casual restaurant indeed.

EDIT : June 7 2023: As of yet, Ive received no update or any direct contact information. -------------- EDIT: Owner, i see your response below but you have not provided a Name/phone number/or email that I can contact and speak with you personally. -------------- Ive been eating here for years but the quality really has gone down. The chicken omelette rice contains almost ZERO chicken.. Ive asked them about it and the lady said its chicken flavoured, its not supposed to have a lot of meat this wasnt the case every other time Ive eaten it. The chicken on the spoon is the only chicken in this omelette. They were unwilling to remake it or offer me my money back.

Decent food, shokudo style.

Fathers Meal with Chicken is the absolute best. Its basically a Hamburg Steak, with chicken katsu, sliced cabbage, potato salad and white rice. Comes with 2 slices of oranges and miso soup. Food : 5/5

Refused to give me tap water, quite annoying. Food is fine, not bad but not amazing, food is fairly priced

A great place for a quick bite or during weekday lunches, always presented nicely and timely.

Good

Very simple cafe located in J-Town. Fairly quick service with a simple menu (but all classics). Prices are good too (although I found their bottled drinks to be a bit pricey).

Too shabby to be called a cafe

THE CURRY IS A MUST TRY!! Came here for a lunch and it is a food-court style restaurant but was blown away with the flavour and portion size!! Highly recommend and such a hidden gem! The tempura was FIRE!!!

Maybe their other menu items are better but their omurice had almost no chicken in it. I think mine only had 4 or 5 little pieces, which were unfortunately rubbery . It was basically rice fried in tomato sauce with egg over it for $12. The service was nice but some of the dishes need to be improved.

Have always been coming here. Love the food. Staff is nice.

authentic Japanese Curry

Yummy food

I purchased food for dine in. I asked for tap water for a drink. They rejected my request for tap water and directed me to purchase bottled water. Their reason was there s a government rule due to COVID that told them they can t serve tap water. They re forcing all customers to purchase bottled water rather than free access to tap water. Tap water is free.

The most authentic Japanese cafeteria style foods( ) in TORONTO super legit. Every time I miss the taste of Japan I come here. Best Japanese Curry in Toronto. They are the only one who serves (Japanese style hamburger[beef patty]with rice as a set) very special Japanese local food that you could only find in here. But the price just a bit more than Japan s cafeteria restaurant . served regular Japanese quantity just ok not gonna get too full. Definitely not the place to make a pig of yourself.

Good portion but missing veggie

Had a craving for Japanese curry so I went to my goto place J-Town Cafe Green Tea. Had to post the updated prices for everyone $1.00 more for the curry rice meals and $2.00 more the meal set. Good food for a quick bite. Need more drink selections had to go across to grocery store to get my Mr. Boss canned coffee. No complaints keep up the good job. GANBATTE! FIGHTING!

Great food and staff as always.

Simple and delicious food, never disappoints!! All the curry dishes are awesome and the zaru soba I had was fantastic. More of a restaurant than a cafe .

Delicious food with reasonable price and nice staff.

Where can you dine in with this price in GTA? I was surprised by their price. They make few Asian dishes in home made style. It reminded me the time back when I was studying in Japan. The portion is not big but reasonable. Curry is good but I found it quite spicy for me it was good. I think many people enjoys coming and take out here so it gets busy sometimes

One of the best Japanese curry rice available in town with very good pricing still. The restaurant is a bit out dated and could have been a bit more clean.

Japanese meals with reasonable prices. Great place for a quick lunch or dinner. Service is fast and staff is friendly. Located on the right side of bakery nakamura.

One of our favourite places to grab a bite with the family. It has been too long with the pandemic.

Somewhat run down feeling and service is not top notch (mostly self-service) but we like eating here (most of food is delicious as Japanese moms food).

Curry katsu is amazing here, great for takeout too!

Truly a hidden gem. Delicious Soba and Udon, Cury rice and Bentob sets at $10! I live in Japan for 2 years and this place is legit. Really recommend it to everyone!

Their Shokupan (plain loaf of bread) the best we have ever tasted. Texture remains super soft and tender even after a couple days.

Visited on Saturday mid afternoon so the cosy place, had space and tables free. I noticed a good selection of Japanese cuisine. The dishes are displayed on a big board so easy to decide what you want. The staff were polite and efficient. Prices were reasonable. .

The worst experience... They think nothing about customers.. Will not come back again here

very bad experience bad service and never recognize their fault!!!

Great place to come for lunch! The menu offers a wide variety of Japanese comfort food.

I did not got my shrimp even though I said I wanna add a shrimp to my dish and paid for it. Then I start eating because I tried to talk to both cashier and staff and they were like it s none of their business. And I just want my shrimp. Then I finished my dishes and they came to me and said because I ve already finished, they cannot change the dish for me. But certainly you can bring me shrimp right? That s hilarious. Never back again

i did not get what i ordered and the cashier and staff here were like its none of their business.

Delicious

Yaki soba in the back and cold soba noodles with tempura in the front. With green teas. Was yummy and very casual environment. Slightly smaller portion than I was expecting but I didn t mind.

It was pretty good

Nor a francy place for family gathering. Very simple dishes. But you can taste the freshness of the meal. The egg and meat are not overcooked. Just right and juicy. Good one!

Had a hankering for Japanese curry after living in Japan for a while. The only place I know that serves it, and it is delicious. Also a good price to boot.

Love their don Katsu! Their Japanese rice is one of the best that I have ever tasted! To kept price down they have shrunk the portion of the pork chops a little but still really good.

Cafeteria style food of good quality. Portions have shrunk and no longer worth the price. Curry and tomato sauces are a bit sweet for my taste. Disappointed. Rice is good though!

Delicious Japanese curry with breaded chicken/pork/shrimp.

Had the chicken oyakodon and chicken katsu curry. Portions were kind of small but everything tasted really good. I found the food incredibly salty though so not sure Id come back to eat here. Service is really quick though and very homey. Very affordable as well. Nothing fancy here but if you want quick tasty meal this is your place.

Authentic Japanese comfort food. Reminds me of my childhood:)

Food was okay but pricey for cafeteria style.

Homestyle Japanese food - Quick, affordable, and tasty. Portions were decent. Would recommend the oyakodon or katsudon!

Japanese comfort food

Great Japanese style curry.

Been here for many years, and its always consistent and great tasting! Love the omelette rice here, really hard to find good ones and to make at home, at least for me. Weekends are always packed, youre better off during the weekday for faster food prep time. I give them 8.5/10!

Really great lunch spot. Food and price are good!

The omurice and curry are great! They also do takeout which is convenient when you dont have time to stick around. The prices are fairly decent too, and the meals are filling.

Located inside J-town, you have to walk all the way to the end to get to this restaurant. When you walk inside, it looks like a cafeteria. Walk right up to the front and you will get a host of japanese food that you can pick. The prices are reasonable. I ordered the katsu-don but you can order other stuff like their curry cutlet on rice or tempura on noodle. Once you order and pay, you will be given a number which they will call out and you have to go and pickup. The food taste was ok. I wouldnt say that I was blown away but it was reasonable for the price. This place gets extremely busy during the weekends. Mainly cantonese customers coming in to eat. If I am looking for a quick japanese food for about $10, then id come again.

It was very authentic Japanese food. Although it is deep fried pork, the taste was very simple and fresh

I enjoy the food. Good portion for the price. Staff are friendly. Best of all I get to buy more food after I eat.

For a gluten-free option, ask for the oyako-don (rice with chicken and egg). Note that it is cooked in the same pan as non gluten free cutlet so let them know when you order to ask for a new pan.

My go-to lunch spot at Jtown. Limited menu focused on curry, quick service.

Enjoyed shopping and a friendly environment thanks

I had Tonkatsu teisyoku. It was very nice!

Authentic Japanese Food. Will go back again.

Very reasonable price, not too crowded, the deep fly pork with Japanese curry is good

The Curry rice was cold

Good lunch portion. Comes with salad and soup for any pasta over $12. I ordered the bolognese , decent but salad dressing no longer the same as before. Slightly disappointed.

It is ok...

Always a great quiet place to have a meal at. The restaurant has a great little shop inside. Food is always fresh and delicious. Its a little hard to find. Once you park you have to walk into the strip mall, up the stairs, and its located at the back.

I have been to this place for at least a hundred times. Used to love their curry pork with rice. The pork chop used to be very juicy, but I guess they hired another chef. It was not as good as before.

high quality good and tasting japanese food.

Great value and amazing food quality

Great curry! I cant get enough!

GOOD!

Small cafe style lunch. Consistent flavor. No surprise each time I visit.

One star is flattery. This restaurant offers the worst Japanese dining experience ever. It is absolutely shocking that someone with such poor culinary skills would present the disgusting food to the public which I wouldnt give to my dog. I have more than 35 years of Japanese food and I can declare this is the worst Japanese restaurant run by Japanese.
