Brown Donkatsu-North York in North York

I took it out yesterday and the packaging, taste, sincerity, everything was perfect. Its hygienic.

This and Fat Ninja are my go to tonkatsu restaurants in GTA. But no one, I mean no one beats Brown Donkatsus sauce.

I like the food.

My favourite katsu spot in the city

Very delicious food, big portions and friendly staff

It was my first time trying here. Taste is above average but portion is massive. Strongly recommended.

Amazing food, huge portions, reasonably priced & fantastic service. Will return again and again.

Ramen spicy level 3 is spicy and delicious.

Amazing service, large portions, the katsu is very fluffy and tasty. Must try if you are in North York Kid-friendliness: Staff are great provided kids utensils

Best place to have a katsu!

Food is really good. Definitely coming back

Food is sooo good!!

Donkatsu is huge and delicious! service is great! Its definitely one of the best Donkatsu restaurants. Food

Its delicious and gives a lot amount of food !

I visited because I was craving proper Korean food for the first time in a while while living in Canada, and my wife cried after her first bite because it was so delicious. Its better than the Gyeongyang-style pork cutlet Ive had in Korea. The price was a little expensive, but not at all considering the quantity and taste. Ill go again. May you prosper..!

The staff are friendly and the food is very delicious.

Best Donkashu in GTA

I enjoyed the meal. The chashu don is also delicious.

Fantastic portions of meat - stayed hot and flakey, even after a 20+ minute drive home. Parking is a bit tight, but theres a small side street adjacent that you could stop on. Food

My child loves it. It s delicious and good value for money.

Good food specially the cheese sticks

Food was extremely good

So good! And big portion! Can be for two people

First time here and I was impressed. The Browndonkatsu is a must try!

good!

Great!

The servers are so friendly and the food is so delicious!! :)

This place is soooooo yummy, the cheese is like drizzling bro... I was savoring every bite like it was the last bite I would ever have.. TOTALLY RECOMMEND!!! EAT IT AND BRING YOUR WHOLE FAMILY!!!!!

THE best katsudon around here I swear. The crispiest thing ever. Even after delivered it s still so unbelievably crispy. In person it s even more unreal. I just cannot get over how good the katsu here is. Be prepared for food coma though.

Delicious food!

Nice service and great food!

The atmosphere of the store is very nice and the food is very delicious. Especially the Hot & Spicy Cheese Katsu is so delicious! I always trust you!

Amazing restaurant. Food and service is perfect. Definitely recommend.

Best donkatsu place ! Specially sauce was really good. You can choose spicy level for sauce. And the staffs are very kind and friendly! Food : 5/5 |

Fantastic! I got thr hot & spicy and it was delicious! So filling!

For what it is, its decent food. Friendly staff. They did have an interesting draw that encouraged people to give them 5 stars and get free stuff.

Best fried chicken cutlet in Toronto. Be warned, the serving sizes are huge. Could easily split between two people. Vegetarian options: Basically none other than the fried cheese. Parking: Closest free parking is across the street, 2 min walk. Wheelchair accessibility: Not wheelchair accessible at all. Stairs to get in, walkway too narrow to fit, no space behind seating. With such a small space its unavoidable.

I like the food!

A family favourite! Best Donkatsu- everything set! Great service too!

Great food and service!

Very large portions and nice staff!

This is my favourite restaurant in the area!! The portions are so big, food is so yummy, and the staff are so hospitable. 10/10 recommend!

Good food and large portions!

Excellent quality of food with friendly service

Really great portions and super friendly staff!

Straight fire

Amazing food & service!

Excellent service and delicious food!

Its been a while since I had it delivered. I felt it every time, the pork cutlet was still delicious, but it was rice. I think real rice needs improvement. I understand scooping it up with a scoop, but the rice is all crushed up, and for environmental reasons, I understand serving it on one side of the tray unless you order more, but its not coated, so it all sticks together. Rice is rice

I love their ramen which is so chewy, the soup is hot and creamy. Their menu has a lot of options. The restaurant is small but cosy. Excellent service.

Great food and atmosphere

Took too long. 40 mins for the food to cm out. Said we could be seated right away through phone but took time as well. Although the service was great and very open to feedback

Its delicious

One of my favorite Korean style katsu places in Toronto! The portions are big and all of their food are so fresh and flavorful. I had their combo which included fish and shrimp katsu. These were also very tasty. I highly recommend this to anyone who wants to try authentic Korean style pork cutlet.

amazing!

Good food, big portions

One of my fav restaurants!

Best Katsu in the area! Me and friends always visit every week! Service always makes you feel welcome Parking: Can find free parking deeper into the nearby neighborhood. Watch for no parking signs

Feel right at home every time I come. Highly recommend the combo katsu and carbo curry

Very good

The food is so delicious and the portions are plentiful. The staff are also friendly.

Fantastic food, great service, and a nice atmosphere. This is just a small restaurant but come here at least once, even if you randomly point to one dish on the menu, you will receive the best Katsu on Yonge Street

The servers are so friendly

The server is nice

The gentleman that seemed to me like he was the owner of the place is an awesome dude. 10/10 service.

Crispy!

Yumm! Love the cheese corn!

Great place to go with friends and dates

Best Donkatsu in North York! Portions are huge and delicious. Highly recommend the Jjampong ramen and cheese stick katsu, perfect for cold and gloomy days. Service is also amazing, staff and owner are so friendly and make the whole experience that much better.

I ate the basic dish, but it was plentiful and delicious. Thats why I ended up with five. It would have been better if there had been more rice, but it was still excellent. However, I think it was a bit uncomfortable because the tables were so close together.

Best Katsu in town! The batter is crispy and sauce is full of flavour! Came all the way from Mississauga for this!!

cheese good

The service is good and it s so delicious

great food great portions

Ive ordered number of times, always amazed at the amount of protein they provide. However, why is the rice always stale? Todays takeout order had 3 Katsu sets, but all 3 had like really hard rice. Feels like they were either leftover from yesterday or frozen rice being reheated. Please improve on this, Im still hoping to return but this stale rice is so difficult to eat.

great donkatsu! good portion! gonna try the tteokgalbi next time

Whenever my family wants to eat Donkatsu, we come here

Thats right, theres a lot of it!

The food is crispy and delicious . There are many different types!!

The portion was really generous, food was tasty! Highly recommend the original brown katsu. Would definitely visit again

Awesome food(really good)and portion!! U can choose the hot level for the sauces. I tried all 3 levels over time Food : 5/5

Place was small and packed but one can t complain when the food taste like this. Got the Hot & Spicy and Everything Set, both were massive and excellent. Nothing to complain about the service. Highly recommended.

So crispy and so delicious. There must be something about their frying skills. Also served portion amount is generous too. Thank you for being the fantastic Korean Donkatsu place we can go here in Canada.

Its always delicious, but it was especially delicious today. The pork cutlet was really crispy, and the Sonoya Jjamppong soup had a tonkotsu flavor, which was really good.

It was the best Donkatsu I had in Toronto. The portion is so big and the sauce is also great. I will definitely come again

Always fresh and very tasty!

This place was so cozy. The positions were huge! Love it! Will come again!

The food was excellent, the portions were generous and the staff were amazing! I highly recommend it. Will definitely come back next time Im in Toronto.

I really enjoyed it!!

It is amazing! The food is tasty and delicious! If you want good Korean food, come here!

Brown katsu has the best katsu in the world.

The best donkatsu place in Toronto. Best servers, best prices, best food period.

Amazing taste Donkatus .

The only katsu place I go back to. One of the best.

One of my favorite korean restaurants

Brown pork cutlet is a big restaurant in Jumba, even in Korea, but its really delicious here. It was the best quality pork cutlet I had in Toronto. You can control the amount of pork cutlet, the thickness of the meat, and the spiciness of the sauce, so eating it spicy makes it less spicy and more delicious. Its enough to fill an adult mans stomach, and those who dont have much food may be able to leave half of it. The service is really friendly for a Korean restaurant.

This place was amazing! The cheese filled Katsu was an overflow of cheese! It was really a cheese bomb. If youre looking for something simple and traditional, the original brown katsu is always the way to go! Excellent customer service, and billingual staff. !

The waiter was very quick, the food portion is so big. Thoroughly enjoyed the food and the atmosphere here. Will definitely come back again.

One of the best restaurant in the town

good good Nice taste

Taste good and been here for about lots time

So delicious. Wonderful

Bodied. So good.

Had a brown donkatsu and cheese bomb katsu and both tasted so good, the portion is HUGE, and the staff are very attentive. Would definitely be back!

Portions are nice and hella nice people

I really loved Brown Tonkatsu (menu) here. It tasted exactly the tonkatsu I used to eat back in Korea when I was a kid, a Korean-ized tonkatsu I may say (which is a little different from the typical Japanese tonkatsu). It reminded me of my childhood memory. If you miss that tonkatsu, you should definitely try this!

So delicious. Awesome

Wonderful staff and ultra delicious

Amazing!!!

Their service is really nice and their food is so good!! Id love to come next time!

Sooooo delicious, excellent customer service.!!!!

Amazing Crispy Katsu and the portion is great

Would I come again: YUP I love it here. Service is great and food is super good + the portion size is super generous Food : 5/5

Wow, it was so delicious that I could say it was the pork cutlet of my life. Wow, I came here before and felt it was delicious, but drinks and meat? They even gave me a service so I was very full. I really recommend it!!

Very good food and very nice servers! Overall great experience!!

Amazing food, kind service, best katsu in North York!

Amazing food and service. Will definitely be back again!!

Great food and service! The portion sizes are huge! Will definitely come back.

I had a good time

It was my first time here and the food was amazing. It was worth the price and the quality of food was so good. Breading of the Katsu was probably one of the best Ive tasted around YYZ. This place is a must.

great food, portion, atmosphere, and staff! always enjoy coming by for great katsu! special thanks to kenny as well!

Went with my friends for dinner. For the price the portions are HUGE I thought we were getting a second meal for free. Kenny, our server, was so kind and attentive. Amazing service. The atmosphere was great too. It is a smaller space but people are close enough to hear us spill our tea and deepest darkest secrets as this dinner was actually a low stakes intervention in disguise for one of our troubled friends. Hes completely free from his issues now. Thanks, Brown Donkatsu!

I usually dont write reviews, but today I was surprised by the kindness of the two glasses-wearing male employees who served at the counter, so I thought about it before leaving a review. Ive lived in Canada for a really long time, but its been a really, really long time since Ive had a meal out where I didnt mind tipping. As I was leaving my meal with my partner, I kept praising the service. Of course, the food was very delicious I guess there is a reason why the rating is close to 5.0 even though there are close to 2000 reviews. I really enjoyed it!

Great service, loved the food

I ordered a set of rice cake skewers and the portion was just right and both the pork cutlet and rice cake skewers were delicious! I liked the pork cutlet because it was very crispy I will visit again next time

Tasty , service, and portion are great. Id recommend.

Great food and great service, very friendly!

Perfect as always

Best tonkatsu in the town for sure

My wife and I find the food quality and quantity more satisfying than other restaurants that specialize in katsu. Weve been to this location a few times, and each time the staff were friendly and catering. They also checked in with the diners if more side dishes were needed. The restaurant can become packed easily during dinner hours, but the staff do their best to contact you when tables become available. Always a great dining experience!

This is a nice and cozy Korean restaurant with less than 10 tables. I went there twice in the past 3 weeks, both times were around 6:20 pm. Quite a few items were deep fried but not greasy. We had chicken, pork and shrimp. Combo portions were big, especially for deep fried stuff, should easily feed 1- 1.5 person. There was a good selection of appetizers too. If you drive, parking could be challenging, I parked 70+ meters on the side street. Parking: I parked on Connaught past Fargo, about 3 minutes walk to Yonge Street.

Its been a long time coming, and its delicious.

Its definitely the best katsu!! Im eating well.

Food was great:)

Nice food.

Its so delicious! The portion is so generous that I think it could actually feed 2-3 people.

The portion is plentiful and delicious.

Its delicious. Ill come again next time. The cheese is thick.

The staff is friendly and the food is delicious!! Revisit!!

Delicious food and good service

Very delicious

The food flavor and portion are all amazing. The cutlets and ramen were all good. Service was also amazing. The only thing that can make it better would be if there were better parking options. Spicy level 1 is pretty spicy for those who have low tolerance. Food : 5/5

Its delicious so I go again

The portions are amazing and the staff is really kind and helpful. Love this place.

Delicious food with great portions. Very well-priced!

Great food and amazing service. Portion sizes are large. Super friendly staff

Good service! Good food! Very good portion sizes. Will definitely go again.

Delicious food, humongous serving size, lovely staff and 5 star level service. Ill be regular here from now on.

Randomly walked in one night. Large portions, delicious food, the katsu was great but surprisingly the spicy ramen (not their speciality) was also top tier.

The food is always amazing everytime we visit!

I love it here, it s actually my first time. Amazing quality, taste, and portion. Amazing price too I m very happy with this place will be coming back with more people.

Ive traveled to many places in eastern and western Canada, but the tonkatsu here is the best! Kids love it too!

The rose pork cutlet was delicious and the female staff was so friendly!

Its always delicious

cheesebomb was very delicious

Nice lunch!

I love this place. Its the best Katsu place!

Great food, great service

The portion is large and the pork cutlet is so delicious!!

Great service and food

My favourite comfort spot! Service is so warm and welcoming and the food is amazing!

The portions are really, really big. The pork cutlet is really delicious. The staff is also pretty. You should definitely go there!!

Amazing food and service will be coming back definitely. Thank you guys .

My friend loves this place!

Food portion is good.service is quick and food is superb.going back to taste other katsu..i ordered terikatsu..

Gregory provided us with free drinks & good service

Great place, will be coming back

Great food, and nice atmosphere. I would definitely recommend.

Ordered a Katsudon, it was delicious as expected of the Brown Donkatsu chain. The owner was cool, friendly and accommodating vibes. Their ramen selection is more limited than their Markham counterpart, but if youre just here for Katsu that wont be an issue.

I came here with my family and ordered cheese bomb donkatsu. It was very delicious and the portion was very big. It was enough for two people to share. The atmosphere is very warm and the staff were very kind and welcoming. Definitely recommend this restaurant!

I liked that the pork cutlet sauce was moderately spicy! It was great because there was a lot of food for the price! The atmosphere of the restaurant was clean and comfortable, so I was able to have a pleasant meal. I want to visit again next time!

I came here with my family on a weekend and I really enjoyed the food. The donkatsu was nicely cooked, very crispy and warm. Their sauce was also very significant and I enjoyed every bit of it. The staff were very kind and welcoming. I highly recommend this restaurant!

The ramen was delicious and the pork cutlet was also delicious.

Delicious food and very friendly staff! Highly recommend

Last night I was there, the chicken was fried to perfection, food was served along with spicy condiments. The waitress was very nice and helpful. I ll go back there again !

Perferct for everything.

Amazing customer service!

The portion size is really large and the spicy sauce level 1 is less spicy than Shin Ramyun! it is delicious

Very good

Been there twice, food is so delicious. Pork fried perfect, crispy and not greedy. Kids love it.

Authentic Korean Donkatsu

foods nice! Staff is nice too

It is good value of money the cutlets are big, the sauce is good as well! A suggestion if for the stream rice if it can be drier it will be perfect!

I stumbled into this place called Brown Donkatsu in North York, and let me tell you, its not your typical Katsu joint. I went balls to the wall and ordered their Snow Cheese Katsu and Carbonara Curry Katsu. Now, Ive choked down my share of crappy food court slop, but this joint? Its like they took comfort food and jacked it up on steroids. The Snow Cheese Katsu is a beast. Picture this: a slab of pork, beaten thin and fried to a golden crisp, then drowned in melted cheese. Its like someone got a schnitzel drunk, hooked up with a grilled cheese, and this was their love child. The panko coating gives it this kickass crunch that reminds you of when food actually had some bite to it, you know? But the real mind-blower? The Carbonara Curry Katsu. Yeah, you heard that right. They took two completely different cuisines and mashed em together like it was no big deal. The katsu is your standard crispy pork cutlet, but then they smother it in this carbonara-curry sauce hybrid. Its creamy, its savory, its got a little heat - it shouldnt work, but damn if it doesnt. Youve got the Italian creaminess from the carbonara mixing with the Indian spices from the curry, all on top of a Japanese-style cutlet. Its like a UN meeting in your mouth, only way more productive. Both dishes come with this tangy slaw on the side. Its not just some afterthought - it actually does its job of cutting through all that richness. Its like they actually give a crap about the whole meal experience. What a concept. Look, Im not saying this place will solve world hunger or anything, but in a sea of bland chain restaurants and fusion spots that couldnt fuse their way out of a paper bag, Brown Donkatsu is a rare find. Its the kind of spot that reminds you why you bother dragging your ass out to eat in the first place. So if youre in North York and youre sick to death of the same old crap, give Brown Donkatsu a shot.

spontaneous visit after my sons hockey game.. we are a family that loves trying new food, and coming to Brown Donkatsu was perfect experience and tasted our taste buds. its not a big place nice a cozy, we where greeted by the onwer Greg, who helped us newbies with the menu and whats we should try.. Greg and his staff are very personable which was very refreshing in the resturant industry. now what we had.... fried shrimp yummy Takoyaki ( octopus fired balls) Nagasaki Ramen ( seafood spicy level one ) soooo much flavors ttekkochi ( spicy Rice CAke ) too spicy for us to finishes ***Cheese Stick Katsu with carnberries for dipping Combo with two sauces pork loin ( level 2 spicey ) very similar to Schnitzel with a twist. everything is made in house and fresh everything was great, we love the Cheese sticks the most because of the favour and freshness of the cheese, my son loved the cheese pull. until next visit

So delicious and friendly

Very delicious and nice staff!

I came here because I really wanted to eat pork cutlet. I was surprised by the size and then by the taste! The pork cutlet is very crispy and the sauce is so delicious! The two of us came and ordered the basics and cheese sticks, and I think we did really well! Be sure to try both flavors! Next time, let s try a different menu!

So good, best Tonkatsu place in Northyork!

Goooood amount of food!! Love the cheese onen

Our kids favorite place~ The staff here are friendly, the food is delicious and the portions are plentiful. Always prosper.

Yummmmmyyyy the best donkatsu place in town!
