Despite being empty, decided to try it out and then found out why no one was there. Pay first, like many other fast food places and like many other places, their POS asks for a tip. I gave them a tip and soon realized that that was another mistake. Food was reasonably quick but the service was non-existant. A robot comes out with your food and you have to grab it off the delivery bot. You self serve your drinks, and afterwards you bring your tray back to their counter. No where in the process except for ordering do you get service. The food itself is bland. We got the gyudons and found a huge piece of egg shell in it (picture below). When I mentioned it to the staff, I was barely acknowledged. I'd avoid this one, as most others have decided to.

The restaurant is a self served food court style place. The food is affordable as they offer smaller portion at lower price. Ordered teriyaki rice. The meat is bland, so basically eating the rice with the sauce. Other food was ok. Got upset stomach after the visit. Not sure if it was related to the food or not.

Food is aite. Lots of options from gyu don, beef rice to katsu rice. They also got some snacks as well. Most of the rice options come on 3 sizes. The staff are friendly and kind. They got the robot bringing you food to the table. Shop is spacious. Jumbo cheese gyu don Katsu curry don If you miss the gyu dons in Japan ill say this is a goo bandaid!

I love this Japanese restaurant in Markham! It’s a Japanese fast food restaurant! The taste was authentic for me. ( I am a Japanese) I am really glad I had this option for eating out with little kids during our travel. And the staffs are very friendly and kind too!

Everything tastes like package food. We ordered the Niku Tama Udon ($14.99), the Niku Curry Udon ($12.99), and the Gyudon ($12.49). The curry tastes like straight up like those Japanese curry sauces that you get at the grocery store. The udon is just frozen packaged udon. When it comes down to quality it honestly tastes like something you can make at home. There’s nothing special about the food. Everything was overly salty to the point where you’ll be chugging water for the next hour. The only good thing about this place is that the portions are on the bigger side, but that’s about it.

I should probably go back to try their gyudon. I ordered their udon and takoyaki and it was average, good. For the price it wasn’t bad, but they do put the tempura in the udon so it gets soggy very quickly. I’m also not sure why they don’t serve dine-in orders on proper reusable plates and bowls. Only the udon is served in a ceramic bowl but gyudon and the takoyaki were served in take-out containers. There is also a robot server that serves you which I didn’t expect to see but entertaining nonetheless.

I don't know what's more impressive - the delicious food or the fact that I got served by a robot! Seriously, this place is like a food court from the future. You place your order at the cashier and then BAM! Your food magically appears on a tray, carried by a robot waiter. I was half-expecting R2D2 to roll by and offer me some soy sauce. But jokes aside, the food was seriously tasty. The portion sizes were generous and the prices were reasonable. My only complaint is that everything was served in paper containers, which made me feel like I was at a kid's birthday party. But hey, at least they didn't serve the udon in a balloon animal! If you're looking for a fun and tasty dining experience, check out Kome Shokudo. Just don't be surprised if you find yourself trying to high-five the robot waiter.

This is our new favorite restaurant on DoorDash. We mostly get the gyudon (its delicious) and kimchi, miso soup, squid and the salad options. I like how there are options that dont include rice (for people on a diet), and that they use proper heat safe containers. The food is consistently good.

Great restaurant for kids! The casual atmosphere and quick service are excellent for family dining. Food is good; We especially enjoyed the Udon. The best part was the cat robot server that the kids loved. Diner and entertainment all in one! There are also highchairs available and a kids menu.

I have been eating it since I was in high school in 2018, and my favorite is still this hot spring egg beef rice. Unfortunately, I am no longer in RH. It takes a long time to come back, so I can t order takeout like before.

July 22, 2024

As a loyal patron of Kome, I must express my deep disappointment with recent changes. Not only have they increased prices, but the portion sizes have noticeably decreased. What really infuriates me is that their current Jumbo serving is now smaller than what used to be considered Large! I used to visit Kome at least once a week for their generous portions and flavourful dishes. However, recent experiences have left me reconsidering my choice. The substantial portions I once enjoyed have been replaced with what feels like a meal on a diet plan. It baffles me why they would treat their loyal customers this way

My husband and I absolutely love ordering food from here. Our favourite is the GyuDon with spicy mayo and cavier. Ive also tried other options on their menu and they never disappoint. After years of ordering from here, I decided to finally make a review as the staff were exceptional with service during my visit yesterday while I ordered take out. I had my son with me and it was pouring rain out when my food was ready. They went above and beyond to help us out while I loaded my son in the car and helped brought out the food with me so I wouldnt have to take multiple trips to the car. I am beyond thankful and grateful for their exceptional customer service! Thank you so much!!! We will obviously be back again!

A robot brings you your food. Not an intense amount of variety on the menu but everything they do, they do well. Very kid-friendly. Usually people there but rarely need to wait for a table most weekends. Vegetarian options: Several vegetable based dishes. I cant speak to the vegetarian/vegan nature of the broth. But lots of tofu and mushrooms. Ive had these dishes and theyre great. Parking: Shared parking space, mostly full but never needed to leave to find a spot Kid-friendliness: Lots of people bring their kids. People smile at my kids instead of sneering, which I think is a solid foundation. Wheelchair accessibility: It is.

As a parent, finding wholesome and delicious options for school lunches can be a challenge, but Komo Shokudo has turned this task into a delight. Their commitment to offering healthy food for school lunches is truly commendable, making them a standout choice for families seeking nourishing options. It is not just about the food - Komo Shokudo also prioritizes sustainability and environmental responsibility. The lunch is made by using eco-friendly packaging, instilling valuable lessons about health and sustainability in the next generation. Beyond the healthy options, what truly sets Komo Shokudo apart is the genuine warmth and hospitability of its owner. The owner is very nice and shows great caring to children. When I went to the restaurant to try out the option of Chicken Katsudon for my son before I made the order through the school lunch program. Although Chicken Katsudon is not on the regular lunch menu, the owner made the dish right at the spot and explained to me the difference in the student lunch as compared to the regular menu. His genuine care and generosity create a sense of community, where guests receive a warm welcome and heartfelt hospitality.

Great food, but service is awful Staff often forget to call you when your order is ready. One particularly negative experience: I was the only customer there and one order came out of the kitchen. Asked if it was mine. No. Thats ok - maybe its a phone order. Waited 30 minutes, with mutiple follow ups, before they said it actually was.

This curry udon, which is plain udon + curry sauce, cost $11+. The 4 miniscule pieces of pork katsu, which was paper thin, cost $4.5. I think the restaurant was too focused on their margin and forgot there are many restaurants out there that offer much better value. Smart customers will eventually figure this out, so beware and good luck if you decide to continue to run your business this way...

I have been searching for a replacement for Naniwa Taro, and while this place wasn t bad, it was certainly disappointing for how many recommendations I got on it. I got the pork katsu curry, small gyu beef bowl (no rice), and some gyozas. Note that this was an Uber Eats order. The gyozas were incredibly dry, flavour was ok. The beef was actually quite pleasant, and I liked it a lot. It wasn t too dry, and was well flavoured without being overwhelming. The main dish - the curry. The katsu was so incredibly thin - I feel like the meat might have been paper thin, and the texture only held up by the panko. The curry itself didn t taste bad, but I tasted a hint of ginger, which for me, completely ruined it. The flavour profile, otherwise, was very close to what I was looking for; it wasn t overly sweet, and the spice is nice and subdued. In addition, they gave us a ridiculously small amount of curry sauce, barely enough for dipping the katsu in. I probably won t go back, but that s because I m incredibly picky with my curry. I believe most people would be ok with the sauce, but will probably take issue with how thin the katsu is. I can recommend the gyudon though.

Tried curry chicken karaage last time. Chicken is crunchy and not so oily so I decided to try Niku curry udon this time. Unexpected too salty for the beef. Hard to eat it at the end even though I drunk a lot of water. Besides the staff are nice. And all of the order are passed by the robot, quite interesting.

Came here for a quick lunch. After reading all the positive reviews, my hopes were high, but I thought the food was mediocre. You pretty much seat and serve yourselves, there s water by the cash. We ordered upfront and was served by a cute robot later. The food came fast, but quality was just okay. I ordered a tempura udon, but the tempura were all soggy once it arrived, the udon was a bit soggy as well, not the chewy kind. My Gyu Don with egg definitely had more rice than beef, I found myself rationing the beef at the end of the bowl. Overall, it was nothing impressive, but price is fair and food came quick, it s a nice lunch spot.

All were pretty good and the prices are reasonable. They also give you a free regular main dish after a few visits which seems like a decent reward program to me. Vegetarian options: Vegetarian Ramen and Don available. Parking: Very busy parking on the weekend. Kid-friendliness: Booster seats and high chairs available.

I ordered two dishes from Kome Shokudo, and only one item was delivered. I called the restaurant for a refund, but the person who answered was impolite and busy deflecting their mistake without giving an apology. I am not ordering from this place again. Not judging from the quality of food (which I do not know since I have not tried) but for their low quality of service.

Upon entering the restaurant you order at the counter. Once you sit down a automated robot brings you your food. There is complementary ice water with lemon for you to pour yourself and everything is self-service. The decor of the restaurant itself is getting quite dated and needs a little touch up but its still quite clean and enjoyable. The food itself is quite delicious and they have very very good prices for the food they serve. I ate a beef bowl along with a chicken karage appetizer and ended up paying less than $20 for a large amount of food. I ordered the smallest bowl size for the beef and even then it was still quite a generous portion. They have larger sizes available for a couple extra dollars which I am sure if you were hungry would fill you an extra amount. The beef itself was plentiful in the beef bowl and it was flavored quite nicely. When it came to the quality of the meat it wasnt the greatest but for the price I would say its definitely worth it. I would recommend this restaurant to anybody that likes beef bowls or katsu and wants to stand for a quick bite to eat. They do offer takeout as well as delivery and Im sure those options are great.

Ok to feed a female with small appetite but my male friends are left hungry. I find the gyu (beef) dons are better than ramen in general. Try the cheese gyu don if you don t mind the extra calories. Taste awesome! Pay in cash and get 5% off.

Great food! The GyuDon dishes are tasty and theres really good kids meals options. Ebi Fry was a favourite all around. Pretty generous portions, the Middle size was unexpectedly more than anticipated.

A little hidden gem that only locals know, this small and quick-serve Japanese restaurant provides quality food that is higher than what you might expect. Their basic gyudon is super yummy because of the quality of the beef they use (trust me on this), and I love the version with the torched cheese (who wouldnt?). Service CAN be slow when its busy but I honestly cannot blame the workers because I can see how turbo-like they are working. Overall, I would recommend this spot!

They arent kidding when they say comfort food. A meal of Japanese curry just makes me feel warm and happy inside. I cant say enough good things about this restaurant. Where else can you get a full meal for $10 nowadays. Quality of the curry is very good, they dont just use the curry pre-made cubes, they mix it with vegetables and spice it up. Chicken katsu is crispy and not too dry. The tofu is large and fried well. Kids menus are cheap and good portions for kids. Just make sure your kid can handle some mild spice as the curry is very flavourful. Vegetarian friendly! I cant wait to come back and try more items on the menu.

This is a hidden gem for affordable Japanese comfort food. It is never a bad idea whenever I choose to eat here. From rice bowl to side dishes to sets are all great choices. They also give you generous proportion of food. The regular size is more than enough food to make me feel full. Their karage are tasty and affordable, whenever I have a fired chicken craving I always come here. They have recently switched the reman selection with udon and is my new go-to food. I always order their Niku Tama Udon or Niku curry udon. The udon consists is always on point. If you are thinking of trying this please out you will not regret it!

It seems the food quality went down since the pandemic. I used to really like their chicken karaage and how juicy it was, but it now it tastes overcooked and not fresh. It had a weird taste to it and I ended up throwing it all away. I was really looking forward to it and was going to overlook the fact that I got the regular chicken karaage instead of the spicy chicken karaage I ordered. The spicy mayo and caviar gyudon is still very good and service is very quick.

Lunch today made me sick. I guess I got so many good reviews from someone else. I really won t come again

This is a self-serve Japanese restaurant but not really a fast food kind of a restaurant. Their menu has a variety of rice bowls, curry and udon. We ordered our food at the cashier.

Ive been here several times in the past, its a great place to grab some comfort food and enjoy. For anybody whos looking to come for their first time, you walk in and just grab your swat. You order at front and somebody (I had a cute robot handing out my food!) will bring out the food order. I ordered the Large Curry Ebi Fry ($13.49) with the combo (+$3). I picked green salad and a can of coke. The combo can come with two of the following: Miso soup, soft drink (can), or a salad. You pick two of the sbove. As for the salad, you can pick between one of the three salads: green salad, potato salad, and kimchi. The food was really good! I love their curry, nothing much to say! The ebi fry (Japanese fried shrimp) had a nice crunchy texture and soft on the inside.

This place is a self served restaurant, featuring gyu (beef) don and other items as well. 3 starts because 1) it s lacking consistency. Sometimes the rice is so soggy and overcooked, sometimes there s little to no sauce in the rice and it s just so plain and hard to eat. 2) the snack items are always sold out. They have a stamp program. Collect 1 stamp per don.

The beef rice is rich in flavor and melts in your mouth. The croquettes are full of flavor, but the only drawback is that the portions are a bit small. It would be nice if there were larger portions. The food is served quickly, the service is good, and the price is moderate.

A cute little Japanese food place where you order at the counter and pay, take a seat wherever, and a robot comes to deliver your food. That was quite interesting because its not that big of a restaurant but a niche touch. The prices here are reasonable and a lot of dishes come in 3 sizes. I got the unagi don which comes only in regular. It was great taste wise but half of the bowl was unfortunately egg instead of unagi as the picture showed.

Agree with previous post, quality and quantity has gone downhill. I suspect an ownership change, as the previous owner mainly hired Japanese staff, but this time saw a number of Chinese staff. Seems like just another Chinese run Japanese Cafe. Many corners being cut this can be seen in the quality of the food. Meals are smaller and more expensive. Katsu has only a few pieces and fried dry. Gyudon and curry rice portions are much smaller than before but price tags higher. I dont mind paying more but it would be nice to keep the portions and quality the way as before.

We couldnt finish all, so brought left over home. Also staff were friendly and made our lunch even better. Thank you so much for making our stay comfortable.

Always have a great experience with takeout from here. Very quick prep and the food is fresh and delicious. The sliced beef on rice is a family favourite, but I personally love the eel most. I m personally not a huge fan of their karaage or fried ebi because no dipping sauce beyond mayo is provided, but other members of my family enjoy them. Will continue to be a staple when we re considering takeout - always a solid choice!

The food is decent but the portion sizes are way too small. I havent left a restaurant this hungry at this price point in a while. The dishes are tasty enough for what it is. The portion size needs to at least be 50% more for this to compete with similar Japanese restaurants in this area.

First time here. Tasted like deli food at the supermarket, beef don tasted very bland and ramen reminds me of instant noodles. Came in late lunch and saw its staff napping in the seating area just like those at a Chinese restaurant. Simplified Chinese on the menu if that matters. I do understand its more like a takeout place, so kept expectations low.

This restaurant is essentially a self-served Japanese fast food place. The food quality is good, not great, but definitely satisfies some Japanese food cravings, especially since they offer a skew of harder to find dishes (well see about their ramen though, I suspect it cant be that good).

I dine-in at Kome a few years back and ordered the Gyudon and remembered it being pretty good and affordable. It reminded me of Japan, how you order and pay for the food first then grab a seat and the server brings you the food after. It was a clean establishment and friendly staff. Back to present day, Hubby & I was looking for a last minute take out dinner option and decided to try Kome again as its very close to our house. I called in advance to place an order for pick up, 3 Gyudons, 1 Curry Katsu and 1 Ramen bowl, the lady on the phone told me 10 - 15 mins. Sent my brother in law to pick it up and it was ready when he got there (probably took him 10 minutes to arrive). So if youre looking for fast and affordable this would be the place. [Gyudon] I got 1 regular Gyudon and 2 regular Gyudon with spring egg and I find that it was the perfect size and for $9.99 pretty worth. The meat and rice ratio was good, every bite had a balance of rice and meat. The only thing is, I wish it had a bit more sauce. [Curry Pork Katsu Rice] Got the large order of this, and they are very generous with the meat. It was still crispy even for take out (but keep in mind, I only live about 10 minutes away). Curry flavour is very mild. [Spicy Miso Ramen] I ordered the regular with Chicken Karaage, it comes with half an egg but I decided to add another half egg making it one full egg. The ramen was disappointing, the noodles were soggy and broth was not very spicy and tasted almost like instant noodles... The chicken karaage was good and so was the egg but overall I would not order or recommend getting ramen here.

-Portion was ok. -Chicken broth was super oily(make sure you get a drink) -Miso broth was watered down and bland -Chashu super soft but bland -Karaage chicken is dry, lacks flavor and its like they fried it in old oil -Gyudon was ok less savory compared to other stores -Rice is ok.... -More of a take out restaurant then dine in. Dont expect full service. Overall I dont recommend this restaurant even if the price was lower by a couple of dollars.

My kid liked the japanese curry as it wasn t too spicy. The regular sized beef don was loaded with beef. Overall, it was a great family meal.
