Crazy Don - North York, Ontario

Update August 2018: Unfortunately Crazy Don has closed. Another restaurant is coming in this space. Damn good curry chicken katsu, item K10, for lunch from a huge menu. Honestly, for the price the two katsu pieces were generously sized, the chicken breast meat inside moist and tender, and the crust super light ... and crispy without an oily taste. I've had lunch here before and since, and the katsu was good but this particular time it was amazing. The Japanese curry sauce with potato chunks tasted exactly like what I expected, mild and a touch sweet. The mashed potato was creamy Korean style with apple bits in it, the simple salad and dressing was light, and the serving of rice might be a undersized for those who like to eat a lot of it with their meals. The miso soup was decent with pieces of seaweed in it. The cabbage kimchee was straightforward in style, as was the pickled radish, which I prefer cubed a little larger. And the cup of tea was good. I sat by the large windows facing Yonge Street and didn't wait too long for service in any way and, when it came to pay, I did so by credit card and chose the option to leave a specific dollar amount as my tip. Parking is available on the street, in a nearby Green P, and it is steps from North York Centre subway station. I hope your katsu turns out as good as mine was this time. Read more

The food is good and the service was great. My friends are not into spicy stuffs so they told the staff not spicy but when the ordered arrived it was still spicy for their taste they adjusted the soups and the chef was kind enough to go out of the ... kitchen and ensured the food was satisfactory.

The staff didn't Know that half the menu wasn't available and kept taking orders and coming back saying they didn't have THAT! the food quality was varying between dishes, some good and some very average between the four dishes we had. Beer selection was also missing most of the listed ... items. Would not want to come back Read more

I came here having really high hopes since I read a lot of good reviews. I tried their Curry DonKatsu. It came with their potato cream soup. When the soup arrived, it was lukewarm at best. Also, I found it odd how there was a sweet aftertaste to the soup. I ... didn't bother finishing it. However, I like the side dishes that they do provide considering it was unexpected. My entree was also lacking. The rice was also lukewarm at best. Secondly, I don't want my DonKatsu to be drenched in sauce, but I expected a little bit more than what was on the plate. The pork chop was seasoned nicely and had good texture. My biggest complaint was definitely the service. The original server I had was friendly and prompt to my needs. The server who took my payment looked like he didn't care about his job. I accidentally cancelled the payment on the machine and he looked extremely upset that he had to walk back over when I mentioned it was an accident. He kind of gave me a "are you stupid?" face afterwards. He walked away again. When I waved him down to give him the receipt, he didn't even bother to thank me for coming. I don't think I will be going back anytime soon. Read more

Their food is pretty alright. Place is kinda small but not many people were their at the time of my visit. Updated: they only have 2 washrooms: ladies and unisex. The lock for the unisex does not work, you'll need a friend guarding the door for you if you want ... to stay inside for a bit longer Read more
