Nobuya

Need your fix of legit Japanese? This is the place. One man operation, original recipes, fresh ingredients. This is not a place simply run by Korean or Chinese folks. This place is seriously some good real Japanese food.
Order the Tacoyaki, the Japanese poutine, Okonomiyaki (with the Yaki Soba), you know what? Get all of it.
I’ve been to a few Japanese spots and this one has by far left the biggest impression on me.
The guy is super friendly and is working to get his patio going. Booze will be here not until a while but for now, enjoy the fantastic food.

Nobu makes some seriously tasty Japanese street-​style eats! The Shoyu Ramen and the Okonomiyaki were some of the best I’ve had! So glad this is in my neighbourhood! I’ll be back soon.

This place is definitely a hidden gem. I got the karage chicken, haddock, and Japanese poutine. It was very good. The Japanese poutine had spicy mayo and dashi flakes in it. It was amazing. There is only one chef and he was very friendly and helpful with the menu. He makes everything by hand, even the tartar sauce for the fish and chips. I would definitely recommend this place to all my friends. The price for the quality of the food is well worth it.

service: super friendly
Size: BIG
Wait time: 15 – 20 min (take out)
Taste: Good
Price:$
One owner run the whole restaurant~~ can’t complain… We should support small restaurant :)

We shared an entrée of takoyaki, fried chicken, chicken donburi and Udon.
Everything was very tasty and well made.
Check it out if you’re going to a movie at Queensway.

Finally open after going 2 days in a row to discover that they were randomly closed. I messaged the owner to ask if he was permanently closed and he was very apologetic and offered 10% off the next time I dined in. I never took him up on his offer because I felt bad.
Owner is very sweet, personable, and will describe what he is presenting, and inform you of the ingredients.
Yes, he runs the place on his own, but as he explained, he is not busy enough to hire someone for a minimum of 4hrs. So he is keeping his costs down.
As per the other reviews, yes, he does grab frozen food from the freezer that is located where the tables are. I’m sure that many restaurants use frozen foods as shortcuts, but you would never see it as blatant as this. So, to me, that was an automatic of a turn-​off.
STICK TO:
— Donburi dishes &/​or maybe
— fried foods
I had the Ramen in spicy miso broth ($ 12.49) and the broth was oily, quite spicy, & extremely salty. The owner did explain that broth was made from chicken/​pork bones, but I have never had it that greasy in any place that I’ve eaten it, re: Momofuku, Kenzo, & a coupla places in Vancouver. Grease aside, I usually drink my broth, but I couldn’t enjoy this due to the sodium overload.
Since I saw the use of frozen foods, it makes me question everything else. Is the broth a MSG-​package?
As per the other reviews, food does take time to roll out, so do not go HANGRY.
Suggestion:
That they provide free green tea or at least water to drink while waiting for food.
«AMAZING» as an adjective for the food is a hyperbole. Food is more like 2 – 2.5, ignoring courteous service.

I need to be unbiased. The owner of Nabuya is super friendly. Udon broth is also yummy, but if next he would provide us with some appetizer and set aside a dish for fried veggies and tempura, then I believe more people would rate 5 stars ;-) Now I would give him 4 stars.

Went there ⁴⁄₆ and 4/​7, 2016, around 6PM. Both days Nobuya was closed. I am not sure if this means this place is closed for business permanently, but at least the owner should put up a sign on the store letting customers know when he plans to return and open.
Random closing can happen sometimes due to unforeseen circumstances, but owner should be more responsible. Time and gas is precious, and business owners who disrespects customer’s resources should not be rewarded!!!

I came to this place with a lot of anticipation based on the pictures of the food and the reviews. I had hoped this would be a hidden gem but there were just so many flaws. Having read about the wait time, I came mentally prepared. However, I hadn’t expected to wait nearly 2 hours for 4 dishes.
It was a Saturday night at 8pm. We were a party of 2 and had to wait for the owner to clean a table because none of them were clear of dishes from the previous patrons. No biggie. Another party came after us, followed by a pick-​up order. That was all the traffic for the next 2 hours. The owner was friendly, making small chitchat with us as he cleaned the table. Asked us if we would like something to drink to which we replied water. It never came. I eventually took out a water bottle from my bag and drank from that instead.
At 8:10pm, we ordered the ramen, tempura udon, japanese poutine and chicken karaage. My boyfriend and I spent the next hour playing candy crush to kill time. At around 8:45pm, the owner came out holding a tray looking to set some stuff on our table. I got excited that it was our food but it ended up just being napkins and chopsticks.
Poutine came out at 9:10pm, karaage 9:17pm, tempura 9:25pm and finally the ramen at 9:45pm. I pretty much watched my boyfriend eat his udon (albeit stealing bites here and there) til he finished. Then it was his turn to watch me eat my ramen. So don’t come here expecting a well-​timed dining experience where you and your dining companions can feast together.
How was the food? Pretty good. I could tell the potatoes he used for the poutine ($ 6.99) were a higher grade but it was dressed and sauced with rather simple ingredients — seaweed, soy mayo and cheese. Karaage ($ 8.99 for 6 pieces) was tender and juicy white meat. Nice and crisp, drizzled in the same sauce. Solid dish but nothing groundbreaking. The highlight of the night was the amazing udon broth. So flavorful. Unfortunately, the tempura was already soggy by the time it was served. It may be personal preference but I wish it was given on the side instead.
I had so much expectations for the ramen ($ 12.49). Considering that I waited nearly 2 hours for it and the fact that it was on the pricier side with no egg… at this point, this was the one dish I wanted and NEEDED to be blown away by. It was really good but not all that amazing at that price. The menu DESCRIPTION and Unilocal photos indicated a soy-​flavoured ramen but I was served spicy miso instead. First of all, I can’t eat very spicy food. Second of all, this was a complete surprise because I was not informed prior in any way. We talked to the owner to which he said he ran out of soy-​flavored ramen that night and could only serve spicy miso. But actually, he’s going to be serving spicy miso ramen from now on. If he made the change that very day, I can overlook its omission from the menu. But if he ran out of the original flavor last minute, he should’ve mentioned it to me when I was ordering. Restaurant Managing 101. If I knew the ramen was spicy, I would’ve opted for something else instead. He apologized but lightly joked «kids can’t eat this level of spicy but adults is usually okay». No, my issue was that you did not tell me.
All things considered, I left Nobuya rather disappointed and unhappy. I don’t want to imagine how long the wait would be if there were more orders. This place is in the middle of nowhere, prices aren’t cheap and the wait is just painfully long. I really don’t think the food is good enough to make a trip if you don’t live in the area. If you do, I suggest calling ahead to place your order. The food has some real potential, but they desperately need to make changes to the way they operate such as getting some additional workers or it’s just not really sustainable.
It’s too bad because I really wanted to like this place but it ain’t worth the hassle. At this price and quality, I can dine at many other Japanese restaurants with a way nicer interior and be way less stressed.

I was here the same night that Charles C was here.
Somehow, he rated Nobuya as a 5 star establishment. No way is that possible.
Like others have said, Nobuya is ran by a single person. The owner does the cooking, the ordering and the cleaning. On a personal level, I feel bad for the guy. But from a business and a consumer perspective, it REALLY isn’t working out for him.
For example, during our dinner:
1) There were no clean tables. We had to wait for him to clean up a table before we could be seated.
2) We never received water during the entire night we were there.
2) We were given cutlery and napkins an hour after we put in our order.
3) We ordered at exactly 8:07pm. (We took photos with timestamps) Our ramen arrived at 9:52pm. The restaurant closes at 10pm.
4) We received spicy miso ramen even though we ordered regular soy ramen. I’m sure we didn’t mess up the order because we pointed at his menu, which only shows soy ramen.
Here’s the deal: Nobuya’s food is actually not that bad. Their tempura udon was really good. The chicken karage was decently fried. The Japanese poutine was unique and tasty. And the ramen wasn’t terrible even though we didn’t want it spicy.
BUT… I really can’t endorse this place. First, we waited 2 hours for him to complete our order. It wasn’t even a full restaurant. He had only one other table. It took him two hours to complete two dinner orders!
Secondly, the prices are high. Ramen was $ 12.50 and it didn’t even include an egg. Kinton, Sansotei, and Santouka are all cheaper than Nobuya and those are brand name ramen in downtown Toronto.
Third, yeah the food is good. But most of the menu is fried foods covered with sauce. It doesn’t take a skilled chef to make fried foods taste good, especially when you mask everything with mayo, teriyaki sauce and cheese.
Charles C gave him a 5 star review and mentioned that it is a fast food joint. A fast food joint that takes 2 hours to turn a table? On a Saturday night with two patrons? C’mon. The review goes on to say that it’s the best ramen in the city, but then adds that the noodles could be firmer, needed an egg and no ginger. Perfect score? I don’t think so.
The biggest turnoff was when this chef gave us spicy ramen that we didn’t even order. We never wanted spicy ramen. We wanted the soy. If you run out of the soy, that’s fine but let us know. Don’t try and sneak us spicy soy ramen without even notifying us.
Some people say that the wait time shouldn’t factor into a review of the restaurant. I don’t agree. No one should wait 2 hours for your order to be completed. And what if he has 6 tables that day? Would you wait 4 hours?
This place sucks. He can’t run a restaurant.

ONE CHEF RUNS THE ENTIRE KITCHEN. Service is slow. Food is AMAZING. This is like a home kitchen almost, a fast food joint where the chef has specials and sometimes does not have the things you want. Today was spicy miso ramen. It was probably the best ramen I’ve had in Toronto. And I search all over for the best ramen and that rich broth, firm noodles and fatty pork favour. Nobuya delivers TREMENDOUSLY. I couldn’t ask for anything better on the ramen except I wish the noodles were a bit firmer, add an egg and minus the few ginger pieces. The broth was amazing.
I also got the takoyaki and karaage which were both phenomenal. Japanese poutine I could’ve skipped out on. Pretty basic.
Coming for another bowl and hope it’s the classic tonkatsu broth this time. The meat he served was a beautiful fatty piece of pork. PLEASE COME AT ONCE AND BE PREPARED TO WAIT 45 mins for AMAZING RAMEN.

Very delicious foods and the owner is also very friendly. Recommend: Ramen and Okanomiyaki :) The owner said he would have Japanese curry soon :)

Just finished eating Ramen here. Absolutely delicious and the service is amazing. Very quick. Less than 10 minutes and we had fresh ramen soup! 5 stars! Will be back very soon :)!

Great food and friendly owner. You can tell he takes great pride in his work.
Like others indicated service is slow but it’s kind of reminiscent of a old town Japanese restaurant you see in movies.

To start, this review won’t factor in wait time. Unlike a recent previous reviewer (who clearly must have read about the wait time before deciding to eat here) I won’t base my rating on what I already knew to be an issue. The star rating here is based solely on the food.
We popped in last night on the recommendation of friends, with the wait time caveat in mind. Only a couple tables with customers but some locals have clearly worked around the wait time by calling in and then picking up orders to go. One table actually left after 15 minutes, complaining about the wait time and being late for a kids practice or something.
We ordered tea and takoyaki up front, then grabbed a table. After about 15 minutes we mentioned we would also be ordering ramen and soba. We spent quite a while chatting about how we would suggest ways to improve service times, and after about 25 minutes we got our tea. $ 2.50 for hot water in a dirty mug with a tea bag is a bit much.
The takayuki arrived about 10 minutes later. Beautiful presentation, and once the heat subsided, they were very tasty little morsels.
Unfortunately we sat beside a large fridge/​freezer which the owner/​chef/​server kept accessing to grab bags of pre-​portioned noodles and other goodies. The unfortunate part was spying all the grocery store frozen appetizer selections within.
After another 20 minutes, our mains arrived. The broth in the ramen was outstanding, best I’ve ever had. But the thick fatty piece of pork was ice cold, the fat unrendered and difficult to eat. The noodles were overcooked and mushy.
My partner’s soba was delicious. Fantastic buckwheat noodles and incredible broth. The tempura was tasty but placing it all directly in the broth resulted in soggy, floating pieces of batter.
As we were finishing our soups, the owner brought a small plate with two complimentary spring rolls with some sauces decoratively laced across. Beware these spring rolls. They are nasty, grease-​soaked, store bought, freezer burned and vile. These aren’t included in the 4-​star rating, as we didn’t order them, nor are they on the menu (I hope!). We scrunched them up into our napkins and headed to the front counter to pay.
A lot of potential here, but the super friendly and energetic owner needs some help. We really hope he finds it!

Anthony Bourdain ( Unilocalers should have a good idea of this man) has a television series out on Netflix called, «The Mind of a Chef». In the first season, we’re introduced to Chef David Chang who takes us through his inspirational journey of ramen. Kenzo seems to be one of the more popular ramen noodle restaurants in Mississauga, definitely a great avenue to get that «quick fix»…but after binge watching this show and learning the complexities of ramen, I wanted to experience ramen beyond the «chained restaurant» atmosphere.
Nobuya advertises itself as «Japanese Fish & Chips» — my first encounter here was exactly that, fish & chips. My boyfriend and I ordered take out, before leaving a couple dining-​in suggested ordering the ramen (must dine-​in). As a result of my current obsession with ramen, the boyfriend and I ended up at Nobuya Saturday evening — this was our second visit after 3 months? Walking into Nobuya we already knew what we were going to order (FYI: there is only 1 selection for ramen), we ordered 2 ramen bowls. Service is extremely, dare I say… painfully slow. Nobuya is a ONE-​MAN show, so be prepared. I believe there was 2 take-​out orders, and a couple ahead of us — we waited an hour and 20 mins to get our ramen. Once you’ve practiced patience, you’re rewarded with one of the best ramen in Toronto (5 stars) — you’ll start rationalizing why you waited so long for a bowl of soup.
Why the 3 stars Ash? Overall Nobuya is 3 stars, below is the break down;
Décor: 1 star *. Fluorescent lighting needs to be changed, tables and chairs rearranged (or maybe invest in some new furniture all together), new paint should be considered etc.
Staff: 5 stars *****. Like I said, its a one-​man operation — this guy is super friendly and kind, he just needs some extra hands.
Wait time (for food): 1 star *. If you’re hangry, just avoid all together.
Food: 5 stars *****. Well-​prepared. Great presentation. Amazing taste and flavor! Fairly priced (Ramen = $ 12.49)
Overall: 3 stars ***. ~ No pitty stars included ~

I’m going to start by saying that I thoroughly enjoyed my experience at Nobuya and will definitely be returning in the future, however this restaurant has a heavy flaw that could easily be a deal breaker for some.
Food: ⁵⁄₅
–authentic, delicious Japanese
–mostly fried, but excellently so (some of the best fries I’ve ever had)
–plating was artfully done
Service: 5/​5**
–Owner is very friendly, those his English is quite poor
-**long wait time for food (I would HIGHLY recommend calling ahead of time for both take-​out
and dine-​in)
Décor: ³⁄₅
–not much in the way of décor
–tables at the back are beside washrooms, not a problem so long as the door is closed, but
mildly odorous when it is open
As a long time fan of Sansotei, Santouka and Raijin (Yonge and Dundas ramen joints), I was thrilled to find that there was a Japanese-​owned ramen shop in the west end. Nobuya is an interesting mixed-​bag.
The food is unquestionably delicious and beautifully plated. The owner is exceedingly friendly and hardworking. The problem is that he is the ONLY person working there. He takes orders, preps/​cooks/​plates the food, and then works the cash at the end. These tasks makes it difficult to get the food out quickly, as my family and I experienced tonight. We arrived at 6:45 on a Thursday night and our food arrived at 7:45. This in itself is an almost inexcusably long wait time for a meal, however, I feel that in this case it IS excusable.
I get the impression that Nobu is a perfectionist, you can see it in the plating and you can taste it in the food. In true Japanese fashion, he takes his work very seriously and doesn’t cut any corners. So you wait a while for your food, but in return you get to try his expression of Japanese fast foods.
Please give this place a shot, but please call ahead. You won’t regret it.

How do you rate a place that has EXCELLENT food but extremely slow service?
The total time in and out the door for my partner and I was two hours. There’s only one man taking orders and cooking.
I literally watched a table of five get their meals at separate times… to the point that the first person who got their food already finished her meal and just sat there as the rest of her dining companions received their meals and ate.
But, back to my partner and I. Two hours for two appetizers and two meals.
Let’s get to the food, shall we?
We ordered the takoyaki and karaage — SO delicious. The takoyaki was the perfect amount of salty satisfaction. The karaage was so tasty with a perfect drizzle of spicy sauce on top. Both served piping hot and fresh.
Onto our main meal, we both ordered the ramen. This was incredibly delicious. It was flavourful with just the right umami. It wasn’t salty at all, which is typical of a few ramen joints in the downtown core. It was also served at the perfect temperature.
Mere words can’t describe how good this was. You have to go there and try it!
The owner apologized for the slow service. He’s such a nice guy and we really want his business to do well.
As my partner and i drove home, our conversation consisted of finding a solution to speed up the service. But my partner and I couldn’t come up with any viable solutions.
So, fellow Unilocalers, help us, help the owner find a solution to speed up service without affecting food quality. He deserves all of the success his delicious food can bring!

We came here on a Tuesday night looking for a ramen place (other than Kenzo) closest to mississauga, but not so far in downtown Toronto and it wasn’t too busy.
I ordered the takoyaki and soba with tempura and they were both very good, especially the takoyaki :) I think next time I might ask for the tempura on the side since it got soggy fairly quickly in the broth, but I still enjoyed it. My boyfriend really liked his ramen as well. Next time, I’d love to try the karaage and japanese poutine!
Nobu, the owner, was super friendly and gave us complementary instant yakisoba: D I’ll definitely come back again in the future as this might be our new go-​to place for japanese food! Also, there is free parking in the back which was great.

Was craving Japanese food and was in the area and saw JFFya! Had favourable reviews so decided to give it a shot.
We ordered:
Yakitori — juicy tasty, I would order this again
Okonomiyaki — has squid, potato, and cabbage, this was really tasty, would recommend it
Karaage — it was pretty good, unique style, the meat was tender
Takoyaki — liked this alot, 6 big pieces and really filling and satisfying
Japanese poutine — this was okay, I would say it would be better with japanese curry as gravy, as it was sort of like fries with okonomiyaki garnishings
Overall, I really enjoyed the food, and the one man show, Nobu was a great host, really friendly and the food comes out fresh and hot. Only the food was a little slow to serve but the quality made up for it. Will come back for seconds
Tips: there’s candy and ramune for sale

Definitly a must go spot for Japanese food. Great service and hands down some delishous food. Saw the menu and was very impressed by the selection and items you probably won’t find at other japanese eat spots. I am definitly coming back to eat again. I live around an hr away from this spot and I’m impressed and definitly coming back to try some more dishes this resaurant has to offer. Hands down ¹⁰⁄₁₀
Japanese korokke = life

Me and my husband loves animes and would drool over takoyaki and ramen that Naruto, Soma-​kun and other characters were eating! Lol so we looked for places that offers takoyaki (not a lot serves it) Mostly were located downtown without parking. Until we found this place online with good reviews.
So we went for take out, small place but lots of parking space. I was greeted warmly. I ordered 2 Takoyaki (of course) Japanese poutine (owners creation and boasting that the potatoes are freshly sliced everyday) really tasty; and ramen! Ramen was gòod too. He served it and explained some of the ingredients. We got free spring rolls for first time visit.
I loved the place so we went back for pick up around 9:40pm, almost closed! I asked husband to get the food so he can meet the owner. My husband came back 35 mins after. It’s not because the fòod was slow but because they were chatting! The owner was very friendly and cheerful. You can’t get such nice service very often so this place will be our favorite!

Place is small. One man show. Tucked away in an odd part of South Etobicoke. Service is slow. But I don’t mind.
Plenty of parking.
BUT the food is delicious. Authentic Japanese fast food, and also awesome fresh fish and chips.
We go at least once a week.
A must try.

Nobu is a very cheerful and good hearted man. He has worked hard to build the restaurant from ground up. I had the karage and okonomiyaki for take out as well as a bowl of ramen for dinner. They were good and reasonably priced.
I would recommend everyone to support Nobu and give his restaurant a try!

Having just moved to the neighbourhood, I had driven past Japanese Fast Food-​Ya! A few times and was intrigued. A Japanese place in Mimico? What the heck?! And not only that. A Japanese owned Japanese restaurant in Toronto?! I knew that this place would be special as soon as I saw it.
Tonight I went there for some takeout and wow… Was it ever good. I had a half hour conversation with Nobu and his father and we ordered the Japanese poutine (a very unique take on poutine– with nori, green onions, cheese, spicy mayo, pickled ginger, kewpie mayonnaise, Bonito flakes), ramen (the broth was out of this world! Beating any overly salted hipster spot downtown… plus with all the most authentic fixings and al dente noodles!), pork donburi (my husband declared it to be amazing) and pork gyoza (I’ve never met one I didn’t like.). He also threw in a few spring rolls too which was well appreciated. Then, he presented it beautifully on the counter. Probably the only time I’ve ever seen that happen for takeout.
My only suggestion for improvement would be to add some Japanese drinks… Some pocari sweat or calpico would make this my dream spot.
I will most definitely be back– this place is a true gem!

–no water/​tea available as one would expect from a japanese establishment
–took a REALLY long time to make
–service was really homely (touched EVERYTHING-​chopsticks/​napkins multiple times, chairs and jacket too)
-$ 9.99 tempura soba noodle soup was a soggy mess (deep fried. celery? and mushed tempura shrimp)
-$ 5.99 karaage and fries were decent (but unsatisfying — i think too much deep fried in one dish — nothing light to offset it?)
–atmosphere/​seating was really dingy
— i think they are definitely aiming for fast food, as the name implies — not on par with even food court quality though…
— would not recommend

A hidden gem of Etobicoke! The food is great with exceptional service from the owners who prepares your food. I do hope they get help so food can get out faster. Chopsticks fighting!

Best Ramen I ever had, and I had many even in Japan. Everything else was also yummy. The owners are super friendly. My wife and I had a blast. If we lived in Toronto we would definitely become usuals.

Very small Japanese shop with amazing customer service and great food! It’s nice being able to get a good Japanese meal on the west end. You got to try the Japanese style poutine. so good!

This place is a hidden gem! A small family owned business on Royal York, unfortunately not alot of people know about
this place.
First thing when you come in, the owner greets you with a smile on his face and seats you. The menu is small but demonstrates the chef’s expertise.
We had a party of 4 and we each ordered different things. The owner and chef Nobu, makes all the dishes as soon as you order. He will come by with a smile on his face and presents you his creation. He gives you a brief description of what is in his dish. As a Japanese person you can see he takes his job seriously and pride in his cooking. The authenticity definitely shows from how the food is presented and how it tastes.
We ordered the Japanese poutine, udon with seaweed, soba noodles with karaage, pork katsu done and I got the ramen. Everything was great, right amount of flavor and had that authentic Japanese taste. The ramen’s soup was a tad salty to my liking but the seaweed, pork, bamboo shoots and elasticity of noodles gave it an authentic Japanese taste. Owner was super friendly he would chat us up and made sure the food was OK. When he left he gave us a bar of hi chew candy.
It was a great experience. If you’re a fan of fast food or Japanese food do yourself a favor and give this place a try. Your wallet and stomach will thank you.
TL;DR. Small place, friendly service. Great food for a good price. ⁵⁄₅ must try!

Found this place by fluke on a rainy day. The place is pretty small but the ramen was authentic and delicious! Too bad the restaurant is in a bad location. The shop is owned by the sweetest Japanese family who gave us complimentary homemade spring rolls (with takoyaki sauce) and green tea packets to take home lol. Giving this 5 stars for the food and service in hopes that more people read this and support great little family owned businesses that serve authentic cuisine. They also have free parking, a small outdoor patio and very clean bathrooms :)

More people should know about this little Japanese place! It serves delicious, authentic, Japanese food that’s so very unlike the ones you find in those big AYCE places it’s refreshing. Plus, their ramen is awesome. Can’t tell you how happy these west-​enders are to not have to go all the way downtown anymore when the ramen craving hits.
The ambience is nothing to write home about. But it does make you feel like you’re in one of those secret eateries in Tokyo that only Anthony Bourdain knows about. For real.
They are all Japanese here so communication is a little challenging but service is sincere and warm.
Food. Ahhhh the food was GOOD! We had the Japanese style poutine, tempura soba and ramen (total bill $ 40 with tip and a pop so not bad at all). There were other really interesting things on their, albeit limited, menu like octopus balls so we are definitely heading back. I am still dreaming about that ramen though. And I expect with the weather getting cooler, we’ll be back lots of times.
And could it really be 5 stars you ask? Free ample parking at the back! There. 5 stars. Let’s support the little neighbourhood gems.

Excellent food. Unfortunately it’s not as fast as one would expect but it is because he ensures everything is done right. It’s under new management and I often speak with the owner and it’s easy to see he is a great person. It’s a shame this business doesn’t receive as much attentiom as it does. I highly recommend the donburi or hailbut fish and chips. Best bang for your buck.

Excellent fish & chips, and Japanese chicken. He does chips properly, and will tailor the salt to your tastes.
His food is never too greasy. Even when you do take out, the box won’t be soaked in grease like it can be at other fish and chip joints. And you can tell he changes his oil regularly.
I’ve had the Chicken Katsudon, and Halibut, both were great. The food is made to order, so you will have a bit of s wait, and the store can get pretty stuffy in the summer, but it’s worth it.

This is a great addition to the neighborhood. A unique taste of Japanese fast food. I’ve had the fried fish, fried chicken and poutine and they were all flavorful and delicious. Every dish has a signature taste that’s unlike anything I’ve had before. The guy who owns the place is super nice too. Definitely worth trying out. I will be coming here again.

Nobu’s Jap-​style fast food joint has become the new spot for my family and I. We came in on a whim a couple months back and now we’re weekly visitors!
A must order every time are the Tempura fries are crisp and delish. Try the Japanese poutine with cheese, spicy mayo, green onion and nori if you want something new. Karrage and dumplings are great for sharing.
Like past reviewers, fish and chips are awesome. I usually only order halibut at other places but the haddock here is really good! Don’t for get coleslaw. Yum
UPDATE: Just had the ramen and was so happy to eat it. The noodles are straight up Japanese with a silky broth and the tastiest pieces of pork. Ooooooh buddy!

not sure why the name hasn’t changed yet but moving on.
the food here is great! very tasty. had shrimp tempura and chicken udon as well as sausage with fries. the soup is flavourful, and even though the meat was only a few (2 – 3) pieces it was still a good meal.
the place here is clean, lively and quite small really. it’s a nice place to go with friends but in a small group. the service is great, very friendly even though english seems to be a small barrier. the guy here is by himself so it’s quite a wait if other customers are there too.
in conclusion, a nice place! will be coming again.
