The Japanese Curry Poutaine was SPLENDID! One of the ten best meals I ever ate. It consisted of: Yukon Gold fries to perfection, Coconut curry, Cheese curds,Wasabi/Kewpie mayo, green onion, Seaweed flakes,Wonton chips and Masago fish roe [You know those delicious tiny crunchy ORANGE fish eggs you get with sushi.] It all melded together wonderfully in my mouth. At first I thought it was a bit dry BUT THEN I noticed the miso soup was a bit well... LUMPY. And THEN I realized it was the curry and cheese curds on the side. Then I dumped it all in and rejoiced because it was just perfect.
My everlovin wife ate on it too [She liked it a lot.] and it was still a bit much for me to eat it all but I soldiered on and finished it. She had the Okonomiyaki [What you like, grilled.] original and I thought it was good but a bit plain, it could have used more greens. The service was OK we ordered at front counter and they brought it out when it was ready as much as one should expect for that set up.
I think the Japanese Curry Poutine would be enough to share next time. And the drinks selection looked pretty great but we just had the water and it was wet.
I highly recommend you get your ass to the Kensington market before they pave it all and put in that Walmart and eat here. -

Authentic Japanese restaurant serving all-day breakfast in Kensington market. From the exterior you can hardly tell that this restaurant is Japanese and it isn't a fancy place by all means... but I highly recommend trying the delicious breakfast and lunch options Film Cafe by Eative has to offer!
Sapporo breakfast - rolled tamago (egg), two breakfast sausages, two onigiri, edamame, and house salad. This basically contains everything I like and the dressing for the salad was so good.
Chicken karaage don - fried chicken on rice. Can't ever go wrong with chicken karaage.
Best of all the sets come with miso soup. I'll be back. -

I recently placed an order through ritual and decided to eat part of it inside the cafe. A few minutes later one of the employees approached me and told me I had to leave.
I asked why and he said because they charge 10% more for dining in. I explained that I paid more than that with the tip through ritual and asked if there was any way to remedy the situation. He told me again I had to leave and walked away.
There were only a handful of people in the cafe but everyone could hear what was going down and it was very embarrassing.
This is not a full service restaurant and there are no servers so this policy is baffling to me.
I literally live one block away and will avoid this place at all costs from now on. -

Love their Matcha Sense drink, although very pricey for what you get ($11 for just this drink). Their Karaage Don bowls are delicious as well; the chicken is fried just right, and is always crispy on the outside, and soft and juicy on the inside. Great place to come by with friends or just to sit and study.
