Hinoya Curry

Hinoya Curry is a Japanese curry restaurant on Carlton Street in downtown Toronto, specialising in tonkatsu curry deeply rooted in Tokyo's dining culture. Originally a celebrated Japanese chain and recognised as a Curry Grand Prix champion, Hinoya opened its first Canadian location here, bringing an award-winning recipe to the city. The space features a clean, counter-style interior true to its Japanese origins. Signature dishes include the classic Tonkatsu Curry — a golden fried pork cutlet over steamed rice with a rich, deeply layered curry sauce — alongside Canadian-exclusive items such as Poutine Curry and Maple Chicken Curry. Covered by Toronto food media at its debut, the restaurant draws Japanese curry enthusiasts and downtown diners. Suited for a satisfying weekday lunch or casual dinner in the Church-Wellesley and College Street area of Toronto.
