Hinoya Curry Toronto is the first Canadian location of the famous Tokyo-based chain, located in downtown Toronto at 20 Carlton St., Toronto, ON M5B 2H5. The restaurant officially launched in March 2026, bringing its Kanda Curry Grand Prix award-winning recipe directly to the city.
Overview & Vibe
Hinoya Curry is highly celebrated for its distinct, slow-simmered curry roux that follows a "sweet first, spicy later" flavor profile. The sauce is thicker, darker, and more savory than standard Japanese curry blocks. The location features a casual, fast-food-style setup with standard tables and counter seating.
