Tanuki Restaurant is a Japanese Fusion restaurant located in J-Town, Markham, Ontario, Canada.
Tanuki is a nice cozy place, it’s modern yet casual, so it’s a good low key chilling spot. The server was courteous and friendly.
We started off ordering 2 cocktails to start. One of the drinks is Yuzu Gin & Tonic.
As for food, we ordered 2 main course to share. One of them is the Tonkatsu Curry. It’s the typical Japanese curry. This is a good portion size with good amount of steam rice and the Japanese curry has a nice heat and not as sweet as other Japanese curry. I prefer not so sweet curry so this was perfect. However, I did mentioned to the server that the rice was nice and hot in temperature but the curry sauce was lukewarm so perhaps try to heat up the Japanese curry sauce before pouring the sauce onto the rice. The pork cutlet was nicely fried and prepared. Crunchy outside and juicy tender inside, which was excellent.
As for the Flying Squid Pesto Pasta, luv the flavour of the pesto and the green colour pasta. However, at $17, I would prefer to have a little bit more fried calamari. Coz after one part of the calamari for each of us, there ain’t any squid left. I would expect more portion of squid for this dish. Otherwise, it’s a nice dish.
We would like to come back to Tanuki in the summer and experience the outdoor patio. Perhaps there will be other new dishes and cocktails to try comes in the summer days.
