Redheads Japa Cafe

Jon Chamberlain

懐かしい！ For someone who lived in Japan for years, it’s always tough to find a place on this side of the world that hits the spot the way the places over there too. This place is absolutely took care of that. One of the first things I loved is that everyone in the kitchen is Japanese and just listening to the kitchen was very reminiscent of being back in Osaka.We ordered a handful of different dishes to try things out. Takoyaki, Ramen, Katsu, Onigiri, Gyoza, and Edamame. Everything tasted like I was in an Izakaya back there.Now that we’ve discovered this place, we will be back often.Tomo, it was great to meet you and don’t be surprised if we bring you a bottle of whiskey next time we visit!Thanks again for a great experience!

They serve Japanese comfort food (curry rice/ramen, sandwiches, etc.) and offer a weekend buffet ($24.99 adults).- Grilled salmon Japa rice burger ($4.99)- Tuna onigiri ($3.49) - standard- Nori-shio potato ($6.00) - fries weren't crispy- Takoyaki ($1.00) - octopus balls were solid. This was their weekend HH deal- Katsu curry ramen ($15.99) - curry lacked depth, noodles had no bite. Tonkatsu was good- Japa rice bowl ($14.99) - curry was richer. Good meats (hamburg, karaage, tonkatsu)- Vegetalian japaghetti ($12.99)- Japa doughnuts ($1.50) - black sesame, sakurabo, anzu and chocochip. More cake-like3.5 stars.

$24.99 for a weekend brunch buffet is a great price! They offer sliders, curries, egg bennies, side dishes, sushi rolls and more. There’s a good variety, plus a mix of traditional Japanese dish options. My personal favourite is the nimono side dish, which is quite rare to find at a Japanese restaurant!

Redhead Japa Café — Fun, Creative, and Worth a VisitOverall ExperienceRedhead Japa Café is a fun and welcoming spot with a unique personality. It’s the kind of place you can easily bring friends or family to—casual, lively, and clearly intentional in what they’re building.FoodI tried the karaage curry ramen—my first time having this combination—and it was a good experience. The egg was perfectly done, and the chicken karaage was excellent—crispy, well-seasoned, and cooked just right. The overall bowl was flavorful, even if it’s not quite my personal favorite style of ramen.I also had the spam musubi (Japanese-style spam with rice). It was enjoyable, though I do wish the spam slice was just a bit thicker to elevate the balance and texture.Presentation across the dishes was very well done, a

Very affordable dinner! For 2 $40 including tip and also got a brownie to go.

Everything we ordered was delicious and authentic. The staff were very polite and friendly, and also quick service.

I love the food. The katsu curry was really good. The price is just right for the portions. I have been to Japan many times and I have to say that the food here is very authentic.

Food was very good especially the karaage curry and service was exceptional.

Weekend brunch at Redheads is always a hit - they serve karaage, katsu, rice burgers, sushi rolls, including brunch items such as french toast (MUST TRY) and eggs benedicts.

This neighbourhood restaurant offers delicious, fresh food and a variety of drinks. Japanese Tea, Beer, etc. Fish and seafood is wonderful.

My friends and I have been here a couple of times now, and each time we've received great service and delicious food. We come here for the weekend brunch, which is a great price for the amount and variety of food that is offered.
