really tempted
I passed on round 2 of the Zelda Symphony so would love to go to this one
I'm really tempted too. The problem I have is that I'm not sure if I'll enjoy the Pokemon music too much compared to Zelda which has a more epic feel to it.
Maybe, depends how much tickets are. The Zelda Symphony is very good, although the crowd can be a little cringe worthy at times, but they do say 'go ahead and cheer while they're playing'. Pokemon has really great music too, which might shock some people not really into the franchise. I'd wager I'll be going, but not definite.
I think Zelda lends itself to the experience more, especially the later games, with its music. But they have plenty to work with for Pokemon. I wouldn't say Zelda is any more 'epic' though, Pokemon has a lot of great battle themes to borrow from in that department. The one thing I don't care for in the Zelda show is how long they spend on the 'creation of the world' from Ocarina of Time. It's not that enjoyable of a piece to spend so long on. I think they do an overall good job of choosing songs though and I'm sure Pokemon will be the same. If anything, they'll have more music to choose from.

I love HK mcdonalds the most. Japanese mcdonalds kind of sad, I find their special burgers gross.
Chickenjoy is amazing, it all comes down to the feeling of nostalgia though.
I'm curious about location. Scarborough? Vaughan?
If it's not downtown I'll be so mad.
I like their mamons too much. Can easily eat 10 in one sitting. Been craving it so hard that I looked it up and found they have a san francisco location near my cousin's home and she's gonna hook me up next week!
I often have trouble telling white males apart. I'm not joking.
I wear funny toques and goofy t-shirts just so people can identify me.
YAS. Is there good bbtea nearby? I'm going to NY at least once this year for prep for a wedding next year (double anesthesiologist marriage wat) and have a huge bucketlist. Body is ready.. also want big gay ice creams.
All generic white dudes wear those..

Foiled again..

FS had 139 stores in Canada, I wonder how many of them will be converted to BB.

Yeah I wish they had a list of stores being converted and ones being shut down. I hope that FS at Yonge & Eglinton gets converted and not shut down. That's usually my go to "I need to price match Amazon or whoever because I'm a cheapass" place.
The Yonge & Dundas location... Well, a lotta new empty retail space is up for grabs! I swear that one is fairly new as well. Like... I think it went up in the past 10 or 11 years.

Mr. Tonkatsu
520 Bloor Street W
Toronto, ON M5S 1Y3
The Annex
Corner of Bathurst and Bloor
Service
They seemed a bit disorganized all things considered. The waitress also doubled as host and helped with the prep so I had to wait quite a bit for my bottled beer and she then forgot my wife's tea. My wife had to ask for it again after we got our food.
Food
At least this part was good! My wife got the cheese tonkatsu and I got the tonkatsu sampler. Her cheese tonkatsu was excellent and the mozzarella really raises it to another level with the slightly savoury and salty taste to complement the crunchiness of the panko. My sampler was also very good and I wish I had room for more because the panko had a very satisfying crunch to it and the meat wasn't overly dry and tough like some other places I've had it at. We also had the kara age and it was also very tasty and the chicken was surprisingly juicy as well.
Overall
We paid about 45 including tip though obviously it would be less without the beer. Definitely a thumbs up, worth a try if you want to have something different, and I will absolutely come back there again.
