Review Summary

Café Noya is a popular downtown destination known for its cozy atmosphere and Japanese comfort food, particularly its flavorful udon dishes, variety of onigiri, and high quality matcha beverages. Many visitors appreciate the welcoming vibe and fresh, well presented meals that make it a favorite spot for studying or a casual lunch. While the restaurant receives significant praise for its delicious offerings and friendly staff, some patrons have noted concerns regarding inconsistent service speeds, occasionally small portion sizes relative to the price, and variability in flavor profiles for certain dishes.

I LOVE Café Noya. As you can tell by my pictures, I come here quite often & I've eaten a lot of items here & love all of it. The food here is so satisfying: hearty, tasty & yet not too fatty. Perfect balance as Japanese food always achieves.

The chicken katsu onigiri is seriously addicting (I could eat A LOT of those). You also can't go wrong with the creamy miso udon. Honestly, everything they have tastes fantastic. My go-to, though? Spicy chicken rice with extra beef. I could eat that every day (& I almost do lol).

The location is also very convenient if you take public transportation as it's right next to Peel metro.

I'm telling ya'll, Café Noya is a gem. I love the food, I love the staff. It's my favourite place to eat at after work.

i entered with a good mood & left with a bad one. that pretty much sums it up.

to elaborate; the service was horrible. the girl with the long pony tail is cold & gives attitude for no reason, even if you're smiling she won't exchange it.

the drink was undrinkable. i was patiently waiting to ask about the drink, when i got an'are you gonna order again or?' what in the world is this attitude? is there a problem with me standing in line?

the onigiri was very bland, they do not use the right kind of rice it falls everywhere & there is only a tablespoon of filling. at least the dango was good~ 🍡 & the place is cute

won't be coming here again nor recommending it. it's downtown there are other amazing spots i was just in a hurry this time around

Discovered this little gem while walking my regular route on my day off & saw they had Omurice, which for me is a rarity in the city. I stopped by & absolutely loved my simple meal ❤? the gravy was rich & sweet & the perfection portion, although I would have like more egg & less rice. I was only there shortly but the place is cozy as hell, welcoming & reminded me a bit of intimate little shops in Japan. I'll have to come back & try the Udon & the drinks for I kept seeing them on the lot menus & they all looked delicious, especially the ube latte. Great place to have some good Japanese comfort & a quaint convo. Or just read a book :)

Absolutely amazing! The staff were very nice & helpful! There was a wide selection, choosing just one was very difficult! The desserts were very lovely! The drinks tasted like heaven & don't get me started on the main meal! All of the dishes were divine!

The food was fantastic! My wife & I shared the shrimp dumplings, which were presented in a really cool way where it looked like one big dumpling, but it was actually six! We also had the teriyaki chicken rice, & it was just right for two of us. I'd definitely recommend it. Everything is served to take home, & there's outdoor seating.
