Hidden in the back of J-Town at Woodbine and Steeles, Cafe Green Tea does not even have its own sign but rather a name on a directory board. This place is actually part of the Japanese supermarket that is at J-Town, and because of this, the ingredients are guaranteed fresh. The menu also has a variety of udon and ramen ranging from $4.98, $5.98 and $7.98 as well as full meals costing $9 only (comes with a salad and drink if I remember correctly).
Either way, the curry here is excellent. I got the Breaded Chicken with Curry Rice ($6.98 + tax), which is inexpensive compared with the other curry places that I have tried. The breaded chicken was plentiful and I think it’s the best I have ever tried. It’s quite thick and is dark meat, tender and soft unlike its white counterpart. The curry seems and tastes store-bought, as it is quite thick yet has less flavour than the homemade curry from other places. On another note, most of the drinks here are a dollar each, and that includes the V8 above, which usually costs more (good source of vitamins and fibre!). I was quite full in the end and recommends everyone to give it a try. Its authenticity and quantity for the price deserves a visit just to be compared with the other places.

UPDATE 28/01/10 (Jon):
I ended up here one day and decided to try something else so I chose this dish called father's meal ($8.99 + tax) which offers a bit of everything. Miso soup, rice, 2 fried shrimps, japanese hamburger patty with ketchup, potato salad, coleslaw, and oranges. Actually I don't even know if I should be calling that coleslaw since it was really just a pile of raw shredded cabbage...not very tasty. The potato salad on the other hand...best potato salad ever. Very creamy and smooth, I just wish they gave more than that small scoop. The shrimp were pretty standard but the hamburger was good and really juicy.
