The only good thing about Toronto's worst mall is now closing

Latest Videos

The Shops at Aura have taken quite a blow this week.

The mall, known for its general unpleasantness and lack of many good stores (not to mention its location in the basement of a condo building) just lost one of its best tenants.

Kaiju, a fairly beloved Japanese fast-food stall, announced they are closing at the end of the month. The stop was known for its made-from-scratch Japanese curry blend and Kaiju poutine dish.

❤️♥️❤️It is with heavy hearts that we announce Kaiju Toronto is officially closing its doors on October 31st, 2017. We are currently searching for a new location and we promise to update you all as soon as we've found our next home. Thank you to our friends and loyal customers who have supported us over the years! We'll miss you and please continue to keep in touch ♥️❤️♥️

Lovers of the spot do, however, have reason for optimism. The Instagram post in which the closure was announced also states the owners will be looking for a new location.

If you’ve ever been to the Shops at Aura, you can probably imagine that the subterranean atmosphere may have served as inspiration for Kaiju to find somewhere new.
