Kaede: Japanese Cafe

Best Known For

Salmon Teishoku: pan-fried salmon marinated and wrapped with kombu and sake, served with housemade yuzu ponzu, daikon, salad, pickled cucumber, rice and miso soup.

Artisanal coffee and crafted Japanese cuisine are what you’ll find on the menu at Kaede: Japanese Café on Johnston Street in Abbotsford. This cosy café always provides a warm welcome to local foodies with a rustic vibe of polished concrete, salvaged timber, trailing greenery and exposed brick walls; stop in early to pair a chai latte with a scrambled egg pan, or fluffy milk bread chicken katsu sando with white and red cabbage, Kewpie mayo and tonkatsu sauce. Those with larger appetites opt for pork loin or agedashi tofu teishoku, served with rice, miso soup, Kewpie mayo, soy sauce, sake, mirin, ginger, salad and house-pickled cucumber; or a chicken katsu curry with steamed rice, best washed down with a dirty chai latte or freshly squeezed orange juice.
