| - Had a very pleasant visit here. Friendly greetings from passionate staff. Great space, good food, good portions. Don't really have anything to complain about.
I specifically came here to try the unique concept of sticking a katsu into your traditional burger to replace the burger + infusing it with Jap/Korean-style flavours. I had the delight of trying the Cheese Don Katsu burger and the Chicken katsu burger (both $10.99). About a 10 min wait because they're made to order. But the wait was worth it because, my oh my, those cutlets are HUGE! My bf's chicken katsu burger actually came with two cutlets! He had to take one out otherwise he wouldn't have been able to place it in his mouth! I was curious to see how my cheese don katsu was made, so I sliced it in half; the cheesy goodness oozed out without fail. The cutlets are mentionable: big and very crispy. The rest, not so much (slaw, sauce, bun).
I like that they're open late for my late-night hungers (late-openers in this neighbourhood are a high demand, by me). Their noodles/rice menu looks ok, their ice cream looks like it's worth a try. Since I'm a quanTity-over-quaLity type of person, I'm definitely back for a second helping of chicken katsu burger if it comes with two cutlets!
(PS. I found myself comparing this cutlet to 'Hot Star' across the street in Pmall. If I were to pick, I'd probably choose here. You're paying about the same price w/ the same wait (and prob the same parking issues, lol), and this one comes with more carbs! Sure, you're giving up some spices and crispness from Hot Star... but that's just my frugal opinion! ^^;)
