If I look past the hype and base my review on the food alone I think a 3 star rating is fair for this place. They do use chicken broth rather than the regular tonkatsu pork broth but I much prefer the later. I had the lunch combo and for a girl its probably a decent portion but can't see my guy friends getting full off a bowl here. Prices per bowl are slightly cheaper than others but again portion size is a bit smaller.
