. . "Tokyo Kitchen is a new restaurant that has taken over the old Kaba Curry place in Chinatown. After walking in, the dining room has a more upscale feel to it than its previous incarnation. I particularly like the chairs in this place, they are super comfy.\n\nLooking at the menu, it looks like they are going for a casual Japanese cafe type food with a focus on curries, vegetable bowls, appetizers including okonomiyaki, and desserts. After ordering from the friendly server, I waited.\n\nThe food took an abnormally long time to come out. It was about 25 minutes after I ordered, and I was the only person in the restaurant.\n\nThe okonomiyaki came first, after taking a few bites, I sent it back because it was barely above room temperature. When it came back, the chef just took the one I sent back, and heated it up so it was burnt on the bottom. \n\nThe Katsu Curry wasn't a success as well. I kept hearing a microwave go off, and I thought that was odd. When my dish came, I understood why. The pork was tough as rubber and was separating from the overcooked panko crust, and was watery. I ate half because I was trying to figure out why it tasted so weird. The curry tasted average and the rice tasted like it had been sitting in a holder for half the day. Fortunately, the server didn't charge me for the okonomiyaki.\n\nI gave an extra star because my server was really nice and pleasant. But the food is poorly prepared."^^ . "30"^^ . "23"^^ . "2"^^ . .
