If you come for the first time and you come around quiet hours (2-5PM), you might be a little confused with how this restaurant works. Cause I've been confused too.
The ordering procedure is to queue at the cashier, place your order at the cashier and sit on the table with your order number. Then the food will be delivered to you.
Okay, let's move on to the food itself.
There are 3 things that I've tried so far. Kurobuta special katsudon, cheese katsu, and Chicken katsudon.
First, Chicken katsudon was simply traditional. It's juicy and tasty to the core. but again, nothing special you can expect from here. Price wise, it's similar to other restaurant.
As for kurobuta special tonkatsu (do take note that special simply means that instead of scrambled, the egg was made moonlight style with half cooked yolk), I must say that the katsu was awesome. It's so awesome till I felt it's such a waste to have this meat so good cooked in broth. As a purist, I prefer to enjoy the real taste of meat. If I have to cook meat so tasty and tender, I would have grill it over the frying pan with little oil only. No, no seasoning, not even salt.
But overall, it give a pure tenderness enjoyment for katsu lovers. (Darn it! I hate it when I started to drool while writing a blog entry) The broth is again, traditional. It's something that you'll find easily in any of good Japanese restaurant.
As for the cheese katsu, it's good but not really supported by good sauce. Well, I don't really like tonkatsu sauce in the first place. It tastes weird for me. Oh, how I wish I can have some of Ichiban sushi's spicy sauce to complement my cheese katsu.
Sometimes good sauce can really give a great feeling. Just like when I have mang kiko's lechon liempo (the grilled pork), I found out that if you use hoisin sauce instead of their sauce, the taste is getting much much better. (i.e. better suited to my tastebuds)
So all in all, for good katsu, I would recommend this place. Good food, fast service. But remember, this place is semi fast food. So don't expect to stay and eat slowly.
Discern and digest!
