What customers say?

“ ***EXPERIENCE 1*** (Positive) 08/26/25 On this occasion, the man working the counter had a very pleasant demeanor. I ordered the Hamburger Cutlet, and my Mom got the Pork Cutlet. You get a complete meal. Both cutlets came with a side of shredded cabbage, and sides of Miso Soup, Takuan, Rice, and a dipping/topping sauce. The presentation was very nice, the cutlets were placed on grill plates so they don't sit in grease which is great. I tasted some of the Pork Cutlet and it was crunchy, tender, and juicy. My Hamburger Cutlet was the same, and it was pure meat patty, no fillers here. Overall, dining here is a great value. You get restaurant quality food at a reasonable price. And, customer service was excellent. The gentleman working the counter really was extremely nice and was a big factor in our positive dining experience. ”

“ I got the curry katsu and I've had the katsudon before and they were both delicious! Plus the curry katsu comes with a side of miso, salad and pickled veggies. It's plenty of food and the katsu was bigger than my hand. It's located at the food court area inside of Galleria market so it's an easy spot to go in and get lunch. Parking lot can get full but at 2pm on a weekday, there was plenty of parking. I've ordered from here multiple times and haven't been disappointed. Great spot ”
