WHY GO
If you are craving for simple yet honest-to-goodness tonkatsu, this place is the right one for you. This popular chain never disappoints—both in the Philippines and abroad.
TATLER TIPS
Make sure to go early as the restaurant reaches full house in no time. Servings are generous and katsu sets come with refillable white or brown rice, cabbage, miso soup, and fresh fruits. To tease your palate, order hearty starters such as the mozzarella katsu sticks with spicy aioli dip and the furikake fries to share. The rosu kurobuta set remains the star of the house. Its succulent meat with just the right marbling in heavenly crisp panko is simply irresistible. For an added twist, try the curry katsu version. Cap the meal off with the warm and molten lava cake drizzled with miso butterscotch and caramel crumbs. Divine!
