京厚屋 台南愛買店

"Kyoto Takeya" is a new pork cutlet shop recently opened at the Yongkang branch of the A-mart in Tainan. In addition to their signature pork cutlets, they also offer all-you-can-eat oden and spicy hot pot. This time, I ordered the curry pork cutlet set. The pork cutlet was fried to a decent crispiness, with a moderate thickness and a nice texture. The curry flavor was quite ordinary and didn't stand out, but the thickness of the sauce was just right, allowing it to pair well with the pork cutlet. However, the fried chicken didn't perform as well; the coating was too thick, it was fried too dry, and the chicken inside lacked the necessary juiciness, making it a bit tough to chew.

As for the fried shrimp, the batter was also too thick, and the taste was mediocre, with nothing particularly memorable about it. Regarding the all-you-can-eat oden and spicy hot pot, there were plenty of options, but the flavors weren't particularly impressive, especially the broth for the oden; I even found that convenience store versions tasted better. The spicy hot pot lacked spiciness, which might be insufficient for friends who enjoy bold flavors.

Overall, the prices at Kyoto Takeya are quite reasonable, making it appealing to customers who want to eat their fill, especially for those looking to try all-you-can-eat oden and spicy hot pot. However, if you have higher standards for food quality, this place may not be suitable, and I probably won't make a special trip back.

By the way, I just remembered that the restaurant employs a self-service plate recycling system, so the tables were quite dirty with a lot of food scraps and grease.
