AI Spot Summary
The low-temperature fried tonkatsu, shrimp tempura, and filet cutlet, which focus on high-quality ingredients, are particularly tender and delicious. The shrimp cutlet is rich in shrimp flavor, and the cream crab croquette is also quite rich. Rice and cabbage salad are available for unlimited refills, making it very satisfying.
The store features a clean wooden decor, and the atmosphere can be somewhat noisy. There is a balance between a homey feel and a sense of luxury.
The staff provides quick and efficient service and is capable of communicating in English. There is some variation in the level of service, but the foreign staff members are good. While they do ask if you would like a refill, sometimes it is not possible to get a refill on the pickles, and this could be improved.

《Cleanliness & Atmosphere》84 points
I waited on a weekday night, as the 4th group in line, and waited about 20 minutes. The interior has a wood grain design.
《Service》50 points
The staff is the type where you call them to place your order. There were foreign staff who provided prompt service and could communicate in English. Salad and pickles were served first. The staff checked in for refills, but I couldn't get more pickles even when I requested. It's understandable that there is variability in the customer service level among the staff. On that day, only the service from the foreign male staff was good!
《Food etc.:》87 points
The sauce has a sweet, concentrated umami flavor similar to Katsukura’s special sauce. Personally, I would like to eat it with salt! I would love to have tartar sauce for the prawn cutlet. You can choose between white rice or perilla rice. The loin has little fat, which is nice, and the fillet cutlet is tender. They are particular about the brand of pork and low-temperature frying for their tonkatsu. Rice and cabbage salad can be refilled freely. * It was noted that pickles could be refilled, but I couldn’t get more when requested, so a menu revision is advisable.
