Located on the third floor of Hsinchu Big City, Ise Road Shokatsu is a specialty store focused on Japanese-style fried pork cutlets. The overall environment is bright and comfortable, and the dining atmosphere is proper, making it a well-performing restaurant within the shopping mall. It's worth mentioning that the restaurant offers unlimited refills of shredded cabbage and side dishes, which are refreshing and help cut through the greasiness, especially when paired with sesame sauce—a perfect match.

"Two-Colored Cheese Pork Loin Cutlet"
For cheese lovers, this dish is almost a must-order. The exterior of the pork loin is fried to a golden crisp, and when cut open, the two-colored cheese stretches out, making it visually and tastefully enticing. However, it should be noted that the pork cutlet is hollowed out to fill with cheese, sacrificing some meat quantity, resulting in a strong cheese flavor while the pork aroma is somewhat compressed. Nonetheless, it's a dish that cheese enthusiasts will love. 🧀

"Crispy Fried Shrimp and Pork Loin Cutlet"
The shrimp is crispy on the outside and tender inside, with a sweet and bouncy texture that rivals seafood-focused restaurants. When enjoyed together with the pork loin cutlet, you can have a dual satisfaction of seafood and meat. It’s recommended to pair it with the sesame sweet sauce or spicy sauce available at the restaurant; the former is sweet while the latter is spicy, enhancing the flavor when combined with the fried dishes. 🍤

As for the "Crispy Fried Salmon Cutlet," although it is also fried to crisp perfection without being greasy, the unique flavor of the salmon is somewhat masked by the batter, making it slightly bland compared to the pork cutlets. It’s an optional dish that you can choose to order or skip.

"Pork Loin Cutlet"
A basic option, the meat is tender and juicy, without excessive gimmicks, making it a classic choice that feels reassuring to eat.

Overall, Ise Road Shokatsu demonstrates solid performance in frying techniques and attention to detail, particularly with the cheese loin and shrimp pork loin cutlet, making them highly recommendable. If you're looking to try something new, start with these two dishes, and if you prefer a classic, the pork loin cutlet is a great choice.
