"We constantly keep this minimalist Japanese cafe in the Mission in our lunch rotation for their excellent comfort dishes. There are pork katsu sandwiches, teishoku set meals with potato croquettes and miso soup, and, of course, a remarkable chicken katsu curry. The curry itself is flavorful and not too thick, while the meat is still juicy despite having been fried to a deep golden brown. It’s a hearty midday meal we’ll never say no to, especially when rounded out with a black sesame latte and a slice of matcha cream pie." - julia chen 1, lani conway, ricky rodriguez
