Location moved inside of the Hannam Chain supermarket on Beach Blvd and Malvern. It was a little hard to find at first. They do not have their own sign and are located inside of "Magpie Superette."
I've tried both the chicken and pork katsu bowls with the Soboro beef. The katsu is nice and crispy, well seasoned. Some people are saying the katsu sauce is too vinegary for their taste, I disagree; I don't think it's overpowering at all. From my experience, Japanese/Hawaiian-style katsu sauce tends to have a bit more of a vinegar taste compared to the sauce served at a lot of Korean katsu restaurants. Not to say one is better than the other, it's just different.
The side of Soboro is nice and flavorful. Mac salad is good, it's blander (in a good way) compared to some others, but overall a good complement to the meal. Not a huge fan of the cole slaw, it has a strong fermented?? vinegar taste that I don't think complements the rest of the meal too well.
Overall though this restaurant is pretty solid. For the price, you get a larger portion of higher quality food than compared to alot of the fast food chain Hawaiian restaurants out there (Looking at you Ono, charging $15 for a minuscule portion of katsu piled on top of 4 inches of soullessly boiled cabbage). I recommend trying it.
