When we arrived, they had a long line that went around ropes like at a popular ride at Disneyland. They had the very realistic wax food in the glass case, so that you can see what their food would look like. Once we got inside, the line for the table continued inside, along the wall. They have counter seats and another room in the back with lots of table seating.
Once we settled in at our seats, we received a small cup with Daikon Radish Soup. It was nice to warm up the body and soul with such healthy sip!
All the condiments for the pork cutlet was at the counter, and we got to have a great view of the kitchen. The staffs working inside the counter are the servers. Just flag down one of them and they will come over and take care of you.
I ordered Wakaba-Zen Set. The amount of food you get for the price is amazing. No wonder they have a long line of customers waiting to get in... This set comes with Pork Cutlet (Katsu), Sushi, Chilled Soba Noodles with Chicken Dipping Sauce, and a Side Salad.
The quality of sushi was amazing. The salad was fresh. The soba noodles were cooked just right. The dipping sauce for the soba noodles were nice and hot, and had large pieces of chicken and some veggies. They were so good!
Katsu was delicious! The batter was thing and crisp, lightly fried, the meat was tender and juicy, with a nice crunch with each bite! Most katsu dish come with a mountain of shredded cabbage, to cut the fat. They had sesame dressing which was great!
My husband ordered Aoyama Saika Variety Bento Box. This one was beautiful and impressive as well. It comes with Pork Cutled (Katsu) Kyoto-Style Grilled Sablefish, Two kinds of Sashimi, Side Salad, Pickles, and Miso Soup.
The sashimi was very fresh and delicious. The sablefish was so delicate, flaky yet juicy, packed with flavor. Japanese egg omelet pieces were flavorful. Still, the pork cutlet took the spotlight. It was delightful!
Since everything was so delicious, my hubby couldn't resist getting a couple of side items. We added Deep-Fried Prawn and Cream Prawn Croquette. They were both sooooo good! The batter was again and crisp. Loved every bite!
We had such great dinner here. No wonder they have long line of people waiting to dine here. Everything we had was delicious and satisfying.
