"The katsu burgers are quite substantial and come with a generous side of fries. I upgraded a couple of sides to onion rings and one to sweet potato fries, which were excellent. The cod katsu burger was particularly impressive in size—definitely not a mini version like the McDonald's filet-o-fish. The rectangular cod fillet was larger than the round potato bun, and I think a hoagie bun would have been a better fit. While it was delicious, the BBQ sauce didn’t quite complement the fish.
On the other hand, the pork, beef, and chicken cutlets were thinner, which explained the double stack. The salmon cutlet was substantial and tender without being dry, showcasing the quality of the ingredients. The flaky Panko breadcrumb coating was deep-fried to perfection, delivering a crunchiness that deserves an A+.
So why the four-star rating? While the flavor was enjoyable, the deep-fried breading masked the taste of the meat. The sauce leaned toward the sweet side, and a bit more cabbage or lettuce would have helped balance the greasiness. There are additional fresh condiments available as add-ons, though. Next time, I plan to explore the hamburger varieties.
Delivery is available through Google and Grubhub, but I didn’t notice their own website. The restaurant is clean, well-maintained, and the staff is friendly, following COVID protocols even with the confusing CDC guidelines. Let's support our local neighborhood restaurants!"
