3 months agoA good attempt, but just slightly off. Ambience : comfortable booth and bar seating. Bright and clean. Food : Very good try to deliver the Japanese Pork Tonkatsu dish. However, - I ordered pork loin, some pieces were quite fatty (relative to my personal preference). - Not evenly fried, two pieces were still a bit pink, another two pieces a bit dry. - The miso soup was oily, as they added fatty pork pieces to the recipe. - The Tonkatsu sauce was a bit sour and slightly thin/runny (relative to my personal preference). Price : The dish was THB630, but after tax and 10% service charge, the bill came to THB741. They did give 200g pork loin and was a pretty filling dish, but I could not help to think for THB741 there could be many alternatives. As I have a relatively smaller appetite, hence in this case, I am leaning a bit low on the price-performance. Service : Normally good. Will I return ? Probably not, a good place but nothing too memorable, likely looking for other new experience.

3 months agoHad the Kata Aoki set, and I appreciate that they have a 150g option. My order took around 10mins to arrive. The katsu arrived sufficiently hot and crispy, although it was not as juicy as I hoped it would be and it unfortunately had a slightly porky smell. I liked that they had various salad dressings and condiments to eat with the katsu, and it was fun customizing my bites. Servers were attentive, often providing salad and tea refills. I would love to come back but I hope they improve in procuring better quality meat.

4 months agoSecond time here, and they serve some of the juiciest tonkatsu I’ve had. The pork is tender with a perfectly crispy coating, and every bite is well balanced. The staff are friendly and attentive, making the dining experience smooth and enjoyable. Free refills of rice, cabbage, and soup make it even better. Definitely worth a visit!

8 months agoWe’ve dined here many times and usually enjoy it. However, on our most recent visit the tonkatsu sauce tasted different and unfortunately not as good as before. When we asked a staff member, they mentioned the sauce had been changed. Because of this, we may not visit as often as we used to.

10 months agoI came here for dinner — the food took a bit of time to arrive, but it was worth the wait. We sat on the second floor and the atmosphere was really nice. When the food came, I was impressed by the creativity of the dishes. The tonkatsu with juiciness level 7 totally hit the spot! It was perfectly delicious even without salt, but when I tried a bit with black salt, it tasted even better. The other tonkatsu (juiciness level 5) was also good. The tonkatsu sauce was rich and flavorful. The sesame dressing had a unique and tasty flavor, and the “Uma” salad dressing was tangy and delicious too. The only thing I didn’t like much was that the soup felt a bit too oily.
