The food here was really solid! I ordered the fried pork set that came with rice soup, miso soup, some kimchi, and a few small side dishes. The rice soup was a bit too plain for my taste, but the miso soup totally made up for it. The pork was crispy and cooked just right Overall, a great meal at a good price. Definitely worth a stop if you’re nearby!

Great great chicken Katsu curry, huge portions but the sauce was a bit runny. Thick sauce would not made it a 5/5.

This is an underrated place. It can take a long time if the place is crowded. But the food and service is absolutely superb. It's the second time I'm eating here and this is the first review I'm writing for a restaurant in Chiang Mai, because this one truly deserves a better rating. People rate it low because of the waiting time. But the food is undeniably delicious. The best katsu in chiang mai.
