Portions are generous, a chicken Katsu curry came in a lunch deal for about $12, and the crunchy fried chicken was a pleasant surprise even as takeout. The Malaysian and Japanese fusion menu also includes mie goreng Katsu with a special chilli sauce, which is why one long-time lunch regular finds the food well-priced and dependably delicious.
