As mentioned before, (see here item 5), our baseline for Japanese food is Asian Bites. Compared to that, on my scale of 1 to 5, AB being base 0, I'd give this 4 stars... for now. I cannot comment much on the Fish Katsu as I am not really a fan of breaded seafood. I always feel as though the breading sucks up all the oil and lansa of the fish or shrimp or squid. Anyway, the Rosu Pork Loin at "3/4 inch thick, juicy pork cutlet with trimming of fat", quoted from the menu, obviously was loads better than AB's. The pork was tender and the breading was crispy and not at all soggy from frying. For the side, you can have your pick of dressing for the unlimited julienned cabbage: wasabi, sesame, and vinaigrette; all of them heavenly, although the personal preference is the sesame dressing. Of course, let us not forget the all time favorite: unlimited rice. The katsu warranted an extra rice helping for me. Then you also have the miso soup, which unfortunately tastes like all other regular miso soups. The twist for this night out? The wasabi.
Special mention to their yellow wasabi paste: Usually, we'd get that usual green stuff with not even a toddler's kick. This was exceptional. I have not had my senses, specifically taste and smell, overwhelmed like that for a long time. If GP ever gets to continue his food blog, he'd probably mention this, as well.
For the price range of 200-400 a meal, That's it. 'Til the next food trip, then. Ciao.
