Very disappointed that I found only 4 very very small pork pieces in with fried rice. So small that it wouldn’t be worth stating in the menu. Totally not worth $25.

My friend and I went for the Roast Katsu Pork set, and we could see a clear difference in sizes between our pork katsu. The breading is kinda lacking, and the pork was not as juicy as I remembered. We also ordered the truffle fries, but the fries were kinda soggy and the oil tasted a bit off. There wasn't much truffle taste to it. You could say it was like eating a stick of oil. Overall the meal was lacking. But I'm grateful for the 15% discount on weekdays.
