88 Jumbo Tonkatsu $19.88 – Average. Very large portion. The sauce is slightly creamy and tastes decent. It’s like a Korean-style pork cutlet.
Spicy Tonkatsu Sauce OTS $18.88 – Good. The cutlet itself is very tender. The sauce tastes more like tteokbokki (spicy rice cake) sauce than katsu sauce, so it doesn’t pair well. It comes with wasabi and salt, which actually taste better with it. The accompanying radish soup was too salty.
Kitsune udon $13.88 – Good. The noodles are chewy and nice.

Huge portion of katsu

This katsu place is the newest addition to the plaza and I’m glad to have tried them out. The menu is very simple - katsu options and noodle options! We got the 88 katsu and my friend got the large katsu. Both had strong flavor and good texture. Will want to be back soon! Ps. This place is named after 1988 when it was the year of Olympics for South Korea!

Large katsu but the sauce is not my type. Too buttery and sweet.
