The place was empty when we ate there, so there is no excuses for the quality of food. Katsu Curry, the sauce was nice. The chicken wasn't fresh it was very chewy and rubbery and the rice was a ball of plastic, and the side cucumber was so dry. And when leaving they showed us the food on the screen, when home i seen they added a 10% service charge/tip without asking. Now that is fly! I wont be back! Customer lost!
