But...Hey Holly - i-Cafe isn't stellar, just ok. But service is attentive and fast, as are the food, and the prices are very reasonable. I also like their 2nd floor light and "view" out to Broadway, FWIW [grin]. <br /><br />I find the tonkatsu at Saboten okay, but given its high price (and small portion) I'm biased against them. It could be me, but I think they're over-hyped. <br /><br />Daeji - interesting place for sure. I've only been to the one on Dunsmuir. The katsu was good (better than Saboten) nice hot and crispy. The sides (macaroni salad, a lettuce slaw and corn niblets were meh, and the plain rice I had was a bit soggy and clumpy that day. I'm not sure I'd trek there just for the katsu. <br /><br />FWIW, I ate at Sushiyama (Broadway & Brunswick) three times in the past two weeks, two tonkatsus and once a chicken katsu. :-)<br />It's $8 at lunch or dinner, includes a nice fresh mixed greens salad and miso soupLotusRapperhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04996696895446779820noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1524766856706642380.post-67174860665532190222013-03-13T16:00:44.126-07:002013-03-13T16:00:44.126-07:00@ LR Thanks for the tips. Of the three you mentio...@ LR Thanks for the tips. Of the three you mentioned, I'm surprised by i-Cafe as I haven't heard good things about this restaurant.<br /><br />What do you think about the katsu's at the japanese katsu chain in Aberdeen or the korean restaurant called Daeji?<br /><br />I also think Moncton Cafe in Steveston would make a memorable one too.<br /><br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1524766856706642380.post-6995130520651917712013-03-12T10:25:48.038-07:002013-03-12T10:25:48.038-07:00I'm a total sucker for good katsu.

I normally stay ...Sherman, you made me a believer. I normally stay away from the big quantity/low quality places, but this place sounds decent. I do love good value and would be wiling to compromise. Also, calling something "King Cutlet" got my attention. <br /><br />Will check it out asap.<br /><br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
