This restaurant specializes in katsu, cutlets of meat breaded and fried to a delightful, golden crisp. Each katsu entree ordered for takeout is served in a bento box with rice, soup, and salad ($14 to $17). Try the signature Hako tonkatsu (pork loin cutlet) or the Alaskan cod katsu. Add a side of curry for $3.
