Saku

Delicious katsu, and even more delicious curry! Saku serves one of my favourite Japanese curries in town. Every main comes with unlimited miso soup, rice, and salad.

The miso soup is pretty good, but I always just get the one. If you're lucky, your refills will be filled with chunks of goodness. The salad is really good -- their sesame dressing is delicious! I often get two or more salad refills.

I got the Chicken Katsu Curry. I love that they separate the curry from the rice and katsu. I hate getting my rice and crispy katsu soggy, so this was perfect for me. I was able to pour curry in to my liking and keep the katsu crispy. The katsu was moist and tender on the inside and crispy on the outside. Perfect for a soft mouth. The seasoning was great as well. The curry had an amazing depth of flavour -- very rich and creamy. My partner said it punched her with flavour. It paired amazingly with the katsu and rice. Note that the curry is just sauce -- no extra chunks of anything -- but it's still amazing.

The restaurant itself is very bright and clean and service is always impeccable.

We just tried a rosu pork katsu to go because my kid was reallllly wanting Katsu. The inside was super cute, everyone's food looked delicious, they were super nice, just let us order one piece alacarte and 15 min later off we went. He ended up eating a few pieces (and a bite for me to sample obviously) on the side right away because hello, fried food is always better on the spot! The crispiness and tenderness was on point, but the end piece I tried was quite fatty and chewy so not a great first impression. The other bite I tried was way better. My kid definitely enjoyed it!

I'll need to go back so we can get the sit down experience with the unlimited cabbage, rice, soup, and yummy sauce!

The service was excellent. We were seated right away.

The food was delish with unlimited soup, salad and rice. Their katsu batter was amazing. I had the Ebi katsu.

excellent tonkatsu restaurant! The pork chop were fried to perfection, good service and nice and modern decor. The place is also well ventilated so you don't smell like fried pork chop after a meal.
The fatty one is really fatty, so be warn! Fat and oil will literally explode into your mouth once you take a bite.

I personally prefer the less fatty(premium) cut, in fact the fillet(tenderloin) cut was actually my favorite.

Coming from Portland, this was delicious with the perfect crisp. To me, this rivals Tonkatsu Tamafuji in Hawaii but with better value being CAN currency. All that being said, I had been fasting all day just for this meal and it did not disappoint. I ate about 3/4 of it and took it home and it was still good the next day after air frying. Would get the zenbu plate again.

I'm sure the regular katsu here is great, but I wasn't a huge fan of my katsu nabe.

I came with 3 other friends + 1 child for lunch on Sunday. We got here around 11:45 and joined the Yelp waitlist. Ended up getting seated around 25 minutes later, so the wait wasn't too bad. If I had known before coming that they use Yelp waitlist, I would've added myself to the queue before coming so it'd be a shorter wait. They were very accommodating for my friend's baby and had both a high chair and booster seat available.

They don't have physical menus, only a mobile menu accessed by scanning the QR code. I know they're known for their katsu, but I decided to get the katsu nabe (pork katsu cooked with egg and onion in a sweet dashi broth) as I personally find regular katsu a bit too dry. For the pork katsu, you can choose between rosu and hire cuts of the pork. I asked about the difference between the two, and our server said rosu is more juicy and hire is more tender. I got the hire for my katsu nabe for $29.

As with all of their katsu, the katsu nabe comes with unlimited rice, soup, and cabbage salad. I personally found the katsu bland with just the broth and asked for katsu sauce so it'd be a bit more flavorful. I also thought the hire cut a bit dry, so I kinda wish I had gotten the rosu cut as that was supposed to be more juicy.

I left a bit disappointed with my lunch, especially for the price. Not surprising since I generally don't prefer katsu when it comes to Japanese cuisine.

I ordered the pork katsu and overall thought it was a good meal. The portions are quite large so I could eat the katsu for lunch and dinner. One thing that I was a bit disappointed at was the side of curry I got. The flavor and consistency was lacking and I personally felt like I could make better curry from a box.

That being said, the katsu is flavorful and juicy!

I love Saku. The service is friendly as the servers check in. The space is breathable and feels spacious. I love the furnishings. It's bright and warm. This place has good Katsu. My fave is the cheese Katsu. It has a balanced flavour that's creamy, salty, crispy. The meals come with miso, Katsu, rice and cabbage. The best thing about Saku is their unlimited rice and cabbage. Really would recommend for the price (~$20-$30)

The food isnt bad; your typical standard katsu that can be found in any decent restaurant that sells pork katsu. However, the price seems a bit high compared to similar restaurants.

Unfortunately, my visit was ruined by the bad service i've experienced. Usually they would give you refills on salad and soup, but the server denied it completely when i asked because another person in our party didnt "spend enough on food". Which is a bit outrageous since he did order with us. There's no mention of this beforehand or anything written on the menu. Seems like an arbitrary decision on the wait staff, which left a very bad taste in my mouth.

Absolutely delicious meal! The sesame salad dressing sauce was one of the best I have ever had. Wonderful ambience and atmosphere. Staff are super nice and hospitable! Salad and rice are all you can eat! Such a great deal for such good quality food.
