SABOTEN EXPRESS
THE AMAZING BRENTWOOD TABLES FOOD COURT
JAPANESE CUISINE TONKATSU
Saboten Express at The Amazing Brentwood is now open!
Saboten is a popular International Tonkatsu chain with over 500 shops. There are other Saboten locations in Richmond, BC. This place gets very busy, so be prepared to get there early or wait!
Tonkatsu is a Japanese dish consisting of breaded deep fried pork.
The menu at Saboten Express is pretty good. They have curry dishes, and you can order extra meats. There’s also shrimp, and chicken.
Ordered
Tenderloin & Loin Set $14.95
Tonkatsu deep fried pork. Nice light and crispy. The set comes with miso soup, rice, cabbage, pickled side dish and sauces. For a mall food court this is pretty good.
PRICE:
$$ FAIR PRICE. Expect to pay $15-$20.
QUALITY:
OK! OK portion size for $15 food court dish. Was the first order of the day and the meat was not piping hot and seemed to have been cooked prior to opening. The rice was not hot or steaming. Cuts of meat were good. Tasty sauces and miso soup.
SERVICE:
OK! Was hard to hear the server behind plastic divider. A bit of a wait to get the dish. Was told to wait 10 minutes. This location opened at 1PM very late for lunch even though Google says 11AM. Understaffed?
VERDICT:
Overall, SATISFIED. Nice to get Tonkatsu at a food court and Saboten Express does an OK job. Be prepared for long lines, and strange opening hours.
