JAPANESE CUISINE TONKATSU
SAKU is a popular local Japanese Tonkatsu restaurant with two locations in Vancouver. In this video GUTOM EATS at SAKU BROADWAY. This location has been open for a few years now.
Tonkatsu is pork cutlet in Japanese. Unlike Tempura which is made with batter, Tonkatsu is BREADED and deep-fried. At Saku there’s pork on the menu and so much more!
At the time of this video, Saku has a QR Code menu.
Pause the video or visit Gutom.ca for the full menu.
On the menu you will find Pork, Chicken, Seafood and veggies.

Sauces are all delicious. Tonkatsu sauce is so good.
PRICE:
$-$$ FAIR PRICE. It’s Affordable and the Add-Ons are fair priced. Unlimited RICE, SOUP, SALAD.
QUALITY:
GOOD! Nice breading, and sauces. Rosu Katsu, Chicken, Prawn, Scallop, and Cheese Katsu were delicious. The Pork Lion was OK but not as tasty. Curry was OK, lacked carrots and potatoes. Had better curry at Fujiya Japanese Market.
SERVICE:
OK! Seated fast at lunchtime on a RAINY day. Lineup times may vary. NO RESERVATIONS.
VERDICT:
Overall, SATISFIED. The combo set is a good way to try a little bit of everything and the Add On prices are reasonable. Unlimited Rice, Salad and Soup will leave you satisfied. CHEESE KATSU WINS ALL.
