Ok, if you love tonkatsu (Japanese style battered pork chop over rice), then you should try to find this place. My friend's hubby is Japanese so that's how we know the place. It's on the stretch of JiaoZhou Rd between YuYuan Rd and Beijing Rd. It's got no Chinese or English sign and it's puny shop with less than 10 tables and full of Japanese business men (read: smoke). The menu is only in Japanese too, except one of the waitresses speak Chinese (and maybe English?). Anyways, just point to the first item on the first page of the menu, which is the tonkatsu. There's a question of whether you want leaner or fatter meat --- either one is delicious. If you can make out the other items in Japanese on the menu, I'm sure they're pretty yummy too (let me know what they are too).
See other cafes and restaurants nearby.
