Review Summary

Japote reads as an affordable, fast and tasty option in a busy food court, with many reviews praising quick service, friendly staff and solid value for money, noting that dishes like curry katsu and croquettes are flavorful and the portions reasonable, though cash only and lunch rush lines are common; several dishes and a sauce station add authenticity and customization, making it a reliable no-frills Japanese fast food spot that locals and students keep going back to for lunch and budget-friendly meals.

They deserve all the fame. The cheapest & most authentic Japanese meal you can get. It's open for a few hours so everyone rushes to get some, but it's truly worth it.

Delicious, quick, & cheap. The holy triefca that makes it popular with students & professionals in the area. It's located in the bottom of an office building but there is signage. When in doubt just follow the people

Wow wow wow! Friendly staff, quick service & delicious food for cheap! This place is a beautiful hidden gem. I recommend the oyakodon, & don't forget to bring cash. Also, I recommend that you come early to avoid the line of hungry students :)

I've been wanting to try Japote for a while after a friend recommended it but due to its opening hours it was really tough. I went at 11:30 & it was really busy. The food is really good & so are the prices. I got 2 plates because I knew it would be tough to come again so I took the opportunity to try multiple things. It's much cheaper when you order only one plate. They only accept cash. Even though the line was long, it moved quickly, the food & service were very good!

Bit overrated. Very average japanese food in my opinion. It may appear that their plates are cheap. But the portion is subpar too.

Great food for really cheap! I had the teriyaki chicken (number 3). The line can be long but it's really fast once you've ordered, & the workers are very friendly! They only accept cash
