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.

Amazing food & kind staff. A hidden gem of affordable quality dishes.
It's a shame the opening hours are so limited because I can hardly ever go

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 :)

Amazing prices & extremely fresh, homemade food. Reminded me of a lot of lunch spots from around Osaka & Tokyo. Staff are also super friendly & attentive - absolute gem of a lunch spot!

find the escalators & head down twice, following the signs will bring you to this downtown gem!!! they only take CASH so please come prepared as their opening window is quite small! the pricing is not something you see often, it's affordable, realistic & absolutely a bang for your buck! I'll definitely be coming back!!

A favorite place for me to get wonderful & authentic Japanese food for years now. Filling dishes from friendly staff that really make me feel like I'm in a food court in Tokyo. I particularly like the kakiage & korokke! Inexpensive & with a good value point card, too. It is in a food court under a bank, so it doesn't have the most ambience, but it's still a hidden gem for those in the know in the area.
