A no-frills yet delicious spot to satisfy your Japanese food cravings. Japote is a family-run eatery located in a food court. If you are looking for good value-for-money don, curry, or katsu, definitely give this place a try.
We ordered the Unagi Toji-don & the Japanese Chicken Cutlet Curry Rice with a croquette, & both were delicious. Service was quick, efficient, & friendly-just like what you would expect in Japan. There is also a sauce station where you can add & customise your own sauces.
One thing to note is that it is cash-only, so do prepare some cash when you are planning to drop by.

The curry katsu is legit, & a great value. Full of flavor & with high-quality cutlet. Worth upgrading to the large sizes because the dishes do skew kind of small. Lines are always long, but they move quickly.

Extremely affordable & delicious simple Japanese lunch fare. Very friendly & happy staff slinging succulent staples. Clearly the all-star of the basement food court it is located in. As a large & hungry man, I always shell out the extra $1 or $2 for a "large" portion so that I never leave hungry. Make sure to add the complimentary sauces & tsukemono (pickles). I can't wait to return again & again to the smiling staff & tasty hot lunch. They offer a rewards card too, further increasing the already great value that this establishment offers.

Great value 👍 Got the curry katsudon & a drink for 10$. Cute spot to grab a quick & tasty lunch. Fast service despite the lineup, please remember to bring cash~

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.
