Review Summary

Japote is a no-frills, quick-service spot in a food court that consistently delivers affordable, flavorful Japanese meals. The menu features curry katsu, chicken cutlet curry with a croquette, Unagi Toji don, and tori don, with a sauce station to customize and extra sides like pickled ginger and croquettes that locals praise for authenticity. Portions range from medium to large and are considered a great value for lunch, with many noting the high quality cutlets and savory umami flavors. Service is friendly and efficient, and although cash is the only accepted method at the counter, an ATM nearby helps. The place is popular for quick, reliable lunches and is often described as a hidden gem in the area, drawing students and professionals alike for tasty, budget-friendly meals that feel authentically Japanese.

The food is simply amazing. I love everything I have tried from Japote. I really love how their prices are student friendly, as you can eat lunch for 10$ (they only serve at lunchtime, mon-fri) I recommend you order the large option of the dish (the price will remain below 10$) but feel full enough. Also, the staff is super friendly & kind! Fav dish: teriyaki chicken [CASH ONLY]

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
