Saku (robson) - Vancouver

맛 분위기 서비스First of all, among all the restaurants I've been to, this one can proudly claim to be the most courteous. Furthermore, I can confidently say it was the tastiest tonkatsu I've ever had. The reason is that I've tried over a hundred tonkatsu places, both famous ones in Korea and Japan, but while 90% had similar flavors, none of them were 100% friendly. That's because the best places are usually too busy to be friendly. However, here, every staff member was exceptionally friendly. Even though I used basic Japanese instead of English, they treated me with utmost kindness. Among them, a staff member with slightly dyed white hair was fluent in Korean and provided excellent service. As a result, I'm leaving this comment now. Even when I asked for extra vegetables or miso soup, they gladly provided them without any sign of inconvenience. Every staff member was genuinely, truly friendly and provided top-notch service, which is why I plan to visit frequently. If you're planning a trip to Japan, I highly recommend going here. It's a definite pass for Vancouver's best restaurant!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I ordered the shrimp and scallop curry set and it was delicious! The shrimp and scallops were both big and the entire meal was delightful. I have visited this restaurant several times and the service is consistently attentive and friendly. The ambiance is also lovely, not too noisy.

The katsu at this restaurant is absolutely amazing and lives up to all the hype. The crust is wonderfully flaky and fresh, not greasy at all, and the meat inside is juicy and tender. The house-made sesame sauce is delicious and the unlimited cabbage salad is a perfect way to enjoy it. The ambience is beautiful, almost like fine dining. Overall, I had a fantastic experience and thoroughly enjoyed my meal.

Saku far exceeded my expectations. I have tried many katsu dishes before, but the cheese katsu I had at Saku is one of the best I've ever tasted. I was pleasantly surprised to find out that the cabbage, miso soup, and rice are refillable, so my friend and I ordered one meal set and extra katsu on the side. The restaurant has a wonderful atmosphere, with aesthetically pleasing decor and accommodating employees. I will definitely be returning to Saku the next time I am in Vancouver. Thank you for the incredible meal and excellent service.

Saku exceeded all my expectations and more. It was so good!!!I had a lot of tonkatsu at popular places while working in Japan so I know what to compare to.I can say that Saku certainly deserves its fame!It's a delight to experience Japanese level of friendly service again.I will come back with an even bigger appetite!
