" I'm really torn about my experience here. The food is excellent, especially the tonkatsu, but the service could have been better. I felt overlooked at times. Overall I'd still recommend it for the delicious food! " (*Curated Review*)

" Overall, a great place for katsu. I had the pork katsu with rice and salad on the side, it's substantial without feeling heavy. The service was fast, but the wait can be long if you come at a busy time! " (*Curated Review*)

" Just had the best meal at Hako. Everything was delicious! The cheese katsu was a standout, perfectly crispy with just the right amount of cheese. However, the wait time was long, so plan to arrive early or prepare for some patience. " (*Curated Review*)

" I usually love tonkatsu, but my experience here was average at best. The katsu lacked flavor, and while the sides were decent, they didn’t impress. I doubt I’ll return with so many better options around. " (*Curated Review*)

" While I enjoyed the food at Hako, I felt the service could use some refinement. The staff was friendly, but my order took longer than expected. Nonetheless, the cheese katsu I had was divine! I would recommend this place but maybe visit during off-peak times. " (*Curated Review*)

" A wonderful tonkatsu experience! I loved how they served the sesame seeds for grinding; it added an authentic touch. The food is delicious, though it can be busy during lunch hours. Worth the visit! " (*Curated Review*)

" Great little spot! I loved the curry katsu I ordered, although I did think it could be a bit spicier. The interior was quite cozy, but it got very busy, so expect a wait during rush hours. " (*Curated Review*)
