" Whenever I think of delicious katsu, Brown Donkatsu comes to mind. The meal was incredibly satisfying, with the chicken katsu bursting with flavor and cooked perfectly. I was able to select my preferred level of spiciness, which made the experience that much better. Although we had to wait a bit for our food due to the high volume of orders, the staff were friendly and apologetic for the wait. Would recommend for katsu lovers! " (*Curated Review*)

The staff was incredibly friendly and attentive, making us feel welcome from the moment we walked in. The ambiance is cozy, and I loved the decor. I definitely plan to return soon!

" The chicken katsu I had at Brown Donkatsu was delightful! The coating was crisp, and the meat was juicy. The portions were extremely generous, and I found great value for the price. While the staff were attentive, the ambiance could be a little overwhelming when the place fills up. Still, I will be back for more katsu! " (*Curated Review*)

" Brown Donkatsu is an absolute gem in the city! The food hits the spot, especially when craving comfort food. I indulged in their cheese stick katsu and was blown away by the crispy texture. Portion sizes are quite generous as well, with great prices for what you get. The service was prompt, however, the atmosphere was a bit cramped during peak hours. Still, I highly recommend giving it a try! " (*Curated Review*)
