" I heard so much about Kagura Gardena and couldn't wait to try it! I must say, it lives up to the hype! The fillet katsu was delightful, super tender and very flavorful. My meal was enjoyable all around, from the food to the friendly staff. Although it isn't the largest dining area, the food definitely steals the show. I left with a smile, eager to return for more of their amazing katsu. " (*Curated Review*)

" The pork katsu here is the real deal! I had the most delicious katsu curry and it was perfect. I love how they take their time to prepare your food authentically and serve it hot. The prices are reasonable too! My only complaint would be that seating is limited, which made it a bit tight. Regardless, I would say if you're in the area and in the mood for some delicious katsu, Kagura Gardena is a must-try! " (*Curated Review*)

" I'm not going to sugarcoat it; I was expecting more. The katsu was good, don't get me wrong, but I've had better at other places. The main draw is that they prepare everything fresh, which is great! But the service left something to be desired. The lady at the counter didn't seem too welcoming, to be honest. I’m a little conflicted; I enjoyed the katsu but feel the dining experience needs a little polish. " (*Curated Review*)

" Kagura is a solid choice for anyone craving authentic tonkatsu! I had the katsu dons and it was delightful. The meat was juicy and seasoned perfectly. I also appreciated that everything was made fresh and hot right when ordered. Be warned that it's a popular spot, so you might have to wait during lunchtime! But once you get your food, it’s worth it. The staff may not be super chatty, but efficiency is key here. I’m excited to try their curry on my next visit! " (*Curated Review*)

" As a fan of Japanese cuisine, I was thrilled to discover Kagura. The first time I visited, I ordered the pork katsu curry. The deep flavor of the curry paired so well with the tender pork. Most importantly, it didn’t feel heavy; there was a nice balance. The atmosphere can feel a bit rushed at times since it’s in a food court, but it’s cozy enough for a quick bite. I was really impressed with the prices too, very reasonable for the quality provided. Overall, a fantastic experience! " (*Curated Review*)

" Finding great katsu is always a mission, and I’m so glad I found Kagura! Everything was well-prepared, from the crispiness of the katsu to the freshness of the miso soup. I also enjoyed the generous portion of cabbage they serve on the side. The only downside is it can get pretty crowded and noisy since it’s a food court. But hey, I come for the food. I’ll be back for sure to sample more items from their menu. " (*Curated Review*)

" I can't praise this place enough! My experience at Kagura was fantastic! The chicken katsu was just the right level of crispy. I didn't have to wait long even though it was busy. The selection was straightforward, but that’s perfect for some solid katsu. It's worth it if you're going for the authentic taste! I will be making this a regular spot for sure. " (*Curated Review*)
