" I had high hopes for Saku given its reputation, but sadly my visit was less than stellar. The chicken katsu was decent but lacked the juiciness I hoped for; it felt a bit dry. The service was friendly enough, but we waited a long time for our food without updates. Overall, while I see the appeal, I think I’d prefer to try another location next time or give it another shot with a different dish. Rating it a 3 for now. " (*Curated Review*)

" As a katsu enthusiast, Saku Richmond really ticked all the boxes for me! Authentic flavors, generous portions, and a cozy atmosphere. The only downside was that it was quite busy, but that’s a testament to how good it is. I’d recommend going during off-peak times if you can. Otherwise, you might have a long wait! " (*Curated Review*)

" I was really looking forward to my visit to Saku, but my experience was not as I anticipated. The katsu was good, but the pork felt slightly overcooked. The atmosphere was nice and clean, though it was quite busy. I had to wait longer than expected for my order, which was disappointing for such a highly rated establishment. I believe they can do better. Rating it a 3. " (*Curated Review*)

" My visit to Saku was a delightful journey into katsu heaven! The food was exquisite; the fried chicken cutlet melted in my mouth. The rice and salad were fresh, and I really appreciated the free refills. My only complaint was that the service could have been a bit faster. Still, the experience was lovely, and I can't wait to come back again soon! " (*Curated Review*)

" My visit to Saku was very enjoyable! I loved the chicken katsu. It had a lovely crispy coating that paired perfectly with the dipping sauce. The service was friendly, but I wish they had more staff on hand as we had to wait a bit longer for our food than expected. Nonetheless, it was a great experience overall! " (*Curated Review*)

" Wow, my first experience at Saku Richmond was fantastic! The tonkatsu tasted like something I would eat at a Japanese izakaya: crunchy on the outside and juicy on the inside. The ambiance was serene and decorated nicely, making it cozy to enjoy the meal. I also liked the variety of dipping sauces available. I will absolutely return and highly recommend it to friends! " (*Curated Review*)

" Never have I had katsu that tastes so much like what I've had in Japan! Each bite brought me closer to my favorite katsu from my travels. The service was super friendly and they made sure my cup was never empty! I'll definitely be back to try the other dishes on the menu, look out for my return! " (*Curated Review*)
