" Had a lovely dinner here with friends and we all enjoyed our meals. The portions were generous, and I particularly liked the curry which was rich and flavorful. The service was friendly and quick, but our server didn’t check on us as often as I would have liked. Despite a small wait to get seated and some noise from other diners, the overall atmosphere was enjoyable. I would definitely recommend Saku to anyone looking for a solid katsu experience! " (*Curated Review*)

" Dining at Saku Richmond is an experience you must undertake if you're a katsu lover. The quality of the food matches that of the very best places in Japan. Every dish we tried was flavorful and perfectly cooked. I particularly loved the Tomahawk katsu, which was juicy and crispy at the same time. The atmosphere of the restaurant is very inviting, and the staff genuinely care for their guests. Don't miss the unlimited rice and cabbage; we took full advantage of that! I'll definitely come back to this gem! " (*Curated Review*)

" Saku Richmond delivers every time! I have come here several times because I continuously crave their katsu. It's juicy, flavorful, and beautifully presented. The ambiance is lovely, with a calm Japanese-inspired interior that makes the meal even better. I recommend trying the Kurobuta special as it's my personal favorite. And yes, don't forget the endless refills of salad and miso soup! It's a great value for the quality of food they provide. Five stars! " (*Curated Review*)

" What an experience! I have been craving authentic katsu for weeks, and Saku Richmond did not disappoint. The Katsu-don set was delightful, with perfectly fried pork cutlets. I was particularly impressed by the sesame salad dressing—it was the cherry on top of an already delectable meal. The only downside was the wait time; we had to stand for a bit before being seated. Nevertheless, the food was worth it, and I will definitely be returning soon for more! " (*Curated Review*)

" My experience at Saku was mixed. While the katsu was decent, I expected it to be more flavorful given all the hype. The atmosphere was quite welcoming, however. I hope my next visit will be better! I'll be rating this experience a 3. " (*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*)
