" This is a surprisingly good find in the food court. The tenderloin cutlet is cooked to perfection – crispy on the outside, tender on the inside. I was delighted to see the authentic panko breadcrumbs used. However, it can be a hit or miss; sometimes the sauce is delectable, and sometimes it’s a bit underwhelming. The atmosphere reflects the typical busy food court vibe, but the food alone makes it worthwhile. " (*Curated Review*)
" Okay, I was skeptical at first since it’s located in a food court, but my experience at Saboten was fantastic! The katsu was exceptional, crispy, and didn't feel greasy at all. I really loved the miso soup accompanying my meal, very cozy. I was greeted with friendly faces and the atmosphere felt warm despite the crowded space. For a quick fix, it was thoroughly enjoyable. The price was just right for the quality I received. " (*Curated Review*)
" This place is amazing! The tonkatsu curry was so flavorful, and the meat was tender. The batter was perfectly crispy, but I was left with a desire for more sauce. It's a little pricey, but worth every penny if you want good Japanese food. I don't recommend going during peak hours unless you can tolerate a busy food court atmosphere. " (*Curated Review*)
" Had a really great meal but I can't overlook the inconsistent service. The miso soup was fantastic, and the tonkatsu was crispy and flavorful. However, I've had issues with the staff being somewhat dismissive. Nevertheless, I can forgive that for the quality of the food. If you’re in the mood for a solid katsu meal, I'd still recommend checking it out. " (*Curated Review*)
" I love this place for its katsu! It’s always crispy and flavorsome. However, I tend to find that the line can get quite long during lunch. The miso soup is a nice addition. I have noticed that they vary in portion size – some days are generous while other days are not as much. But I’ll always find an excuse to return due to the delicious food! " (*Curated Review*)

" I relied on Saboten during my latest shopping trip for a quick and filling meal. The meat was well-cooked with the typical crunchy batter that I crave. I enjoyed the miso soup as it was comforting. Just be prepared for long lines, the lunch hours can get really busy. If you can cope with the noise of the food court, you'll be just fine! " (*Curated Review*)
" I feel conflicted about Saboten. On one hand, their katsu is fantastic; properly fried with a satisfying crunch. On the other hand, every visit, the service could definitely be optimized—it can feel chaotic during rush hours. As for authenticity, I’d say it’s fairly on point. I enjoy eating here, but there’s definitely room for improvement in organization. Give it a shot if you're in the area! " (*Curated Review*)
