Hikari Don Katsu

Hikari Don Katsu is a Japanese eatery that's located inside Lotte, a part of their food court.Their menu offers various noodle dishes (tempura udon, udon with fishcakes, and yakisoba), bowls (tempura don bowl, tuna don bowl, salmon poke bowl, etc.), and katsu sets (pork katsu, fish katsu, chicken katsu, pork katsu with curry, chicken katsu with cheese, etc.).We came here for a later lunch, and we ordered:+the Chicken Katsu with Curry - we requested the curry to be on the side so that the katsu can stay crispy; the curry itself was more Korean-style, as it was thinner in consistency; it was generously filled with lots of veggies, though, which was great; the katsu itself was pounded thin and had a thin breading; I usually like it when the batter is super thick and crispy; the chicken itself was a bit too dry; this came with a small bowl of miso soup, which was served hot and yummy, a side salad with a citrus-like dressing, some dakgwang (pickled radish), and a small bowl of their tonkatsu sauce (mayo-based)I'd probably want to try their dons next time, or their fish katsu.Service was super kind, friendly, and welcoming!Plenty of parking in the shared plaza lot.+friendly service!+located inside Lotte; part of their food court+plenty of parking

The curry donkatsu was solid but the real gem is the beef bowl. The marinade and seasoning was excellent and the beef was not overcooked. It had some burdock in it which really elevated the taste. The owner is also super duper nice. The service and taste are both

First, the service was great! Also, the quality of the food was great!Curry Donkatsu ($12):Curry - bit light.Salad dressing tastes orangey.Don Katusu tastes crispy.Poke Bowl ($15):Salmon - very fresh! 1 to 1 ratio with rice. Vegetables (onion, avocado, cucumber) and fish eggs are fresh.Tempera vegetables - crispy, not oily, and freshly made.Miso soup - delicious
