Choosing a main meal

Ramen is a broth-based noodle meal; teppanyaki is a different noodle category; curry and donburi give rice-based choices. These categories appear in the reviewed November 2026 menu. The chicken katsu curry page, for example, describes breaded chicken with rice, curry sauce, salad and pickles.
