"As expected, it doesnt disappoint. Since there are a lot of people, the waiting time to be seated and to be served was a little long. Nevertheless, food are served hot. Staff are polite and additional portions were served as requested."

"we visited the 1st week of December last year, I would say the service is actually good, it was on a weekend, lines were piling but the treatment we got was still exceptionally better! I don't think it's first time friendly tho, was lucky I had a friend who knew what to do haha"

"Food is great— it’s our favorite go-to place for katsu. The servings are also generous and worth the price. 4 stars because of the atmosphere. It gets a little loud and difficult to have a conversation."

"In my recent dining experience, I ordered the menchi katsu curry, which was exceptionally delicious. However, as evident from the accompanying photograph, the portion size is BIG. Given my personal dietary habits, which involve consuming a significant quantity of snacks but relatively little of meals, I recommend sharing this dish with someone. What I appreciate about this restaurant is the availability of an option to choose between white rice and brown rice. This is not a common feature in restaurants, and I am delighted about it. White rice has a higher glycemic index than brown rice, which is significant for me as a Type 1 diabetic."

"First time eating in Yabu and food was good! Especially the unlimited cabbage. Thank you also to Aira for helping me with the menu and recommendation. She was really attentive. Will surely be back to try other food."

"I enjoyed my dine with this place, and their chicken never disappoints me. The 180-gram portion is generous, and the service is excellent. They refill the cabbages regularly and always ask if I need anything. The quality and taste of the cabbage, paired with their katsu sauce and sesame mayo, are simply divine. I’ll definitely be coming back soon!"

"Food is still great but the service is so so. Requested for utensils/glass of water, took them awhile to provide. Probably because there's a lot of customers even though its past lunch time. Place is also a bit small compared with the Aura branch"

"Came here for desert. The place was packed as usual. Tried to dine here last night however, the place was busy. Service was alright. The desert was better than I expected in terms of quality."
