    Food was good, however, the highlight was the customer service. I have allergies to nuts and seafood, and the staff (especially Edwin (I forgot the name sorry!) & the manager working at 5:15PM, 17/05/25) ensured i still had a good experience, going out of their way each time to double check any traces - this is quite rare in higher end restaurants from experience, as waiters/waitresses tend to selectively choose who to pay delicate attention to.

    I feel the quality of Ichikatsu have dropped. My friend and I went for the Roast Katsu Pork set, and we could see a clear difference in sizes between our pork katsu. The breading is kinda lacking, and the pork was not as juicy as I remembered. We also ordered the truffle fries, but the fries were kinda soggy and the oil tasted a bit off. There wasn't much truffle taste to it. You could say it was like eating a stick of oil. Overall the meal was lacking. But I'm grateful for the 15% discount on weekdays.

    My husband and I had a wonderful experience at Wagyu Ya Teppenyaki. The staff answered all our questions and gave us great suggestions for drinks to match the course that we chose. All food was fresh and our chef prepared all our meals to perfection. All the staff were very knowledgeable regarding the food and courses that were brought to us, including the curing processes and how the food is kept before the meal. It was our first experience with teppenyaki, it was amazing and we will be suggesting Wagyu Ya to our friends and family. We will definitely be back!
