📍【Salt Lake City | East West Connection】Food Review

A hidden gem in the neighborhood run by a Japanese owner 🇯🇵🍛 ✨ ChatGPT Food Diary｜Super comforting Japanese comfort food—you’ll love it at first bite! Who would’ve thought that in Salt Lake City’s Holladay area, there’s a long-standing Japanese eatery? East West Connection is run by a Japanese owner, offering authentic flavors focused on that "warm, homely" style of Japanese cooking. It’s not trendy or flashy—just the real deal, like a Japanese expat seriously serving up heartwarming meals abroad 🍱 Went here with friends and ordered half the menu👇 🍱 Katsu Don (Pork Cutlet Rice Bowl) Rice lovers, rejoice!! Tender eggs wrapped around crispy pork cutlet, simmered in a rich sauce—every bite is super comforting! It tastes just like a familiar meal from a small Japanese diner. 🍛 Katsu Curry Ramen (Japanese Curry Pork Cutlet Ramen) Innovative and delicious! The rich curry broth paired with ramen works surprisingly well. The pork cutlet stays slightly crispy even in the soup—so satisfying! 🥢 Beef Sukiyaki The sukiyaki was a pleasant surprise! Thinly sliced beef that’s tender, balanced sweet-savory broth, and generous portions of veggies (tofu, cabbage, glass noodles included). Perfect for one person. 🍛 Katsu Curry Meal (Japanese Curry Pork Cutlet Set) A cleaner way to enjoy than the rice bowl: pork cutlet and curry served separately—crispy outside, tender inside. The curry is mildly sweet, typical Japanese style, great for those who avoid spice. 📌【Visit Info】 🍽️ Name: East West Connection 📍 Address: 2305 E 3300 S, Salt Lake City, UT 🕐 Hours: Open for lunch & dinner (check Google Maps) 💰 Avg.
