Marukatsu Nara Honten

The CUTEST and FRIENDLIEST restaurant that I have ever been to. From the beginning to end, the staff were super accommodating and helpful even though we couldn’t speak Japanese. They used printed translation cards to communicate with us and it just felt so homey.

The food was absolutely delicious and filled me to the brim. The Katsu was crispy and light and the meat was super tender. The meals also come with a free miso soup, cabbage and rice refill. Absolutely a superb value.

The cherry on top was the fact that the waitress even walked us out to thank us for our patronage, something I have never seen before. We will always come eat here whenever we are in Nara!
