replying to u/drzoidburger: I guess mid-range is anything less than $85-ish per person? Sorry, should've been clearer in my post. I'll edit that now! Does Katsuhama have a good curry katsu? My husband is a big fan of that!
“In my view it’s fantastic - super crispy pork and very warming curry - plays more savory than sweet which is absolutely more my preference”

“The gozen is a set meal with some extra things (a simple cabbage salad, rice, sometimes a soup). It’s nothing extravagant but simple and very well done.”
