Cafe Okawari

I came across Cafe Okawari on social media and those fruit sanos caught my attention. Overall it was a great experience! I ordered the Chicken Katsu Plate, a Green Tea Latte, and a Fruit Sando for dessert. Everything was warm and quick! And the staff was helpful and friendly. Chicken Katsu was a little bit on the crunchier side than I would've preferred, but it was still good.

My husband and I came here to try the beautiful sandos we saw on TikTok! Not only were they just as gorgeous as well imagines, but they tasted amazing. The chicken katsu sando blew every other katsu I've had out of the water.

Looked quickly at the menu and decided on a beef gyu-Don. Came out within a few minutes… at the same time I got my hojicha latte. The beef itself had some flavor but I felt like the overall fish was a little dry, even a little jus from the beef would have helped. The hojicha latte had some tea flavor but mostly tasted like milk, I’d expect a stronger tea flavor. Lastly, minor detail but I was charged $3 for an egg though it’s supposed to cost $2.50

Cafe Okawari was sneakily suggested to me for lunch by Google Maps, and I liked it!

Historically, chicken katsu here were made with halal chicken but due to supply chain issues, this wasn't so when I visited. Nonetheless, I ordered the chicken katsu don and the fried chicken was crispy on the outside and juicy on the inside.

My preference would be to have more tonkatsu sauce and sesame sauce for the cabbage, but I was happy with my meal.

Food is very simple but tastes good. Giving 5 stars most importantly for the customer service. Would appreciate a little more creativity in the menu but that's just my personal preference, there is nothing wrong with the current menu.
