It was a Sunday evening and 2 families were hungry wanted to find a walk in. We gave Saboten a try as we have 2 10 year olds whom love Japanese cuisine. All tables were full but we were told that the wait should not be long. Within 15 mins, a table left and we got our table.
Our table of 4 adults + 2 childern ordered a Premium Pork Loin Set, Pork Loin and Egg in Clay Pot Set , Mixed Seafood + Pork tenderloin Set, crab croquettea and 2 salads to share.
Each set comes with shredded cabbage, rice and miso soup. Where the rice and miso is refillable! There are a few kinds of dressing for you to choose to go with either the cabbage or your Tonkatsu. I think one is a mild sesame dressing, one is a grapefruit vinegar dressing. Those whom have been to Saboten will also know that they will let you grind your own sesame and make a DYI sause for your Tonkatsu. A lot of fun for the kids for sure.
Our sets came simultaneously one after another. All mains were served freshly prepared and hot. One after another we demolished each dish and soon have our bellies full of mains and could not fit in any extra miso soup even we had originally wanted more.
Saboten has pretty high ceilings and their seating arrangement is spacious and comfortable. Good for family and friends get together for a meal. Service is adequate and efficient. Pricing is also reasonable. We are very pleased with Saboten.
