Katsu Yoshoku

勝利洋食 · show this name to taxi drivers

A tiny retro diner serving yoshoku, the Western-style dishes popular in Japan, in a lane off Dunhua South Road. The draw is chicken meat-sauce curry rice with a topping of your choice, plus katsu sandwiches. There is a counter and only a few tables, and it is often run by the owner alone, so food can take a while at busy times.
