bulgogi and tempura / chicken katsu

Another lunch in the PATH, this time to Ho Ga in the Standard Life building...not to be confused with the similar sounding Ho-Shim in First Canadian Place. Their menu of takeout japanese and korean food also practically identical to Ho-Shim's but with some key differences...actually just one, Ho Ga has chicken katsu! (and fish)

I wanted to do a comparison with Ho-Shim so I got the bulgogi and tempura ($5.97 + tax). Portions were smaller than Ho-Shim's but the coleslaw and noodles were slightly better. The bulgogi didn't have alot of flavour but at least they gave me more than two pieces lol. The tempura however was much better, the shrimp was decent enough for food court standards and the potato tempura was actually cooked all the way through. My friend justin got the chicken katsu ($5.53 + tax) which came with the same rice, noodles, coleslaw and also two fried dumplings. The dumplings were just ok and so was the chicken. It's certainly no FMP food court katsu though...

In my opinion better than Ho Shim but still nothing special.
