Curious about the hype surrounding a popular BSD katsu spot? For under 100k IDR, this restaurant serves massive, perfectly crispy, and juicy chicken katsu in a modern setting with a lake view. Beyond the rave-worthy food, this article reveals essential tips on navigating the huge portions, limited payment options (cash is king!), and scoring a group discount. Find out if it's truly worth the trip and what pitfalls to avoid before you go.
Honestly, making a special trip to BSD, Tangerang just for a bite to eat... if I hadn't been lured out by the 4.8-star rating[1] from over 2,000 reviews on Google, I probably would've been too lazy to go. But it turns out, the trip was totally worth it! Especially in a super Chill place like The Breeze, finding a spot that's delicious and affordable is like hitting the jackpot. 😎
The restaurant has this comfy, modern Japanese vibe, super clean and tidy[2]. If you sit by the window, you can even see the lake at The Breeze. It's the perfect spot to Nongkrong with friends on the weekend.
Now for the main event! I ordered their signature Chicken Katsu[3] set, and I was shocked when it arrived—the portion was so generous[4]! The chicken cutlet was fried to a golden, crispy perfection. You get that 'crunch' sound when you bite into it, and the chicken inside is thick, tender, and juicy, not dry at all. Paired with their special sauce and cabbage salad, one bite is truly Mantap!
My friend who came with me ordered the Salmon Teriyaki Don[5]. If you're not a fan of fried food, this is a great option. The serving of salmon was pretty generous too. They even have Tofu Katsu—can you believe it, fried tofu? I heard it's surprisingly delicious, so I'll have to try it next time.
Of course, it wasn't without its flaws. To be fair, the batter on their fried food was a little too thick for my taste[6], and it got a bit heavy towards the end. Also, during peak hours on weekends, the service can be a bit slow[7], so you'll need some patience. Most importantly! They don't accept e-wallets yet[8], so remember to bring cash or a bank card!
Tips to Avoid Pitfalls & Save Money 📝
- 1. For those with smaller appetites! The set meals are huge. I'd suggest two people share one set and then add some small bites; it should be enough[9].
- 2. Pooling your order is a great trick! You get a 10% discount for spending over 350,000 IDR[10], which is easy to hit if you're eating with friends.
- 3. Payment methods! They only accept cash, debit, and credit cards. Don't be silly and just bring your phone.
- 4. Restrooms are in the mall! The restaurant doesn't have its own toilet[11], so you'll need to use the mall's public facilities.
- A 4.8-star[1] Google gem (2k+ reviews) at The Breeze. This Chill lakeside spot has perfect weekend Nongkrong vibes.
- The Chicken Katsu set is huge[2]! The golden cutlet is thick, juicy, with a satisfying crunch. The special sauce is pure bliss.
- Besides katsu, try the Salmon Teriyaki Don or surprising Tofu Katsu. So many great choices, good luck picking just one
