I love Rice Workshop. It's such great value and it's consistently good. When I first discovered it, I went there three times that week (twice for lunch, once for dinner).
My absolute favourite dish is the pork katsu don - a juicy piece of pork, with a perfectly crispy and thin batter. There's no gristle and has just enough of fat to make it moreish. Served in a bowl of short grain rice, drizzled with kewpie mayo and teriyaki sauce. I love the extra bits of sliced spring onions and toasted seaweed. It's finished offer with fresh salad and pickled veg. The the above size is a small and is less than ten bucks. It's the perfect size for me for lunch.
For a few dollars more, the Lawyer tried the unagi (grilled eel). It's a shame that many Japanese restaurants either don't have it on the menu or they have a really, really crappy version of this. This was an okay version. A good amount of eel for the price.
I've also tried the pork curry katsu. It's nice but since I'm not a fan of Japanese curry sauces, this was never going to 'wow' me.
I've also tried the chicken katsu don. This was also nice, but I much prefer the pork version.
Verdict: we loved it
Overall
I really love this place. Quick, tasty and relatively healthy (as far as food court options goes).
I walked past the other day! Will have to stop next time.
