Was in town here and decided to try this place. It had a lot of high reviews both on Yelp and Google so I came in with high expectations. Had the lunch Special A Combo for $17 and that was already a good deal. It came with the house salad, assorted tempura, pork cutlet, rice and 3 different sauces. The breading on both the tempura and cutlets were crispy, flakey and crunchy all at the same time the way cutlet and tempura are supposed to be. The pork was tender and juicy and cut pretty thick. Salad was fresh and the dressing was refreshing with a ginger lemony flavour. Went on a Tuesday at lunch and they were pretty busy but the two lovely servers were always smiling and very attentive. I would go as far to say this place is as good as Saku and Katsuya in terms of quality for the pork cutlets. Can't compare anything else. But definitely worth going back to and trying other items!

The food here is absolutely delicious. The service is friendly and fast and the cutlets were unreal. Definitely would recommend checking this place out.

I have so much respect for restaurants that make all their own sauces from scratch. This place is it! And the portions are huge, food is delicous, and the service is wonderful.

Great little restaurant with proper covid-19 protocols - staff wore mask, gloves, and had sanitizers upon entrance. The seats/tables were quite far apart and it looked very clean. There were only 2 other customers when we got there but it was understandable; it was either that we were having lunch around 2pm or not many people are eating out just yet. Everything was excellent - the service, food and ambience. It reminded us of a place in Portland, OR that had a similar setup. We ordered two sets of katsu combo (special A & B) - one chicken and the other pork. These were on their lunch specials and it was around $13; if my memory serves me right. The portions were huge - protein + rice + miso soup + assorted tempura (2x large prawns, sweet potatoes & zucchini or cucumber) + green salad. The rice portion was small, which is perfect because the serving of the meal is very generous. The tempura wasn't even oily and I really enjoyed it. Thank you for an amazing treat and I hope your business will flourish.

We were surprised to find a cutlet/katsu place existed in downtown Kamloops. Jacob's Noodle & Cutlet does a mix of Japanese and Korean eats. We dropped in on an early Monday for lunch (11:00am). We were the only ones there till a few more parties began to trickle in around noon. Service is friendly and attentive. Menu is split into appetizers, soup & salad, tempura, donburi, udon, yakiudon & yakisoba, teriyaki, ramyun, cutlet/katsu, combos, Korean food (bulgogi, bibimbap and sundubu) and lunch/dinner specials. So many options but really, you should focus on the cutlet/katsu. You get to grind your own sesame seeds at the table. Our dishes also came with two katsu sauces and a tempura dipping sauce. - Pork cutlet combo ($14.95) - deep fried pork cutlet, veggie udon and cheese don roll. It also came with a side salad topped with a potato coleslaw. Pork cutlet was excellently breaded but a touch overcooked. That unfortunately resulted in a dry bite which even the sauces couldn't save. Veggie udon broth was clean but bland. Never seen bean sprouts in an udon before. There were three pieces of cheese roll; surprisingly good. Melted cheese, avocado and meat. - Lunch special B ($13.50) - Deep fried chicken cutlet, rice, miso soup, salad and tempura. Chicken cutlet was again excellently breaded but this time the meat was juicy. Get this over the pork cutlet. Nice touch with fresh green onions in the miso soup. The five pieces of tempura consisted of two shrimp, two yam and a zucchini. Lightly battered and not too oily. Decent find for katsu/cutlets at JNC. 3.5 stars.

Sushi was pretty good! Would like to see a bigger sushi menu. Sunomono flavor was good but noodles were hard.

Back in Kamloops and stopped by around 4 on a weekday. This time around I opted for the cutlet and roll combo. At $12.95, it is good value and I liked the presentation. The pork cutlet was perfectly cooked. Unfortunately there were multiple pieces of the shell of the prawn in the dynamite roll which was not pleasant to chew. I pointed this out to the server and the cook and they did nothing. It was not a positive food experience and if I return to Kamloops, I will not be back to eat here.

Went to this restaurant after hearing a lot of wonderful reviews about it Must admit this was a major disappointment To start with our table was the smallest in the restaurant It was full inspite it being a weekday Ordered a pork cutlet combo which was really average Besides this orderd spicy seafood Ramanyun which I didn't realize was Ramen noodles So steep and so expensive for a ramen This was an overpriced disappointment The food was average to below average though a great service

Was looking forward to visit this place , one it is highly rated on yelp and second people recommended it ! Landed up @ 630 pm for dinner , place was jam packed but may be due to less tables, 6/7 tables in total . After 2 minutes was given a small table for 2 . Menus were presented and the server was nice to explain the specials . I was also watching what most tables were served , so after scrutinizing the menu n server suggestion I zeroed on Pork cutlet combo which is served with a noodles soup , a big crispy pork cutlet , salad and cheese don roll with 2 house dipping sauces . The cutlet tasted excellent so did the vegie odon noodle soup. The only irritant in the good was stainless steel chop sticks , slippery in fingers and had difficulty grabbing stuff , I am used to the wooden one and I believe they are more hygienic .Steel Chop sticks is a NO NO. With a lively feast I still lacked the feeling of Soul Food so would rate it 4 until I try again n elabora

This restaurant is a hidden gem in kamloops. The place is clean and cozy. The staff are friendly and attentive. I ordered the chicken cutlet and seaweed salad. I did not expect to have 2 pcs of cutlets with my order. With other restaurants you only get one. They have 2 different sauces for you to dip the crunchy, tasty, and perfectly fried chicken cutlet. I would totally recommend thus retaurant if you ahppen to pass by kamloops.

in kamloops on a biz trip my colleagues highly recommended this place for a good japanese ramen and korean food... since we got here mid afternoon from vancouver, i was so hungry that i said : "lets go" walked in and immediately i had the sense it was going to be good. the place advertised their specialty for cutlets, ramen, and korean rice dishes. so naturally, i orderd the lunch cutlet special. came with a pork chop cutlet. perfectly breaded and in symetrical shape, juicy in the middle and not dry. had rice, salad, and 2 pcs tempura and 3 pcs veg tempura. presentation was amazing! dish started out with you being given 3 diff cutlet sauces. soy, sweet and tangy, and something sharp and gingery. then you were given something that resembles a mortar and pestel with sesame seeds. so you had to grind your own seeds and then sprinkle it on the sauces. very nice touch in my opinion. everything came hot and fresh and service with a smile. the place had a broad range of clientele , which included japanese and korean students. to me this is a good sign!! my other buddies ordered seafood ramen and their bowl was brimming with mussels, shrimp, tofu, and had 2 tempura shrimp for topping. my only comment was the noodles usd for the ramen was not ramen noodles but egg instant noodles. but i could smell the the broth and it smelled really rich . anyhow, when in kamloops, i suggest to give this place a go. there is something good in here for everyone! cheers! happy eating!
