Sep 2018:Walked down Redfern on a sunny and chilly day, found this minimalistic place along my way. – interior: instagram friendly aesthetics. Seating can be a bit dense though.- food: very nice, I wouldnt say amazing though. You get what you pay for.- its all about the chill and relaxing experience.
Just like the name, the menu is simple. Bowls-main courses, the famous ones are Wagyu and Tonkatsu. My hubby and I both chose Tonkatsu. For me it is because I watched The Solitary Gourmet, which is a very famous food drama in Japan. When I was watching it, I just couldnt wait having the Tonkatsu. After studied some of the restaurants in Sydney, I chose to come here.The rice is very special here, I strongly recommend the Koshihikari rice, which is the most classic and historic rice in Japan, you should try it. And for Tonkatsu, this rice is a perfect match, instead of grain rice, from my point of view.When it comes to the pork tonkatsu, since it is slow-cooked, you will find it juicy, not dry, and definitely crispy outside. However, I am quite disappointed with the sauce. Maybe it is because of the Japanese drama. Here in Juan, the pork served with apple mustard mayo (to tell the truth, I couldnt tell the apple flavour), Miso sesami sauce; however, in Japan, there is a special sauce for pork tonkatsu , spicy miso, also a slice of lemon will be served with salt and wasabi of course. I am sorry to be a little bit picky, I just feel it will be better if there are more sauce options. But generally I am quite happy with my food.It is very special here, since every bowl has its matching tea and wine or beer. I ordered my matching tea-organic lemon myrtle, not bad. Next time I would like to try the mango green or lychee red. We also tried the famous mocha tiramisu, the mocha is quite strong, I like it, not very sweet, we both enjoyed it.There is one thing I dont like about Juan, too crowded. Even reserved first, you have to wait till the time slot(even there are empty tables there, and we were only 15 minutes earlier). When it is our time, we have to share a long table with other people, it almost 3:00, still many people coming, and they even want us 5 people to sit on one side, I have to leave my bag on the floor. I am quite disappointed about the experience. Generally speaking, food is good. We will come back again, but we definitely want a separate table next time.
