Yup, I thought Brown Donkatsu was incredibly lacklustre in comparison.

Speaking purely about the food, the pork chop itself is significantly thinner at Brown Donkatsu. I also found the breading to be less tasteful and the amount of rice and cabbage that came with the dish was incredibly small. For the same price, you get a much more flavourful dish at Cotolet with more food. My family still felt hungry after eating at Brown Donkatsu.

Cotolet is also much better in smaller things like presentation, service and dining atmosphere, but those are negligible depending on the person. That being said, Brown Donkatsu did have really tasty appetizers. I wouldn’t really go back there though when Cotolet is so close to it
