You're probably referring to Cafe Mami. They do make a good fried chicken cutlet (which is really a breaded boneless thigh) but it's more like katsu style than American fried chicken style. I highly recommend getting the "wafu style" plate which comes with salad and rice, and a pile of grated daikon for hot/cold contrast.

Nope - it's not Mami's, though they make some good stuff. This is the one between the sushi stand and the Lesley art gallery. And it's not a cutlet - it's lovely little chunks of battered thigh meat. Mmm....I may have to go there tonight.

Aah. Mami does that style too. If you get curry with fried chicken, it's that type (cornstarch-dusted, probably).

You were right...

....and I was wrong!

It *is* Cafe Mami - I had confused them with the Cafe Ittyo or whatever it is around the corner.

All this talk had put me in the mood, so to speak, so I stopped in tonight and had the Tatsuta Set - best darn $8.99 plate in the area if you ask me!
