Deep Fried Chicken 唐あげ Salad サラダ - NAKAU なか卯

There was another set meal of fried chicken including miso soup and pickles, but I separately ordered the foods (pictured above) from a la cart menu.

To be honest.
The fried chicken was not my favorite as its taste and flavor were very bland. I put some dashi soy sauce but it was so-so.

I most likely will not order it again. However, some other foods at this restaurant did taste great.

Instead of this Deep Fried Chicken (唐あげ Karaage), they have a new deep fried chicken recipe called 竜田あげ Tatsutaage.
