The set comes with udon and 2 pieces of karaage! Even as a set, it's great value, so I'd definitely recommend going with the set option!! The karaage was so tasty haha ![Close-up of the meat-loaded rice bowl piled with toppings](https://img.superchart.com/images/kkachisan-hackbap-beef-cube-steak-donburi/kkachisan-hackbap-beef-cube-steak-donburi-09-19q01-900.webp) ![A bowl of meat-loaded rice bowl with tender pork neck](https://img.superchart.com/images/kkachisan-hackbap-beef-cube-steak-donburi/kkachisan-hackbap-beef-cube-steak-donburi-10-juqbg-900.webp) The toppings were piled on generously, so every bite was satisfying all the way through.

The vegetables cooked along with it were also delicious, and they paired really well with the meat. The sauce itself was so good that I thoroughly enjoyed every bite! ![Chicken karaage and cabbage salad included with the set](https://img.superchart.com/images/kkachisan-hackbap-beef-cube-steak-donburi/kkachisan-hackbap-beef-cube-steak-donburi-14-1j076-900.webp) The chicken karaage that came with the set was also really tender, and eating it together with the cabbage salad was delicious. ![Honey-topped cheese rice cake fritter](https://img.superchart.com/images/kkachisan-hackbap-beef-cube-steak-donburi/kkachisan-hackbap-beef-cube-steak-donburi-15-8oald-900.webp) The rice cake fritter that came with it was cheese rice cake topped with honey. It had a sweet flavor, so it worked well as a dessert after the meal haha. I loved that the set let me enjoy a variety of side dishes instead of just the rice bowl alone! ## Free amenities at the entrance and the review event ![Febreze, toothpicks, and hair ties at the restaurant entrance](https://img.superchart.com/images/kkachisan-hackbap-beef-cube-steak-donburi/kkachisan-hackbap-beef-cube-steak-donburi-16-rukdm-900.webp) At the entrance, they even had Febreze, toothpicks, and hair ties ready.
