On the search for new places to eat for lunch near where I live, I came across this place called Shack Tapazaka. Located the street right behind Times Square, it's a bar at night. But during the day, it serves value for money lunch sets.

Lunch menu is in English and Chinese. There is no 10% service charge. What it includes is a main, miso soup, appetizer and Shack's ice tea. For coffee, tea or dessert, it's an additional $20.

 This is Shack's Special Ice Tea. It was pretty good and had a taste of cinnamon and lemon. It was sweetened with honey. I should note that there are unlimited refills. Another good point is they refill without asking. Bonus points!

 I ordered the katusdon set for $88. It arrived in on a tray.

 The miso soup was fairly good and didn't really taste like watered down miso paste. The appetizer that day was spicy squid. It wasn't too spicy and tasted a bit like the sweet and spicy sauce you find in Thai restaurants.

 The pork chop was served on the side instead of on top of the rice like usual. This was pretty good as it ensured the pork chop would maintain it's crispiness.  There was also a side of salad which was ok.

 Pork chop was moist and not dried out. The amount of coating was thin and crispy.

 Everything was good until I had the rice. The egg and onion layer was pretty good. But the rice was mushy and overcooked. It was so mushy, it was bordering on congee. I really dislike soft rice. This was the only part of the meal that made me want to cry. Otherwise, the rest of the meal was fine.

 I will be back as everything was good except for the rice. I will give it the benefit of the doubt and retry it again with another choice next time. And in hopes the  rice will not be overcooked next time. Service was pretty good and they do refill the ice tea without asking. So, yes, I will be back.
