"Enjoyed pumpkin katsu with rice... We were super hungry and this was filling and tasty. Had mini veg spring rolls too - separate box so not soggy! Great alternative to the usual motorway fare. The server was really helpful and polite (young guy working on Monday 8 Aug)"

"We stopped at Moto Reading for a quick bite and I wanted something else than a burger from the usual sources. This was the first time for me to try out Chow and their katsu chicken was a pleasant surprise. They are not going to put high end restaurants out of business, but you get a healthier alternative to the burger places on their left and right. I would have preferred it with a large amount of veggies, but all in all it was a decent portion of a good curry with friendly service. They also sell sushi; that's for next time."
