I tried the Katsu Chicken Sando (classic). The bread is thick and fluffy, the chicken is hot and crispy, packed with white cabbage, Japanese mayo and tonkatsu sauce. I thoroughly enjoyed it and would recommend giving this a try as it’s different to your typical high street sandwich. Would love to see a Tomago (Egg) Sando one day. Fries tasted like McCain oven fries (would skip). The Shirakikur grape drink was very refreshing but it’s artificially flavoured (try it if that doesn’t bother you). My 5 rating is reserved for the Sando.
This place does a delicious chicken Katsu curry! Nice big portion too! Lovely staff, be sure to get there are close to 12 as you can as it gets SUPER busy after 12:30PM due to the lunch time rush. Great value for money too!
Tried the chicken katsu. The bread was thin and fell apart. Food was piping hot, good sauce, and good portion size. Small shop with an interior that could use some work. Service was okay.
Super tasty and very authentic tasting sando. The portion is great and the veggie celeriac one is just as flavourful as the chicken
An absolutely wonderful taste of Japan. The pork katsu and chicken katsu were both substantial, and the curry and rice were nothing short of fantastic.
