Katsu Sando - Los Angeles (Chinatown)

I really wanted to like this place and had high hopes but the fruit sando was basically 95% cream.it was a cream sando: (

Holy wow this place was DELICIOUS! I got the shrimp sando and my friend got the chicken sando (he had never heard of or had a sandwich like that before and still talks about to this day). The shrimp sando was soooo good! Perfectly worked with walnuts and a light sweet glaze. The whole sandwich was constructed nicely and didn’t fall apart. We got cheese waffle fries and curry to share, omg it was so good. The spicy dipping sauce they give is so very nice! 10/10 experience. We ate standing with was nice because we work in an office, the ambiance in the location was really nice, it’s small and you will miss it if you are paying attention. Free parking in that area in general at certain times of the day is awful so be prepared to pay for it. I’ll definitely be back when I’m in the area.

I was looking for a Japanese restaurant around here and found this unusual restaurant specializing in cutlet sandwiches, so I decided to give it a try. The price wasn't too expensive, and the pork cutlet sandwich was just as delicious as in Japan. I'm curious about the minced meat cutlet sandwich. I might order a large quantity for watching a baseball game.

Everything was good, but I can’t stop dreaming about the Pork Katsu Sando. I just had the same thing from Moon Rabbit, and while it was decent it pails in comparison to this one. This place isn’t cheap but what you’re getting isn’t cheap either.
The egg salad sandwich is kind of small and pricey, yet heavenly. If you’ve ever lived in Asia and have experienced eating 7-Eleven/Family Mart sandwiches, you owe it to yourself to try the pinnacle of what one could be at least once in your life.

*I forgot to take any pictures of the food or the place after a Sunday hike and so please humbly accept this photo of their sticker I proudly put on my water bottle

Hands down one of the best chicken sandwiches you can get in LA, that first crispy juicy bite of the chicken and add the sauce sheeeesh, super fire, super dope, yes would recommend and would go back, this place is awesome for those chicken sandwich connoisseurs or even a great foodie, check the place out, pricing was fair and the wait wasn't long, and if you think it takes long it's cause great things take time!

We got the wagyu beef sandwich and the chicken sandwich. The beef was better as it was not as dry as the chicken. The sauce has a good kick to it when it's by itself but on the sandwiches it just adds a nice flavor. This place is definitely on the expensive side for a sandwich.

I had the pork katsu sandwich! It was filling, to say the least! The pork cutlet was very thick and sandwiched between two pieces of white bread and a slaw. It was like a fusion of Japanese and Western cuisine in a neat wrapper!

Went yesterday and they were pretty busy so the wait time was maybe like 10 mins not too bad at all! The aesthetic of the place / marketing is really cute that’s why it caught my eye. I’m a vegetarian so I got the mushroom Sando ~ overall it was good! I’m surprised they used portabello mushroom instead of oyster, it was still good not soggy. I do think the sandwiches could use a little more sauce, I think I just had ketchup on mine. It was pretty good overall but I feel like for the price it could be even better!

Gotta say this chicken Katsu sandwich is bussin chicken is juicy fries are very crispy. Worth the price!

It's a good spot for hungers on a day out in Chinatown. The walnut shrimp sando is delicious, and paired with a chilled drink it's a pretty good combination. The chicken sando gave generous portion of chicken and the bread stayed crispy. The OMG sauce is a light spicy blend but didn't give enough flavor bombing as Dave's or Daybird's sauce. The chizu fries have nori flakes and kewpie mayo seasoned on top with a tub of nacho cheese Japanese curry fusion sauce (a ton of sauce). Also generously sized. But the chicken sandwich and fries didn't blow us away. You'll need to ask for napkins and utensils. Altogether two sandwiches, fries, and a drink came out to $42, which seems to hit the pricier sandwich stops.

Superlative katsu sando. Krispy, tender, moist, delicious. Sauce is far above and beyond the basic “Bulldog” sauce. Rather pricey, but worth it for the quality.

I live in Ohio and every time I come to LA to visit family, I come here and get the shrimp katsu. It’s out of control how good that sandwich is. Worth a flight across the country.

The food is phenomenal (except for the mushroom sandwich, avoid that at all costs).

The chicken sandwiches are comparable to Chick-fil-A (or even better, I'd say).

We got takeout and the packaging, bags and boxes are super nice. One of the best I've seen in the business.

Highly recommended if you're looking for great Japanese-style chicken or pork cutlet sandwiches!

This was good, but the waffle fries were more flavorful than the sandwiches themselves. I would recommend getting the katsu curry plate if you stop by.

Go tos for this place are the pork katsu sando, pork katsu curry plate, curry cheese fries and egg salad sandwich. Not all all at the same time, well, sometimes. I'm pretty sure other items on the menu are good too but we just haven't had the chance to try them.
