KATSU

Crispy outside.
Still juicy inside.

Cutlets fried to order, sliced, and put down beside rice, cabbage salad and corn. Portions that reviewers describe as a problem for the rest of your afternoon.

Sliced katsu over rice with sauce and sesame.
The whole reason to come

Three cutlets. Pick one.

01

Cheese katsu

Pork cutlet with mozzarella sealed inside, so the first cut pulls. most ordered

02

Chicken katsu

The one reviewers call fantastically crispy and still moist. Rice, cabbage salad, corn.

03

Tonkatsu

The classic pork cutlet. Nothing clever done to it, which is the point.

If you're not in a cutlet mood

The other half of the menu

Tonkotsu ramen

Pork broth, chashu, egg, vegetables. The winter answer.

Kimbap

Rolled, sliced, easy to carry back to a desk.

Fried rice

The safe order for the person you brought with you.

A steaming bowl of ramen. Kimbap rolls sliced and arranged on a board.
Where exactly

Inside the Duke Food Block

14 Duke St E — one door, a hallway of kitchens, and King Katsu's counter inside it. One door off Duke Street East, with a hallway of kitchens behind it.

Dine in at the tables in the block, or take it out. Both work; the cutlet travels better than most fried things because it's sliced before it's boxed.
