Katsumoto Sando Bar
2021-04-21 590 views
On the hunt for the best hidden gems in HK, and Katsumoto is definitely on the list! I’ve been to the SYP branch andpictured above is the newly opened Sheung Wan Katsumoto Sando Bar - the menu is slightly different from the normal restaurant location, but still equally as delicious! 🥰Mostly a chill area for snacks and quite bites and less of an actual lunch place.

Was recommended Katsumoto by a foodie friend of mine who said it was a nice simple down to earth restaurant.

The main attraction here is the wagyu katsu sandwich.

The lunch set seems reasonable a bento box with edamame (boiled edamame beans), sunomono (pickled cucumbers), miso soup, two pieces of Gyoza, and a wagyu katsu sandwich. Price is $298.

There are other choices such as Tsukune sandwich (minced chicken), impossible beef sandwich, omnipork sandwich and a chicken kara-age bento.

Arriving at the restaurant, I was cautious. The decoration was gaudy (read East Los Angeles Mexican run sushi shop serving rainbow maki) with a samurai armour at the door, mutlcoloured cocktail umbrellas hanging from the roof and a mural of a geisha who looks like she’s from a video game cover pained on the wall. EDM was blasting from the speakers on the wall reinforcing the gaudy feel.

On the food. Deeply disappointed.

1. Miso soup had no miso and was all dashi and instant flavouring.
2. The sunomono was overly vinegary and the cucumbers way to soft having been over soaked.
3. The edamame was visibly frozen and not fresh. I’ve had fresher peas at Harry Ramsden’s.
4. My Gyoza was half cooked and the skin not fried but half raw.
5. The katsu sando was poorly constructed and falling apart.

This is clearly a place that is riding on a boom and the closest to Japanese food is maybe the kewpie mayonnaise they claim to use.

My non-Japanese friend who recommended this place raves about it. As a Japanese person, I would be ashamed of this if this were served in the 7-11 or Lawson convenience store at my station.
