Today's Lunch - Katsuhama

Another quick pick me up lunch at Katushama! Today's lunch is the Japanese Fried rice which contains two pieces of fried chicken. YUM! As always, seasoned and flavored perfectly. The one thing that I was not a big fan of was the pieces of ginger that was included in my meal. Because the dish was microwaved, the overpowering smell of the ginger probably filled the office. I really hate when I bring food that is not comfortable to others (hint: do not microwave seafood). Another thing I was a little upset about is my Japanese egg was over cooked by the microwave which made it a little too dry and crispy. Still, a very filling lunch that I was not able to finish for just $7. YAY! Just be sure if you are picking up the fried rice that there are two pieces of fried chicken for you because I would've got this last week but I didnt see the meat. Muahaha!

Today's Lunch - Katsuhama

Being as indecisive as I am for lunch, I had a friend recommend sushi for me. The first thing I thought of was Katsuhama, a restaurant that I had with a friend a while back. I remember there was sushi in front, ready to be picked up so I thought it would be the best selection for today's lunch. Upon my arrival, there was so many luxurious selections, I chose to give up on bland sushi. I picked up the Buta Kimchi Don which is Stir-Fried Pork and Kimchi over rice for $7 plus tax. Over the top, over filling.

There is just enough vegetables for me, two pieces of shumai as a perk. Flavoring is great and once again, I love how I can pop in, pick up what I like and wait two minutes for it to be reheated and walk right out. The only thing is the cash only rule. I run by credit cards!

Restaurant Review - Katsuhama Restaurant

Katsuhama Restaurant
11 East 47 Street
New York, NY 10017
(212)758-5909

I had the pleasure of experiencing Katsuhama’s variety of katsu and tempuras. I love how they have a to go station outside of the restaurant that is great for New Yorkers on the run, like I am most of the time. They provide fresh lunch boxes of katsu, tempura, and sushi.


I ordered myself an over-the-top filling curry udon lunch box that came with a few tempuras, a bowl of rice, a salad, a side of eggplant and a starter of sour radish and cabbage, my favorite! I probably didn’t even eat half my food and I was stuffed. Please take into consideration that I have shrunk my stomach and I eat less now, so I’m pretty sure you’ll be able to eat all of it and be just as stuffed as I was!

I do recommend this place if you are in the area for lunch. I wouldn’t suggest taking someone out on a date here because it’s just not classy, but lunch is always a great option. I love being able to sit down and enjoy my lunch with a friend. I did not feel rushed out at all, like I do in many other places. The food does take a little longer than usual to come, but it is acceptable since it is freshly fried food.

I passed by today and I did see another line that was almost out the door, says a lot about a place for lunch. The meals are a little pricy for a lunch, but considering the amount of food they are providing you and you are eating in the city, it is extremely understandable. Lunch boxes ranged from $15-20, but they do have other dishes you can order that average $13.
