Settle in for crunchy, golden katsu and Japanese set meals at a cosy CBD eatery
Katsuhon is located in a small Queen Street space that looks air-lifted from the streets of Tokyo.

Katsuhon, a small timber structure beneath an imposing office building, looks air-lifted from a Tokyo street. 70 people at a time can sit down for teishoku (set meals of a main, miso soup, rice, pickles) served on wooden trays, with the hero dish being crunchy pork loin. Each set is complete with condiments from fragrant truffle salt for an extra umami kick, to wasabi and dijon mustard, plus DIY ground sesame seeds to combine with thick tonkatsu dipping sauce.
Other crumbed and fried items abound, from meatballs to unagi eel. There are also nabe (hot pot) sets, contemporary hybrids like creamy carbonara udon, plus a selection of drinks including Japanese beer, sake and riffs on classic cocktails.
