About this place
At kitchen katakura, the meal takes a different shape depending on whether you choose a fried-food set or fresh pasta. For a taste of several kinds of cutlet, the mixed cutlet set brings together pork fillet, pork loin and fried shrimp. Several sets come with rice, miso soup and dessert, including a combination of fried shrimp and pork fillet.
One diner described the fried shrimp and pork fillet set as a generous serving, with plump shrimp and fillet cut into easy-to-eat pieces. They also noted that the accompanying vegetables were plentiful and the dressing was served separately. Another diner who ordered chicken nanban and fried shrimp wrote that the chicken came with tartare sauce and a sweet sauce, while the texture of the shrimp stood out.
If pasta sounds more appealing than fried food, you can choose between vongole bianco, with clams in a white-wine base, and vongole rosso, made with tomato sauce. The menu also includes pasta with anchovies, bacon, garlic and chilli, as well as seafood arrabbiata. One diner opted for the fresh pasta set with oil sardines and lemon, offering a different sort of meal from the set dishes.
The dining room is small; one group of three diners remarked that their dishes filled the table. The restaurant is also described as suitable for solo diners, whether you come for a substantial set meal or a pasta dish of your choice.
