My brother first introduced me to this place in Manukau, and I’ve gone back many times since. It is kind of like the Japanese donburi version of Subway; donburi made your own way. You choose your two selections of meats; there are a few to choose from like teriyaki chicken, beef, chicken katsu etc. and they are so tasty! Then you get to choose your own salads and noodles and Japanese sides that go great in a beef bowl. All of this on top of rice and a few sauces of your choice and boom, you got yourself a delicious lunch with all the toppings that you actually wanted in it. Cheap as too. The wasabi mayonnaise sauce is really good, but adds quite a kick to your dish, so watch out.

Katsubi is a recent addition to the Manukau food court and I was pretty excited when I found out it would be opening there. I think I just has crazy expectations of this place, because it’s just wasn’t as good as I’s remembered. The staff here are very… loud. They love handig out samples and coercing into the lunch you never realised you wanted until that very moment. If you’re going at lunchtime, I don’t suggest ordering off the menu because it takes about 15 – 20 minutes of standing and waiting before your order is ready. My chicken katsu took a while and it wasn’t that great of a meal. The chicken was a little drier than I’d expected and even the rice seem just a little undercooked. I’d stick with their sushi wraps and donburi for an easy lunch with no fuss. Katsubi does pretty good Japanese food but try and go here when it’s quiet or just before lunch because this place gets packed. And if you’re thinking of stopping to look at menu, be prepared for all the powers of persuasion to get all the sushi and salad your heart desires!
