Katsu Katsu

You're walking down Ashburner Street and the smell hits you first: hot oil, tonkatsu sauce, and something genuinely good happening in the kitchen. Katsu Katsu strips back the pretence and just does what it does well — breaded pork cutlets that crack when you cut into them, served with that sharp, slightly sweet sauce that makes everything better. It's the kind of place where the regulars know what they're ordering before they sit down, and there's no nonsense about it. The ratings speak for themselves: 4.6 out of 5 from nearly 40 reviews tells you Bolton's been waiting for this.
