I know, after all the oyakodon posts on this blog, to write that headline will most likely cause some controversy (especially with Donny T.), but having grown up in Tokyo for eight years of my childhood, I have eaten (and actually cook at home) a lot of oyakodon, and the one at Katsuhama is, in fact, the best I’ve had in Midtown.
Thanks to Lunch’er Michelle for passing along this one… Katsuhama 55 (on 55th btw. 5+6th) is one year old, and to celebrate they’re offering a special lunchtime curry for just $5.50. The lunch deal (as well as some dinnertime specials) runs today, Monday and Tuesday. Check out the full flyer, after the jump…

Sietsema Loves Midtown: Midtown Lunch friend and personal hero Robert Sietsema has been doing some nice eating in Midtown lately... yesterday he reviewed the new location of Katsuhama (on 55th btw. 5+6th), and on Tuesday joined my farewell lunch tour for some Biriyani Cart and Kati Roll.

Thanks to Lunch’er “Miche” for posting this great deal in the ML forums (and sending along the photo above). The new location of Katsuhama (on 55th btw. 5+6th) is offering a Monday lunch special. $5.50 gets you “curry over rice with your choice of katsu – chicken, pork tenderloin or pork loin- plus all you can eat salad.” And what do you know? Today is Monday! (Note: The special is only available at the 55th Street location.)

Get 50% Off at Katsuhama: The original location of Katsuhama (on 47th btw. Mad+5th) is celebrating its 15th anniversary by offering 50% off their 3 lunch specials through Thursday, eat in only, from from 11:30am to 3pm. That's a delicious high quality pork cutlet lunch for under $6. Nice. (Deal not available at the new 55th Street location.)

Katsuhama Has Reopened: The original Katsuhama (on 47th btw. Mad+5th), which closed a few weeks ago for renovations, has reopened. The good news for cheap Midtown Lunch'ers is that Sushi Tei, the little take out area in the front of the restaurant, is still serving cutlet bentos from the Katsuhama kitchen.

Kind of missed this bit of news last week when talking about the new Katsuhama opening on 55th btw. 5+6th… the original Katsuhama (on 47th btw. Mad+5th) is actually closed for the next 2-3 weeks for renovations. Thankfully Sushi-Tei, the little take out area in the front of the restaurant is still open- and they’ve added bentos featuring katsu from the Katsuhama menu/kitchen to their regular slate of offerings. So for those of you who don’t like to splurge for Katsuhama, here’s a chance to get a fast food version of their food, for under $10.

Lunch’er Brian sends word that the new Katsuhama (on 55th btw. 5+6th) is now open. He had lunch there yesterday, and was nice enough to send along this report:
I really like Katsu-Hama and have been waiting impatiently for the one on 55th to open ever since I saw the notice on midtownlunch as it is much closer to my office. I used to walk down to the one on 47th to eat their katsu lunch special, but it’s a bit of a trek. Even though they promised to open at the beginning of August, it took them until the very last day of the month to open, which made it more of a September opening, but it’s finally here!

When I crave a little Japanese curry rice with fried meat cutlets I usually hit up Go Go Curry (on 38th btw. 7+8th) or Yagura (on 41st btw. Mad+5th), but for a nice sit down splurge Katsu-hama is the jam (on 47th btw. Mad+5th.) which makes this news kind of exciting… Matsuya Foods, the company that owns Menchanko Tei and Katsu-hama, is turning Onigashmia (the Japanese spot connected to the Menchanko Tei on 55th btw. 5+6th) into a second branch of Katsuhama. I never tried Onigashima, so I don’t know if this is an upgrade or downgrade… all I do know is it’s good news for any tonkatsu fans working in the northern part of Midtown. They’re hoping to have the location up and running by the end of the month.
