Katsu Hiro

An amazing experience from start to finish! Order the chicken special, and you will want to pay him double what he charges. Best place I’ve eaten in yokosuka, hands down.

Before arriving in the area my friends that used to live in Yokosuka tell me– «Try the Katsu Man place by Womble». Monday I finally got a chance to. If you’re in a rush, this place may not be for you. But if you have some time and want to watch an expert cook his speciality please come on in, remove your shoes and have a seat.
I was with two friends from Hawaii. They ate here before and recommended the tonkatsu. I decided to order it. Before we even order the chef started preparing some chopped up veggies, an apple and some shrimp. We all ordered the tonkatsu. He continued on his routine tenderizing the pork and breading the veggies, shrimp and apples. As we enjoy the Hawaiian music– Israel kamakawiwo’olé (Braddah Iz) music playing in the background, he continues his magic of breading and frying. He has it to a science. Timing the frying and transferring the Katsu from on fryer to another. We continue to talk about old times and before you know it the meal was done.
The Tonkatsu– perfectly breaded. The pork was tender and delicious. Generous serving. Totally worth the wait. The meal also included a tasty salad, miso soup, apples and shrimp tempura. What shocked me and took the show was the apple slices tempura. Awesomeness!(is that a word?).
The atmosphere was pleasant. Very relaxing. Enjoyed the pictures on the walls and background music.
Great experience!
