  • Otaku Katsu is serving Japanese-style sandwiches, and New Yorkers are lining up to try them. With a 350-square-foot restaurant, the chef and owners are keeping the menu small to focus on quality comfort classics they know and love, like the egg-salad sando and katsu sando. The BEC Katsu, a twist on the classic, is also very popular.

      Basically. So many people living in such a small area.... most places are tiny and many over priced. So finding a good, worth your money, comfy kind of spot really does pick up notoriety.

      Let's use our brain for one second, you have small places, it's a city so there's no parking for cars, people are on foot, lots of people in a highly densely populated place, hmm, I wonder why there are lines?

  • @whoyou6274
    @whoyou6274 4 года назад +72

    As someone who have been to Japan many times. This restaurant is shaming Japan in many ways 😂😂 considering the "price", can't they make a better representation of the food? All of this food can be easily bought in Japanese convenience store for cheap! 😱 The least they can do is to make it look just a tad bit fancier. Or make it cheaper!

      No, as someone that makes my own egg salad sandwiches I learned fast that if you spread it all the way it leaks out like mad, doing it that way when you press down it evens out and doesn't spill out.

      She says "my mom would never perfectly boil a duck egg...no shade" meaning no shade to her mom. She's essentially saying this food reminds her of her mom's cooking but elevated to restaurant standards and there's no higher compliment than that.

Milk bread is just amazing and really makes the experience delicious. Even 7-11 egg sandos are better than anything you could get here in the states they’re that good. Porku katsu sandos are my favorite though especially after a long night out and it’s 4am and you’re delirious at an izikaya close to home lol. Good memories
