Katsu-Shack

Fast food restaurant · Lakeview East

"This unassuming restaurant in Lakeview can be easily missed at the intersection of Halsted and Clark, but that would be a mistake. Katsu-Shack uses top-quality pork in its dishes, delectable and perfectly crispy pork cutlets (tonkatsu) and nicely seasoned. A newish dish, black katsu curry, is like a warm hug. The tornado fries, which are popular at night markets and other food festivals, are a nice touch. The space is decorated with memorabilia celebrating Japanese baseball, including call outs to Cubs players." - Ashok Selvam
