Katsu Burger Opens Its New Location in Kent, Washington | Eater Seattle

"At the new Kent location at 6621 S 211th Street I noticed the same dining-room vibe as other spots but with an eye-catching mural of Godzilla eating a burger and fighting a samurai robot in front of the Seattle skyline and Mount Rainier. The local Japanese fried-patty franchise began as a small Georgetown restaurant in 2011 and has grown to nine Puget Sound locations (this is the chain’s second spot south of Seattle proper, after Federal Way). I’d describe the menu as decadent — the Mt. Fuji is a standout, a burger stuffed with three katsu patties (chicken, beef, and pork) and topped with egg, bacon, cheese, wasabi mayo, and tonkatsu sauce — and all the usual items are on offer while the new place ramps up service before a grand opening. Their burgers are prepared katsu style (dipped in tempura batter, coated in panko, then deep fried), and they note they use meats free from growth hormones and antibiotics. Current hours are Monday through Saturday, 11 a.m. to 8 p.m." - Gabe Guarente
