"Hungry and wistful about the recent closing of Hurry Curry on Sawtelle, I stopped into Interstellar near the Third Street Promenade for a West LA katsu curry fix. The Japanese curry at this new-ish cafe is silky smooth, even golden in the right light, and comes with a generous mound of rice that’s topped with a panko-crusted chicken cutlet. Slicing through the crunchy katsu with your knife, and scooping it up with a bit of rice and curry to craft the perfect bite is practically meditative. And all together it’s delicious. While the owners are Korean-American, their menu spans everything from chilaquiles and pasta to bulgogi, shakshuka, and katsu curry. Judging by what I saw on tables nearby, they pull off the wide range of offerings and I’ll definitely be back to try more. -AS" - the infatuation los angeles crew
