"Midtown isn’t supposed to have casual spots where you can dive into a thick cut of crispy pork for under $30. Yet here we are. Katsu Hama is an exceptional, relatively affordable katsu joint that makes other restaurants in the area look like multi-level marketing schemes. If you find yourself near Grand Central in need of a quick, unpretentious sit-down meal, grab a sturdy wooden table and eat some fried pork loin with curry or cabbage salad." - will hartman, neha talreja, bryan kim, willa moore
