"When it comes to fried chicken, more surface area means more crunch. And no fried chicken sandwich has more surface area than the katsu-style one at Mama Yoshi Mini Mart. The chicken is about twice as wide as the potato bun it comes on, so it spills out the sides, like the white of a fried egg. Bring some Tums, and get the spicy version that burns while it goes down. This konbini-style Ridgewood takeout spot also does a great cauliflower katsu sandwich, in addition to katsu bowls, in case you’d like to swap your bread for rice." - carlo mantuano, kenny yang, neha talreja, bryan kim
