Evil Katsu

"Even though there aren’t any appearances of katsu sandwiches on our best fried chicken sandwich guide, Evil Katsu has the potential to be the first included. This pop-up out of Pretty Ricky’s on Rivington and Ludlow (that has a full brick-and-mortar location in the works) serves their sandos on very fluffy white bread, with shredded red cabbage and carrots, and the perfect amount of nori Kewpie mayo. It reminds me of why I love sandwiches that have so many textures going on - first you get the poofiness of the milk bread that’s miles better than any white bread, then crispiness of the still-juicy chicken, the crunch of the vegetables, and finally the creamy mayo. The creation is quite big, but is one of those sandwiches you just can’t put down." - carlo mantuano

"Lakeview scored another opening this week with Katsu-Shack, a casual counter-service Japanese restaurant focused on tonkatsu. Choose from pork, chicken, shrimp, or vegan katsu in sandwich or bowl form, or plain with fries on the side. And if breaded meat doesn’t excite you, there’s always the spiral-cut fried potato on a stick and milkshake combo to try." - john ringor, veda kilaru, nick allen
