"Pork Katsu Curry From Wagamama Islington’s location on top of the Angel Centre, you can look towards (but not quite see) where Tanakatsu is. Regardless, you should walk down the stairs and head towards this katsu curry specialist over the UK’s favourite. The low-key restaurant offers a few varieties of thick katsu curry and, for under £20, it’s a familiar and irresistible meal. The pork katsu, with juicy meat and a chunk of fat on the end, is a favourite." - rianne shlebak, jake missing
"Although best known for its katsu dishes, Tanakatsu in Angel also has a solid and very affordable sushi selection. An assorted sashimi set is £17, while nigiri and rolls are just over a tenner. It’s good quality at good prices, and it’s open Monday to Wednesday." - jake missing
"At Japanese spot Tanakatsu, you can get a solid pork katsu curry for under £20, at lunch or dinner, any weeknight you fancy. If that’s not reason enough to head over to Angel after a day at home or work, then we don’t know what is. But, just in case, we’ll give you some more: sushi, a selection of teriyaki dishes, and chicken kara-age." - heidi lauth beasley, jake missing, rianne shlebak, sinead cranna
"You can get two meals, along with a selection of four Japanese beers or a bottle of house wine, for £40 at this katsu specialist in Angel. The offer is valid every day except Sunday." - rianne shlebak
