Katsu isn’t your run-of-the-mill Asian restaurant. The founding chefs, Ilya and Rais, decided to honor South Korea, Japan, China, and other cultures by creating a wonderful menu that’s spiced with kimchi, soy sauce, teriyaki, and so many different seasonings and flavors.

Dive into mouthwatering katsu sandos, steaming ramen, and comforting plates like golden pork katsu or juicy steak with egg yolk and rice. Begin your Katsu journey with bold starters like pickled eggs, pineapple kimchi, or their delicate tuna tataki. Another great thing about it? This fresh take on Asian flavors sits right in the heart of Lisbon, in Cais do Sodré.

Insider tip: They have a strong list of natural wines.
