Chef Katsu Brooklyn

If you live in Clinton Hill, you probably go to Chef Katsu on Greene Ave. once a week. (And there was that one week when you went to this counter-service Japanese spot three times, but we don’t have to talk about that week.) Everything on the menu is a good choice, but here’s what to order, and when: The curry rice bowl always, the salmon and ikura bowl if you’re hot and bothered, the salmon dashi chazuke—which comes with a cup of dashi broth—if you need to be healed, and the pork katsu burger if you just need a sandwich. There are a few tables inside, but we think the curry tastes better on your couch, and the salmon bowl tastes better with iced yuzu mint lemonade in Fort Greene Park.
