There are probably equally as good places at a lower price, but I'm nostalgic over this place, so I'm biased. You order on a tablet and it's an easy process from choosing a base to toppings and protein. The portion size is on the larger size, and it's nice that the rice, sauce, and protein are in equal proportions. I order the medium spice and that has a good kick to it!

Robongi's lunch special is from 11am-4pm on weekdays. You have a choice between 2 or 3 rolls and it comes with a soup or salad. All the fish tasted super fresh and the fish-to-rice ratio was on point! I loved the salmon avocado and spicy tuna; those are 2 classics I tend to get wherever a lunch special is offered. I also got the spicy scallop which came at an up-charge. A lot of places don't offer this so I didn't mind the additional $2. Flavor-wise, I actually enjoyed it a lot but there was a lot of tempura crunch when I would have preferred it to be all scallop. The miso soup had a rich umami flavor but not much tofu in it. Good quality, reasonably priced, and super fast service!

We got a spicy tuna roll combined with shrimp tempura. That was very delicious. We got another roll topped with salmon. It was OK. It did not pack as much flavor.

That too was smothered in comfort food brown curry gravy. Solid all around. The curry dishes are around 20 bucks each but the portions they give a very large. You will definitely leave satiated.

I got back from Japan 3 weeks ago, and the abundant access to high level Katsu ruined me. I can only equate it to growing up on Dominos Pizza, and then you have that first real quality brick oven pizza and you're like "oh there are really levels to this..." It takes a piece of your innocence that you will never get back. Big bro put a hand on my shoulder and said, "Lil Bro, I've already walked a mile in these shoes. We are going to Katsu-Hama." Next thing I know, we are on 47th street walking into what I can only describe as a wormhole straight to a restaurant in the bustling streets of Tokyo. We ordered the Berkshire Pork Loin Curry, with an extra cutlet each because we are big dawgs. Upon first bite, hope was restored. I could breath again. Beneath delicate crackles of the crisp golden shell, the pork was impossibly tender. The curry came in over the top with a gentle sweetness and depth to tie it all together. I hate to be a prisoner of the moment, but this was just as good, if not better, than any katsu I had in Japan. I've been 3 times in the past week, and Katsu-Hama is currently my favorite restaurant in New York City. SHOUTOUT TO MY BIG BRO! IG @johnny.novo Tiktok @jnov__ Substack @johnnynovo

There was a short wait, but from what I could see, a variety of tables here and seating. Not the biggest place, dark, intimate, wood accents and small spotlights over tables. We ordered buns and spicy edamame to start. It seemed like we had just ordered when the food came out. Love that. Buns were incredibly good - a close second to a joint in Chicago we ate at last weekend. Succulent meat, plenty of sauce, and just the usual pillowy bun. The edamame didn't seem spicy at first - then my face melted. Still good but a deep burning spiciness to them as advertised. For my entree I got the beef miso ramen, adding corn and an egg. The corn wasn't just a pile of kernels - but a side slice of a cob. Cool presentation. Beef was good and the broth soothed my soul. Top 10 ramen places I've been - well done.

We tried the spicy shrimp (coconut based broth), spicy tonkatsu, and salmon miso ramen. The tonkatsu and salmon were both cooked well - tender and moist. Ramen noodles were thin and well cooked - more al dente. We also tried the karaage which had a thick crispy batter and a sweet glaze, with an optional spicy side sauce for dipping. They had a variety of sake and beer options. The inside is small but turnaround is fairly quick. Lots of two seaters and a large table that we were able to snag after just a few minutes of waiting. There was also bar seating. Pretty dark inside to add to the ambiance for a quick date or catch up with friends. Checked in to the waitlist via Resy because we didn't have a reservation, and it was a short wait. Service was prompt.
