We’re keen on lunches at Katanashi for the quiet atmosphere (except for happy servers yelling greetings & goodbyes) and awesome-value sets. There are seven variations on the protien-on-rice theme, all $12. Choices include stewed beef or chicken, katsu, and sashimi tuna with a soft-boiled egg (ontama negitoro-don). Your “don” comes with a (tiny) salad, pickles and miso soup. Soft drinks are extra (but just $2.50), or you can get a lunch-sized beer for $5.
