Nana Ai Katsu is a hidden gem in Kaimuki, known for its delicious bentos and freshly fried food made to order. Their signature Kasane Tonkatsu Bento is a must-try, featuring layers of tender pork that are deep-fried to perfection. The shrimp katsu is also popular, made from chunks of shrimp in a patty, coated with panko, and served with a remoulade type sauce. The bentos come with rice, potato salad on a bed of lettuce, hasu, edamame, takuwan, katsu sauce, and toasted sesame seeds. The katsu is light, juicy, and not overly oily, making it a great choice for those looking for a tasty and satisfying meal.
The staff is kind and welcoming, and they offer a convenient pre-order option. Parking is easy, with a public parking lot located behind the store for a fee, making it simple to find a spot. The restaurant is dine-in with some seating, but customers order at the counter and pick up their orders themselves. Although the experience is casual, the quality of the food shines through. While some diners have mentioned the small amount of rice and sauce, the overall experience at Nana Ai Katsu is enjoyable, and many customers express a desire to return for more.
