Free Katsu Sandos at Rekodo Katsu Kanteen

Overview

A new Japanese spot is touching down at Barangaroo House this May, slinging Japanese snacks, sandwiches and bowls from the ground floor's House Bar. Rekōdo Katsu Kanteen is upstairs restaurant and listening bar Rekōdo's little sister.

To commemorate its grand opening on Wednesday, May 15, the casual eatery will be giving out free sandos (sweet potato, prawn or chicken katsu) to the first 100 guests from 1pm.

Headed up by Barangaroo House Head Chef Michael Dabbs, the menu spotlights Japanese comfort food. Standouts include the market sashimi with pickled ginger and wasabi, crispy eggplant with pickled chilli, and soft-shell crab baos topped with pickles and hot sauce. For something more substantial, there are options like bang bang chicken salad, wagyu donburi with wagyu tataki, and a wafu salad with your choice of protein.

Of course, the main sandos are available in the form of prawn and crab katsu with cabbage and tartar sauce, pork katsu with an omelette and bulldog sauce, two chicken katsu options, and a vego-friendly sweet potato miso katsu.

Rekōdo Katsu Kanteen will open to the public on Wednesday, May 15. Head to the website for more details.
