New restaurant near Olmos Park: In Krazy Katsu's fried chicken sandwiches, Japan meets Nashville
https://www.expressnews.com/food/restaurants/article/Chicken-restaurant-San-Antonio-17329713.php
There are more than 10 sandwiches on the debut menu, ranging from from tame to flame. The DNA contains kung fu sauce, Thai chiles and what’s dubbed as “insanely hot spices” that include the Carolina Reaper, a pepper that hits the charts on the Scoville Scale in excess of 1.5 million units and is considered the hottest in the world. The menu description cautions patrons not to order it if they don’t like heat.
“The DNA is definitely a food challenge,” Jessica said.
The sandwiches average about $15 each, with the fried chicken breast cutlets weighing in between 12 and 14 ounces, served on sweet Hawaiian rolls. Sides are extra and include pickled cucumbers; coleslaw; cabbage; crinkle-cut seasoned fries; and panko breaded, deep-fried potato croquettes. If the heat is too much to take, customers can wash it down with available beer and wine at Krazy Katsu. There are a few seats available inside at a bar area, but the counter-service restaurant is mostly designed for covered outdoor seating.
For those wanting to try a variety of sandwiches, the Slide Chicks option allows you to choose any three flavors as a slider for $15.25. “Our menu is designed for versatility, so people can customize our chicken sliders and get a taste of multiple flavors,” Jessica said.
