New Japanese restaurant: Monkatsu on North Cross Rd

A thumbs up from me for this new Japanese restaurant that has now opened on the site of what was previously Bonne Bouffe. I had dinner there on Sunday night: vegetable gyoza and chicken gyoza as starters, then a very tasty Katsu curry to follow. Cost: ?55 + service for the two of us (including a bottle of white wine). The service was friendly and efficient too. Hopefully they will soon have their chip and pin machine up and running and a bit more certainty about their opening hours. But on first impressions this felt like a good addition.

Went there for lunch on Sunday.

Really impressed, had gyoza to start then my other half had a Katsu curry which he thoroughly enjoyed.

I had sashimi platter which was melt in the mouth fresh and of excellent quality

We will definitely return

it was fairly priced too with friendly efficent service.

Got down there last night. Great addition to the area, tried a few things they were all really good - with prices more than reasonable for the quality on offer.


Not mad fond of the space itself though (presumably unchanged from prior incarnation?). If the owners a reading: warm dimmed lighting, a few coloured lanterns, tea lights, - bit of ambience without any need for great expense. Other than that, great stuff. If nothing else, we?ll be deliveroo regulars.

Ditto all of the above,

Went for the first time today with our little ones and the food was superb and the children love it - the children?s menu is great value. Great sushi, tempura, gyoza, teriyaki and katsu and the prices are very good.


We will most definitely return - a very nice new addition to the area.

We had a great meal here last night.


Delicious and very reasonably priced.


We will definitely be back to try out the rest of the menu!


ETA: They have a Facebook page with the menu on, but the only website I could find currently only has photos and testimonials.


I guess Deliveroo also has the menu, but couldn't access it at the moment as they are closed.

Weirdly (I think) this seems to be a bit of a thing at the moment.


I don't understand why, but there you go!

It would seem they do not currently have their own Website, ??


At least I have not been able to find one through a Google search.

Perhaps this is because they rely on fresh ingredients and the menu may be subject to variation.

small buisneses don't always have the time or staff to regularly update a website.

I only need to see online menu's when the restaurant's name gives no indication as to the type of cuisine served

Also if you're local pop down the road and have a look at the menu in their window.

    • I agree with the posts that housing is an urgent need in Peckham and throughout Southwark. But as Alice says, it’s the percentage of social / affordable housing that matters. In October last year, there were over 4,200 households on the Council’s waiting list for housing in Peckham alone (over 17 thousand across Southwark). But the developer is only offering 35% affordable housing (which means that 65% will be unaffordable). Both Southwark Council and the GLA say that a big development like this should provide 50% affordable housing.   Re-development of the site is a great opportunity to make the town centre “cleaner, safer and more sustainable and welcoming” (borrowing Nigello’s great words). Is this dense development going to do that, when it provides no real green and open space where people can spend time outside and nature can help us tackle the growing problems of climate change like absorbing flood water, cooling the air on baking summer days? Are 7-storey buildings along Rye Lane (where the average buildings are 2-3 storeys) going to be welcoming to users of the town centre? How will the development impact on Peckham’s economy? Currently there is busy daytime commercial activity of shops providing for different demographics and needs including a rich offering of international groceries and other products, alongside a thriving night-time economy. I can’t see anything in the proposal that suggests how it will enhance and empower the local economy. Yes please, let’s have a great development on this site that enhances the town centre. This means not letting the developer get away with packing people into dense blocks that turn their back on the town centre and which will be a recipe for urban decay in the long run. Peckham deserves better than this!
    • You know when you are wrong but think you're right because the internet etc? Read it and twist it how you want if it makes you feel better. I use a card as well as cash. You are pro jumping the gun and pro cynical. Yeah,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, Pro cash 🙃Who isn't? Is being pro card some kind of middle class virtue signaling thing? Like jumping to conclusions seems to be. Oooh the uncouth commoner uses that dirty cash stuff. Orf with his head.
    • Using cash is a good way of budgeting for some, if they don't have the cash in their pocket they can't buy things they may not need.  Financial institutions are keen to get us to all use plastic and credit because its harder to spot when you are at your limit and debit equates to interest which is how they make money. So dear Sephiroth, before you slam people for being pro cash, maybe think about why they are and not just view the world from your limited perspective 🤔 
    • The card machine in the dry cleaner's wasn't working, so the guy asked my husband to go to the cash till and withdraw some money....
