New Japanese restaurant: Monkatsu on North Cross Rd

Recommended Posts

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.

My partner and I ate a lovely lunch st Monkatsu today. We were given a free miso soup (tasty) followed by sushi and sashimi for me and a mixed Katsu curry for him. Plus a couple of glasses of wine.


Service was charming. ?40 all in.


We shall be going back!

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.

  • 4 weeks later...

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.

    • The other thing I do at an ATM, is cover the card slot with my right hand while the card is in there. I then use my left hand for the rest. If a card does not come out, then you can look for a skimming device and remove it, ATMs are badly designed imo. They could be recessed to make side sccess impossible for a would be theif. The pin number aspect is a weakness also.
    • It's a criminal offense. CICs can't fundraise on the street - they're a less regulated form of organization and that lighter touch means you can't do certain things until you commit to greater regulation.   If you want to fundraise on the street then you need to become a charity. if they have mislead a shop by stating that they are a charity, they're breaking criminal law. if they're on the pavement, again they are not licensed to do that and are breaking the law.  
    • Excellent, I hope so!
    • It's certainly a risky strategy, as well as ticking everyone off, the gazunderer risks losing the property and also their costs incurred during the process e.g. legal & survey. It's hard to mitigate against but I always think that if you're desperate to sell, don't ever convey that  to your estate agent, as that info more than likely gets passed on to potential buyers. You should be doing that regardless of whether gazundering is happening or not, as it will affect the offers you receive... That's correct. Some agents have policies in place to 'discourage' gazundering and gazumping, but ultimately it comes down to the morals of the buyer...
