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.

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.

    • https://chng.it/YXCH5XXVMY We live near and it’s absolute hell. The noise of the people coming and going from Peckham is the worse. They are so loud and obnoxious. This is my 5th year of this nonsense. People vomiting in my front garden, urinating in my neighbour’s gardens, throwing food into my garden. Screaming waking up my children while waiting for their Ubers. The people that organise this festival are 100% obnoxious. They told us there would be security along our road (there wasn’t). I asked them to put up my family in a hotel but they wouldn’t. It’s actually a human rights infraction for all of us this badly affected. Over the years I have spent so much money trying to be away this weekend but none of us should have to. The data also shows that most people coming are not local residents - so of 3000 tickets sold, hardly any to residents; it’s easy to argue that it disadvantages us residents way more than any conceivable benefit. My elderly neighbours are besides themselves. Every year the setup and striking of the festival blocks off the park during half term, plus the antisocial behaviour and loud noises mean actual children that live here are prevented from using the park and playgrounds. The police initially rejected the license last year… then suddenly changed their mind with no apparent reason… seems legit. Also the GALA team lie and make false statements in their advertising about consulting with us (they don’t they just tell us what is going to happen then are extremely obstinate and rude). My neighbour runs Friends of Peckham Rye and has been totally distressed by all the damage done to recent planting initiatives funded by the local community. GALA do not repair this, GALA pay off Southwark and then Southwark refuse to confirm what they are paid, or how much (if anything) is spent to repair the park.   This needs to be stopped once and for all!!   Petition asking Southwark to stop providing the license to GALA once and for all.    I mean I am sure they will listen to us just like they did about the LTNs…   https://chng.it/YXCH5XXVMY
