About
Jan Jan Kushikatsu arrived in Hong Kong as the first overseas branch of an Osaka institution with more than a dozen shops in Japan, immediately earning its reputation as the city's definitive kushikatsu address. Chef Hideki Abeyama, an Osaka native with over a decade of training at Jan Jan's home kitchens, oversees the kitchen with the same rigorous double-dipping prohibition and house sauce etiquette that defines the original. The menu spans classic pork cutlets, wagyu beef, seasonal vegetables, and seafood, all coated in fine panko and fried in clean, light oil. Tsuyu dipping sauce, house pickles, and Japanese draught beer round out the quintessential standing-bar atmosphere elevated to a comfortable seated dining room. The Wan Chai location on Queen's Road East makes it a convenient hub for both after-work office crowds and weekend kushikatsu enthusiasts.
