A widely beloved katsu specialist made moves to Brisbane’s western suburbs in 2023. KatsuCo, which has already established a foothold in Brisbane’s food scene (and our hearts) with locations in Sherwood, North Lakes and Southport, opened its fourth outpost on in August. Owner and chef Louis Seo snagged a plum 170-sqm space at the base of the Jephson Hotel in Toowong, a mere stone’s throw from Toowong Village. The specialty here is katsu, but not just any kind of katsu. Louis and his team makes the dish with French cooking techniques and ingredients – an approach that elevates the crispy and golden panko-crumbed morsels to its premium pinnacle. Louis is shaking up the formula with his Toowong location. For the first time, KatsuCo Toowong offers breakfast. Expect to see the likes of katsu sandos and omurice (accompanied by katsu, of course) on the morning menu alongside cups of specialty coffee. The lunch and dinner menu will feature all of the usual KatsuCo faves, including the signature tomahawk katsu and cheese katsu sets, as well an assortment of donburi and noodle dishes.
