Why it's worth checking out
Papi Katsu sits on St Georges Terrace in the heart of the Perth CBD. A much-loved Japanese restaurant specialising in katsu, it's earned a strong reputation — combining quality, crispy Japanese katsu and fare with a relaxed, welcoming setting, the kind of tasty, crowd-pleasing spot that's become a genuine favourite for city workers and locals.
The appeal is that combination of quality, satisfying Japanese katsu and fare and a handy central location, perfect for a tasty lunch, a casual dinner or a satisfying feed while in the city. Quality katsu done well is a real winner, and Papi Katsu has clearly won over a big, loyal following in the CBD.
With a 4.4 rating from more than 700 reviews, it's clearly hitting the mark. Menus, opening hours and pricing vary, and a popular city restaurant gets busy at meal times, so it's worth checking current details before a special trip — though for quality Japanese katsu, it's often just a matter of dropping in at Papi Katsu on St Georges Terrace in central Perth.
