Shokupan

🍞Shokupan Leeds - A Delightful Bite Stopped by @shokupanleeds and tried their famous Chicken Katsu Sandwich—it definitely lived up to the hype! 🥪✨ The chicken was crispy on the outside, tender on the inside, and paired perfectly with their soft, pillowy shokupan bread. The flavors were well-balanced and satisfying, making it a memorable treat! 😋 The vibe here was cozy and welcoming, though I’d say the portion size could’ve been just a little bigger for the price. What an amazing spot for craving quality sandwiches with a Japanese twist 🥪💕. Definitely worth a visit! 🙌 By fishenjoylife

This place is delicious! It has options for vegetarians and meat eaters alike. If you are at the station looking for a bite skip out on the usual Big Mac or cold Leon and come get some legit good food! We had the pork sando and celeriac sando both were great and came out hot and delicious portions were generous and we left happy and content! It’s not busy at the moment but I expect there will be queues for this place in the near future!

Stylish sandwich cafe. Highly recommended sandwich and rice bowl. Sit in is more expensive than takeaway, but I will try sit in next time because I cannot resit how delicious the fries are on the half way and eat some on the street.🤤 The decorations of the cafe is very cosy. There are some drawings of Yayoi Kusama 草間彌生, a world famous Japanese artist. If you know her, why not dress in brightly coloured polka dots and have a fashion pop art meal? I have ordered a sandwich of chicken Katsu sando k-town. As I interpret, the katsu here is meaning the Japanese katsu - fried with bread crumbs, NOT British katsu - curry. Sando means sandwich, so Katsu sando means Fried thing sandwich. Japanese Katsu is a special technique and is different from the fried thing in KFC. If you haven't tried it yet, then it is worth a try. K-town is a spicy sauce of Korean style. It is good if you like spicy. Besides, I have ordered a tonkatsu rice bowl with pork and classic sauce. The meaning of Tonkatsu is ton-katsu, fried pork with bread crumbs. Traditionally, fried pork rice bowl is a very popular dishes in Japan and it is normally only in pork. But here you can choose chicken or celeriac as well for different diet requirements. In the bowl there are gingers marinated with vinegar, onions and cabbages. You know, there is a service of the cabbage refill unlimited in Japanese tonkatsu restaurant. Having this taste, I miss the cabbage very much because it raise my memory as a poor student waiting for this expensive meal but very full cabbage every month. The third I have ordered is furikake fries. Furikake means the seasoning of rice, normally consists of sea weed, sesame and dried fish slice. It is interesting to see this creation of new favour. The place is a bit hidden in a small car park but it is not difficult to find. Highly Recommended. Saturday and Sunday are closed, please take a look on the updated time. What will be the difference in the evening?

Came here for a takeaway breakfast yesterday morning, I actually arrived before he had opened properly but it didn't stop him being hospitable and taking my order advising it will be ready in 15mins. Had the Okonomiyaki Hash, it was fantastic, lots of depth in flavour creamy in texture with the crunch of the cabbage, finally the pickled ginger cleansing the palate at the end. Brilliant. Easily the best breakfast I've had in a while. Recommended.
