What Is Ebi Katsu?

Ebi Katsu is a Japanese-style breaded prawn cutlet. Prawns are coated in golden panko breadcrumbs and deep-fried until the outside is crisp while the prawn inside stays soft and succulent, then served with a flavourful dipping sauce.

Taste, Texture and What to Expect

The panko coating gives a satisfying crunch that contrasts with the tender prawn beneath, and the dipping sauce adds a rich, savoury note that complements the natural sweetness of the seafood.

Typical Ingredients

  • Prawns
  • Panko breadcrumb coating
  • Dipping sauce

As with all dishes, ingredients and preparation can vary by location, so refer to the allergen and nutrition table above for the most accurate and current information.

Pairs Well With

Ebi Katsu is a popular choice alongside other prawn or seafood starters, such as Lollipop Prawn Kushiyaki if you’d like to compare a grilled preparation with this crispy, breaded one.

Price and Availability

Ebi Katsu pricing can vary by restaurant location, delivery platform and seasonal menu updates. Check your local wagamama menu or the wagamama app for current pricing.
