About This Dish

Wagamama kids chicken katsu with katsu curry sauce costs £6.70 and carries 426 kcal, which buys a smaller, calmer version of the katsu the adult menu built its name on. A breaded chicken fillet comes sliced over white rice with carrot, cucumber and sweetcorn, and the katsu curry sauce arrives in a little pot on the side rather than poured over the top.

That pot on the side is the smartest thing about the plate. A child who loves the sauce dunks every piece, and a child who distrusts anything wet eats plain crispy chicken and rice, so one dish covers both temperaments. The sauce itself is the same mild, faintly sweet coconut curry the adults get, warm rather than hot, and most children who manage a korma take it without blinking. The raw carrot and cucumber do double duty as vegetables and as something to hold, which counts for a lot with the age group this menu feeds.

The kids chicken katsu calories work out to about a fifth of an adult's 2,000 kcal reference day, with around 22 g of protein and a genuinely low 0.6 g of salt, numbers that make it one of the easier restaurant meals for a parent to say yes to. The portion runs to roughly a third of the adult chicken katsu curry, sized for a primary school appetite, and a hungry ten year old sometimes clears it and starts eyeing the dessert list. Against its neighbours it shares the top price on the kids menu with the kids chicken ramen, and the yasai katsu plates cost less while carrying more calories, which surprises most parents reading the board.

On allergens, the coating brings gluten, wheat and egg, and the curry sauce adds mustard. The may contain list for this plate is long and includes peanuts and every major tree nut, so speak to a server before ordering for a child with a nut allergy; wagamama kitchens are shared and cross contact is possible. Parents asking how much is the kids chicken katsu with katsu curry sauce should treat the menu board on the day as final, since London and airport sites price a touch higher. A side of chicken gyoza splits neatly between parent and child if one portion looks light, and the banana katsu on the dessert menu keeps the katsu joke running for pudding.

Tips

  • Keep the sauce on the side even at home; the coating stays crisp and a suspicious eater keeps a plain fallback.
  • A meat thermometer earns its keep with small fillets, which overcook in the time it takes to answer the door. Pull the chicken at 74°C.
  • Make double the sauce and freeze half; it reheats in 10 minutes and turns any midweek rice and protein into katsu night.

Variations

  • Bake the coated fillets at 200°C for 15 to 18 minutes on an oiled tray if you want no pan of hot oil; brush the panko with oil first so it colours.
  • Swap the chicken for fingers of sweet potato and squash to copy the kids yasai katsu.
  • Stir extra curry powder into the grown up share of the sauce once the kids portion is out of the pan.

Serve with: Cold carrot and cucumber sticks and a small apple juice; the plate needs nothing else fried.

It costs £6.70 at most UK restaurants, sharing the top price on the kids menu with the kids chicken ramen. London and airport sites price slightly higher, so the board on the day is the final word.
Wagamama publishes 426 kcal for the plate, about a fifth of an adult's 2,000 kcal reference day and a sensible size for a primary school appetite. It also brings around 22 g of protein with well under 1 g of salt.
The listed allergens are gluten, wheat, egg and mustard, but the may contain line for this plate includes peanuts and every major tree nut. Every wagamama kitchen is shared, so speak to the server before ordering for any child with a medical nut allergy.
No. It is a mild, slightly sweet coconut curry that lands as warmth rather than heat, and it comes in a pot on the side so a cautious child controls every dip. Children who eat a korma at home handle it easily.
Roughly a third of the adult dish by calories, built around one small fillet and a smaller mound of rice. Older children with big appetites sometimes add a dessert, and the kids pricing leaves room for that.
