Katch Oriental Food in Bandon

We decided to give Katch Oriental Food in Bandon another try since the business has recently changed ownership, and we were pleasantly surprised by the value on offer. They currently have a great online deal for €20 called the Dinner for 1, which includes any starter, any chicken or beef main, a side of rice or chips, and a can of soft drink. There were three of us ordering, so we each went for the deal. I had the dumplings with soy sauce, chicken Thai green curry, fried rice and Diet Coke. The dumplings were tasty and the soy dipping sauce was lovely. The Thai green curry was also very good. Eric had the chicken satay skewers, chicken in black bean sauce, fried rice and Diet Coke. The satay had a lovely flavour, but unfortunately the chicken was extremely chewy and the texture actually made it feel as though it hadn't been fully cooked. Because of that, it wouldn't be something I'd order again. The black bean sauce and fried rice were both good, though. Dad had the chicken cheese spring rolls, chicken curry, chips and Diet Coke. The chicken cheese spring rolls were delicious and the curry was good too. The chips were okay, although they could have done with a little more cooking. We were also given a small complimentary bag of prawn crackers, which was a nice gesture, although unfortunately most of them seemed quite soft and stale. Overall, there were some definite hits and a couple of misses. The €20 deal is very good value, and the curries, dumplings and chicken cheese spring rolls were all enjoyable. Hopefully the issues with the satay chicken and prawn crackers were just a one-off, as there is definitely potential here following the change of ownership.

Food was delicious and delivery was quick

I’ve been a regular at this place since I was 10 years old and I finally felt like writing my own review! Katch’s food is top tier, the attention to detail and how they cook Asian cuisine is amazing, the chefs definitely deserve the credit and recognition, I think the restaurant wouldn’t be as same without them. Thank you Katch Wei 🫶
