Life has been busy for Millwater couple Radhika and Bipendra Ram since they opened Katsubi in Silverdale in February.
For Radhika, who runs the business, it has been a 9am-9pm commitment, seven days a week taking care of customers who often queue up for the franchise’s well-loved fried chicken, salad, noodles and other options.
Radhika previously worked in travel but took time off to be with the couple’s three children after Covid-19.
“I wanted to get back into doing something for myself, and when this came up it seemed a great fit,” she says.
The couple employ 12 staff, and a head chef.
Bipendra, who also runs a transport business, prioritises quality control. One reason they bought the business was his love of Katsubi’s food, and Bipendra checks everything daily to make sure it’s at the very highest standard.
One of their speciality dishes is ‘chicken dak’ (delicious authentic Katsubi), but Bipendra says the vegetarian/vegan option of tofu is also very popular.
“People enjoy being able to make their own selections, getting exactly what they want,” he says.
Radhika says their children also get involved, the oldest ones coming in to serve customers whenever they can.
“We are very family-orientated and take good care of all the kids who come here to eat,” she says.
