Katsubi Spitfire brings the Katsubi experience to Spitfire Square on Memorial Avenue in Harewood, Christchurch. Katsubi has been a Kiwi favourite since 2002, built around one simple idea: a fresh, tasty bowl that you build and customise entirely your way, served fast so you can make the most of your day.
The heart of the menu is the Katsubi bowl, starting with the brand's iconic red rice or noodles as your base. Alongside the bowls you'll find tasty snacks like crispy fried chicken — something for lunch, an easy dinner for the family, or a quick bite any day of the week. Everything is freshly prepared daily, with quality, customisability and fast service at the centre of the Katsubi experience.
Beyond the counter, Katsubi offers build-your-own bowl catering for groups from 10 to over 100 through K-atering, drawing on more than 20 years of experience serving Kiwi businesses across New Zealand. Orders can be placed in store, online, or through the Katsubi app.
Katsubi Spitfire brings the Katsubi experience to Spitfire Square on Memorial Avenue in Harewood, Christchurch. It belongs to a brand that has been a Kiwi favourite since 2002, built on a simple idea: freshly prepared food you can make entirely your own, served fast so you can make the most of your day.
The Katsubi bowl is the heart of it all. Every bowl starts with a base — the iconic red rice or noodles — and from there it is yours to build and customise exactly the way you like. The brand cares about quality, customisability and fast service, and it shows: fresh ingredients prepared daily, orders made to your spec, and food in hand without a long wait.
If you are new to Katsubi, the classic move is a red rice bowl. That signature red rice has been part of the Katsubi identity for over two decades, and it is the base most regulars build on. Prefer noodles? Swap your base and enjoy the same build-your-own freedom in a different form.
Alongside the bowls, the menu includes tasty snacks — crispy fried chicken being the standout — that round out a meal or stand on their own when you want something quick and satisfying. Whether you are in for a workday lunch or picking up an easy dinner for the family, the philosophy stays the same: keep it simple, with fresh, healthy, tasty food that hits the spot every day of the week.
Katsubi is not just for solo lunches. Through K-atering, the brand offers build-your-own Katsubi bowl catering for groups starting from 10 people and scaling beyond 100. With more than 20 years of experience serving local and beyond Kiwi businesses across New Zealand, Katsubi has become a popular and trusted catering provider — a handy option for office lunches, events and workplace shout-outs around Christchurch.
The Spitfire Square store supports online ordering through the Katsubi website, and there is a dedicated Katsubi app on both the App Store and Google Play for regulars who want their usual bowl a few taps away. That convenience-first mindset runs through everything Katsubi does, from fast counter service to digital ordering.
Katsubi has grown into a nationwide favourite, proudly serving New Zealand and innovating since 2002, and it continues to expand through franchise partnerships. The Spitfire Square store is the local expression of that story: a neighbourhood stop in Harewood where the same bowls, snacks and customisation are on offer for Christchurch locals, airport-area workers and anyone passing along Memorial Avenue.
Expect a straightforward, friendly fast-casual visit. You order at the counter or online, watch your bowl come together, and walk away with food that is freshly prepared rather than sitting around — the brand's #fresh #healthy #tasty ethos in practice. It works equally well for a solo lunch break, a family dinner pickup, or a large catering order for the office.
