The katsu is very crispy but doesn't taste overly breaded. The burger was very tasty and the fries are also better than average. The curry was not bad. Overall for a fast food experience it is better than average. If you are craving a katsu sando, it will hit the spot.
A Must-Try Spot for Katsu Lovers! Katsuyaki exceeded all expectations! From the moment we walked in, the staff was incredibly welcoming and friendly, making us feel right at home. The seating area was spotless, adding to the overall great experience. Now, let’s talk about the food—absolutely phenomenal! I ordered the combo plate with beef bulgogi and katsu chicken, along with a side of Japanese curry. Hands down, the best katsu I’ve ever had—crispy, tender, and perfectly juicy. The beef bulgogi was just as impressive—tender, flavorful, and cooked to perfection. And that Japanese curry? A game-changer! It was the perfect addition, especially on a rainy day. I loved dipping the chicken in it and pouring it over my rice for an extra burst of flavor. This place is a gem, and we’ll definitely be back to try more of the menu. If you haven’t been to Katsuyaki yet, do yourself a favor and go—you won’t regret it!
The chicken katsu was absolutely delicious, with perfectly crispy chicken and an incredible curry sauce! The warm and friendly service made the whole experience fantastic.
Their chicken Katsu burger absolutely slaps. Tempura’d to a beautiful crisp. And for such a good price. The burger is double sauced and with a yummy coleslaw. Fries solid too
This is such a gem. The food is awesome, very well priced, and they have outstanding service. I got the bento with chicken teriyaki and chicken katsu. It's delicious and so generous. Excellent quality and flavor. Cheaper and better than more nearby options. I can't believe all the food you get. I'm happy to say that l will become a regular. I hope you get to enjoy their delicious food too!
