My coworkers suggested getting lunch from Amazing Katsu, which surprisingly most of us have never tried before. So, my coworker doordashed our orders. NOTE: Takeout only. Pork Tenderloin Katsu: Juicy & tender pork tenderloin, breaded & fried to perfection. Served with rice, cabbage salad, & miso soup. I'll order from them again. Support your local business.
It was difficult to find this place at first, it's located inside the Elite center and has no seating inside -- seems more like a grab and go, takeout kind of place. However, the food was delicious and of great value! I got the chicken katsu, and it was crispy and delicious. It came out very quickly, and also came with miso soup as well as a variety of sauces. Would definitely come here again to try out the other dishes!
Good portion sizes you simply order online and can pick up within the banquet hall building. Chicken Katsu, although was a bit dry I liked it pairing with the side salad vinaigrette sauce, and also liked how they gave you a generous portion of cabbage to eat with it. I will have to come back next time to try the cheese Katsu. The pork Katsu is definitely juicier and not as dry inside compared to the chicken Katsu overall, the breading for both the pork tenderloin and chicken is nice and crispy made to order
This place is inside the Elite Event Center, so I would recommend placing an online order, they make everything to order so it will take some time. It took them about 20 minutes to prepare my order and around 5 - 8 minutes for when I arrived and waited. We got the Signature Combo Katsu, it included Pork Katsu, Loin Katsu, & Ebi!: this was super delicious everything was meaty and not heavily breaded. This also came with miso soup which was pretty average but super awesome it came with it. We also got curry sauce which made everything else taste super good along with the regular katsu sauces. It came with 2 scoops of rice and plentiful salad. We also got the Dubai chocolate chewy cookie, didn't picture it because my girlfriend and I ate it so quickly since it was super good. This place is great, I hope it becomes a restaurant so we can sit down and eat!
I think this spot offers the best katsu in the game. They have this unique flakey fry and crust they do which is unmatched. The shrimp/ebi is superb. The chicken, pork loin, and pork tenderloin are all really good. Chicken has the best value. I order from DoorDash and every few orders I get a $10 reward credit from the Restaurant which is nice. Ghost kitchen. The Katsus also come with rice, greens, sauce, and miso soup.
I tried Amazing Katsu when they had their Groupon deal awhile back. It was a good deal back when they first opened, but unfortunately they don't have it anymore. Prices are a bit high, but the portions were decent and the pork katsu was extremely crunchy, even though they focus on takeout. Too bad they are only open during weekdays, as I would love to try them more.
My fiance said this was some of the best katsu curry he has ever had, so I agreed to pick up an order on the way home. It is located inside an event center, so it's a bit confusing. Just walk inside and you'll see it. There is no seating available, so you have to take your order to go. My fiance placed the order at 6 and it had an estimated pick-up time of 6:10-6:15. Unfortunately, it took an extra 15 minutes for my order to be ready. The woman working the counter was running back and forth to the kitchen the whole time I waited. She didn't acknowledge anyone and would only look for an order if she was asked about it. Most of the time, she would disappear for 5 minutes and come back with a different order. There were about 5 groups waiting when I first got there, which then grew to 10. One couple told me that they had been waiting 40 minutes for an order they placed in person. The biggest frustration was that one doordash driver cut the line and kept pestering the workers for his order. I understand he wanted to make his delivery, but there were so many other people waiting too. This kinda made me upset. At the 15 minute mark, a young guy clocked in and told everyone he would try and figure out the delay. He came back with my order within 2 minutes. He was super apologetic and double checked that my order had everything. With all that being said, the food was delicious. We ordered the takoyaki, pork katsu curry, and the shrimp katsu curry. The curry was flavorful and topped with pickled scallions, pickled radish, and green onions to balance the dish. The shrimp and pork were cooked perfectly with a light crispy exterior. The takoyaki was a little too doughy for me, but still had great flavor. My only complaint is that you only get two shrimp in the katsu curry, but they are sooo good. I will definitely be back. For anyone considering trying this place, be ready to wait, but know it's worth it!
Friday lunch adventure led me to amazing Katsu in Santa Clara. They operate out of a shared kitchen because the pick up location was inside an events center. The place was a completely empty ball room and the pick up counter was the far back wall of the place. Picked up by name, no verification needed. The food was packed well, they even cut a hole into one of the containers to release steam. I ordered the katsu plate with rice and cabbage salad, a chicken katsu curry, and a katsu cheese. The food had good presentation and looked good and that was it. I love Japanese style curry and usually curry dishes would be swimming in the curry sauce. The chicken katsu curry barely had any curry in the serving which was really disappointing. They should have boxed the curry on the side too so that it doesn't make the rice soggy. The chicken katsu was inconsistent, one piece was so dry and another piece was fine. Like did I get a bowl of whatever leftover pieces of chicken lying around? The katsu cheese appetizer is pork deep fried with melted cheese in the center. The melted cheese couldn't save it, the meat was super dry and the bread coating didn't help make it any better. Super disappointing. The tonkatsu plate was a little better than the rest. But also dry pieces of pork with more of the loose somewhat crispy bread coating. I don't know what they do to the bread coating but it just is lacking. Maybe it's the communal kitchen situation and they're trying to figure out how to use equipment but I don't think I would order here again. Try another location maybe.
Amazing katsu that's on par with those found in Japan! Unlike many katsu places where they use fattier cuts of pork in order to get a more tender texture, Amazing Katsu uses comparatively leaner cuts but is still able to get a very tender texture. The exterior retains its crispiness despite the fact that you need to take it home with you as there's no seating at the ghost kitchen. The portion sizes are good but not too large, but the cuts of meat are generous. We loved both the Tenderloin Curry Katsu and the Pork Loin Katsu. The tenderloin cuts were much more tender, but the firmness of the pork loin nicely contrasts against the crunchy exterior. It took around 40ish minutes to get the order ready on a busy day.
I was convinced to try Amazing Katsu after seeing photos and high marks on Uber Eats. After much deliberation I chose the Pork Tenderloin Katsu Deluxe Set. I came away pretty impressed. IMO, the Katsu in Japan is the holy grail. But the Katsu here definitely holds its own. Props to them for the ingenious packaging on my Uber Eats Order. Some cut out vents were made in the container as to maintain the crispy exterior. Pork was flavorful, juicy and the Katsu breading was delicious and hallmark of a great katsu. The katsu sauce was excellent as well and none of the "mid" quality from the Hawaiian restaurant chains around here. I need to try this place in person to give it the full experience. The takoyaki was decent but nothing to write home about. Pork Katsu Set: 4.4/5 Takoyaki: 2.8/5
Yay ! Guess I don't need to travel all the way to Japan for my katsu cravings . Let's face it . Japan is considered one of the food mecca's in the culinary scene. All of the food I had there was mindblowing. One random weekday Husbie asked me what I wanted to eat , I said some chicken katsu!! Thankfully stumbled upon this restaurant on the search bar . The photos looked legit . I usually judge most restaurants by the pictures of the food & the chicken katsu was calling my name. Placed a to go order since this establishment only offers takeout. For firstimers like myself , make sure you go into the building with the huge sign that says ELITE EVENT CENTER . Walk inside & Amazing Katsu will be located in there. We decided to go nearby to a park to eat. Honestly, I wasn't expecting much since the last time I had katsu was in Japan & I usually never crave katsu . Pregnany is weird . All the foods you love , you have to throw out the door with crazy food aversions . Next moment , you're craving some random food you never would eat. The baby wants what it wants. Ordered the chicken katsu deluxe set . $24 Comes with double the chicken , rice , salad & 1 miso soup . When I took a bite of the Katsu it was perfectly crisp , light & the chicken was so tender and juicy & super flavorful. It was amazing !! I loved the cabbage with the light sauce ! it went great to break up the fried food with a light salad . The rice was also really good ! This place was so good I went back again the next week . It tasted just as amazing as the first time. Got the same order but added the fried shrimp tempura !! Holy moly. It was probably one of the best fried shrimps . I really loved the tartar sauce that went with it . Perfection. So happy I found this place !! It's one of my go to's now when I'm having my cravings =D
Amazing Katsu is located within a shared event center amongst other ghost kitchens, so it was a little difficult to locate. Be warned, it is a delivery/takeout-only spot (no indoor seating). My friend and I ordered online for pickup; service was quick, got the food in 15 minutes. No ambiance to rate haha. We got the pork loin and tenderloin katsu sets. They cut a hole in the box to keep the katsus crispy which was a plus! The katsu breading was pretty light and crispy, and the meat was juicy! Really liked how thick and tender each piece was, I feel like it's hard to find katsu in South Bay that has both qualities. For $20 a set, it's above average in terms of price for katsu, but the quality is there and was totally worth it. Overall would come back again! Tip: If the weather is good, order takeout and drive 5 minutes to Central Park, plenty of benches and seating!

Great pork loin katsu Really solid katsu spot in Santa Clara. The pork loin katsu was high quality--crispy, juicy, cooked perfectly. Definitely coming back for more. read more
I was surprised to find out that it was a ghost kitchen since the food tasted so good. With that being said, there's nothing in terms of ambiance or service since it's delivery-only. I got the takoyaki, cheese katsu, and pork loin curry don. Takoyaki was pretty filling, crispy, and had a decent amount of octopus bits. The sauce provided good flavor. Cheese katsu looked exactly like the photos. It was super gooey and cheese but still balanced well with the meat. Pork loin for the curry don was cooked perfectly and was super crispy while not being dry. The curry itself was well seasoned but the rice was a bit mushy. But I think this rice style is more typical with Japanese curries so I'll let it slide. My only complaint would be the price so it's a bit pricy for the portions but I think the deluxe sets definitely seem like the move if you want more bang for your buck. With that being said, I would 100% be willing to go back and try the other dishes as well. It's difficult to find a katsu place that knows how to consistently cook katsu well without drying it out read more

Nothing amazing about their Katsu. They don't provide enough sauces that goes with a typical Katsu, so its just plain. The pork is still juicy though. Their miso soup tasted plain, so I threw it away read more

It was a calm Tuesday afternoon. My partner and I decided we wanted a calm day at home so we ordered food from this restaurant to go. This restaurant is actually just a ghost kitchen operating out of an event center, but I really hope they open up their own brick and mortar, cause the food was awesome. We ordered one of their combo plates that came with pork katsu, pork tenderloin, and ebi katsu. We also ordered the cheese katsu on top of that. Everything was so good. The panko breading was really light and crunchy and the pork was all very tender. The sauces were also awesome and everything really balanced out. I also love the addition of the hot mustard as it really helps cut the richness of each dish. Though the food was a bit expensive overall when including tax and tip, it was definitely some of the best katsu I have had in the bay. read more
The crisp on these is amazing though the actual taste of the meat isn't as savory as I expected. I'm not sure why but I thought the tofu would be the firm kind, seasoned and fried before being fried with breading for katsu) but it's really soft and just plain tofu. For the meat combo, the pork tenderloin is a tad hard/chewy and the chicken katsu is a bit dry (which is understandable if breast meat) but the pork loin katsu was the juiciest and didn't get soggy at the bottom due to the hole in the lid above it and crisp breading pieces spread beneath it. The meat combo comes with more pieces than what's shown on the online menu - 4 tenderloin coins, around 6 chicken katsu pieces, but then something like 10 long pork katsu pieces. The curry is delicious - highly recommend that. It's housemade and maybe a tiny bit sweeter than the popular S&B curry. read more
It's Amazing Katsu!.. or is it? It was pretty good, so I'd probably drop by again if I'm in the area. Arriving at the GPS location, you won't find signage for Amazing Katsu anywhere, so just head into Elite Event Center where it's a wedding venue/event center with three random ghost kitchens with counters in the back. There is no dine-in at all, even though there are tables and chairs. You'll have to eat at home or in your car. I got a decent deal on Groupon to try this place. Originally, they offered two different katsu options, but they discontinued one of the items, and instead offered soboro as a replacement. I didn't want the soboro don, so I asked if I could just pay extra for the pork option, or literally any other dish. Even a side that cost less than the chicken katsu option. For some reason that defies me, they wouldn't do that and said it was the system's fault instead of their own laziness and incompetence. So I was locked in to ordering two chicken katsu. They cut a hole in the takeout box so the breading doesn't get soggy. The sets come with katsu sauce, cabbage, rice, and miso soup. The box comes with containers of wasabi, sweet, sour, and goopy katsu sauce, and some soy dressing for the cabbage. The rice quality is good, though it was slightly dried out and hardened at the top. The katsu was a tad smaller than I desired, but it had a premium crisp and quality tender chicken meat. I'm not really sure what the wasabi was for, but I mixed it in my rice and had fun sniffles throughout the meal. The miso soup was actually great to wash everything down. I do recommend somehow getting an order in advance because it takes almost half an hour for them to make your order, since they fry everything fresh. It was definitely solid, almost amazing katsu, which is nice to have in the bay. read more

The name is Amazing Katsu. What more is needed to be said? They definitely lived up to the hype of the name and the food was DELICIOUS. [[ Location ]] Out of all the things, I think the location is a bit weird. There is no actual name of the store on the building so you might be confused when you get there but I promise you, the GPS has led you to the right place. Head for the Elite Event Center sign and there will be 3 stores (including Amazing Katsu) inside. Remember this is a TO-GO place. There is no place to eat inside so please make sure you remember that. [[ Service ]] Since I wanted to make sure I didn't have to wait for them to make it, I decided to order ahead and have a designated pickup time which was in 15-minute windows. I chose the 2:15pm to 2:30pm time frame and the food was ready at exactly 2:16pm. Talk about prompt service. Sometimes there is no one at the register because he is going to the backroom to fetch orders but they will be back. [[ Food ]] It was DIVINE even though it still took me 30 minutes to get home after picking it up. The portion sizes were large for the price and the meat were so tender on the inside and crunchy on the outside. The rice was soft, cabbage a nice touch, and the Miso soup was surprisingly tasty as well. They give you 2 sauces and wasabi I believe and they are GENEROUS. I had a lot of leftover sauce afterwards even though I dipped it a lot of the time. [[ Conclusion ]] I can't wait to go back when I have the time. Super delicious and highly recommended from me. read more

Yay thanks so much for trying our katsu, Steven! So glad it was still…
In an attempt to try new restaurants, my boyfriend found this relatively new katsu spot and wanted to try it. We came over one Fri night, and I kinda wished we looked more closely at the reviews before coming over. First off, there's no official storefront. It is inside the event center - we only realized this when we saw a signboard when driving by the event center. On the plus side, there's plenty of parking available because it's a big plaza area. Second, it's takeout only. Don't come here expecting to dine in, as we foolishly did! Realizing this, we placed an order online in the car to bring back home. The pickup was fast once we got a notification our food was ready. He ordered the Chicken Katsu and I got the Pork Loin Katsu Curry Don. Their breading is the best I've ever had for katsu!! I really appreciated that for the Chicken Katsu, they cut a hole at the top of the box so the condensation doesn't build up and cause the fried breading to get soggy. It allowed the food to remain incredibly crisp even during the ride back home. The Curry Don was incredibly savory and rich, and complimented the pork loin katsu. I ended up liking my boyfriend's Chicken Kastu slightly better because of how tender the chicken was underneath all the breading, but you can't go wrong with either! Pricing isn't terrible too - $17 for the Chicken Katsu and $18 for the Pork Loin Curry Don. You definitely feel full and content after all that food! read more

Thank you for the thoughtful review and giving our katsu a try, Mary!…
Found this place via Yelp - else you'd never find it except online - hidden inside a half abandoned strip mall inside the "Elite Event Center". Only serving takeout with no tables or anyplace to sit or eat at this time. You can walk in and order (will take about 15 minutes) or call ahead or use Doordash etc. - food was excellent! Crispy katsu I tried the pork, chicken via meat lovers combo. Check them out! read more

One of the best-value katsu spots I've found in the South Bay. The Signature Combo was a great deal with thick-cut pork katsu, shrimp tempura, rice, and salad. The pork was crispy, juicy, and easily the highlight of the meal. The Cheese Katsu had a great cheese pull and tasted even better after a quick reheat in the air fryer. The Takoyaki was also good, with real octopus in every piece. Everything was fresh, portions were generous, and most dishes were under $20. Pickup only, but definitely worth trying if you're craving Japanese katsu. read more
First of all, the restaurant is a bit hard to find as there is no big signs or anything. It is actually in the shared space within the Elite Event Center with a few other businesses. Since there is not really seating so I ordered a pork tenderloin katsu bento box to go. The price is $20 but you can see from the picture that the portion is a little underwhelming. The service is also a bit slow (took over 20 minutes) but maybe due to the order to cook for each. On the positive side, the katsu taste great and the meat is tender and juicy. At the end of the day, it would be better if they could up the portion. read more

Hi Fei, thanks for trying our katsu and leaving a review. As you…
This place is a hidden gem, serving truly amazing katsu! It's rare to find a katsu specialty spot in the Bay Area, so I'm thrilled to have discovered my new go-to. Keep in mind, this is a pick-up-only location with no dine-in options. While it's a bit disappointing--since katsu is best enjoyed fresh and hot--I can only imagine how incredible it would taste straight from the kitchen. Hopefully, they'll offer dine-in one day! I tried the Ebi Tempura, which came with tartar sauce, and it did not disappoint. The shrimp were huge, incredibly soft, with no sign of any chewiness! The batter was light, crispy, and fried to perfection. The Cheese Katsu is another hit! The gooey mozzarella cheese is wrapped in a thin layer of pork all coated in a light & flaky batter. The katsu sauce is tangy and savory, a perfect compliment to the dish. The service was warm and friendly, and I'll definitely be coming back whenever I'm craving katsu! read more

Hi Quynh! Thanks for such a sweet review and trying our food :’) We’d…
Amazing Katsu is a fun, pop-up style restaurant located in the Santa Clara Elite Event Center specializing in different styles of katsu. I was first introduced by attending a Yelp Elite event and was very impressed. Been back a few times since, primarily ordering the pork katsu or chicken katsu. The meal comes with miso soup, rice, katsu of your choice, potato salad and shredded cabbage salad. The katsu is always melt in your mouth tender and crispy and the sides are fresh and pair very well. My only small complaint is that the wait is usually pretty long, usually between 20 minutes to almost an hour. I highly recommend ordering ahead over the phone before heading over to pick up your food. read more

Hi Claire! Thanks so much for leaving a review and having our food!!…
The katsu here is amazing indeed. Take-out only restaurant (pick-up or delivery). I ordered online for take-out around noon on a Friday and it was ready in ~20 mins. I got the pork loin katsu which came with rice, shredded cabbage, miso soup, katsu sauce, wasabi, and sauce for the cabbage. Miso soup was piping hot which was great! Katsu sauce was cold/refrigerated and I think I'd prefer if it were room temperature. The pork loin katsu itself was phenomenal. The batter was one of the flakiest I've had - super light with soft crunch. At first I thought 5 pieces of katsu wouldn't be enough but it ended up being very filling. The katsu was so good that I felt like it didn't even need the katsu sauce. Rice had sticky texture which I personally love. Would definitely come back in the future! I want to try the cheese katsu next time :) read more
Never tried a specialty katsu place, so I knew I had to try it. This restaurant is inside a food hall that looks like it used to be a banquet hall. They serves different a of katsus. Signature amazing katsu (3/5): This one caught be eye because I've never seen a katsu dish like this. It's pork filled with cheese and spices. Howeve I thought it was just too much different flavors that it hid the flavors of the katsu. In addition I thought the cheeses and pepper took took space from the pork in the katsu. This comes with rice and potato salad as well. read more

I had the food DoorDashed to a hotel I was staying at. I ordered the meat lovers combo and shared it with a friend and it was amazing! The batter outside was light & crispy and flavorful but my friend was obsessed with the cabbage salad read more

Craving some Japanese curry and katsu on this chilly Wednesday night, I hopped on DoorDash and found this spot with a ton of great reviews. Well... my experience landed somewhere between "maybe it was an off night" and a solid "meh." I ordered the cheese katsu and the pork loin curry don. Everyone seemed to rave about the cheese katsu, so I figured, why not? I'll give them this: the crunch game here is elite. The katsu came out sounding like it had its own ASMR channel--crispy, loud, and honestly impressive. But beyond the crunch? Not much going on. The cheese gave a decent stretch, but the pork and batter were seriously lacking seasoning. The pork was a little dry, and the cheese... well, it was just melted mozzarella living its best, most average life. The pork loin curry don was more of the same: A+ for crunch, C- for flavor. And the curry? Oof. Sweet aftertaste and basically the doppelgänger of those Golden Curry blocks you grab at the Asian market when you're too tired to cook anything fancy. The curry don was a miss -- I wouldn't recommend it. Overall, pretty disappointing. The katsu had a great crunch, but flavor-wise, it just didn't deliver. Sadly, I won't be returning anytime soon. read more

I don't eat pork. Is there a chicken katsu on the menu or any non-pork protein?
Hi there, we have Ebi (Shrimp) katsu on the menu currently, as well as two Udon options that do not have pork. We plan to launch Chicken Katsu in the coming weeks as well~
