Not sure why this place has such rave reviews. Maybe I came on an off night? I ordered the Portobello Katsu Burger with regular Fries. The burger was almost inedible. The breaded and fried portobello was soggy and had an odd flavor. I then removed the mushroom, so that I could salvage the sandwich and eat just the toppings, but it seems to not be the best type of bun to hold up against such substantial and heavy fillings. The fries were nice and crispy but had little flavor. They do have free tap water, which is always a plus. read more

Cutest little spot that opened up in the neighborhood! Every time I walk by the place it's always packed and today was the day I finally gave it a try. So delicious! Worth the hype. You can order directly from them on their square website and pick up was super easy. I got it right on time. The people working there are super friendly too. I got the pork katsu burger with miso sauce, French fries and hojicha latte. I think this might be my first time having a katsu burger and Chef Katsu hit it out of the park. The total for everything was about $20 because I decided to treat myself a delicious hojicha latte. I will definitely be coming back to try other items on the menu. read more

Love the food. Would give more stars but every time we try to order they are closed. Hours are weirdly limited. Says they are open on Yelp but Seamless says they're closed. Confusing and annoying. read more

Hard working crew, nice space, well run charmer in Clinton Hill! Enjoyed my warm Portabello Bowl, some delish Shroom, pickled Daikon, Rice and a few Shishitos on a cold Winter night. Throw those peppers on some fire, blister them up and I'll add another 5 Stars! Would definitely recommend. Nice job, Chef Katsu read more

this is one of my go-to spots to order from. everything is good but their katsu curry rice is to die for. i love the pork katsu, but the chicken is delicious as well. if you want extra protein, you can add it for an additional $6 (I tend to find I run out of katsu before rice so I like to add extra protein sometimes). They also have a yummy selection of drinks, like yuzu lemonade and their strawberry latte. i order from here at least once a week, but usually more often. every friend that i've brought here loves it as well. solid spot through and through. read more

Katsu curry was never my favorite dish until I tried it here. It's incredible. I've also tried everything on the menu and can't choose a favorite because it's all so good. Good tea too. The service is fast. Be sure to tip well! read more

Cute neighborhood spot with super fast service and delicious bowls. I wish there was a bit more rice that came with it. But the chicken was tasty and soft. Love the menu and friendly service read more

pork Katsu very very dry, more like fried pork jerky, also didn't come with curry. So it's just dry sad pork with plain rice no flavors. Fries not crispy, not fully cook, more like softened or warmed up from freezer.... Sad Katsu burger with miso sauce, miso overly sweet, flavors are off. read more

I didn't like my meal. So I ordered the chicken katsu burger with cheese & fries with an Arnold Palmer of the barley tea & yuzu lemonade. I'm a fries lover & the fries were cooked too long, too much of a crunch. The burger looked like it was cooked too long as well or it could have been the breading. I added cheese but that was a wasted $1 because I never tasted it, the curry sauce overpowered the whole sandwich. The greenery on top of the sandwich served no purpose. The lemonade iced tea was not good. Barley tea does have a specific taste & I think the addition of the lemonade made it more bitter. read more

This has been a happening katsu spot since it opened up. Walking past the restaurant a few times and seeing it totally packed each time I knew I had to try it! Chef Katsu takes a spin at various katsu options although traditionally done just with pork- there is chicken, salmon & portobello mushroom options. The sandwich is considered a "burger" on soft milk buns. There is room for seating inside and outside but take out is also a popular option. Some of the sides include fries and rice balls. The chicken katsu burger had a rich curry sauce on top with shredded lettuce and I added cheddar cheese. This yummy sandwich cost me a cool $10- pretty good for a quality chicken sandwich with curry on it!! I definitely will go back to try the bowls they look delicious. read more

Wow!!! Stopped by this past weekend and tried the pork miso katsu burger and portobello katsu burger with a strawberry matcha latte to wash it all down. A perfect Saturday lunch. The best katsu I've had in a very long time, amazing sauce and the perfect bun. Excited to try more of their menu! read more

Portions are small but the food is light and tasty for katsu. Would recommend the yuzu lemonade and the pork katsu bowl

Wow feeling honored to be the first post! CKB is so cute - the owners, a husband and wife team, funded the place on Kickstarter! Stopped by for the soft opening - wish I took photos but I was way to excited to eat! I had the pork katsu burger - so delicious. Perfectly crispy (not greasy!) pork, great flavorful toppings, solid bun. I got the grilled rice ball as a side which was super yummy and a nice alternative if you're not feeling fries. My friend loved the pork katsu bowl. Make sure you get a tea or latte to top it off! Hojicha is my favorite. The restaurant itself has such a lovely calming atmosphere - lots of plants and everyone working there is very sweet and friendly. So glad this place opened up in the neighborhood. Can't wait to come back! read more

The katsu curry burger here is a serious winner. Absolutely delicious, would highly recommend you come try this place.

I was was walking past and smelled someone's food, that was sitting outside and doubled back. I ordered the Chicken Katsu Burger with the curry sauce, to-go; DELICIOUS!! Definitely will go back to try more of the menu!! read more

Holy what. This place is insanely delicious. Husband and I got takeout salmon bowl and the pork miso sandwich and oh my god even 30 minutes after picking it up it was so freaking good. Truly don't know what they put in that miso sauce but it is insane. We will be back. read more

This place is DELICIOUS! I had the pork katsu bowl and my husband got the chicken sandwich. Both were fantastic but the curry sauce on the chicken was absolutely incredible! I'm going to be daydreaming about it until I can have it again. They were pretty slammed during the soft opening weekend (good sign for a new business!) but had great service and were so nice about any delays. I am thrilled to have them in the neighborhood and can't wait to go back! read more

You know the food is good when you're thinking about the next time you can have it again WHILE you're eating! This was my experience today when I visited Chef Katsu for the first time. I had the portobello truffle katsu sandwich, pork and miso sauce katsu sandwich, and salmon and ikura bowl. The bread on the katsu sandwiches tasted like milk bread (unsure if it was?)... slightly sweet, soft, and just pure deliciousness! The bowl was delish as well! Perfect umami flavor all around. I was very sad that the yuzu cheesecakes were sold out! I was looking forward to it. Hopefully next time! Will say that the sandwiches alone aren't filling enough so better to get a few dishes than one, in my opinion. Overall, it was very good comfort Japanese food. I'm very lucky I live nearby so I can have the katsu sandwiches again. There's also a nice playground across the street if you want to eat outside. read more

Came here with a friend for an early dinner and got the pork katsu sandwich and the matcha ice cream bun. The sandwich was super good. It had very balanced flavors and was not heavy at all. The pork wasn't dry and it was a good ratio to the bun. My only thing is that it's a bit messy but would t expect anything less. The ice cream was good too but I think the bun was a bit too much. I will definitely be back to try their drinks! The service was good and the staff was friendly as well. You can tell they really care about their customers! read more

This was probably one of the best katsu bowls I've had. The katsu was extremely crispy and crackly that even when moist with the curry remained crunchy. Curry was pretty standard japanese curry flavor but I'm not complaining at all - the star was definitely the katsu and would definitely come back. read more

I tried the mushroom katsu burger and it was delicious and great value. All staff were really friendly, will definitely be back! Excited I have another amazing place in the neighborhood! read more

Great katsu sandwiches - we got the pork. Limited seating but we managed to snag a table inside on a Saturday for lunch. Ordered some drinks but we all were too full for dessert. Would come back! read more

I used to order pork katsu buger and bowl. It was really good meat is moisture well outside is very crispy.(I used get by delivery) The packing was so neat too. By the way today I ordered seafood soup. The result was not disappointing First It was too sweet. Second, I tasted flour: which means roux wasn't good. maybe flour cooked Not enough. Even though seafood was fresh! But I don't want to try again read more

Chicken katsu curry burger with cheese! Sooo good! The chicken katsu was crispy and crunchy served with thinly sliced slaw on a soft bun. I would've taken a picture but I was so hungry, I gobbled it up! Yuzu mint lemonade was also good but a bit too much sugar. My daughter loved the pork katsu burger with miso sauce! read more

Amazing food. Always fresh. Owners and staff are so kind. The chicken katsu is my most favorite.

Food was good for the price. Seating is very limited. Must come when they open or expect long waits.

Super tasty new spot in the neighborhood - we enjoyed the pork katsu bowl, salmon teriyaki bowl, and the mini yuzu lemonade. All very tasty and came out in good time. We enjoyed it outside on their little patio area, made up of about 3-4 tables of various sizes. The food itself is simple and fresh. I'll say that while I enjoyed its simplicity, it didn't have the over-the-top, 'wow', 'cant stop thinking about this', 'need to return immediately' quality that I think merits a 5-star review. That said, it's a great spot for a good, clean, tasty lunch, and if I'm in the mood for that again I'd definitely return. Would like to sample more of their menu soon. Recommend! read more

Love this place, great lunch spot. Katsu burger is always on point. I always vow to try something different but I can't resist it.

Chicken Katie Curry Rice Bowl was flavorful, hot, and full of perfect bites. The hot lemonade was great for a cold evening. Super intimate space. read more

So good. Always friendly and delicious food. Definitely recommend the katsu burger and some of the best fries.

The level of detail and care they put into their food from the fresh pickled veggies and freaking beautiful shiso leaves with the main entree (I got pork katsu bowl(s, since I've ordered pickup here many times) and the spicy af shishito peppers- these guys are legit. Their drinks are so good and refreshing (get their yuzu lemonade/barley tea Arnold Palmer!). I hope they stay in this neighborhood for a long long time. read more

Service TERRIBLE. Do not treat you like Customers if you are not their own. Made me wait 15 minutes for a Water which i had to pay $2.18 for. Dope Restaurant. If you are dying for water just die. It's prob easier and efficient. Saw their delivery bikes fall on cars parked on street. Acted like nothing happened. Picked their bikes up and left a majorrr thiccc scratch on a white Toyota Camry. Their Dining Room is full of their own friends and family which is cute and nice but the real customers are left to shiver outside and beg for water. What a day. What an experience. read more

Go to lunch spot - it's really consistently good. I get the salmon bowl which is great. The desserts are also really delicious and the vibe there and service is really solid. Worth a visit! read more

Spent $50+ on lunch here and they wouldn't give me a cup of water for my 2 year old daughter on a 90 degree today. Instead, they insisted that I had to buy a bottle of water. Shame on you, Chef Katsu, for not being decent human beings. I want to support local, POC-owned business as much as possible but will not be returning because of your immoral, greedy ways. read more

Absolutely delicious. Tastes like the chef spend a lifetime perfecting this. Chicken Katsu burger and cold corn soup. Bravo

The food is good but not much space to sit: Good pricing and the drinks and food is well presented and a good place to stop grab and go. Not many tables and we had to sit outside right next to where there was a lot of trash near the side of the road but you can tell that the restaurant does try to keep the surroundings clean and nice but there are limitations because of the space restrictions. read more

GUYS this place is soooo freaking good!! What a hidden gem in Clinton hill. I came here with my boyfriend on Valentine's Day and it was such a great meal. The inside is really clean and bright although not that big and there's a few tables both on the inside and the canopied outside part. It was simple but cute in there. They have both burgers and rice bowls but they specialize in pork katsu (which is just Japanese fried pork)!!! The lady at the cash register recommended getting that with cheese. She was really kind and communicative so good service here as well! In the moment I wasn't really in the mood to eat something fried so I got the salmon teriyaki burger! I really liked the condiments on it and the bun was toasted just right. Everything together was a delicious explosion in my mouth. My boyfriend got the curry pork katsu burger and that was really yummy too! The curry complimented the pork really nicely. The sandwiches were both super fairly priced at ~10 dollars each! We both loved our food. For dessert we got the matcha red bean donut which tasted like exactly how it sounds like. The donut was really soft and yummy. Overall I can not wait to come back and bring friends! read more

Judging by the number of people with expectant expressions milling around the entrance, this place did a thriving take out business even though they have a handful of indoor & outdoor tables; self serve, it seemed. Behind the open kitchen was a family team hard at work. Both of our orders: the katsu curry and chicken teriyaki bowls tasted flavorful and nicely presented with colorful sliced radishes and shishito pepper. The iced yusu lemonade was tart and refreshing. read more
