    Original Katsu Sandwich W/ Side
    Sid D.

    Stopped by for a quick lunch. It's located in the shopping complex where parking gets tricky. Service was quick and we ordered food at the counter via kiosk before we sat down. Sando was good, well prepared and tasted great. Curry plate was good as well. Flavors for both dishes were good. We ordered mild just in case not knowing the spice level. Once you order you cannot ask for spice on the side but they had other hot sauce. Overall it was a good place to get quick lunch on a weekday!

    Excellent Katsu Curry. Their curry is about the best I've had, with different levels of spicy heat offered. Some Japanese curries get a bit sweet, which I don't like. This is rich and savory. The katsu breading is very good, and the macaroni is terrific. Minuses: the order screen is a real pain. And the LOUD STUPID HOUSE MUSIC AND HIPHOP is totally inappropriate for a dining establishment. We aren't all 14 yr old girls. 5 Stars for food. Minus 2 for very irritating music. Very bad business decision to have this LOUD garbage.

    I've passed by this place a couple times and seeing how there's always people inside ordering I decided to try it myself. Ordered the katsu sando and the egg salad sando. Both were delicious in their own way. The egg salad sando was fresh and very well seasoned with dill. The katsu sando was warm and crunchy, very satisfying to bite into. Each were a great portion on its own. Enjoyed both very much.

    Curry Katsu Plate

    Kind Employees and Curry Katsu Plate!! I got the Curry Katsu Plate and the Sausage Rice Cake. The Curry Katsu Plate came with Katsu (I chose pork), Macaroni Salad, Salad, Salad Dressing, Rice, and Curry. The Katsu, Curry, and Rice tasted great! The Macaroni Salad was the type of Macaroni Salad that came with bits of cabbage (I'm not sure if it's cabbage, but it just came with some sort of vegetable). It's not the typical Macaroni Salad you get at K-BBQ restaurants. The Salad and Salad Dressing was good, it was just Arugula salad. The Curry Katsu Plate comes in a flimsy tray. You can't really take it out of the box without the tray automatically dipping due to the weight of the food items. It's kind of inconvenient to eat out of if you wanted to get rid of the box. I just ripped the top part of the box and ate as is. The Sausage Rice Cake looked good from the photo on the menu. It came in a pretty small cup for $10, but I was willing to excuse it if the Sausage Rice Cake was good. The Rice Cakes tasted great, the sauce isn't too spicy, and it had the nice crispy texture. The Sausage was just hotdog texture, I thought they would maybe cook the Sausage so that there would be a bit of crisp on the edges. It just had the texture as if you microwaved a hotdog and cut it up and mixed it with the rice cakes. The employees were kind. I didn't really talk to them because I ordered through the self-order screen, but they were happy to give us napkins. The restaurant is very clean, and there's plenty of seating. There's a self-order screen near the register which is nice. Parking can be a bit hectic since there's a ton of businesses in the same plaza, but the walk isn't too bad. I would come here again, I'm curious about some of the menu items, and the food is pretty good.

    Curry Katsu Plate

    I know this is a chain and they're known for their sandwiches--but can we talk about the katsu curry?! Feel like you can't have a good katsu joint without good katsu curry and this place is excellent for that! 4 spice levels. Medium gets the job done for me but no spice is also tasty for the less adventurous. The place is usually a little empty and their self ordering system doesn't match the menu. Still, this place is great for katsu dishes both in restaurant and for delivery. Definitely also recommend the katsu curry udon!

    New Katsu place that recently opened up. You order at the counter on a kiosk. The kiosk was a bit non-user friendly but there was someone behind the counter to figure out where we got ourselves stuck (SIZE even when a drink only comes one size!). After that they bring the food to your table, and served on plates, not plastic. When ordering items with Curry, you have the option of no spice and then levels 1 thru 4. I chose level.1 and it was perfect. My friend chose level 2 and was happy as well. I ordered the Chicken Katsu Curry plate and my friend ordered the Pork. Both were very good with sides of rice, salad, and macaroni. Portions were generous and they have daily specials that are very good deals! Drinks were self serve soda machine. Small place inside but there are tables for 2 or 4 people. There are any tables outside. We arrived when they opened at 11am. No otger patrons yet. There were people coming as we were leaving. Several parties and now a line with that pesky ordering kiosk! Now that I know how to use the kiosk I would come back but it is a bit impersonal and off putting as a first impression. They should also have more than one kiosk.

    Finally -- a katsu specialty spot in SoCal! Tried Kajubar today and it totally hit the spot. They've got katsu rice bowls, udon, sandwiches -- and even my favorite Asian-style egg salad sandwich Also tried the katsu sandwich -- soft, crispy, so good! The beef katsu was fresh and came with macaroni salad. The little one loved it Best part? $11.99 weekday deal and BOGO Thursdays -- great value for busy days when you still want quality comfort food IG : socalhkfoodies

    Since discovering Katsu Bar last year, we've been huge fans of this small chain for their consistency, diverse menu, and of course the affordable prices/deals!!! The Cerritos location is very casual, no frills--the perfect hangout spot for you and your friends! We ordered and got our food super quick! Portions are generous and each of the different types of katsu comes out so crispy and delicious. My favorite has to be the shrimp katsu curry plate and egg sando. Curry has a nice spice to it! And the plate even comes with a small side of salad and rice. We'll always swing by Katsu Bar for a reliable, feel-good meal

    Rosemary Katsu Sando
    Zarifa A.

    I had a katsu sandwich at a food festival a while back and have been craving it since, so saying that I was excited to hear Katsu Bar sold sandwiches is an understatement. I ordered the rosemary katsu sando, which I believe is the most popular sandwich. I thought it was really enjoyable; I loved the contrast of the softness of the bread with the crispness of the chicken. Flavor wise, it was good but I felt like it was missing something...possibly spice? It also came with a side of waffle fries (which in my opinion, are the superior shape of fries) and they were perfectly delicious and crispy. The portion sizes here are pretty good and prices are fair. Service here was pretty limited as you order on a kiosk and seat yourself. The ambiance is casual but clean. It's located in a large plaza that can get busy, so you may have to park further away, but should find a spot in the lot.

    Strawberry sando
    Jason S.

    We went for dinner last week. Thre is a lot of parking available. The restaurant itself is small but charming. And the service was wonderful. We ordered Fountain drinks and love that they have Stubborn Sodas. That is easily my favorite soda brand. We ordered two sandos. We got the iconic egg salad sando. The egg salad is so rich and delicious. The bread perfectly holds this sando together. We also got a Portobello katsu sando. I love Portobello mushrooms and having them deep fried made it even tastier. The arugula salad and balsamic dressing pairs perfectly in this sando. Both sandos are highly recommended to get. For our mains we got a kimchi dumpling curry. A generous portion of kimchi dumplings over rice with curry and three types of salads. You get a macaroni salad, an arugula salad and tsukemono. All of the salads were delicious. The dumplings were crispy on the outside and filled with kimchi on the inside. We also got a katsu curry udon. The udon noodles are cooked perfectly. The katsu is crispy on the outside and the chicken was soft and juicy on the inside. The curry brings it all together. Both of these curry dishes are a must have. We finished with a strawberry sando. A massive sanso filled with fresh strawberries and a subtlety sweet whipped cream. It was amazing and I am already thinking about another one. We had a wonderful dinner and look forward to coming back again soon.

    We were craving katsu and happened to be at Cerritos Mall so we hopped on Yelp for recommendations. Fortunately, this casual, counter service place was right across the street. Our favorite savory dish here is the tteokbokki w/ (pork) katsu which had a slight kick in flavor. I say slight because I have a high tolerance for spicy foods so order at your own discretion.

    I came to this spot during my lunchtime at work after having looked at there menu. I have been craving a katsu sando and it was definitely worth stopping by. The food options look delicious and my food was so! Service was quick and the workers are jovial. While I ordered to go, I wouldn't mind eating there.

    I've heard of katsu bar and seen it recommended to me a couple of times and decided to give it a try. I've been looking for a katsu place and I wasn't disappointed! The prices were amazing for the amount of food you get. Service was great and I would definitely come back!

    It's difficult to decipher the menu. It looks like there are vegetarian options, but they aren't clearly marked. Can someone confirm?

    Yes we do have vegetarian options. When you select your item; sandos, sandwiches, salad, etc. it will prompt you to select your protein choice. We have a portobello katsu for vegetarians. We also have a portobello mushroom katsu sandwich that… 

    I love the concept but the protein isn't specified on the menu. Is the Katsu chicken or pork?

We ordered the Karaage bowl, Chicken Katsu Curry with cheese and the Tonkotsu Ramen. Each dish was more delicious than the last and it was absolutely amazing. The mayo sauce they make for the karaage is a perfect pairing with the sweet and tangy sauce on top of the rice. The curry has beautiful flavoring with a sweetness that balances out with the katsu. The tonkostu was a perfect blend of flavors with lots of veggies and an amazing tasting Chashu. The chashu is sliced and then cooked on the grill to give it that extra crunch which makes it that much more delicious.

It took some time to get our orders out but was not a dealbreaker. Food is exceptional quality. The spicy green curry ramen is so delicious. Tastes like you're actually eating curry in ramen form! The shoyu is my husband's go-to. He loves it here and especially loved my garlic chips on top of my ramen. Adding the chili is a must for spice lovers!

The flavor of the broth was decently strong, not the spiciest I've had but not the weakest. It was quite filling for the both of us and adding the noodles towards the end helped fill up the pot overall. The interior of the restaurant has plenty of seating with booths and tables.
