First time trying Katsu Bar, we absolutely loved it. Even at 11pm this place was bustling with customers and order chimes going off. Despite how busy they were, Michael and Jose gave us great, friendly service. The food was fantastic and comforting, we will definitely be back to try more from the menu! read more

Food: average taste, good for groups. Service: Really slow. 4 stars to the solo super worker! Theres only one person fulfilling orders (cooking , drinks, customer service). Come full and you will be hungry by the time you get your food. Experience: I do like the self order and self serve concept. Reasonable pricing for food read more

My husband has been seeing this on his for you page so we went and gave it try. We got lucky with street parking right in front. We went a little after they just opened so it wasn't crowded. There were already a bunch of delivery orders which we thought was a good sign. We got a katsu plate, sando, korean chicken and a katsu udon. The person working was alone and honestly did really well multitasking. We didn't wait too long for our food and he brought it out to us. My daughters devoured the udon and the katsu. My husband really like the korean chicken. Some of the sauce wasn't even distributed on the chicken but the flavor was good. We were a little sad that the honey garlic was sold out. That was one we wanted to try. The sando was good too and the bread was a little soggy but that was okay. Honestly everything was pretty solid here and if we are craving katsu, this would be somewhere we would check out again. read more

Awful. Place was empty. Should have been a hint. My katsu came cut in tiny cubes, and over battered. The curry, served in a cardboard container on the side. Radish looked old. Worse: the rice was not well cooked... How does one fail cooking rice... read more

This is such a hidden gem in Glendale. I love it! Came once last Saturday and came back today with another group of friends!!! The foods do look like the photos and do taste just like how you imagine it! read more

We were in the area and wanted something warm and comforting. So we found this! Their menu had a lot of variety which naturally caught my eye. Bryan was very hospitable and took good care of us. I ordered the Tonkatsu Ramen and from their sides I ordered Korean Gang Jung (tender bites) and Bulogogi Cheese Fries with Garlic Aioli Sauce (which is not in their menu, but it does pop up when you order in their kiosk). As always ramen is amazing, but the sides surprised me!!!! Those Bulgogi Cheese fries were so flavorful and the flavor changed with each bite. The tender bites were pretty good too and it was a big portion! Don't skip on the sides when you visit this place! Note: Ten Ramen shares the space with Katsu Bar. If you're searching for this place, look for Katsu Bar. read more

Found Katsu Bar late at night with my girlfriend and decided to give it a try! We tried their Dill Egg Salad Sando , Yubu Pockets , and their Tteokbokki Cream Katsu Udon. The Dill Egg Salad Sando was great! I loved how creamy the egg was with a slight sweetness from the bread. The Tteokbokki Cream Katsu Udon was good as well! It wasn't too spicy and the udon/ tteokbokki were cooked perfectly. The Katsu was pretty standard. The Yubu Pockets were a little disappointing. I've actually never had them before but it was mostly rice and not a lot of toppings. Flavor was good , I just wish it had more of the toppings we ordered. Service was good , we went pretty late so our food came out pretty fast. Workers seemed nice and friendly too! Ambiance is cool! Just a pretty basic restaurant that is clean with plenty of seating. Overall , would come back again if I'm in the area or crave a late night spot! read more

Katsu Bar - Dill Egg Salad Sando Yubu Set (choose 4) - Japanese Curry Near Me - Glendale, California

I've always liked this place, but my most recent visit left much to be desired. The service is still quick and the staff are nice, but the food quality has gone downhill, likely a sign of hard economic times. Although my pork katsu was cooked properly, it was served over a bed of really dry rice. I only ate it because I was hungry and compensated for the dry rice by doubling up on katsu sauce. I was also disappointed to see that they no longer carry Stubborn corn syrup free soda, just the standard offerings. I'm not quitting this spot yet. I hope things pick up. It's hard to find quick, convenient katsu. read more

Service is kinda slow. I feel like food is a bit overpriced- but it's open late, super close to me- I can't complain. First time there earlier this evening- got the miso Ramen (Good, just barely any meat; I got the rib and Chashu) And the Bulgogi fries (probably won't get again, it's not a very big portion, but a lot of bulgogi vs fries ratio, if that makes sense) I'd recommend if it's late and ur in the area read more

Really great late night spot! After looking around for something warm and comforting following a concert that ended at midnight, this place seemed like worth a shot. Luckily, it was really perfect!. The spot was super clean and calm and the staff that helped outside of the virtual kiosks were super sweet. The tofu soup and katsu were pretty good and solid comforting dishes, which were really great to end the night. Check this spot out if you're looking for a similar experience! read more

i loooove this place so much. i was looking for a spot to eat near here and was craving korean food. the servers were so sweet and helped me pick which dish to get from the large menu. so many good options that i wanna come back to try more. there is a lot of seating and so much to do in the area! cream katsu udon with rice cakes 5/5: genuinely satisfied my craving so much. i love udon and the katsu was a perfect crunch with the sauce. truffle parmesan fries 3.5/5: the fries were honestly undercooked but i just air fried them when i got home and it was delicious. i was craving this udon again the next day but i realized their menu is different in this location compared to their other locations like near el segundo so it didn't have the udon that i got before. read more

The place itself is nice and comfortable, though nothing particularly stands out about the ambiance. What really impressed me was the food. Both dishes were packed with flavor, and the katsu was perfectly crispy while staying juicy inside. The noodles were cooked well, and the sauces were rich and satisfying without being overwhelming. Service was good throughout the visit. Staff were friendly, attentive, and made sure everything came out in a timely manner. Overall, I would definitely come back for the food. If you're looking for tasty comfort food with generous portions and good service, this spot is worth checking out. read more

You order from a kiosk and seat yourself. The food was brought out to us by a nice staff member. We ordered the cauliflower tempura, tteokbokki cream katsu (chicken) udon, and rose pasta with chicken katsu. We loved how crunchy the katsu was, and the chicken wasn't dry at all. The pastas were flavorful. The cauliflower tempura was crispy but could have used a bit more seasoning. Overall, it's a great place for a quick dine with reasonable prices. read more

We stopped in for dinner the other night. There is plenty of parking in the parking structure. The restaurant itself is modern and quaint. We got the kimchi dumplings. Nice and crispy on the outside and filled with kimchi on the inside. We made short work of them. We got a shrimp katsu sando. Each sando had 2 pieces of shrimp katsu. They were crispy on the outside and moist, flavorful shrimp on the inside. They also come with a side of waffle fries. We had to get a curry katsu plate. We got chicken katsu that was large and tender. The curry was so good. It was quite filling. We also needed to try the apple chili sandwich. We got it with a pork katsu. The apple chili and pork katasu pair perfectly just like apple sauce and pork chops. And we got a Korean street food omelet sando. The fluffiness of the eggs and the veggies in the omelet work so well with the soft bread. I already need another one! Last but not least we got a strawberry sando. The cream and fresh strawberries go so well with the bread. Perfect way to finish the meal. Service was super friendly and helpful. We cannot wait to get back to try more of the menu. read more

Great food in a busy area of Glendale. It's housed alongside a Poke Bar and what seems to be a small pasta place. All the food- pork katsu apple sandwich with fries, calamari, chicken katsu curry combo, and wings- was delicious. Juicy, hot, and flavorful (favorite was the sandwich!) The service was okay. We possibly came on a rough day, so I'll give them grace. First, a staff member visibly got upset at us taking time before placing our order (it was our first time, and options are ample between the three restaurant options), then ordered someone "you take their order," and walked off. Later on, our food came out and we noticed we had regular fries with our pork sandwich combo, instead of the seasoned waffle fries shown on the menu. When we spoke up to staff, they simply stated that they ran out of waffle fries. That would've been great to know in advance. Also, we were given an extra order of the katsu curry combo, which confused us at first. However, since we already began eating it, it would've made sense for the staff to let us keep it, right? Instead, they came to our table later and took it away. I get that it was an extra order we hadn't paid for, but why not either let us keep it or take away the one we hadn't touched? Regardless, the food was good and perhaps the service was just off this day. I'd still return. read more

Very casual restaurant with an expansive menu, ranging with inari, katsu Don, udon, curries and burgers. It was pretty difficult to decide but if you're indecisive, stick with their signatures which are their katsu sandos, katsu curry with rice, and ramen. The portions are hefty. I got the katsu chicken Sando, it was chewy and filling, The staff were kind and brought out the food promptly. read more

Best chicken katsu we've ever had! So so yummy, we will be returning!! The only bummer was the mac salad, it was just white, runny, and bland. Won't order that again but the sandwich was so good! read more

Love this place. The Garlic Aioli Katsu Sando is my go to. I love pairing it with curry dip, it is heavenly I also love to how friendly the manager is. Despite ordering from a kiosk, he goes above and beyond to provide hospitality and elevate the vibes. Also appreciate that they switched the music to be club edm instead of the general top 100 hits literally everywhere in Glendale is playing. Definitely makes the place feel more cool and special despite being a quick eats kind of joint. Overall, amazing food for the price point. Will keep coming back. read more

was in Glendale and looking for a place to eat. Saw this Katsu place and thought "um katsu" so went with wife. the ordering is by self kiosk so it was easy what i notice is that even though this is a katsu place their menu has a variety of item like noodles (asian and no asian noodles) and sando sandwiches. they note in their site they offer a diverse menu u but i think too diverse. i got fish katsu 3 pieces of katsu fish with a good amount t of rice and korean radishes. wife got sando sandwich the katsu was decent it was well katsu and filling. but was disappointed with the sando sandwich. it was just ok i was hoping for more flavor. this is lt bad for a bite to eat in the area it's about $15-16 per dish the room was roomy with plenty of seating read more

Katsu Bar - Rosemary Katsu Sando W/ Sides - Japanese Curry Near Me - Glendale, California

Katsu bar Finally got to try this viral spot. So let's see if they're pretty good eh or ew. I got their strawberry matcha latte, cauliflower tempura, bulgolgi and cali roll yubu pockets, steak rice bowl, chicken truffle cream pasta, and apple chili sandwich to try. The strawberry matcha was perfectly sweet and had a good balance of sweet strawberry and earthy bitter matchay flaves. The cauliflower tempura had a lightly crisp outside with a tender cauliflower inside and came with a creamy garlicky mayoy dipping sauce that wasn't for me. The bulgolgi and cali roll yubus were LOADED with their toppings, had a sweet chewy tofu skin filled with sesame oil seasoned rice. I didn't really like the Cali roll one tho cuz it had a really strong mayoy flave and stringy texture that reminded me of worms. The bulgolgi was good, tender, umami and sweet tho. The meat steak bowl tasted like the bulgolgi on the yubu and came with a juicy corn rib, mayoy lowkey mushy Mac salad, chunky yolky egg salad, and a crunchy cabbage topped with a mayoy sauce. The truffle pasta was creamy and rich and had mellow truffley flaves. The chicken that came with it was also salty and tough. The apple chili was pretty good tho. I got it with the pork katsu which was nicely crispity crunchy and paired well with that slightly spicy apple chili sauce that kinda reminded me of the flaves of apple pie? It also had crunchy coleslaw and pickles and a buttery thick brioche bun. Katsu here is definitely pretty good but the rest overall eh. Strawberry matcha $5.50 Cauliflower tempura $8.99 Bulgolgi Yubu $4 Cali roll yubu $4 Steak rice bowl $17.99 Chicken Truffle cream pasta $16.99 Apple chili sandwich $15.99 read more

Following a visit to the Martial Arts History Museum (fascinating museum! Definitely worth a visit.), directly across the street from Katsu Bar, my BF and I stopped in to Katsu Bar for a quick bite. We had been meaning to come to this friendly, casual café for awhile. We were not disappointed! There were so many menu options; an unexpected surprise! From the street you have no idea that inside this unassuming place is some very gourmet food being served. In the end, we chose to share the Katsu Bowl ($15.99), a perfect example of the whole made wonderful because of the sum of its many parts! It started with the delicious moist Panko-breaded breast of Chicken Katsu, sliced, and placed over the bowl of rice. And then topped with many ingredients. I've never had a rice bowl that included corn on the cob! And an egg! And cabbage! And onion! So much and so delicious. We shared it because it was just mid afternoon and we were only moderately peckish and it was the perfect amount for us. We were impressed and almost overwhelmed with the many choices on the menu. Menu pictures are included here so you can see the selection. We are definitely looking forward to returning. And PS, although it took us a minute to realize that nobody was coming to take our order and the iPads on the counter were supposed to be used, not just admired, lol, in the end we thought they were very cool. read more

Katsu Bar Glendale Have you been? This location amazed me with more menu items and creativity in recipes. The recipe for their Korean Rose Cream Sauce is amazing! It's the perfect balance of flavor and it over pasta was truly tasting a hidden gem. On top of that, eating it with a crispy chicken Katsu and arugula.Perfection in my eyes. It reminded me of eating chicken parm but Korean style. This spot daily special for $12.99 that includes a huge ufo shaped Katsu Sandwich ontop of a mountain of waffle fries. Their appetizer menu includes over 10 choices and I tasted the sauce and sticky rice cakes along with a mountain of popcorn chicken. read more

Just ordered the Korean spicy chicken tenders creamy chicken bowl and egg sando. Egg sando was just ok, though it did not at all look like the pics with the crustless bread. The chicken soup was freezing cold and tasted gamey. I had 2 bites and couldn't eat it. The Korean style spicy chicken wings, was basically the breaded chicken breast cut up, with a drizzle of the spicy tangy sauce. The sauce was good but this dish was also freezing cold Overall it's a good concept, I would want to know the quality matches what they promise on the menu and in their brand read more

There's a nice variety of options here, in a VERY spacious atmosphere. Ordering is done through the kiosks, and the team is very friendly and was open to guiding me through options I was unfamiliar with. Items are prepared at ordering so if you're seeking something quick be aware it may take some time. The portions were larger than I expected! I ordered the katsu platter and the katsu was an excellent size with some sizeable sides (especially the cabbage and the rice. Overall it was a good taste and enjoyable, though maybe it was me but the rice texture was not quite what I was used to (being very firm). Another time I tried the musubi, which comes premade and wrapped then heated upon ordering. It's heated in the plastic wrap so it was a bit difficult to remove and I was a little concerned of the plastic being heated onto the food but YOLO. It was good, so if the other musubi or onigiri location is closed and you're craving some this is a decent alternative. If you're hungry, you won't leave hungry and the pricing is reasonable for what you get. read more

Katsu Bar is a small spot with a handful of seating serving katsu plates, sandos, and sandwiches. They also serve some yubus. Rosemary Katsu Sando - I liked the bread. I thought the sando could use a little more katsu sauce, so I'll most likely be asking for more on the side next time. I did order this for take out so it wasn't as crispy when I got home, but it was still very tasty. I would like to eat this next time fresh in the restaurant. Fries - very crispy but were pretty salty, so maybe I'll ask for less salt next time or maybe i got a unusual batch of salt. Parking: Minimal metered street parking across the street. There is a parking structure nearby that's free for 90 min. read more

I'm glad I finally got to try this play out! My partner and I pass by when walking about downtown Glendale. I was actually a bit worried seeing their menu as there's SO many offerings since typically the food would be stale if there's not throughput. HOWEVER, I was mistaken. We ordered the katsu don, bugolgi fries, and the takoyaki. The food was prettty solid. Flavors were classic and hit the spot. In terms of service, we preferred on kiosks, but the staff delivered our food and checked in on us . That was nice :) read more

Eggs weren't even real ramen eggs. Just hard boiled eggs! So bad. I would not go back.

This is an absolutely solid place to get your Japanese and Korean comfort foods. First up is the katsu plate. Crispy and juicy katsu, slightly sweeter curry sauce, great rice to soak it all up, and crunchy radishes. The katsu sando is light, saucy, soft bread, a great set up. The chicken sando is absolutely perfect. Giant juicy and crispy chicken with so much delicious sauce and crunchy tasty coleslaw and the perfect bun to soak things up. Tteokbokki is chewy, saucy, savory, smokey, cheesy, a nice big plate. Waffle fries are so crispy and crunchy, perfect to dip in the curry and rice cake sauces. The miso soup was fantastic. The only two downsides are the poke and egg salad. The egg salad was just kinda plain. But the poke wasn't good. The fish wasn't cut well and a bit chewy, while the sauce was super bland. Overall, a great place to come back to for all things katsu! read more
