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!

delicious katsu options! my portobello sandwich was so flavorful and crave-worthy. I haven't seen a portobello katsu sandwich on any menu before! and the gravy would be good on anything - just delicious. clean restaurant, clean bathrooms, free parking in the garage.

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.

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!

Great place to grab lunch! Took my daughter here as there's a bunch of toddler friendly foods! We ordered on the screen - got the cheese mozzarella sticks, the french fries and chicken wings - soy garlic. Didn't realize that the chicken wings came with fries so we had a lot of fries. Everything was delicious! So many things on the menu I need to try,

Creative is always on the menu." Walking into Katsu Bar Glendale, that slogan says it all. From matcha strawberry and dirty matcha that feel like boba-shop drinks, to egg sando, chicken yaki udon, and creative fusion pasta, rice bowls, udon, and tteokbokki -- this place truly delivers creative yet delicious Asian fusion food.

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.

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.

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

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.

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

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
