    The place was clean and friendly staff. I stopped for lunch however it was not what I expected from a Katsu Sando. The meat was soggy/chewy not crispy and the sauce was way too sweet. The plating was nice but won't definitely not go back. I've had better Katsu in other places.

    Definitely great quality katsu. Tried their new spicy cold noodles with katsu and although I'm not a big fan of cold thin noodles the spicy sauce and katsu were delicious. Service was excellent with the staff taking the food out to you even if you are sitting outside. Place was clean.

    We passed by this location and decided to give it a try after seeing they had some deals posted right by the front door. We decided to try the following: Tteokbokki with Katsu: Thought this was pretty decent for the price. The katsu was perfectly fried and moist. The sauce was not too spicy and have a good flavor to it. Curry with Katsu: It simply is just curry and katsu. There was nothing too special about this one. Katsu still nice and crispy on this one! Korean Gang Jung: We got these in the soy garlic flavor. It was fried chicken with panko and tossed in sauce. I would say this would be a great starter if the chicken on this wasn't as dry. Not sure if this was just small strips of chicken they cut up but it seemed really dry. Overall, I think this place was just average. Nothing really stood out about their service or their food. I don't think I would be returning back here since there are a ton of other food options in the same plaza. I know they do have daily deals if you may be interested in some other items. I can't remember what exactly but they do have a sign right inside the restaurant that seemed like a fair price.

    Curry Udon

    Katsu Bar has a pretty wallet friendly lunch special. Each day of the week has a different special, all at $13 each. I will admit, it is a pretty good deal. We got the curry udon and the katsu udon. Not only is the deal great, but if you're on the go, food comes out pretty fast (about 5 minutes or so). The katsu udon as the name suggest, comes with a crispy hearty katsu sitting on udon and broth. Katsu was on the bit dry side but meaty and delicious. The udon also hit the spot as the day that we stopped by was cold and it had rained earlier in the week. Service was friendly and the interior is a bit small with a self serve drink dispenser. (BTW did I mention that the lunch special comes with a free drink?). Located in the Culver Plaza by 99 Ranch Market, this is definitely a convenient spot to visit if you're hungry and need something fast to satisfy your hunger.

    Delish delish delish!!! Katsu is super crispy and well cooked and they have so many options to pair it with. This was also the BEST strawberry Sando ive ever had. Been having dreams about it!!

    First time here for lunch. It seems like a pretty popular place in general. There was one table occupied inside and majority of patrons from this restaurant ate outside. The inside was very clean and bright. The staff was ok when taking our order. As for the food, we ordered a sandwich with waffle fries and Katsu plate. Even though we ate the food right away, it just seemed like it just wasn't hot enough. Additionally, there was not enough flavor and lack of seasoning on the food. Even with the dipping sauces, it just wasn't that tasty. We both did not finish our entrées. Probably will not return.

    The food is great ! I got the spicurry katsu plate on Monday for the Monday special! They were fast and super helpful with the questions I had regarding the menu. Place is quiet and super clean. Aaaaaand their pineapple cream soda is smacking !!!!!

    TLDR: 2 stars just for to-go The portion size is definitely smaller for to-go orders, their mala tteokbokki has zero spice or mala flavor, and they don't put the katsu separately, which guarantees a soggy katsu. Make sure to dine-in if you want to go here

    Quick service! There are two screens you can order from which I liked, then you can sit and wait for the food to come out which they bring out to you. There's also outdoor seating. I got the curry chicken katsu udon and it was quite delicious. The chicken was crispy, I wish I had more! I wish I added an egg as I felt there was something missing from this.

    Curry Katsu Plate

    Katsu Bar serves a comforting and flavorful katsu curry. The cutlet was crispy and the curry was rich. If I were to return, though, I'd stick to the curry and skip the sandwich; the combination of flavors with the rosemary felt a bit off. Service was great, and I enjoyed dining outside in the patio area. Overall, still a solid place when you're craving something warm and hearty.

    Service was great, the staff and Chef were very welcoming! The food had tons of flavor, made to a crisp and we got to try different things just to say we had it. Hands down the Rosemary Sando sandwich was on point! There's tables inside and plenty outside. Tons of parking space as well in this plaza. Menu is very simple, I would definitely come back here to try other things off their menu for sure!

    MJ H.

    Whether you're craving classic favorites or want to try bold and new flavors, Katsu Bar has it all. With so many variations of katsu, sandos, and Korean fusion dishes, it was hard to decide what to get as we wanted to try them all! What we tried: Yubu Pockets Rosemary Katsu Sando Curry Katsu Plate Shrimp Katsu Rice Bowl Calamari Katsu Tteokbokki- (love the added noodles) Cheesecake They offer daily specials and have indoor and plenty of outdoor seating available.

    This my husband's order is good too

We ordered through the QR code that was made available on the table. I did notice that other tables had servers come in to take order but no one ever came to our table. So we opted to ordering via the QR code. Everything is paid once the order has been made. Our total came up to around $113. We were about half way through our meal when the sever with pink highlights in her hair came up to us to verify our order. She repeated an order that sounded ALMOST identical to ours however, the price was set at $89 which really confused us since we already paid $113 for our entire order. Then this server got impatient and told us "It's a YES or NO question... Is this your order or not? Do you not know?" Again, we were mostly confused as to why she presented us with a tab of $89 when we already paid $113. And not just that, we were still mid-way through our meal. Her rudeness really ruined our appetite. We weren't rude to her. Why did she have to speak to us like that?

I had just enough for myself and enough to give a few pieces away too. The curry was tasty as well. * Child Set with Chicken Katsu, Potato & Carrots with Curry ($9.95) - The child set portion was also a nice option and also gave a little variety because it included 2 pieces of gyoza as well. * Tonkatsu Curry Udon ($17.50) regular - This was a good size, and it was obviously good as the Little Guy left the bowl empty. * Ishiyaki Curry with Tonkatsu ($18.50) - This was the most standout dish as it was different since it was served in a hot stone bowl.

    Curry Do..you have stolen my heart (and tummy). HANDS DOWN, my new fav Japanese curry house!!!…read more What started as a new food find w/ the hubs, one afternoon has now turned into an obsession and I can't get enough! Lol Located in Tustin, in the Strata Tustin Center ~ near THH sandwiches & Leaf N Cream tea house, Curry Do is a cute, modern, family-friendly Japanese-style curry house. The staff is super sweet, friendly & efficient. The establishment is casual w/ chill vibes, perfect for a lunch date or dinner w/ fam. I personally LOVE the awesome lunch special (offered M-F 11:30 am- 3 pm) ~ for only $13.50, you get one small appetizer and one small curry rice (with your choice of protein). My go-to has been the fried gyoza (3 pc) app & pork belly curry. The pork belly has the perfect meat to fat ratio. It's sooo yums! The hubs opt'd for the healthier option and went w/ the chicken katsu. We both get the medium spice level and it's perfect. Just the lil kick a curry should have. IMO, their curry is the true definition of what I envision for a Japanese curry. It's not overly spiced (like Indian curry), it's not overly sweet (or salty), but it's surely savory & memorable. I always do the add-on of the potatoes & carrots and fried egg. One time I even got the cheese and it just worked. Very deelish! You get a generous portion. I always can never finish it in one sitting and the leftovers taste even better. DEFFFFF ask for addt'l red pickle radish cuz it's chef's kiss. I was also enticed to stop by cuz I heard Curry Do sold Dough & Arrow cookies (also another fav place of mine..to which I was super sad it's flagship store in Costa Mesa closed), but have been bummed that I keep missing them.

As we arrived to pick up our order, I missed a call from the restaurant. We spoke to the employee when we got there. She explained that the website needed to be updated because it doesn't prompt you to select mild, medium, or spicy. She was very nice about this and said she was just about to package our food. It was ready but she needed to customize our spice level preference. I got the pork cutlet and medium curry. Medium was the perfect level for me. A couple of the curry bites seemed extra spicy, but overall it was just right and I'm glad I went with the medium versus mild. The lunch entrees included a side of pickled radish and red spice powder. Everyone enjoyed their selections and I'd be glad to return and try to dine in next time.
