    Burger + Croquette
    Jeffrey Y.

    Croquette was very good. Burger was also good, but not sure why they advertise beef as the main option, I'm more used to pork katsu. Be prepared to get it to-go if you are ordering near peak hours, there's only a handful of tables in this small establishment.

    Generally liked the burger. It was huge but I think it could have been less tall if they just packed it with less of the salad. I'd argue that it's a bit too much and a little less would have made it more balanced. I also feel the bun could be better but don't have good suggestions except for a diff bread bun. Beyond that the burger was really good. I got the SAMURAI SELECT W/BEEF KATSU. The beef katsu was very tender and the flavors on it were very good ranging from the sweet tanginess of the pineapple to the katsu sauce to the wasabi mayo. The wasabi mayo is legit! My nose burned a lil from eating a lil bit of the salad straight by taking it out from the burger since it was too big and also because the salad was so much that it kinda overpowered other ingredients. Overall, a good spot for a quick lunch and nice burger tho at $15 ish it can be a lil pricey.

    It would perfect if you just did a little something to the bread/bun. The burger was great, the sauce was awesome, the veggies were perfectly shredded for the right amount of crunch, but the bread... was just hanging out, not contributing to the symphony. I don't pretend to be a chef, but do something with the bun-- lightly toast it, slather some sauce, warm it up. Any of those things would push the burger from very good to *chef's kiss*

    This burger spot is dazzling! They will mesmerize you with juicy, fresh, and flavorful burgers. It felt dream-like as we ordered and what felt like mere minutes our Tokyo Classic burgers amd fries arrived. The space is small, but tables open quickly. A godzilla sized plus - they have high chairs! The parking lot is atrocious to park in with how busy it is, but well worth it. We will absolutely be back to try more of the menu!

    I love the concept, Katsu + burger + Gojira? Cool, clean looking decor with nice Art. Tasted the Tokyo original chicken and the Wabi-Wasabi beef with side of fried mushrooms. Wanted to try not fries. The taste and quality of the burgers are good. Few notes: The bun is a bit dry n doughy Needs more tonkatsu sauce Does it need that much cabbage? Gotta smash it down to fit in yo mouf The food comes out quick and the atmosphere is a cool Tokyo chill vibe. Maybe I'll try to customize the Sando a bit next time and see how it goes.

    A hearty serving of katsu, a bouncy bun, and not too oily. I really enjoyed my experience here! I came here on a Saturday morning with my partner to get some lunch, and the place was busy. We were planning to dine in, but all of the tables were occupied while we were ordering at the kiosk (there are only about five tables total). I ended up ordering takeout, although a table did open up and we were able to snag it. It seems like the majority of orders are to-go, which get blended in with the takeout queue, so you might be waiting a while. I was watching the pickup window as they were packing the sandwiches, and man, they are huge. It took them around 20 minutes to call out our food, with about 10 orders ahead of us (you can see your order number on the monitor above). We ordered the Tokyo Signature Classic Katsu with chicken breast and the Ohayo sandwich (their breakfast sandwich with bacon and egg) paired with beef katsu. We also got some nori fries to share on the side. My Tokyo Classic sandwich was delicious. It was nicely and lightly battered and not heavy at all. They were really generous with the meat, and it was juicy. If I had one complaint, it would be that I would have preferred it to be a bit more salted, but I dunked it in an extra side of miso mustard, so it was great. My partner's Ohayo sandwich with beef was meaty and paired well with the bacon and egg. It was a great wake-me-up meal. The fries were great as well. As a note, there are three different styles of fries you can get. We chose the nori fries this time, but we previously ordered the 12-spice version to-go. Between the two, we preferred the nori. We paired them with their curry mayo sauce, which added a nice savory component to the dish. Overall, this place is great. It is a bit on the louder side and can get pretty packed. The layout of the spot is not the most forgiving when it's busy, but regardless, the service was good and the food was tasty.

    I honestly didn't quite get the hype around this spot, the food was just alright and the prices felt pretty steep for what you get. The menu centers around Japanese katsu-style burgers tailored to Asian flavor profiles. On the positive side, the burgers are quite large and packed generously with toppings. We ordered at the kiosk, and the service was quick--our food was ready in about 10-15 minutes, though this probably depends on how long the line is when you visit. We tried two different burgers. While they were decent, the Wasabi Burger was a bit of a letdown as it completely lacked that signature wasabi kick. We also ordered the curry fries, but they were nothing special. The restaurant itself is very small with limited seating. It definitely feels like it was designed to be more of a quick grab-and-go spot rather than a sit-down dining experience. Ultimately, I'm glad I checked it off my list, but the food didn't wow me enough to justify the price. I wouldn't go out of my way to come back unless I happened to be right in the neighborhood.

    You can hardly taste the Kats.

    Katsu puts the F U in fusion. So it's a classic American hamburger with the crunchy, deep fried technique of Japanese katsu. It didn't have the crunch I expected, nor did I think the process locks in the juices. But, I did love the Japanese flavor profile. It was stacked with Kewpie-soaked, whisper thin, raw cabbage that was like a shredded wheat meets cole slaw, in a good way. It's far superior to lettuce (exception: arugula). The savory, sweet tonkatsu sauce elevate as the sandwich. Plus the fries, though limp, have Japanese curry and nori flakes, and the sauces (spicy mayo, honey miso, and a rich yellow curry) really make it unique. They also have yummy fried mushrooms, and because they are Japanese, they give your kart a quick boost of speed. All that, plus chicken bites and a not-cold-enough $3 can of Diet Coke came to $38 on the kiosk. The downside is that they pump the tiny spot with loud, bouncy pop music and they don't have fountain drinks, so if we return, Letsa To-Go!

    Located around Santa Clara Koreatown, parking is plentiful and easy to find. The interior is small but there's ample tables for small groups. Ninja deluxe (5/5): absolutely delicious. The pork was crispy and wasn't too liquidy allowing the pork to stay crispy throughout. A nice touch was the gloves allowing you to keep your fingers and hands clean while you eat. There's water readily available which is always nice to see. I also really liked how there was an eta for your food. It was pretty accurate as well. Tap to pay is accepted. Overall, Katsu Burger has some delicious food and good service

    What a wonderful addition to the plaza -- katsu burgers please! This place serves up quick Japanese inspired burgers fast. The menu has a good variety of options for all patrons -- proteins such as tofu, pork, chicken and beef! ORDER/SEATING Kiosk order and pick up your order at the counter. One piece of feedback is the limited indoor seating. We arrived around 6 or 7PM and managed to secure the last available table. It would be nice to have outdoor seating options. SERVICE Everyone was very friendly and welcoming including the managers/owners. FOOD My partner and I ordered a burger each and fries to share. The portions are MASSIVE. I finished my burger but barely touched the fries. My partner finished most of the burger. Honestly, it's a good place to share a burger and fries! -Tokyo Classic - Katsu Curry Both burgers were absolutely delicious and crafted with exquisite detail. I highly recommend this Japanese-American fusion burger spot for a satisfying experience.

    A legendary Seattle-born spot that's redefining the American burger with a Japanese fusion twist, Katsu Burger has officially arrived in Santa Clara. They've perfected the mashup by taking hand-formed patties seasoned with miso and panko-breading them for that signature deep-fried crunch. It is the perfect balance of a juicy burger and a crispy katsu in every bite. They offer a wide variety of protein options, including house-ground beef, pork loin, chicken breast, and organic miso tofu. Since every order is fried fresh, the katsu stays incredibly crispy on the outside while remaining tender inside. If you're a fan of unique fusion eats, this spot is definitely worth a visit.

    I came by for a second shot a few weeks later. The owner was kind enough to send me a promo code to use to give them another visit after I wrote my initial review. This time I got the Tokyo Burger and matcha shake. The Tokyo Burger wasn't bad, definitely preferred this over the Kyoto mushroom melt burger that I got last time. It was less heavy and had a better balance of ingredients. The matcha shake wasn't great, it was filled with unmixed matcha powder (see picture) and was too thick to drink. I appreciate their customer service though and their staff are very efficient.

    We were very happy with our meal here today. We had the Godzilla, Tokyo Tower, and nori fries and they were all great. The staff was great as well. That said, it was a $50 lunch for two, so pretty pricey.

Piri piri chicken bow ($15)l- Chicken was ok. Got a nice lil grill but could be more tender. I think it's breast tho so prob healthier. The rest of the bowl included purple rice, some greens, tomatoes, pickled veggies. All in all it was a solid bowl. The orange sauce on top looked promising not it was a lil bland. The cool part is that they have a pretty large list of free condiments. I tried the sweet chili aoili, charred jalapeno aioli, and the Meyer lemon aioli. Both were great as extra sauces in the chicken bowl. Overall, pretty solid spot and they got a decent selection of beers with their inhouse beers only goin for 7 bux!

    Disappointing First Experience…read more We came in around 7:40 PM, even though the posted closing time is 9:00 PM. It was our first time visiting because we had heard good things and were excited to finally try the food. Unfortunately, the cashier and two other employees told us they were no longer allowing dine-in customers because they were getting ready to close, despite there still being about 40 minutes before the restaurant's posted closing time. We were turned away and never had the opportunity to enjoy a meal. As a business owner in Silicon Valley for decades, I understand that employees need time to clean and prepare for closing. However, if your advertised business hours say you're open until 9:00 PM, customers should reasonably expect to be able to dine in until then or at the very least, until a clearly posted dine-in cutoff time. If the restaurant no longer accepts dine-in customers after 7:40 or 8:00 PM, that policy should be clearly communicated online, on the front door, and in the posted business hours. Otherwise, customers are making the trip expecting the full dining experience only to be turned away. For anyone planning to visit, I'd recommend arriving at least 1-2 hours before closing if you want to dine in. Otherwise, you may not be seated even though the restaurant is technically still open. I hope management reviews this policy because it creates a disappointing first impression and can easily drive away potential returning customers.
