The breading on the chicken doesn't make up for poor quality chicken. Charge us more if you need to but don't compromise the taste and quality. Service was NA as it was to go & the fries were great. If you get the sandwich don't get the seaweeed on it, it's way too dominant of a taste that makes everything else seem unnecessary read more

Katsu Burger - Fries & sandwich - Japanese Near Me - Seattle, Washington

For the longest time, this place was takeout only which is not optimal because having katsu sit in the bag wrapped for an extended period of time would greatly diminish the quality. They finally have dine-in now, just by sheer luck as I walk by to order, thinking I would have to bring the food all the way to Cal Anderson Park to eat as worst case. I got the Katsu Curry burger which has a piece of pork katsu. After waiting for so long, and taking a bite immediately, I was not as impressed as I had hoped. However, the menu and the different burger varieties are quite creative! It is just the burger, while giving quite a crunch and offering fresh ingredients, was a bit too salty. But overall, the portions for even one burger are very large that you can comfortably share a burger with someone else. read more

This place is pretty good! I tried their Tokyo classic and Katsu Curry burgers before. I thought the pork Tokyo classic was spot on--an all around delicious and super filling burger. That burger was literally all I ate the entire day, I was so full. As for the chicken Katsu Curry burger, I was a little disappointed. I thought the curry flavor could have been stronger but overall it wasn't too shabby. I also tried out the chicken banzai bites, which I have to say I'm a big fan of. You get a decent portion with large chunks of chicken coated in a panko crust. I liked that it wasn't batter w/ chicken (instead of the way it should be: chicken w/ batter!). I got the miso honey mustard sauce with it which was also delicious, though I wish they gave just a little more sauce in their takeout cups. I think next time I could just order the banzai bites on its own and have that as a quick lunch. read more

Katsu Burger in Seattle offers a burger experience that's simply unique. The fusion of Japanese flavors with traditional American burgers is something to behold. The katsu-style patty, with its crispy exterior and tender meat inside, was a delightful surprise. It added an exciting twist to the classic burger. The eclectic menu and friendly service make Katsu Burger a standout spot for those seeking a burger adventure in Seattle. Everything I have tried I am simply impressed, you can't go wrong! read more

I was really pleased with this find!! I got the Miso Honey Tofu Burger and the Katsu Curry Bowl (with the Katsu tofu) and oh goodness, this is some of the best looking tofu I've seen!!! The edges were super crunchy :) For the burger, it was way more filling than I thought it would be, in the best way possible! I'm always worried tofu won't fill me up but WOOF that burger was a whole meal. The miso honey mustard was so yummy and it all worked great together. For the curry, once again amazing tofu, but I would rate this a good 3.5 out of 5. The curry was tasty, but the ratio of curry to rice and tofu was slightly lacking. Still tasty, I just mixed it up and maybe I was supposed to eat it differently haha. OVERALL, I 100% wanna go back to this place and get the burger again, (along with a milkshake or something haha) as the atmosphere of the place is amazing too (photos below). The people working there were super kind and the whole experience was pretty good! FOR PEOPLE WITH DIETARY RESTRICTIONS: I am allergic to eggs and nuts (and vegetarian) and they were super ALLERGY FRIENDLY :) read more

I loved this unique, huge, delicious burger! Ordered take out on a Thursday night and the Katsu Burger was freshly cooked to order with crisp toppings. The burger was reasonably priced and I enjoyed every bite. The Chai milkshake paired wonderfully with my burger. It had so much flavor and was just the treat I needed. read more

Came here during lunch time and ordered their vegetarian item - a miso tofu burger with fries and curry dip and it was pretty good! The fries were nice and crispy and the tofu burger had refreshing toppings and an addictive miso sauce. The burger itself is gigantic though, so a meal is a lot for a single person. My favorite thing on their menu is their shakes! I'd definitely recommend the strawberry cheesecake shake! read more

I didn't plan on going here, I just saw the sign and thought it looked interested so I went in. I figured I'd get the namesake, so I got the katsu curry burger and the nori flake fries. There wasn't much to say about the burger. It was decently tasty but pretty unwieldy to eat which always annoys me a little with any burger. As some other people have noted, the flavors didn't exactly "mesh" well in burger form and you get a lot of strong curry taste. As for the fries, they were fine but I felt the nori flavor wasn't that strong. The price is a little high but to be expected for Capitol Hill + zany boutique food place. I don't find myself craving this place but I wouldn't be opposed to going back. read more

I've been a big fan of Katsu Burger. I have been here multiple times as well as the Lynnwood location and they are always consistent and their service is quick. I recently got take out from them bc you know covid and it was just the same as going in and dining in. Because sometimes take out food just isn't the same but Katsu is still good at home. This was my first time getting one with pork and it was good, however I do prefer the beef katsu. I want to try chicken next time! Also I love the flavorings of the fries. You can get just normal, nori, curry, or 12 spice and all are good. And they have so many dipping sauces the miso honey mustard and nori ranch are my faves!!! I love how their burgers are crisp on the outside but still so soft and juicy on the inside and their flavor combos with all their toppings is top notch and you really don't have to add on anything that isn't there already! read more

Katsu Burger never fails to hit the spot! Today I ordered the Curry Katsu burger and substituted chicken for the pork cutlet. Yummy! It's just so dang delicious. A perfect little bundle of joy!

Katsu Burger - Curry Katsu and Nori Fries - Japanese Near Me - Seattle, Washington

Been here twice so far and I've had a good experience both of the times I've come. First time I got the Godzilla attack and it was great. I really liked the amount of flavor and meat inside the burger itself. The seasoning and sauces went really well with the burger. I liked it more than the ninja deluxe which felt a little plain compared to the Gozilla attack. But the ninja deluxe was still pretty good. They have a bunch of different fries flavors but I think I like the plain the most. The curry seasoning causes the fries to be a little more dry than I would have liked. I got the spicy mayo sauce and I don't think it pairs that well with the curry fries so I would suggest getting a different sauce. Since both of the flavors were pretty strong so they clashed a little. read more

Top 3 recommended was ninja, Godzilla, and Tokyo burgers. Godzilla is for all you spicy lovers! For a Saturday afternoon order it was ready after 10 minutes. The recommended top two by the employees were the Ninja Delux and the Godzilla! Both were delicious and gigantic! If you like a little spice, Godzilla would be the choice for you. Favorite Side sauce of the night: miso honey! It went well with the Nori fries. You can change the meat between pork, beef, chicken or even tofu. I had the pork first since it's their signature but next time I would get the chicken because everyone raved about it. This probably won't be a weekly burger place because it is a bit pricey but it is a new favorite! Heads up: it's take out and delivery only! read more

We'll talk about different! Great tasting burgers, if you're open to try new things definitely heck them out! The portions match the price... huge! I love burgers but this is Not a burger I would eat every day or even every weekend, but a treat to have here and there. The dipping sauces are awesome! I was kind of iffy about the curry Mayo, which my wife ordered, but it was surprisingly delicious! The 12 spices fries is the way to go! You can change your meat between beef, chicken, or pork at no additional cost. read more

The Ohayou Gozaimasu burger is heavenly. It comes with a thick cut of beef katsu as your patty, sunny-side-up egg, bacon, cheddar cheese, lettuce, and all drizzled with sweet & savory tonkatsu sauce. I also got a side of Nori Fries and Wasabi Cole Slaw and thought the wasabi was a nice touch of flavor while the nori was mainly decorative. The food came out fairly quickly and there was ample seating for small and large groups. I'd love to come back again! read more

The prices are kind of high, but the portions are good and the food is amazzzingg!! These burgers are bomb. This is one of the places I recommend to my friends who come to visit from a different state. I also recommended it to a few other friends, and they all loved it too. This location is pretty spacious inside and even has a bar. Every time I've come here, it's been pretty empty. Maybe I go at times when they're not busy, but there's usually only one other table that's occupied in this huge place. Street parking can be difficult in Capitol Hill, but don't let it stop you. You can eventually find parking somewhere. The service here is pretty good. The workers are friendly enough, but they don't stand out or anything. I usually get the Ninja Deluxe ($10.25) or the Katsu Curry ($9.25). I loved both of them. Kind of messy and difficult to eat because the burgers are so fat, so we usually cut it up. The chicken is crispy but soft and juicy inside, and the sauces they use are so good. I lovee! My friend got the Godzilla before which is supposed to be really spicy, but she didn't think it was too spicy, so don't be too hesitant about it. 4.5/5 for the burgers. We usually also get the nori fries ($3.15) which are crispy and bomb. They have a variety of dipping sauces you can choose from too. read more

So many people have told me about katsu burger as a must restaurant to go to for Seattles food scene and I finally checked it out for lunch. I got the Tokyo Classic burger and it was HUGE. I could have definitely split it with my friend and we both would have been stuffed. The burger was extremely fresh, however there wasn't as much spice or flavours to it. I was skeptical of fried beef at first but it was truly delicious. read more

Yumm! I'm a big fan of burgers so thought I'd check this place out - known for it's unique Japanese inspired burgers. The decor is really fun inside, the staff all friendly. I ordered the Godzilla Attack, which was a huge burger, and a side of fries. It was DELICIOUS! I've heard rumors of food poisoning here, but I did not have that experience. The only experience i had was a VERY full stomach, and I took half the food home for later! Ha! I loved all the spice on the burger. I enjoyed how they seasoned their fries. I would come back (but would bring a friend to split with). read more

Katsu Burger never disappoints! This location is in Capitol Hill, towards downtown and it is quite spacious! Unfortunately it is currently pickup/to go only, due to covid. Got my usual Ninja Deluxe with wasabi Mayo as an add on, which I sprinkled inside the burger. The pork was super tender and delicious as usual, all flavors combined together in an explosion of flavor, I really like it. I found a spot on a bench on the other side of the road and a runner stopped on his tracks, stared at my burger and, while salivating, asked me "where did you get THAT!!!" LOL he was really eating it with his eyes. read more

I ordered takeout from katsu burger -- it was one of my favorite meals I had while visiting Seattle! I've never had anything like the miso honey tofu burger. The crispness of the tofu was perfect and everything I'd imagined. I would have liked a bit more sauce on the burger, but there is the option to buy a side of sauce if you love sauce like me. We ordered the nori fries as well but unfortunately the dipping sauce we ordered did not make it into our takeout bag. The fries were great on their own but I'd love to try them again with the sauce! Would definitely recommend both things I got! read more

Solid Japanese comfort food with an American burger twist. On a recent trip to Seattle, Katsu Burger was on my radar as a place to check with its multiple locations throughout the city. The Capitol Hill was the closest to where I was staying. For this Japanese burger joint, Katsu and Curry are two of my favorite Japanese comfort foods so I was interested when they were so prominently highlighted in the menu. The combination of the Katsu Curry Burger was something that I wanted to order but I tried to reserve my expectation. Fortunately, I was rewarded with a great burger. They have some larger options but the simple burgers would be my go-to's at this place. Decor: The interior design was funky and creative with different Japanese nods of Godzillas and other anime items. There was a lot of space during our early dinner visit. Food: We shared the Katsu Curry Burger for $9.25 and Ninja Deluxe Burger for $10.25 The Katsu Curry Burger comes with Japanese Curry Powdered Natural Pork Loin Katsu, American Cheese, Tonkatsu Sauce, and the signature Curry Mayo. The Ninja Deluxe Burger comes with Crispy Natural Pork Loin Katsu, Cheddar Cheese, Bacon, Tonkatsu Sauce, and Japanese Mayo. This burger is one of their most popular items. We had their Nori flavored fries and 12 Spice Blend flavored Fries for each $3.15. We went with Spicy Mayo which is made with Sriracha and mayo, and Wasabi Mayo for dipping sauce. I enjoyed the burgers, fries and dipping sauce. Overall: It's a great Japanese inspire burger joint. I look forward to trying some of their other offerings on my next visit. read more

This is the best Katsu Burger I have ever had! I wasn't expecting this burger to be so good and I had already eaten so I wasn't hungry but I really wanted to try this place out while in Seattle so I split it with my husband and Wow did I regret that - one bite in and I wanted the whole thing! It is crispy, juicy, saucy, so satisfying! A burger worth trying even if you aren't super hungry, you must check this place out! I ordered through Yelp and went in earlier than the quoted time to check. They didn't take too long, 15-20 min and they were pretty busy with orders and had inside dining as well. We strolled around while we waited and the area was pretty busy, looked like a great area for food, drinks and desserts. What a fun hang out spot when you're fully able to go out again! read more

The people who work here are super kind and attentive. The Tokyo Classic was delicious. Very clean. Music selection was good too lol

The staff and ambience 5/5 The food 1/5 The only reason I gave it 2 stars is solely for the curry Mayo. I had to drench every part of the meal for it to be palatable. It was fresh and the flavor resembled so. For the vegetables to be standing out as much as they were on the burger I may as well have gotten a salad. The chocolate milkshake was remotely flavorless though the consistency was refreshing. Overall the only thing bringing me back is the dipping sauce which says a lot about the food considering everything in this photo was $38. read more

The staff was friendly, the food was not. Flavorless hunks of burger and chicken nuggets tossed into a bag. Even the milkshakes taste watered down and lacking in flavor, the presentation is amazing, and the fried food smells clean, however in order for the food to taste good, they've gotta risk getting that fryer oil a little dirty with some spices. Overall, the employees were excellent and on point, but the food needs a lot more kick to it, especially for the price. This is a restaurant and the main attraction is the food, why hold back on flavor? read more

Katsu Burger took a while to grow on me. My initial view was that there is never a time where I find myself torn between wanting a hamburger or wanting Americanized Japanese food. This remains true - Katsu burger will never satisfy a craving for an old fashioned cheeseburger, nor will it satisfy a craving for cheap Seattle teriyaki. But if you want something unique that will also be quite filling, Katsu Burger fits the bill. My personal favorite is the Godzilla Attack Burger, but having tried many of their other burgers I can't say there is a weak spot on the menu. It should be noted that the burgers are huge - the most basic item on their menu with a side of fries will be more than enough for the most voracious of eaters. As you move up the menu to the more expensive items, the burgers become absurdly proportioned. These larger menu items are not things you eat because they taste good (though they do) - they are things you eat because you have something to prove. One friend, a notorious glutton, made an attempt at their largest hamburger. While he was able to finish it, he nonetheless spent the remainder of the day looking like he had been inseminated by xenomorphs. Overall, very tasty food. Though this review is for the Capitol Hill location because I have been to that spot the most, I have also tried the SoDo location and it is consistent in taste and quality with the Capitol Hill location. I can only assume the same holds true for other locations. read more

TLDR; deep fried beef patties or pork cutlets in burgers. Burgers are huge and delicious! Katsu Burger, a fusion of American and Japanese cuisine done right. I don't know why this isn't more common but deep fried patties in your burger just sounds like a good meal. We got lucky and snagged a parking spot right outside the restaurant. It seems like there's only street parking in the area and most if it's metered too. At the restaurant, order your food and then seat yourself. When you're done, there are waste receptacles so you can bus your own table. There's a lot of different specialty burgers but I went with the Ohayao Gozaimasu. You can't beat a burger with bacon and eggs! Food came out really fast, like within 5 minutes. And the burger came out stacked. Like I had to really squish the burger to fit everything in a bite. The deep fried beef patty was pretty good but I think a pork cutlet would've tasted a bit better. I also noticed that the cashier stayed true to Japanese culture. The cashier used both hands to accept my credit card and to give my receipt. Just a small subtle thing but I thought that was pretty cool. If I'm ever in the area, I'd love to come eat here again! read more

Inside there is a counter for burgers on the left and a bar area on the right. They have big tables for large parties. They also have large TVs and a projector for sporting events. They have happy hour Monday through Friday 4-6pm which has items like sushi, shareables, and sake! I ordered the katsu curry burger ($9.25). This was definitely a different type of burger than I'm accustomed to. Usually I'm able to bite right through a normal beef patty but going through the crunch of the pork katsu added another element. However, I wasn't the biggest fan of how the cheese was not melted and how I tasted mostly the top bun when taking a bite. I'm glad there's one a little closer to me in Bellevue so I can try the other items on their menu! read more

One of the first tasty looking spot we found in Seattle was Katsu Burger. We love katsu, and we love burger, so it was marriage made in heaven. The inside was large with a good amount of seating with many tables and chairs. Their burger offerings looked really good, it was not easy to choose. We ordered Katsu Curry and Ninja Deluxe burgers. We also ordered side of fries, Nori and 12 Spice Blend. Both burger was quite big, nicely crafted. In Japan, katsu is usually eaten with a side of shredded cabbage, and this one had a good amount of shredded cabbage on top. It added nice fresh flavor and crisp texture. The burgers were really tasty! And with the size, it was filling and satisfying. It is sad that the fries don't come with the burgers, making them a bit pricy overall if you want fries with your burger. Both fries were delicious, not overly greasy, soft and potato-y. The dipping sauces were really nice too, we certainly ate them all up! We had high expectations and they did delivered pretty well. The burgers were high quality and delicious, and the fries were addictive and tasty. Great spot for an easy lunch! read more

This is a pretty unique place in seattle, where the burger consist of typical katsu components within a bun. Surprisingly it works really well and I take all of my visiting friends here because of it. Since the pandemic, they only offer takeout, but with it being in the center of Capitol Hill, it's easy to take a seat in Cal Anderson park or one of the sit down places nearby. So far I've tried the curry katsu and the umami wagyu with curry and 12 spice fries and they were mouth watering. I lean more towards the pork katsu burgers but everything on the menu seems amazing and I always love to go back and try different items. read more

A great change to the regular burger/fries but with a Japanese twist. Had the ninja burger with bacon and cheese. The katsu was breaded light and the chicken was pretty moist. Bacon added a great crunch. White chocolate mocha milkshake was surprisingly good. Tasted just like a mocha but not overly sweet. Order at the counter. Japanese snacks and drinks up front. Cool that they have a bar to the side with sake. read more

I was spending the day in Cap Hill working with Cara, the coolest Yelp Seattle CM, and Matt, who is the Yelp Portland CM. Cara and I were ready to eat about halfway through our working date, so we knew we were going to want to head out for a late lunch... So Matt suggested this place! This place is definitely the place to go if you're looking to try something new and you're craving something more towards Asian-fusion food rather than burgers. I went with the Wabi Wasabi Burger & the Nori Fries. I've seen the Nori Fries all over Yelp and Insta, so I just had to try them for myself. I mean, fries sprinkled with seaweed? Can you really go wrong?! I also ordered a side of the spicy mayo for dippin' those in. My only complaint about the burger is that they stack this thing with way too much cabbage. I'm sorry, but nobody needs that much cabbage on their burger. I digress. The burger itself was so yummy and so unique. The Wabi Wasabi has Katsu Beef, pepperjack cheese, cabbage, pickles, a wasabi mayo, and a sweet sauce I'm not sure of the name of. Everything went together so well and the wasabi mayo definitely packs a punch but it's GOOD. It's definitely weird eating beef that's been fried/prepped like Chicken Katsu, but it's a good weird. I enjoyed it. The Nori Fries were tasty, but once they get cold they quickly become McDonald's quality. Meh. Dipping them in that spicy mayo was a GREAT idea though. All in all I'm super glad I got the chance to try this place because it has been on my radar for a while. P.S. They have $20 burgers that are meant as like a food challenge type of thing, if you're brave enough! read more

I've gotten katsu burger several times by now and I keep craving it and coming back for more. I love the godzilla attack burger with the katsu chicken. It's the perfect amount of tang and spice. I've also tried the teriyaki chicken burger. The sweet and sour of the pineapple is great paired with the sweet and salty of the teriyaki and mayo. I also regularly crave their fries with the 12 spice seasoning! They're perfectly crisp and the seasoning is generous. I especially love these fries paired with the spicy mayo. read more

We came a Friday evening for dinner, was surprised to see almost no one there when we walked in. The bar section was closed, but overall had a nice relaxed vibe. I think there was only the cashier and one person in the back making food, but service was good. I got a Samurai Burger, Black Sesame Shake, & Nori Fries. The Kinako & Black Sesame is AMAZING. Burger was good, Nori fries were also really good with the shake. read more

The burger itself wasn't too good because I didn't like the onions in Samurai Select (though I did like the hint of wasabi and the sweetness of the pineapple), but the katsu really made the burger unique and elevated my concept of burgers. I love the extra crunch factor in it! The curry fries were good, but I would probably try a different flavor next time (and it made my fingers smell like curry for hours after even after washing my hands multiple times!!) I also liked the nori mayo--you could really taste the nori--but it didn't go with the curry fries too well in my opinion. I would like to try miso honey mustard next time. read more

Three stars at best... Fries are good, shake was very alright, but the burgers were just dissapointing at best. The joint really focuses on how crunchy they are and I think that's the only reportable thing of note about these burgers. They are pretty flavorless, especially given the price point they are set at. Service was alright, although all of it was online until they bring your food, plus the floors and table were sticky. Bathroom COVERED in graffiti. Do not reccomend coming here. read more
