Food was great, portions were decent, I wish they would have cut up the meat little more chunks were huge and plastic silverware/chopsticks . It's inside a busy bar so we elected to sit outside and the tables moved around a lot. We hade the sirloin and the pork katsu bowls with rice and cabbage we were looking forward to the noodle bowls but they were crossed off the menu. Overall great spot hope they get a spot of their own cause I think this could be a great place. read more

I really enjoyed the Mushroom Katzu plate. Perfectly crispy and well seasoned. Even the rice was perfectly seasoned . They didn't have the complimentary miso soup (said was seasonal). They carry vegan mayo and made vegan spicy mayo for me. Note that when ordered vegan, the cabbage salad didn't come with dressing as it contains non vegan mayo. I also enjoyed trying the leek onigiri. It was counter service. They have some outdoor tables outside on the road. I definitely want to come back for that mushroom katzu plate, particularly when the miso soup is back too. My general rating system: 1 star: I would stay away 2 stars: Has some good things about it but I generally don't recommend. 3 stars: Pretty good. I wouldn't go out of my way to go back but a decent place 4 stars: Great place. I would go back. 5 stars: I highly recommend stopping whatever you are doing and making plans to try it out! An Evie favorite! read more

I have been wanting to come to this place ever since they opened and I finally did Food tasted just like home. I was especially pleased with their onigiris (not pictured). I can't wait to try their sandos next time. Note that the food does take long to come out because they make their food from scratch. They do state that up front as you walk in. Something to keep in mind in case you are in a rush. read more

The vibe in this place is really cool! People are here doing puzzles, there is live music, it's fun on a Friday. Lots of space here so doesn't feel cramped. The service was okay.. we waited about an hour for our food which was rough, it definitely seemed like it comes out slowly. The actual food itself was good. We got the Katsu plate with chicken thighs, and the katsu don with pork. Also ordered the furikake fries. I felt the fries were very average. Not super flavorful. The katsu was good! Rice could've been more fresh, but not disappointed. Mostly wish the service was better. Not worth an hour wait in my opinion. Prices are reasonable! read more

Located in Brick Box Brewery off Broadway, the space is open and stylish with a laid back vibe. Katsu House operates within the venue, tucked to the side of the bar. For takeout they offer a selection of ready-made Onigiri. If you're ordering off the menu, you will place your order at the bar. The owners are the same folks behind Fatboy Sando. As for the food, the Onigiri was ok. The spicy tuna had some strong spices and the Hambagu was a hamburger patty with rice. We also shared the Katsudon pork bowl,which was a generous portion - enough for two. Overall, it's a great place to grab a drink and a bite to eat. read more

Food is a 5/5! I'm truly obsessed with the quality and flavor. Service has been a learning curve... I've been 3 times and only got to eat once. The first time we waited 45 minutes for our food. The second time we waited longer and asked them to cancel our order because we had to go. The third time it was about two hours before close and they were out of everything except some onigiri in the fridge. Not sure what the hold up is, but just keep all that in mind when wanting to try Katsu house. read more

Really nice staff. Who was helpful suggesting what I loved. I really miss Japanese food. And while it's not exactly what you're getting in Japan. It was close enough to bring back some nostalgia. I would definitely come back here. read more

First time here and I'm excited to go back! I got the vegan katsu plate w/ added caramelized onions and the mushroom was cooked so perfectly I'm so happy (I've had too many bad portobello mushroom dishes at restaurants so I'm always a bit cautious). It was crispy outside with the panko and cooked so it wasn't too wet or chewy inside the mushroom. The portions were a great size for the price (about $11) and the rice seasoning was really good I wish there was more of it throughout the rice. This was inside of brick box brewery but the brewery part was closed so the only drinks offered were the Katsu house ones. The inside is spacious but we did go mid morning on a weekday so there weren't many people to fill the space up. read more

Katsu House - Pork Katsu Sando - Japanese Near Me - Tucson, Arizona

All I can say woooow !!!!!!! I was completely blown away by how good their food is ! I got pork katsu plate with curry mayo and let me tell you, it's prob one of the best I ever have. Their pork katsu is juicy and moist and they did not over cook the meat. The meat was tender that I feel like crying when I was eating it. Rice was moist and not dry, they make the Asian way correctly. Dressing for the cabbage was good. Everything tasted perfect. I also have their fruit sando and it was good. I would give this place a 10/10 and this is coming from me who was born in Taiwan and grew up there. I am generally picky with Asian food since I also cook and have traveled a lot. This place def capture my heart and I am going to be a regular from now on. Highly recommend this spot to anyone ! read more

Katsu House - Pork katsu ! 10/10 coming from an Asian born and grew up in Taiwan - Japanese Near Me - Tucson, Arizona

Staff were nice, me and my friend both got the Katsu chicken plates to go and they were so good! Plus they have little onigiris you can grab at checkout too, they were good also, though they still don't compare to the authentic Japanese onigiris. Overall it was great but I would say it took a bit for them to cook the food since it wasn't so busy but worth the wait! read more

From the Bay, to, Honolulu, to LA this is hands down the best Katsudon I've had. The value and flavor is obscene. Service was a little bit more tricky, but the food itself was worth the wait. Had no clue Tucson had game like this. read more

Katsu House - Crispy pork katsudon with the Sonoran hot dog - Japanese Near Me - Tucson, Arizona

Pros: the sandwiches we ordered we objectively delicious. Little pricey for what it was but just really tasty overall. Cons: I'm not a service snob by any means. Waiting 50 minutes for two sandwiches when it's not busy at all is craaaazy. I want to like them because it tastes so good, but based on what we ordered, this should have been like ten minutes at the absolute max when you consider that there were only a few other people there. Service like this is why people cringe when they see a tip screen when they order at a counter. Anyways, good food but not sure if I'm gonna give it another chance unfortunately. read more

Was excited to see a new Japanese spot in town. I got the Steak Katsu Rice Plate. It was bomb. Meat had a lot of flavor and the breading was great. Fries were hot and fresh and the sauce options are nice. read more

We stopped by the Katsu House while in Tucson on the 4th of July. I decided to try the Katsudon Steak Bowl. The portion size was fair and the presentation looked appetizing. The steak had great flavor. Overall, the dish was great but the onions made it a bit underwhelming. The sauce was great and the rice was perfect. Service was decent, the bartender could have been friendlier, it seemed like he was overwhelmed or didn't want to be there. The tables were a little under cleaned (sticky), appeared as if it was a quick wipe down. I wouldn't say it was a bad experience, just not particularly memorable for me. I might give them another try and explore a different dish next time. Solid spot if you're craving something filling or looking to try some draft beer but not a standout for me. read more

Such a great atmosphere and friendly staff. The food was pretty good overall. Definitely will be back in the near future and will bring some friends in tow. read more

The Katsu chicken bowl is insanely delicious. My wife said the hotdog here is the best she has ever had, and I have never felt so emasculated. Cool little spot with uniquely delicious menu items. Highly recommend read more

Great food and great service! Will be back for sure! I got the Katsudon pork bowl and it was amazing.

This place is okay. Food was good, I got the Katsudon bowl with steak. It was good and a big portion. It was flavorful but got old pretty quickly. My partner had the chicken katsu sandwich which was good, the milk bread made the sandwich. We had Furakake fries and they were very good, nice and crispy. Service was weird, not really any service, you have to walk up to the bar and order there. They will sell you individual cans of soda which I thought was weird since I am at a bar. Ordered spicy mayo and a soda afterwards and never got the mayo, had to go and ask for it again. Brewery ambiance, very large with a lot of seating, didn't really notice good music playing. Overall glad I tried it but probably wouldn't go back. read more

Food was mediocre and place wasn't clean. They have some beers on tap, but they weren't that great either. The condiment station wasn't filled or clean. read more

The food was amazing! The Katsudon was perfect, the fries were delicious (especially the sauce), and their hamburger bowl was bomb!
