At Epcot, this is one of my favorite quick service restaurants -- reasonably priced and tasty! Their portions are small, but I don't mind since I love eating "around the world." My go-to is their shrimp udon. The dining room is bright and welcoming, but they also have tons of outdoor seating in their gardens. Service is always wonderful! read more

Alright food at the Disney World Japan Pavilion. We just stopped for a quick eat and got the katsu curry and the tempura udon. This places get a 2.5/5. The place was a bit small of an establishment and packed with people during lunch so it was a little difficult finding a spot to sit for lunch. Definitely had to wait a bit for people to leave but nothing too difficult. Because it is super hot in Florida, it can get a little hot in the building with so many people packed inside. Ordering was easy enough and the menu was clear. The establishment itself was quite quaint and cute for a Japanese themed restaurant. There was a big shared bench in the center for multiple parties to sit at but it definitely got messy at times as people would only clean so much after themselves. There were seats outside but it was much too hot for that. The food is not bad but it definitely tasted like boxed curry and basic udon. I didn't mind the food too much but pretty basic for costing $13.50 and $12 respectively. Just an alright and quick eat, nothing too special. read more

Katsura Grill - Katsu curry and udon - Japanese Near Me - Lake Buena Vista, Florida

Ate here since we were craving something tasty. Ordered the chicken teriyaki plate and the tonkotsu. I liked the soups but the chicken teriyaki was disappointing. It only had a few pieces of broccoli and there was barely any sauce or flavor. Wasn't a huge fan of that. Staff were nice and welcoming though. Essentially nowhere to sit inside. It's so small. There's a few tables outside but no one really wanted to sit out there in the heat. read more

Quick service and pleasant indoor seating, though limited. Prices/portion size seemed in-line with Disney. Unfortunately, the food (Chicken/Beef Teriyaki) was bland and didn't taste freshly prepared. I would not return and I do not recommend. read more

Delicious quick lunch! Two of us had the chicken Katsu curry and the other two had the teriyaki chicken bowls. They were both very yummy! The Katsu chicken was crispy on the outside and juicy chewy on the inside. The curry was perfectly spiced. Kind of sweet as well. (Completely different than Indian curry, no comparison) The teriyaki chicken was juicy and flavorful! My wife and daughter loved it! We sat outside and enjoyed the sunshine on their patio. Real comfortable place to go eat and rest up walking around Epcot. read more

The food here stinks and you can't order ahead online Only thing that I would consider getting again would be the chicken katsu curry The ramen came with a deli meat thick slice of pork, broth was decent The beef in the udon and teriyaki is probably the same pulled meat they use for their bbq in other Disney restaurants. Also pulled meat in Japanese food is super weird Food is made decently fast You get what you pay for I guess read more

It's ok. Very busy and challenging to get a table. Max and I shared the ramen pork. Not much flavor. My plum wine was good and Max's beer was a Kirin. There is a long table in the center that I think is is what I call the friendly table. Only sit here if you are willing to bump elbows with someone you don't know. I was lucky and my lunch partner was a young college kid. The other guy on the right elbow is someone that I have known for 36 years. read more

Small eat in restaurant as well as outside seating right in Epcot in Disney! I love the set up very Japanese vibes, the structural buildings are amazing here! Not to mention the food is very good also lol. I had the Ramen with vegetables only and tempura shrimp. I would recommend getting the tempura shrimp on the side instead of in the soup because it does get a little soggy. The beef and chicken and broccoli I was told was really good. I also tried the Violet sake drink, and it was amazing! The staff is very friendly, speaking multiple languages, which I thought was very impressive. read more

First time I've tried ramen! Thanks to my daughter, I'm now a fan! We sipped yummy saki and enjoyed food here. Sat in the lovely gardens.

This place seems to get an unfairly bad rap. It is pricy for a lunch spot, but not really out of line by Disney standards. Everything we tried was hot, fresh, and tasty. Curry Udon was excellent (pro tip: order a side of white rice to soak up extra curry), and the Violet Sake cocktail was well-balanced and pleasant. Additional pro-tip: it's much nicer for ambiance if you take your food a bit down the hill and eat in the bamboo grove! read more

Stopped by for lunch since my daughter likes udon. The line was long but it moved fast and food came out quickly. The restaurant had both indoor and outdoor seating. It's wasn't too spacious but just enough seatings to accommodate both large and small parties. We found a table quickly as most people don't just hang out once they are done. We ordered Yuzu miso wings, chicken cutlet curry, sushi combo, shrimp tempura udon & Kyoho Calpico drink. Curry was ok but chicken was bland. Chicken wings are a tad salty and sushi combo was decent. It's was ok food for an amusement park. read more

Of all the quick service restaurants in Epcot, Katsura Grill ranks lower on my list. There's limited seating and half of it is outside, which becomes problematic if it rains. I got the spicy tuna roll, a cup of miso soup, and a cherry blossom tea Pilsner. The spicy tuna roll was weird. The "tuna" filling had a scratchy texture and appeared to be dyed red. I don't expect great fish quality here, but this was not adequate. The miso soup was basic and definitely not worth the $4 I spent for it. The beer was good and a nice portion. Overall, there are just better places to eat in the park. read more

The food at Epcot is pretty good and this place is no exception. It's located in the Japan section of Epcot and it basically looks like a smaller temple. It was busy when I went but we were able to grab a table pretty quickly. This was also a nice change of pace from burgers and chicken at the other parks. I'll definitely be back to eat here again. read more

(Overall: D) - This place is one of the few casual places in the world showcase with indoor seating and as a result is quite packed. Unfortunately though, I felt like the food missed the mark on several occasions, with nothing particularly positive to point out. (Yuzu Miso Wings: D) - I was quite excited for this flavor combination with the acidic and saline contrast; the first bite actually took me back to the yuzu miso sauce from Trader Joes. Unfortunately, I cannot understate how overly salty every subsequent bite was, and this is coming from someone who generally likes saline forward foods. (Shrimp Tempura Udon: D) - Every component of this dish tasted like it came from an instant mix or previously frozen and thawed except the green onion, which is not necessarily an issue, but in this instance does not even bring the comfort that normally comes from a quick frozen dinner.

Arriving on our first day of Disney, my family and I were more than happy to come to Japan as one of our first stops. Unfortunately, that was the same idea as many other people since they were a long line outside of the door by the time we got there. We ended up waiting about 20-30 minutes before we were able to place our order so it gave us ample time to decide what we wanted. The food came out in under 10 minutes. The Shrimp tempura udon had a perfect chewy texture in a flavorful clear beef broth. Make sure to eat the tempura quickly or at least take it out of the broth right away since it will get soggy. The impossible bao bun was a little underwelming and overcooked since it is steamed up until it is served. The chicken cutlet curry was rich and thick with crispy pieces of fried chicken. To top it off, I thoroughly enjoyed my violet sake which was sweet lightly spiked. Overall, I had a good time and enjoyed the Japanese inspired decoration. Would love to come again! read more

Reasonably priced for theme park food but taste falls flat. I ordered the shrimp tempura udon and the broth was a bit too salty. My friend ordered the beef and chicken with rice and the sauce was also very salty. Dining space is small but at least it's inside with AC. Staff was friendly and service was quick. read more

While at Epcot, we stopped here to grab a quick bite. We ordered a tempura udon, ramen, spicy tuna rolls, and katsu curry. Tempura udon was okay...noodles slightly overcooked but edible. Broth was also okay...green onions brought extra flavor. Ramen was okay...nothing special but good enough. My son said it almost tasted like one of those instant Japanese Ramens and they added items to do ‍...so edible...nothing spectacular. I think the best dish was by far the Katsu Curry...that was delicious and the rice and curry was spot on. If you are planning on stopping by for a bit...I recommend the Katsu Curry! read more

The Katsura Grill is located in the Japanese Pavilion that is near the water stream. I really liked how it has indoor and outdoor seating. We waited in a line to order food. Then we wait for our number to be called to pick up our food. We ordered Spicy roll, Shrimp Tempura Udon, Yuzu Cheesecake. The spicy roll tasted like the quality of grocery store sushi which wasn't that great. The shrimp tempura was good but the udon was pretty plain tasting. The Yuzu cheesecake was ok. I really liked the use of yuzu in this dish. We put our trays up on a rack when we were done. read more

I was really disappointed with my experience at this restaurant. My son ordered the Tonkotsu Ramen, which was just overpriced at $17 - it was basically just ramen from college days, but with a hefty price tag. As for the Vegetable Udon, it was a total letdown. It was swimming in soy sauce and was unfortunately not edible, so we ended up tossing it. Given the number of great dining options in Epcot, would recommend walking by this place and exploring other options. Perhaps it's just not up to par with the rest of the park's offerings. read more

I can't believe I've lived here for nine years and it's taken me so long to come here! Finally decided to as it's a rainy day and I wanted to try something new. First, on a rainy day the dining area is super limited. This normally isn't a problem in Florida as there's a decent amount of seating outside. But none of it is covered so when it's pouring inside is the only option. And it was packed! I was lucky to be able to get a table because no one was in line when I came in but I noticed a lot of people were waiting for tables by the time I left. I got the Tonkatsu Pork Ramen. It was super flavorful, warm and delicious, perfect for this cool, stormy Florida day. It could've used a little more pork but I was really happy with the portion of noodles and scallions. The pickled ginger wasn't for me but everything else was great. I'll definitely be adding this into my regular Epcot stops in the future. read more

Japanese food at Epcot! It was delicious and I felt, for a moment, like I was back in Japan again. The staff all were Japanese and added to the ambience. The food tasted authentically Japanese and the outdoor patio area definitely reminded me of restaurants I've eaten at in Japan. Of course here you wait in line and order and then wait for your number to be called and find a seat at a table in the small but crowded space indoors. read more

My friends and I chose Katsura Grill for lunch. Off to the side, I think this place is easy to miss which is great because there was plenty of seating during peak lunch hour. Serving a variety of sushi, noodle dishes, and rice plates, the menu is pretty straightforward with not much variety. For $16, I ordered the Chicken and Beef Teriyaki: served with Steamed Rice and Mixed Vegetables. The best thing about this dish was probably the steamed rice and that's a high compliment from me, a rice connoisseur. The chicken is probably the second best thing on this plate and the beef was an epic fail. The beef is shredded beef, similar to, or probably identical to, the BBQ beef used to make sandwiches. I've had a lot of Asian stir-fry in my life and never have I ever had pulled beef. The sauce was incredibly salty which was oddly okay for the bland chicken but not for the pre-seasoned beef. If I had to do it again, I would order the chicken only and skip the beef. However, there's so many other great dishes to eat at EPCOT that is is probably worth skipping altogether. read more

If you're looking for a change in scenery and a break from theme park food, don't miss out on Katsura Grill in EPCOT! While not the best Japanese food to exist, I will say that it is quite solid. It's our go to spot when it's that point in the trip where you just neeeeeeeed Asian food. I can recommend the sushi, shrimp tempura udon, tonkatsu ramen, and the sushi! Unfortunately there is no mobile ordering here however service is relatively quick and very friendly! Seating can fill up quickly indoors especially during rainy season. If you do come on a sunny day, the outside garden is very peaceful and a nice sensory break from the theme parks. read more

If you're looking for ramen this place is good!! I only ate the noodles though, I was not a fan of the soup base tho so I didn't drink much of the soup. The portions are on the smaller side too if you are looking for a quick bite to eat. But it's a good place to try if you are looking for something hot on the colder nights walking around! The place is small if you want to eat inside. read more

Katsura Grill is located it Epcot's Japan. I was craving some Japanese food while in Disney World, and Katsura Grill did not disappoint! My boyfriend and I shared the Chicken Cutlet Curry and the Yuzu Miso Wings, and we were pleasantly surprised. The rice was good quality and dishes tasted authentic! The only interesting thing was the broccoli that was served with the curry (I am usually used to carrots as a vegetable served with curry), but I was pleasantly surprised with the broccoli. The wings were tasty, and had a nice crisp to them! Highly recommend trying it out. read more

I'm a creature of habit and each time I visit Epcot, I always come back to Katsura Grill for their chicken cutlet curry rice bowl. Portion is big enough to get you comfortably full. This is a quick service food spot with basic sushi rolls, ramen, udon, chicken bowls. Take a look at the My Disney Experience App for the most update menu items. I gave this a 4 star rating because there were only 4 small strips of chicken. Also, it's a pretty small indoor dining area so if you come here during peak times...it may be difficult to find a spot. read more

This counter service restaurant is located inside the Japan Pavillion of EPCOT at the top of the stairs. You take the stairs to the right of the Koi Pond up two levels and you will see what resembles a house. There are alcoholic beverages here as well as soft drinks, etc. This is where I found the Sappora beer I wanted to try. It was excellent! I ordered the Chicken Cutlet Curry + Sappora beer. The Chicken Cutlet was perfect! Such tender and juicy chicken lightly breaded. The curry was good, it could have been HOTTER, and maybe not as bland, but it paired well with the rice and chicken. There are a few veggies thrown in (carrots & cauliflower) but it was filling and a great lunch. There are additional items on the menu like sushi and teriyaki chicken and shrimp. Tables are inside and outside on the patio - as well as down a level to the right , which are pretty much hidden. read more

This was my go-to spot in epcot for water. I went during the food and wine festival. There was a long line at a different shop in front of the grill that was selling drinks in the Japan section so we went here instead and it was the same quality but a shorter wait. The Tokyo Sunset was the best drink I had in epcot. It was perfectly balanced but still had a fruity sweet taste. I also had low expectations for the ramen and was pleasantly surprised at how good it was. Everyone in my group including myself drank all of the broth we had since we enjoyed it so much. The service was super friendly. They were also efficient and made the drinks quickly. It didn't take long to order and get our food. There was also plenty seating inside and outside the restaurant. I will definitely come back here the next time I visit. read more
