Keith W.

Absolutely loved the abundance of menu options and choices when it comes to customization. As for the service, it was okay, servers came along every now and then to see if we wanted more water. As for the overall space, and the reason why it's missing a star is because it seemed pretty bland, but it's to be expected given that it's supposed to be a quick in-and-out type meal.

Curry Katsu. (Pork Loin), Miso soup and green tea

Just checked out this Katsu place in Scarborough. Excellent Katsu. Wide variety of sauces including original, curry, spicy and carbonara. I had the pork loin curry and hubby had pork loin original. Both came with wonderfully crispy pork cutlets, rice, shredded cabbage, pickle and ginger. Also came with a lovely smoky miso soup. It's a casual dining option (I don't think they are licensed), service was fine. The food came quite quickly and was excellent. The sauce was also wonderful It's in a small strip mall on the SE corner of Brimley and Sheppard East. Parking on site.

Pretty good Japanese-style deep-fried pork cutlet, curry fish, sweet chili pork loin, cheese topokki, you name it. This time we ordered the following: Carbonara Pork Loin Katsu Japanese Pork Loin Katsu Gold & Silver Brick Cheese Katsu Freshly made to order with nice heat. Crunchy and yet not oily at all. To me, hot and not oily is important for a pleasant deep-fried food experience. Pretty happy about this place as it is worth the money. Good service as well. Check in with the Yelp app and get a free pop too. Pay by cash to get a 10% off. Why not?

After finding out that the Markham location had closed down, we found out Scarborough had one too. Since we were down that way, we decided to go this Valentine's night. There was no wait. Some Uber orders on a table in the middle. Quiet crowd. We got our regular orders. Udon, carbonara fish katsu and a curry fish katsu. All were delicious though we thought there was a slight downsizing of portions compared to our experiences in Markham. Still delicious nonetheless. One thing I would possibly suggest is giving a real, stainless steel spoon rather than a wooden disposable. I know, the chopsticks are disposable wooden ones so why care? It just tastes and feels different eating out of a wooden disposable spoon. We will come back when in the area!

First time trying a katsuya after seeing other locations and seeing good reviews. It's a Japanese katsuya place with interesting fusion-like options. The service was typical of an Asian restaurant, not too much but there when needed! The carbonara katsuya was the most interesting and unique in taste. The chicken karaage was ok, I've had better elsewhere. The ambiance of this particular restaurant was cozy with wooden tables and stools.

Let's paint the scene, personified. Secret late night rendezvous at Katsuya. I am there for one thing, my guilty pleasure named Takoyaki. Much to my chagrin he was unavailable when I called for him. He ran out, possibly with another? He gets around town. So I called on my trusty Miso, since Miso and I go way back. He's been a reliable second draft pick. They told me he went sour. They mumbled something about having issues with Miso. I know, he's a bit of a salty fellow. Miso ran away and they can't find a trace of him. He's nowhere to be found. I moved on fast and asked about Rice, his full name is White Rice. Rice usually comes through when you call him. Rice came and brought his juicy, thick friend Katsu, a traditional fellow, who offered me some crunch and threw in some veg on the side. Katsu was decent, but his friend Rice foiled the affair. On the outside, Rice looked good, but on the inside, Rice became too soft for the job, he became wet behind the ears, others called him mushy. I didn't want to be sentimental and told him quite frankly, I don't like mushy. I told Rice to leave and get his act together. If you're gonna do the job, do it right. I wasn't gonna let that get to me. In the words of Mary J. Blige, I'm not gonna cry, I'm not gonna cry, I'm not gonna shed no tears. Now that it's off my chest. I wrote a poem about the whole affair and I'm moving on. [ lights a fictitious cigar, dims the lights, ends scene ]

Been going here for years and always forget to write a review, whoops! Price Range: Roughly $18-$25 Items Ordered: -Curry Chicken Katsu -Original Pork Katsu -Honeycomb Pork Katsu Food Quality (Menu/Taste/ Portion Size) - 4.5/5 The menu is an ideal size, has a good amount of options for katsu types but not too much where it's overwhelming. I've always loved the original , it's the perfect blend of flavour and thickness. The crispiness of the pork and chicken is always really good. My friend tried the honeycomb katsu for the first time and enjoyed the unique taste. Though prices have gone up over the years because of covid, I think it's still solid value price wise. I'm always more than full after a meal here! Atmosphere - 4/5 A very nice classic Japanese resto design. Not a huge place so netter in small groups and a good place to catchup with friends. Not overly crowded if you go just after the dinner rush which is what we did. Service - 4/5 Service was pretty solid, always have a good experience. We were the last ones there and they didn't rush us out which was really nice. Would I go here again? You know it! Lash's Recommendation - Original Pork Katsu - Pork Carbonara Katsu (warning: this is super rich and filling, I'd recommend sharing)

Lel W.

Outrageous. It would be ZERO if it were allowed. I ordered a set of Gold & Silver Katsu, and my katsu looked sad and pathetic, like someone stole my cheese. I was unsure at first, so I went and had a look at the reviews on Yelp. No one has had anything like that; those katsu were filled with cheese, nothing hollow inside. BTW, it's not authentic Japanese pork katsu. The Japanese one has a better sauce, more tangy, less barbecue sauce-like. Taste-wise speaking, the sauce has quite a strong flavor, overpowering the cheese in the katsu, especially the 'silver' one (mozzarella). Horrible experience, and I know I'm not alone.

Deanne M.

I've had Katsuya many times but this was my first time dining in. There was only one waitress working at the time so it was hard to get their attention when we needed something. Love the katsu from here. I usually get the Katsuya original cheese katsu. The food was great and it also came with miso soup. The prices have gone up quite a bit but that seems like the norm now for most restaurants.

It's been awhile since I last dined in at Katsuya and my first time at this location. Covid protocols were in place where staff ensure you got your double dose and verifying with a piece of photo ID, temperatures were taken upon arrival and you need to complete a form online confirming you're covid free. Tables were also spaced apart for social distancing purposes. I ordered the carbonara fish katsu and it's exactly how I remember it to be! Fresh crispy katsu with a delicious carbonara sauce with pieces of shrimp in there! The portion was large for me and ended up having to take home half of the meal! If you're looking to dine in as the temperature is dropping now, definitely consider this location. If you plan to dine in, do plan your dinner a little earlier to avoid crowds and the wait for a table.

Very good very delicious Katsuya. I will admit it's a bit pricier but they make it worth it. Since I don't usually come out to North York, I went all out on mine, getting the red carbonara katsu with cheese (pork loin w/ mozzarella). Total it added up to 24.25 but the mix of cheese and red carbonara together fit really well together and its probably the best katsu I've ever had. Really loved it and could see myself coming back!

Katsuya Ratings: 4.3/5 Food: 4.75/5 - I heard Katsuya has the best katsu in Toronto from many people and locals, and it definitely didn't let me down. I came here for dinner with my boyfriend and some of his friends. The katsu was so crispy, great quality and huge portions, and we thought it was really worth it. Please read the description of the item I got that night. - Katsuya Original [GET]: I was a bit skeptical and worried about ordering the chicken katsu, since pork is usually the go to for katsu and more juicer and fattier, but Katsuya did it. The chicken breast katsu was so moist and tender, juicier than the pork katsu my boyfriend got. The crust was fried perfectly and crunchy. Katsuya's house sauce was interestingly delicious too. It is made with seasonal fruits, vegetables, and organic herbs; it was definitely on a sweeter side than regular curry. The rice was okay, taste a bit hard and wished it was fluffier. We got the udon soup, because they ran out of miso soup due to supply chain shortage. It was flavorful but too savory / salty for me. - Japanese Katsu [GET]: My boyfriend got the traditional Japanese style katsu with pork loin. The pork loin was not as juicy and fatty as we wanted it to be. It tasted pretty lean, maybe it's the cut of the pork, but it was still very delicious and yummy. It comes with Worcestershire sauce mixed with various vegetables and fruits and sesame seeds. I think the sauce was way too sweet for my liking, so I'd say stick to the original katsu dishes or the curry dishes. The side ingredients are fresh and tangy, just like mine. The rice was also similar, nothing special. Ambiance: 4/5 - Indoor seating is available, but they blocked out half the restaurant off, so it's limited. There's an open kitchen where you can see them prep the food. Interior design is simple, bright, and clean. Make sure to come early to avoid a crowd or make a reservation, since this place gets pretty busy. You go up to the cash register to pay at the end of the meal. Price: 4/5 - My chicken katsu was $18.90, and my boyfriend's pork loin katsu was $17.50 before tax. The portion was quite filling. It comes with an udon soup, white rice with 1 free refill, and some fermented veggies. I was quite full afterwards and didn't need to get that rice refills; don't think any of us did actually. Remember to pay in cash, because you get a 10% discount. Service: 4.5/5 - The staff there was so kind, patience, and awesome. We had a party of 6, but she was able to work efficiently and taken good care of us. She was fast at taking our orders and helped me decide whether to get chicken and pork loin, and I am do glad I listened to her advice. The food came out pretty fast, so I am not complaining. Make sure to check-in on Yelp to get a free soda. BLUF: I absolutely loved katsu, and since Hawaii I wasn't able to find a good spot, but Katsuya was definitely helped satisfied my cravings. The staffs there are so nice and welcoming, and the food is wonderful. This is my go-to spot for whenever I am craving for Japanese Katsu, especially the chicken katsu. They know how to cook their chicken here, so I'd say go for the chicken katsu. I want to return to try their other curry dishes.

I tried the fish Katsu "original" and enjoyed it. Quite filling. Sauce reminded me of a lighter poutine gravy for some reason. Tasty and rich. Portions were good and I got 30% for paying cash. Service was quick and friendly. Fish was super crispy yet light. I enjoyed the pickled veggies on the side. I could pass on the cabbage salad next time but miso soup hit the spot. The sides can fill you up and all together it's a great deal. Will be back to try the other flavours such as Japanese curry and the spicy red sauce.

nice staff and good Definitely a different style of Japanese cuisine where pretty much everything is breaded and deep fried. We just had it a second time and so far, the dishes that we have tried include: Takoyaki, Chicken Karaage (Wings, Thighs), Chicken Katsu (Garlic Spicy) and Pork Loin Katsu (Curry, Sweet Chili). Overall, we enjoyed the food more this time. It was good but, it's all deep fried after all so, I wouldn't say that it's particularly delicious. The first time, we found that the Garlic Spicy Katsu was very overwhelming with chewy and bitter chopped garlic. I would say it again: Give it a try if you fancy something different! read more

Came here on a weekday lunch. The restaurant was about 80% full at some points, but only 1 wait staff which caused for some slower service. The food great, perfect if you want some comfort food. I got the Katsuya Original pork loin, Chicken Karaage Thighs, and Carbonara Udon. The katsu was delicious, crispy batter, sweet and savoury sauce, complemented by rice and lightly dressed cabbage. This alone would have been plenty for lunch. The karaage also hit the spot. Well fried, served with 3 different sauces and some chips in case you wanted more fried stuff. I will definitely get this again. The creamy Carbonara udon was overwhelmingly rich. I am sure having a bunch of friend things with it didn't help, but I could barely take 2 bites. Before needing to eat something else. It tastes good, but I will pass on this next time. read more

We came at 5:30p on a Sunday. No waits and plenty of parking. They have a sign everywhere telling you to check in on yelp to get a free soda. I did that and got myself a Perrier. The menu is pretty standard between the 4 locations. This one didn't seem to serve any alcohol which was just fine for us. We ordered a traditional tender pork katsu and a red carbonara with sweet potato and cheese katsu. The tender pork was beautifully fried with not too much batter and a nice soury taste (from the Worcestershire sauce). The red carbonara was amazing!!! The crunchy part was super good and the taste of the spicy sauce with the cheese and sweet potato was just right. I did add some red pepper flakes as I prefer more heat. The cabbage and miso soup were ok - unlimited refills. I love the rice. It's a short grain japanese rice that is super chewy. I saw the table next to us pack an extra salad and rice to go. I decided to do the same. It was super filling so I only ate half of the katsu and packed it with a fresh portion of rice and cabbage. My $20 dinner just became 2 x $10 meals. I know it won't taste as good tomorrow but good enough! Will be back. The food quality is consistent and the service was decent. read more

I am happy to see that Katsuya opens up a new location in Scarborough! Who does not love some deep fried goodness! The interior is a lot spacious and bright than the other locations I had been to. I still not crazy about the seating but I do like the compartment for bags underneath the chairs. Service was fast and polite. But the lone waiter was overwhelmed by all the customers during lunch rush. We ordered a White Snow and Crabmeat Croquette to shared. One of the reason to eat deep fried food at a specialty restaurant because you know that you cannot get the same result if prepping at home! The batter so crispy and not being oily. And I love all these ooey gooey cheese! 5% off if pay by cash. read more

Every so often I have a craving for katsu and am always glad to head to Katsuya to fulfill that craving. I came across Katsuya many years ago, looking for a place that not only had katsu on their menu but specialized in it. I saw all the options this place offered and settled on Katsuya instantly. During the pandemic one of my cravings hit and I was glad to have found a Katsuya location close by. I wasn't sure how it would taste being take-out but I took a chance and I was glad I did. Though not AS crispy as when you eat-in, the meal was still pretty delicious and crispier than you'd expect. I ordered the original and the meat was cooked perfectly and the sauces all complimented each other. I even got my dad an order and even though he said he wasn't that hungry, he proceeded to eat the entire thing. The great things about Katsuya is the katsu is also not overly oily which some places fail at. Saying that, you finish and you're not feeling super lethargic and oily as one usually would with deep fried food. I haven't tried eating dine-in yet since it opened up again but I will be as soon as the next craving hits. You want katsu? Head to Katsuya, you won't be disappointed. read more

This restaurant is on the smaller side with limited seating. Luckily we didn't have to wait long. I ordered the pork loin curry katsu, and it was big. I was super full after I finished my meal! The batter was light and crispy and the curry was yummy. My kids ordered the Katsuya udon to share, but I felt the amount of udon they got was pretty small for the price. Both kids were still hungry after eating their udon. Normally, when we got to other restaurants and share a meal, they are full from it. Service was a little slow. We did have to ask for extra bowls and spoons twice. We waited a little longer than expected for our meals to come out, but everything came out with a polite smile. read more

Came here for lunch on Monday. The restaurant is bright and modern and they have top 40 (pop & hiphop) playing (a little loud for my taste). The server was very friendly and attentive and you get the typical Japanese getting from all staff as you enter. Most seats are wooden stools and there is banquet seating against the walls. This menu is simple: do one thing and do it well. I ordered the Original Double Cheese (Mozzarella and Cream Cheese) Katsu (Pork) set. The meal also comes with a small heap of rice, thinly sliced cabbage topped with some miso dressing (this was nice), some pink sweet pickled daikon, picked cabbage and miso soup (very good). The pork Katsu was fantastic, the breading was light and super crispy and the pork was tender and juicy. This version with stuffed cheese was ok but I think I'll pass on it next time. It also makes it a bit messy to eat with chopsticks as it falls apart. Their house sauce is definitely interesting. It's not bad imo, but it's of that sweeter savoury type which isn't really my thing. I'm more of a standard tonkatsu type of guy so I'll stick with the plain katsu next time. Overall, I had a great experience here. Good food and good service means I'll definitely be back! read more

Ive been to the north york location way back and now have tried this one in Scarborough. The service was great - attentive and friendly. If you check in at the location they will offer you a free pop. Ordered the red carbonara udon - this one had 5 hot peppers so we asked if we could change it to the least spicy possible - it had a strong pepper kick but it was delicious. Also ordered the cheese pork loin katsu with terrimayo sauce - this was delicious! Juicy and cheesy with a good fried katsu batter.

We've ordered from katsuya a couple times throughout the quarantine, and we've enjoyed it each time. They offered 30% off take out so it was a good deal. Portions are huge, and come with the Katsu, salad, rice, sauce on the side, pickled radish and miso soup. The katsu remained crispy and the sauce was flavourful. We've tried the original curry, hot spicy and white snow chili. We weren't too crazy about the hot spicy. I'd stick with the original. On top of that, everything was very well packaged. Super filling. Would order again. read more

Did this use to be a Coffee Time or was that further down in this plaza? This plaza has been around forever since I was a kid and I've watched it change over the years and sometimes not for the better. However, now it has a Katsuya! I can't think of any other dedicated katsu places in Toronto let alone this area and one of quality. The restaurant interior is very modern although potentially not the most comfortable. Most of the chairs in the restaurant are wooden stools with no backs. There are some banquet seats that are more comfy but that you can't really lean on because of the back being a bit out of reach if you want to eat over the table. The menu is all variations of katsu. Each page showcases a katsu of a different sauce and there are options on each page for the types of katsu (chicken, pork) or toppings (cheese, extra cheese). All of their katsu come with unlimited soup and cabbage and one rice refill. I think that's why the menu can come off seeming a little bit pricey. Remember when I said it was pricey? I got a huge slab of chicken which is also probably another reason why it is expensive. The cabbage slaw was very finely chopped and had just a smidge of dressing on it to give it a bit of flavour. It was the perfect refreshing compliment to go with the fried katsu. I got to try a bit of the katsuya udon which had a good broth base and lots of interesting toppings. There is a check-in offer on Yelp for a free can of pop and they were okay with honouring multiple ones for the same table (we did 2 for a table of 5). read more

I love Katsuya because I don't think it's possible to leave here without a full stomach! You get free refills of miso soup and cabbage salad plus one refill of rice which easily justifies the price. I rarely finish my meal too so I always pack it up and I'd have a snack/light meal for later. The menu might seem pricey at first but you do get your money's worth here. $20 for a full meal and a half, I'll take it! I usually order the chili katsu with cheese. The sauce brings a sweet and tangy element that helps cut down the fattiness and the katsu is always perfectly crisp and tender. Service is quick and attentive as well. You'd be hard-pressed to find something to complain about here. Good value, consistent and delicious food, and great service. This location (and Katsuya in general) gets an easy 5/5 from me! read more

Ooo first time coming here and decided to try this place based on the reviews. The portions here are massive and would be better for dinner for someone who doesn't eat a lot for lunch. I got the fish with original sauce and it was perfectly fried and not oily at all. The original sauce was light and the cabbage salad was okay, it needed a bit more salad dressing on it. The rice portion is small but I'm glad they don't give too much as you are allowed one free refill. The miso soup was good too and was not overly salty. read more

Great prices, friendly staff, nice atmosphere and space. You also get a free soft drink when you check in, so that's a great offer! I had the ramen, which I loved! Not overly salty. I can't wait to try their carbonara udon next time! My friend and I are pescatarians, hence why I got the udon. Luckily they have FISH Katsuya here which we are thankful for. My friend ordered the fish Katsuya and loved it! I was a little skeptical to try, but it was great. Sauce was delicious and serving sizes are huge!m for the price! None of us could finish our food. Our boyfriends ordered the chicken Katsus, my boyfriend got the chilli sauce one. Both of them loved their orders. All orders come with refillable miso soup & who doesn't love miso soup? We will most definitely be back! read more

Oh my oh my, I think I found out where I would like to live for the rest of my life & it is in the MIDDLE of this restaurant. First off, the place is super convenient and located in a swanky little plaza. The venue itself isn't too big, probably with around 10-15 seats, but it's very cozy and comfortable! The service is also INCREDIBLE, like I swear I could give my dog to the servers and they'd take care of it and feed it and everything. Super nice staff, 10/10 pickled radishes all the way. The food is also great; it's rare for me to come so often to a place but my God, the heavens must have blessed their food. I would 100% recommend the Karaage Chicken. They give you a variety of sizes and the plate portion is HUGE! You can eat this alone and be absolutely stuffed. I also ordered the classic Katsuya of course (duh) and the portions were also great for this. I'm not even ashamed I've come here at least 5 times already since it's opened. 10/10 I will see you all there once again. (I totally don't have a problem....) read more

This place is definitely one of my go-to's. They used to have unlimited soup refills with dine-in but now it's one free refill for rice and soup. They were giving their udon soup because they ran out of miso but it was still good. I always get their original katsuya and it's consistently good, especially the sauce. More recently i've been getting their korean chicken thighs as well - the sauce is a standout although could be spicy for some. You get 10% off if you pay cash for both dine-in and takeout and free pop if you post and tag them on social media. read more

This place is a little different than the other location in downtown. The gave large portions and it's got a great menu. Service wasn't as good at this location. Tried the fried squid balls. With a spicy carbonara katsu and spicy carbonara udon. It was very thick this time and a little on the sweet side. I would call it ok but my partner thought it was not appetizing. The server saw that but just said sorry put some rice in it. That wasn't the best fix. I don't know like I said it was ok, I've been to other locations and they have been good. Maybe just had an off day. read more

Enjoyed the intimacy and decor of the restaurant. I got the white snow spicy katsu, curry katsu and the chicken karage. All very delicious but a bit expensive for what you get in my opinion. Prices also very between different meats from $14.50 to $18.00. However, you do get unlimited cabbage salad, rice and miso but that's just filler. Karage was okay, but was nice that it came with different sauces as well with chips. White snow spicy katsu sauce was good, tasted like it was a tomato base and has a bit of a kick. Curry katsu sauce was alright but was not my choice. Wish there was more sauce and not have them charge me additional. Overall, it's a nice to try meal or for a special occasion. read more

Had high hopes for this place given the ratings but was sadly disappointed. Yes, they give you a fair bit of meat, but the quality was really lacking. Three of us found that the pork tasted like it was frozen and refrozen, really making the texture and taste of the meat subpar. The chicken also had the texture and taste of the type of chicken you'd get from MacDonald's. Sort of chewy, mushy, tasteless. We all got the original sauce. I thought the sauce was good - slightly tangy and sweet. My dining partners were not impressed and said we should go back to Mr. Tonkatsu next time. read more

Reason for Visit: As a Yelper in deep financial debt, it is important to take advantage of 50% off promotions. Menu: Tried their white snow spicy katsu pork loin (half price off is ~$8), my goodness. So at this price, doesn't really matter much what they serve and I will probably still be satisfied. Anyhow, I've been to Katsuya a few times before so I knew exactly what I was getting. Quality as usual, was superb. Pork was fried fresh and hot/tasty. Very tender meat. Sauce was a bit on the cold side but understandable since it is so busy. Probably made a huge batch and just let it sit. The cheese didn't melt on top, but again, whatever, you are paying $8. Got some extra miso soup and rice. Bottom line is, if they do this promo every week, I probably would be here every week. Service: This is something that I definitely have to comment on. The male Korean manager handled the promotion really well despite the massive traffic and people complaining/whining. Unfortunately, some people gave the manager a lot of attitude for running out of pork katsu. I don't know what people were thinking coming late, close to when store is closing and expecting that they have enough inventory on a 50% promo day where the line was so long average wait time over 1 hour. So big shoutout to the manager. I had to applaud the guy's efforts when I was paying the bill. The manager was making instant noodles for his own dinner to eat at 10pm when store is closing. That is true dedication and love for his business. Atmosphere: Like other Katsuya locations. Not too much space, a lot of tables/benches. Not much waiting space. Overall: Very good katsu but normal price is on the higher end ~$17 per dish. However, quality does justify it and unlimited salad/miso soup/ 1 extra rice does make up for it. For half price, definitely worth coming if you got time to kill. Pro tip: check in on Yelp for a free soft drink! read more

I love Katsuya. I've long been a fan of their perfectly fried meats (and fish!) with their yummy sauces. It's a very simple concept, and I've never been disappointed by them (regardless of the branch). This was my first time at the Scarborough location (which so happens to be the closest one to me now, yay!) and they are as good as the other locations. Good food with good quick service. We went with the fish katsu (traditional, with no sauce) which I highly recommend. I'm not sure how many people order this. Seems very underrated, especially the traditional, which comes with their version of a sweet tartar sauce). The fish is flakey and light, almost airy. Great texture. The other one we went for was the pork tender with the katsuya original sauce. Tip: get it on the side, so you can tip your other proteins in them too :) The pork was lean and very tender. Portion sizes always impress when served (it's HUGE). Things seemed to have changed a little bit from last time I visited one. This time you are limited to one extra serving of rice as opposed to unlimited. However, the cabbage slaw and miso soup are still AYCE. It's a lot of food so it really doesn't change anything. Service is always very pleasant and quick. read more

First time at Katsuya! We had a great experience because it was fast service & the waitress was polite. We ordered the following: * Crab croquette - came in 5 pieces & they were bigger than we expected. The sauce was delicious and the breading was crispy! It was mushy inside once bitten. * Spicy garlic chicken - came with rice, cabbage salad, and soup. Garlic toppings were a bit chewy (& preferred it that way), chicken was tender. * original chicken - came with the same things as the above item. Regular tasting. Overall, we would go back again but I would say that the food doesn't really stand out. Very similar taste to other places that serve practically the same food. read more

First to know is you can't pay with credit card here--there's an ATM in the front of the restaurant. As far as the restaurant goes, it was fantastic from start to finish. Our table of 4 was seated and serviced by 1 main staff member, Lydia, who talked us through the whole menu and ordering system, recommended some great starts and then kept us frequently updated all throughout dinner. She checked up on us along with her assistants who were also bringing items and servicing the table. The food quality was excellent with juicy and flavorful cuts of beef along with the shrimp, pork, veggies, side dishes/ponchon, and rice--it kept coming consistently. Grill changes were frequent as well. The atmosphere is lively and there are a lot of servers so you aren't trying get someone's attention all the time. But it doesn't feel too cramped at the same time. As it is AYCE, everyone in our group left full of course and enjoyed each course. I liked the almond tofu at the end! ----TL;DR---- Pros: great selection of meats, quality was top notch, huge portions of course as it is AYCE, service was prompt and all staff were really friendly. Cons: no reservations so need to be on a waitlist. The no credit card system is a bit of an inconvenience. Bottom Line: we loved it--definitely would go back again and enjoy more of their selections! You have to try them if you like meat and AYCE!

It's my go-to spot to get my don fix - I love the wide variety of dons (rice bowls) that they offer with various fish and seafood combinations. There are also unique appetizers in the menu, such as Purple Yam Croquettes, Crab Crackers, Braised Bamboo Shoots with Shirasu (immature whitebait fish), and Takowasa (marinated raw octopus pieces, to be eaten with or wrapped in nori / seaweed). Although the dons are the main highlight of their menu (hence the restaurant name), they also offer traditional sushi, sashimi, sushi rolls and sets (similar to other Japanese sushi restaurants). Miso Aburi Scallops were very flavourful - nicely torched, giving the scallops a nice grill / char taste. They came with red and green seaweed, and a bit of fish roe. Large Premium Hana Don contained a good amount of fish and seafood, including a whole abalone, uni, shrimp in the shell, aburi salmon, ikura (salmon roe), salmon sashimi, tuna sashimi, yellowtail sashimi, other various fish sashimi, tamago (egg), and a few slices of cucumber on a generous bed of rice. I liked that the rice was a mix of white rice and some type of dark-coloured grains. Unatama Don came with a big piece of unagi and tamago (egg) that were both excellent. The sashimi were all fresh. Okonomiyaki was disappointing but it was sort of expected... for only $9, it was about 99% just flour pan-fried in a patty, without any substantial fillings (unlike real okonomiyaki, which usually contains protein / seafood, cabbage, eggs, and other ingredients).

The sauce was nice and creamy. Not as truffley as I thought it would be, wish it was a little more but it was still pretty good Oyster - least favorite of all the dishes we got today. It was a bit sour and the cheese felt like it didn't really help the flavor profile of the oysters. It was super oily from the cheese, felt like it was drowning in cheese/oil flavor Cod - it looks good but something is lacking, maybe in taste? Feel like maybe the marinade did not penetrate enough. The texture is still nice and soft , with a crisp skin . Also was a bit too oily for our liking, compared to other miso cod we have had. It was also a relatively smaller piece of cod.

Food is great but service has been awful last 2 times I've visited. I got the same waitress both times, her name was Christine. 1. She kept grabbing and trying to take away my mother's plate which still had a lot of uneaten chicken karaage on it. Even when my mother told her she wasn't done and placed her hands on the plate, the waitress tried pulling it from under my mom's hands. What part of "no, I'm not done. wait" is so confusing??? 2. She is a very inattentive waitress and walks away while you are talking to her. Constantly have to wave for her to come over to our table. 3. Both times, she forgot the 5% discount we get if we pay by cash.. 4. Last time I went, after we finished ordering I stacked mine and my father's menus and handed it to her. She stood there and kept tellingm y mother to give her her menu instead of.. just walking around the table.. RUDE waitress.. so incredibly uncomfortable eating there. read more

Mmm delicious!!! Katsuya provides really great quality service and food. Youre immediately welcomed when you enter the door. All staff cooks included. Their food is rich, filling and will definitely satisfy your hunger. They have a dish to please any palette. I personally looove their Spicey Garlic Katsu its so tasty and I can finish it in seconds, their potions will make your tummy so happy. They have unlimited refills on Miso soup and their Salad which helps cut through the richness of the gravy and helps refresh your palette. However they only have 1 refill of rice per person which you will tend to run out of because their Katsudon is huuge. The price is quite high but it is a nice treat once in awhile. I reccomend eating there just because I find the portions better and your bang for your buck. read more

The last day of the 50% off special was about a week ago and my oh my was it busy. We got there for dinner and waited a good maybe 1.5 hours to get seated. Service was fast but they forgot to give us water. It's ok though because we made use of the Yelp check-in special to get a free soft drink! I ordered the Katsuya original since it was my first time trying this place. It was crispy and warm but I felt like the house sauce was a little too sweet for my liking (though I guess that means the fruits and vegetables they use for it are sweet and ripe ‍). I enjoyed the miso soup and salad a lot; I'm amazed that they offer unlimited refills of this plus one free refill of the rice! Sweet deal if I say so myself! read more

Katsuya's tonkatsu offers a delightful culinary experience. The pork cutlet is expertly breaded and fried to perfection, resulting in a crispy exterior while maintaining juicy tenderness inside. The accompanying tonkatsu sauce adds a sweet and savory flavor that complements the dish beautifully. Served with a side of cabbage and rice, it provides a satisfying and well-balanced meal. The portion size is generous, ensuring you leave feeling satisfied. Overall, Katsuya's tonkatsu is a delicious rendition of this classic Japanese dish, sure to please any discerning palate. read more

It's hard to select only one dish but the teriyaki fish is one of my favorites. The fish is very light and juicy. The honey butter fries are super tasty as well. read more
