Mini-me 2.0 approved. Grabbed snacks to share at the mall food court and it wasn't too busy. Usual mall traffic and chill atmosphere as expected. Food ready in a few minutes. Kiddo selected mozzarella & potatoes on a stick w/ fries combo. I'm not too keen about her putting so much ketchup, but she likes her snacks how she likes her snacks. We usually see eomma minding the store when we stop by. She is kind and lets us know how much time before the order is ready, which gives us a few minutes to grab a tea beverage from the Monk next door. They seem to be doing well enough so far. I've noticed at least five different unfortunate snack spots go belly up for whatever reasons since the pandemic. read more

I had a pretty good corn dog from this Korean Fry House at the Parkway Plaza Food Court. I ordered the Premium Beef Corn Dog or the #2 for $5.29 plus tax. The corn dog was good. The beef dog inside was tasty and the batter on the outside was crispy, although the inside of the batter could have used a little more time in the fryer. You can add a variety of toppings and sauces to the corn dog. I went with just mustard and garlic powder. It was a good flavor combination. The older gent running the counter was friendly. read more

My wife and I were walking the mall and stumbled on Katzya, what a find!! If you've ever watched Japanese street food on YouTube this is very similar. My wife had the hotdog covered in rice batter with panko deep fried! DING! They are all beef and large. I went for the #17 spicy chicken wings. SNAP! Outstanding! It's hard to find good wings but they have them. We will be back as they have a large selection of hotdogs and wings. If you're in El Cajon and want to try something different, this is the place, we highly recommend Katzya. YUM! read more

Wow is my only word. I'm out w my nephew and of course he wanted a corn dog. Katzya are next level corn dogs. It's the Katsu breading that makes the difference. I tried the chicken which was crispy and delish. be careful, the katsu keeps the heat in and they come served piping hot. read more

This is a vendor at the H Mart food court in Kearny Mesa which specializes in fried cutlet dishes and Korean fried chicken. I opted for the latter as I wanted to compare their product to other places in town. You can ask for drumsticks, wings, or tenders. The flavor choices were original, soy garlic, seasoned, spicy, and spicy seasoned. I asked for mine to be soy garlic wings. Despite the line ahead of me, the food didn't take long to be ready for pick-up at the service counter. A dish of pickled radishes marinated in soy sauce came as a side with the chicken. The crust was crunchy and not too thick. The size of the wings was a disappointment for the price though. Eight pieces were in a regular order while a large order had twelve pieces and cost about 50% more. Overall, I gave Katzya a 3.5 star rating for their Korean fried chicken. read more

The food is pretty good. I really like the chicken and the mozzarella corndogs. I feel like the toek bokki (I know I spelled that wrong please don't hate me ) could be better though. The dumplings are also good. The service is not that great. I've gone their handful of times and I feel like the owner who works there often kind of judges me but also she might just give that vibe. Other people who work there don't really even make eye contact. There is a Bubba place right next to them and I recommend getting a Boba. read more

We ordered the Crispy Chicken Combo during our visit to HMart! This is the most delicious fried chicken we have tried that has the least grease. The breading on the exterior has a perfect crunch while also maintaining the savory moisture of the chicken. When paired with white rice, French fries, and veggies this combination is perfect! Highly recommend! read more

We came here on a Saturday night to order chicken wings. We got the original and soy garlic. Both are delicious, came out piping hot, crispy on the outside and juicy on the inside. The soy garlic comes with a generous amount of sauce which is great but the chicken skin can be a bit soggy after a while. My gripe with this place after coming for a while is the customer service. We came throughout the year and the service has been consistently disappointing. Good food but dont expect much out of service. Right in front of the counter, theres a sign that claims "No Utensils" its meant for non customers but wow, okay, and i dont get while they wont sell a bowl of rice! When they sell rice with their katsu. I just dont get it. Lol we still come back for chicken but we mentally prepare ourselves for the rude staff. read more

Love this place, never failed to satisfy my chicken and k streetfood cravings. Hoping they add gimbap soon!

Well this was a hidden surprise. This spot took over in the parkway plaza, super recently. I opted for a sausage/mozzarella potato dog. My partner opt'd for chicken wings. We shared the luv fries and added more sauce and powder. We waited a little bit as there were quite a few people ahead of us, however you could literally watch them make everything. So you know you werent waiting for food that was just sitting under a warmer. Being in a mall, it definitely had a different vibe to it but it was nice because you could just grab your food and sit wherever in the food court. The cashier asked if I wanted my dog dipped in sugar, which was recommended on the signs, so I jumped on that. And it was surprisingly good. We tried some various sauces and found everything to be super sweet. The cheddar sauce had no hints of cheddar and just looked ultra orange. I'd most likely go back for another combo dog and some fries. They were super delicious! read more

Katzya Corn Dog & Chicken - Number 11: Ramen Mozza - Chicken Wings Near Me - El Cajon, California

Been here before and thought it was very average. This time I thought I'd give the spicy katsu curry a try and it was THE WORST curry I've had in my life!! Don't get it!! It was not spicy but rather strangely sweet, like sweet and sour sauce?? Feels like they doused a bunch of their sweet chili sauce in.. like it didn't even taste like curry anymore and I felt so upset paying $13.. The regular curry has an average normal flavor. However, not good enough to warrant $13. Katsu is whatever, pretty thin and not super meaty/juicy. Haven't tried the chicken, but please go to Zen Curry or Karami instead for curry! read more

My friend has been wanting to meet up to eat here, so we finally got to do so last week. Katzya is one of the food vendors located inside H Mart and since she already had the fried chicken wings before, we decided to share an order of the spicy ones. A regular order comes with 8 pieces, but you can also get the large which comes with 12 wings. There weren't too many flavor options, so it's pretty easy to decide. Our food was ready pretty quickly too. I was disappointed that the wings were not spicy at all- the sauce was actually pretty sweet. There was some complimentary pickled daikon that came with our order, which helped balance the sweetness. Overall, the wings were okay, but were pretty big in size. read more

Everything seems premium and all until you get your dish. Got the pork tonkatsu with curry platter to share. It comes with rice and a little salad with dressing. The cutlet seemed like it was tenderized too much. Pounded it til it looked like 1/4 in. thick. I like my cutlets rather thicker, however. Curry on the side was delicious, I can recognize S&B's curry just about anywhere so I could give that a thumbs up. The little salad on the side got some weird thick-ish dressing, so it was unpleasantly hard to eat. Since it was a quick bite, I consider this to be a standard katsu fast food restaurant with mediocre offerings. Portion sizes were rather large so I'll give them that. Would I visit again? Probably if I wanted a very quick meal, sure. read more

TLDR; located inside H-Marts new food hall. Serves fried cutlets over rice or curry. The cutlets are huge but we were misled by the pictures of the curry plat There's so many eateries in the food hall we wanted to try but a fried pork cutlet stood out from the rest. Because of the grand opening, there's a lot of people and not enough parking space. Be prepared for crowds in the parking lots and inside H-Mart. But once you get past that, it's really neat inside. Feels very modern. Lines are a bit disorganized, nothing's really roped off. We ordered the pork cutlet meal and the curry pork cutlet. As you're waiting, you have to listen for your number through the automated system. It seems like it's shared with the other eateries but it'll announce the restaurant name before your order number. There's also a screen next to the menu screens with orders that are ready for pick up. Keep your receipt so workers can confirm your order number when you pick up your food. For starters, the meals don't look anything like the pictures in the menu. That being said, it was a satisfying meal. Each of the pork cutlets were fried nicely and they were huge. They weren't dry pieces too. The pork cutlet plate had a sweet katsu sauce drizzled over it, with cooked onions and something soft that I couldn't quite tell. The curry pork katsu was slightly disappointing because it wasn't really a curry meal...more like a katsu meal with curry drizzled over it. But the curry was really good though. Salad had too much dressing in my opinion. Once you're done, you have to bus your table by returning the trays to the restaurant you got it from. Besides not getting what we saw on the menu, the meal was really good. Hopefully in the future they'll update the menu pictures accordingly. read more

Katzya Corn Dog & Chicken - Seasoned chicken wings - Chicken Wings Near Me - El Cajon, California

Got the seasoned chicken wings, regular order came with 8 pieces. Very light crispy batter and flavorful sauce had a kochujang taste to it. Can't wait to try the other flavors. Got it with rice and dried soy sauce radishes which were very good. Definitely one of the better Korean fried chicken places in SD. Located in H mart food court. You can order drumsticks or chicken tenders and they also have tonkatsu, fish and shrimp. One thing that needs improvement in the food court area is that there is no place to return trays. There are a few trash cans toward the exit but no place to return bowls and trays. Some of the food places might start loosing their bowls and other serving dishes, Just simple trash cans with a place to return trays, bowls and other service items are needed. read more

I like this place. The chicken takes about 20min, so if interested, I would order that in advance, the other dishes come out fairly quick, about 10min and everything has been really good here. I like how the food court has a good mix of dishes. The cutlets and chicken here are best read more

My go to here is the spicy fried chicken wings. Love them. Super duper moist on the inside and crispy on the outside without being too sweet. Very different than the other Korean chicken wings I've had. Sauce is not too garlic-y which I prefer but still very flavorful. I can eat the large order all by myself. Can't speak for the other menu items but the wings get a full thumbs up from me. read more

Avoid the sugar. The mozzarella stuffed with potato is good. Not filled up with cheese as expected. Overall it's not up to all the hype.

Aside from the chicken being sub par and wish I should've just stopped at Popeyes for a cheaper and tastier chicken. The service wasn't pleasant it was oh yeah we only offer this for dine in and you should just get fried chicken for $20 it's literally 7 drumsticks that's it, no sides, no napkins, no honey, no daikon. Just plain chicken. Not ever again! read more
