    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!

    These Korean corn dogs are magical. They are very authentic and delicious. We love them .

    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.

    Interesting food choices. I'm going to try this new place . It looks good. Service is fast and easy. Ambience is mall food . Lots of seating.

    I came to this place twice in one week. The boneless fried chicken is amazing!! And the owner is one of the coolest guys I've met. I have yet to try a corn dog yet but I can vouch for the dumplings and boneless fried chicken!!

    Yum

    12/16/23, tried this place again. Quick and fast. Very good. I would suggest going there. Eating at multiple places in the food court. It is very busy there at the mall.

    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.

    Wow wo we wo. This is hands down the absolute best fried chicken you will ever have. I get the boneless fried chicken. You will never have such a crispy, juicy, consistent taste than this place. Come and get it y'all.

    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!

    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.

    The service was a little slow for a place that wasn't too busy but it was worth the wait! It's a fun treat to have!

    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!

    I went on an adventure trying to find a new lunch spot.  I found this place on Yelp as Janna's…read moreBurgers, Fish, and Fries and the map took me to the Aztec Food Hub.  Using the street address I was taken to Grossmont Center.  The signage indicates this place is called BFF Burgers, Fish and Fries. I was feeling lucky today.  So I ordered my fried fish with onion rings and paid $1 upcharge.  The problem with onion rings is they range from not good to great.  With fries they are usually fine. White fish was fried in a tempura batter infused with herbs.  White fish had a mild flavor and was nice and moist.  Batter was crunchy. Onion rings were mostly crunchy except the batter was too thick so some parts of the batter were not transformed by the frying process into crunchy goodness.   I didn't like the flavor of the herbs in the batter which distracted from the fried onion flavor. Service from the guy in charge was friendly and efficient.  My combo was $12.99 which is a great deal.  I'd order the fish again but not the onion rings.  Doing further research I found they are also listed on Yelp as BFF Burgers, Fish and Fries.  So that's the story on my lunch adventure.
