    Chicken Katsu and Dry Curry
    Annie F.

    This place is so cute and literally tucked inside a supermarket. It's quiet, a legit storefront, and so good! The service was so nice- I should've asked for the person's name but he was so kind when ordering and answered all the questions I had. I showed up with a couple friends 30 minutes before they closed and he reassured us to take our time. The food was great. I ordered the chicken Katsu with dry curry and the Dabang coffee. The dry curry is kind of like a ground pork consistency but so flavorful! Not too salty, but full of spices. The chicken Katsu was flaky, juicy, and well proportioned. I wasn't a huge fan of the coleslaw, it felt like pickled cabbage almost but when I mix it into the rice it isn't as pungent. I'd definitely go back- it's perfect for lunch or dinner and then you get to walk it off in Hannam after :-)

    Absolutely worth the $16 meal as portions were relatively large with two scoops of white rice, one scoop of macaroni salad, some vegetables, chicken katsu and "Bulgogi." I use quotations because it really wasn't Bulgogi per se. It tasted and looked more like minced ground beef with sesame oil and salt. Katsu was crispy and crunchy. All blended well together.

    Corndog was pretty good. The rice plate was a bit disappointing. Rice was mushy, mac salad was like a potato salad, chicken was decent. Theres like 20 restaurants all in this one location. No seating and take out only.

    Wanted to try this place out and I saw it was part of this big food complex or something on Lewis Street. Didn't see a Yelp page for it so I decided to make one! It's really quite good what they offer even if it's only like three items in total? I would definitely get their katsu and dry curry again, it was so good! I thought that the macaroni salad could have been a bit more rich though but it was touted as a bit of a pineapple one and the slaw was nicely vinegary. Also tried their bulgogi but the curry was really the star. Their "GG" sauce is like a teriyaki with ginger and garlic but overall, a really great option if you want katsu! Delicious! Also around this area we really don't have Korean katsu places unless you go to Buena Park and the fukujinzuke radish they add is delightful.

    I am soooo happy I discovered Kimssi Katsu! I visited for the first time today and I can honestly say I found a new favorite lunch spot!!! I love katsu and they serve the best one! I tried two of their most popular items: chicken katsu + dry curry combo and pork katsu + soboro combo. Both meals were delicious, I just couldn't stop eating!!! Also, their desserts are really tasty! They are a ghost-concept kitchen (which I love) so it's take-out & delivery only! I picked up my meal and enjoyed it in a beautiful park close by, soaking in the sun. If I could give them more than 5 stars, I would! HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!

    Location moved inside of the Hannam Chain supermarket on Beach Blvd and Malvern. It was a little hard to find at first. They do not have their own sign and are located inside of "Magpie Superette." I've tried both the chicken and pork katsu bowls with the Soboro beef. The katsu is nice and crispy, well seasoned. Some people are saying the katsu sauce is too vinegary for their taste, I disagree; I don't think it's overpowering at all. From my experience, Japanese/Hawaiian-style katsu sauce tends to have a bit more of a vinegar taste compared to the sauce served at a lot of Korean katsu restaurants. Not to say one is better than the other, it's just different. The side of Soboro is nice and flavorful. Mac salad is good, it's blander (in a good way) compared to some others, but overall a good complement to the meal. Not a huge fan of the cole slaw, it has a strong fermented?? vinegar taste that I don't think complements the rest of the meal too well. Overall though this restaurant is pretty solid. For the price, you get a larger portion of higher quality food than compared to alot of the fast food chain Hawaiian restaurants out there (Looking at you Ono, charging $15 for a minuscule portion of katsu piled on top of 4 inches of soullessly boiled cabbage). I recommend trying it.

    Da best katsu in the town. Honestly, this place has the top quality katsu!! I'm so addicted. Once you try katsu here, you'll never be able to quit. I wish I live in Buena Park

    Pork Pork Katsu Strips and Soboro Bulgogi, with extra House Coleslaw and Pineapple Mac Salad
    Gloria K.

    Saw Kimssi Katsu on DoorDash and decided to give it a try, and I don't regret it one bit! I have tried the chicken katsu + soboro bulgogi bowl and pork strip + soboro bulgogi bowl separate times, and both times Kumasi Katsu has proven themselves to be consistent. Quality or taste did not change. I have yet to try their dried curry, but I'm sure it'll be good. Their food literally looks like their photos. 10/10 quality (they pack it so nicely and visually appealing) 10/10 taste (love love love their soboro bulgogi!) You will not be disappointed!! P.S. I like to get extra sides if the house slaw and the pineapple Mac salad cuz they're so good. Its worth the extra buck!

    Chicken Katsu Bowl

    Looking for quick, easy to grab on the go but fresh and delicious food? this is the place! Chicken katsu bowl (4.5/5): the katsu is nice and crunchy. Its well cooked/seasoned. No complaints, hits the spot for my katsu crave. The rice is ok, a little mushy for my taste. The mac is ok, no bold flavors. The coleslaw is not what I'm used to, like it had a pickled vinegar taste that I thought didn't compliment the meal at all. The katsu sauce has a mild more vinegary taste that I'm not used to but it complemented the katsu well and actually gets more addicting as I ate more. Super easy for beach or picnic dates. Overall a good meal + cute packaging as well.

    Great lunch portion! Quick hop in and a skip in out! My faves curry bowl n beef bulgogi YUMMMMO!

    Pork Katsu Strips Bowl
    Stephanie D.

    One of my most favorite things to order from UberEats is this place for sure! I'm in love with the pork strips Katsu bowl. When it is delivered, the presentation is always neat looking and the bowl itself is very tasty! I'm not sure if this place has a physical location because I always order it as a delivery, but if it does, I would definitely love to come in, sit, and have lunch!

    I'd say it's a Good katsu but please next time don't forget to include the katsu sauce in my order.

    Matiki Island BBQ on Lincoln in Anaheim is the kind of place that makes a family dinner feel easy…read more We went for the island BBQ plate energy, and it delivered. The beef ribs were really good, big and properly cooked, the kind of meat you actually talk about on the way home. The galbi was right there with them, savory and satisfying, and between the two we were set. The kids loved the spam musubi. That alone would have made the stop worth it for us. Spam musubi is one of those things that either works for kids or turns into a negotiation, and here there was no negotiation. They were happy, which meant the adults got to eat in peace for a minute. Dessert sealed it. They have a version of Dole Whip that tastes just like Disneyland. I am not being cute about that. Same soft, cold, pineapple hit you remember from the park, which is a wild thing to get after a plate of ribs in Anaheim. We finished full and already half-planning the next visit. One caveat: it was really smoky inside. Enough that I noticed it the whole meal. If I could give 4.5 I would, but I'm rounding up because the food was that good. Portions felt solid for a plate-lunch place, the vibe was casual and family-friendly, and nothing about the meal felt fussy. If you want Hawaiian-style BBQ with kids in tow, this is still an easy yes. Five stars.

Ordered the kalbi BBQ plate with rice and mac salad, plus an extra mac because I usually like 2 mac + 1 rice. The mac salad was easily a 1/10--basically mayo and noodles with no salt, vinegar, umami, or real flavor. Definitely not how Hawaiian mac salad should taste, and I was even more annoyed that I paid for extra. The kalbi was decent but got way too fatty as I ate. I was happy they topped it with green onions (flavor was good) 7/10. They also didn't have a teriyaki/soy glaze or house brown sauce, which was disappointing. I tried the katsu sauce instead and that was easily a 9/10. Customer service was decent. Overall, not terrible, but not necessarily great either. I wouldn't drive out of my way or necessarily recommend it.

One thing that really surprised me was that they actually put their Mac salad directly on the sandwich.

I honestly haven't had Mac salad with tuna before, but you can't really notice the tuna flavor at all. It just seems to add more depth to the overall flavor.
