My uncle told me about King Katsu Land and how their katsu is amazing! We got takeout here and it was great, so we decided to try it in person so it's nice and fresh! We came on a Saturday at 6PM and it wasn't too crowded yet. Once it got a little crowded, they have a yelp kiosk at the front of the door. We ordered the King Katsu with Curry and the Fish Katsu! We were served Miso soup to start, along with pickled radish and pickles! Both katsu meals came with mac salad, cabbage salad, and rice! Such a good value for how much the meal came out! The katsu was bigger than my hand! Our favorite was the Fish Katsu! It was crispy on the outside and soft and tender on the inside! Don't sleep on the fish katsu! Overall, great experience! Whenever I'm craving Katsu, I'll definitely stop by King Katsu!
Love the generous portions! Came for to go since we had our pup in the car with us, & we ordered the King Katsu with regular sauce, fish katsu & side of shrimp katsu. Really enjoyed how light & crispy the panko batter was on all 3 proteins & the katsu sauce was warm & tasted house made with a tomato base & not too sweet which we enjoyed. Loved the presentation of the king katsu as steam could escape making it stay crispy!
Huge katsu. Nicely cooked. Friendly service. Clean space to grab lunch. $20 katsu curry was tasty. I liked the curry flavor - and only gripe was the teaspoon of Mac salad served! . It tasted good but why not a whole ice cream scoop like a Hawaiian restaurant!! Omg. Jyw recommends
King Katsu Land has gigantic portions that can easily be shared between two people. The chicken katsu is my favorite, very juicy and crispy. The plate comes with two large pieces of katsu, curry sauce, macaroni salad, rice, and cabbage salad. The cheese katsu (cheese and pork) is perfect for those who love the cheese pull, but it's kind of rich/heavy. There's six pieces and I would recommend sharing this between 2-3 people since the flavor can get tiring. Meals also come with miso soup and pickles, and their katsu plates are each around $20. During peak hours, there can be a bit of a wait. Just put your name down on the tablet. The restaurant is moderately sized, but does feel a bit cramped. Service is fine, and you pay at the counter after your meal.
King Katsu land is a pretty popular spot here in South SF. If you come peak time on the weekend be prepared to wait a bit as they get full around 6. Overall the food comes fast and the portions as everyone says are pretty huge. If you can eat a ton, they even have a food challenge of a mega sized katsu. We've been here twice now since we wanted to come back and try the fried chicken as on top of the katsu. We shared one katsu plate and one wings. There is still plenty to take home. Katsu orders come with a peppery curry. Going to be honest and say the curry sauce is just okay. I'd prefer Japanese style or Hong Kong style maybe but this one is a little on the sweeter side. They also have a spicy which has a little kick to it. The curry is more runny that's normal curry so is kind of like a gravy vs a thick curry. Katsu is breaded well although the 1st visit the breading was separating from the pork. The chicken was fine. Breading is tasty though but kind of like eating it on the side when it didn't stay on the pork. But the second visit we didn't have that issue and it was much better. The cheese corn is really good although it is very rich. Not sure how much I could eat in one sitting. Would prefer the order to be smaller but lower in price by a bit. Overall a nice spot to grab dinner and probably expect some leftovers after unless you split a plate. Come off peak hours if you don't want to wait.
This place is so so yummy. I love a good katsu place and this is definitely one of them. I like the combination of Korean and Japanese that they have. The place is a decent size with tables all around. We were a group of 6 so there was a bit of a wait but nothing too bad. The staff were always checking on us and brought things out quickly. One of our dishes did get forgotten about so we had to ask them for it but they were able to bring it out soon after asking. Definitely give this place a try. Just be mindful that the entrance to the parking lot/plaza can be easy to miss
Another trip to King Katsu Land, and left with our tummies full and happy. Service was still good with the waitress continually checking if we needed anything else and refilling our drinks. Decor hasn't changed much, but I think they've added some more cute light fixtures since I've last been. We ordered the King's Combo and Yang Neom Chicken this time. This might be the way to go - a sampler of the popular Katsu options (chicken katsu, fish katsu, and hamburger steak) and a side of the Yang Neom Chicken. We were both surprised by how good the Yang Neom chicken was - perfectly bite sized and super tender with the right amount of sweet and sour sauce. Definitely coming back for this dish! Can't wait to come back next time I'm craving some Katsu.
The staff are great and welcoming when we arrived. A very casual place. Food came out super fast. Everyone received a miso soup. We were two adults with 3 kids and two entrees was plenty. We really liked the katsu fish and chicken (better than the pork). I do wish the pieces were a little less flatten so there would be less breading. I think that's why we liked the fish the most, it was super flatten so the fish was the juiciest. Will definitely be back to try the cheese and curry options.
Do you like cheese? Especially on your Katsu? This is the place for you King Katsu land is very casual restaurant but the employees definitely take care of you and make sure you're doing OK. I got the snowflake Katsu and holy cow. It was as big as if not bigger than my face. It also came with a curry sauce underneath the Katsu although I kind of wish there was more of it. It's Korean style Katsu so it is a lot thinner than Japanese style Katsu - it kind of reminds me of a schnitzel? My meal also came with miso soup, a giant scoop of rice, a giant scoop of Max salad that was delicious and a giant mound of cabbage salad to make me feel less guilty about all of the cheese I was about to eat. Will definitely be coming here again.
The king in the restaurant name is not a joke because the portion sizes here are HUGE. I am a pretty big eater and I could not fully finish off an order of the king katsu by myself. It comes with rice, mac salad, and cabbage. They also bring out a miso soup pretty early. I got the spicy curry option and it had a decent kick to it. Service is pretty quick and lots of parking in the lot (although it can be tricky to find behind some other buildings)
We were out and about and called my cousin to see if she and her husband were hungry for lunch. They said yes and suggested King Katsu Land. This was our first time but apparently, they love the quality of the food and the ridiculously large portions. The parking lot itself was an adventure to enter. Our GPS took us directly to the driveway but if we had been depending on a conventional map, there's no doubt that we would have driven past it a time or two as the restaurant cannot be seen from the entrance to the driveway. I was a bit worried as we walked to the front door as it was wide open. That usually means that the restaurant doesn't have working air conditioning. I hate being hot and sweaty when dining. We were seated upon entering. We told them that there were going to be four of us and it should have been quite obvious that the rest of our table hadn't arrived yet, but it seemed like they were on auto drive. Shortly after we sat, a water pitcher, glasses, some pickles and Miso Soup were presented for all four of us even though two seats were still empty. Fortunately, my cousin arrived before her Miso Soup had time to get cold. I ordered the King Katsu with Curry Sauce while my wife got the Cold Soba. My cousins husband ordered the Kid's Katsu, Corn Cheese and a Small Korean Style Boneless Fried Chicken. Their Kid's portion was quite large as he said that it would be. Mine was so large, I had enough for lunch and then breakfast and dinner the next day. I barely touched the Cheese Corn or the Fried Chicken. The food was very good overall and a very good value. Service was pretty good though it would have been nice if they had offered a refill on my soda.
So good!! Portions are huge and perfect for sharing. I went with my family (6 adults and 2 babies) and we enjoyed our meal. My favorites were the garlic KFC and the king tonkatsu cutlet. They had high chairs available for the babies, but at one point they were all being used and someone had to wait for ours. I like that they give sauces on the side so you can choose which to use! The sauces weren't amazing but I still enjoyed using them with the crispy katsu.
I've gotten King Katsu Land two times now and the katsu is really delicious! The katsu is perfectly fried and they have a variety of katsu choices on the menu. I also enjoy the sides that are included: rice, mac salad, yellow radish, pickles, and shredded cabbage salad. All of these sides really help balance the meal. The King Katsu is a good default choice, it's their korean style wide and thin cut pork cutlet and comes with a tangy sauce. The tangy sauce isn't for everyone, but I enjoyed it. You can pick between spicy or regular for the sauce. I tried the spicy sauce and was surprised that it actually had quite the kick! I really enjoyed the Fish Katsu when I tried it the first time, so I had to order it for my second visit. The fish katsu batter was perfect and the tartar sauce was excellent as well. I wished there were a couple more pieces because I definitely wanted to eat more! My only gripe is that for my second visit, they actually forgot the fish katsu and we didn't find out until after opening the bag. Thankfully, we were still nearby, so we drove back to get the rest of the order. It would have really sucked if we didn't find out until many miles away.

Price to taste ratio is off the charts here! It's always busy and we usually wait, but it's worth it. Inside is clean, minimal, a pretty small space inside so if you have a large party, be prepared to wait or be split up. Their katsu is thin, flavorful, crisp without heavy breading, and very generous portions. I always get the King Katsu with spicy sauce. The sauce might be the best katsu sauce I've ever tried, we always bring home the leftovers and try to stretch it with more katsu. Every plate comes with rice, mac salad, cabbage salad. They also give you a pickle plate with radish kimchi, yellow radish, and soy sauce pickles. This time, we also tried the sweet potato katsu, which comes with a sweet potato mousse - very good! Slightly sweet, not too heavy, and adds another layer to the already-delicious katsu. Will definitely be getting it again. Not a fan of the hamburger steak here, their specialty is the katsu. On this recent visit, I was very disappointed by the radish kimchi. Their radish kimchi is usually very, very good and I'm not sure what happened. I'm hoping it was due to a bad batch of radish and not a recipe change. read more
Such value!! Portions are huge and prices are so reasonable. Brought home leftovers. There's a reason why so many have left 5 star reviews! Super happy to have tried out this place and honestly, I've been thinking and craving this place after my visit. I ordered the cheese katsu, and it was crispy and flavorful. Also tried the pork and shrimp katsu, likewise, the panko coating was so crunchy. Curry was delicious too. Orders come with a side of salad and mac+cheese. Parking is abundant and easy to find. Service was quick and menu is straight to the point. There's a really funny wall of pictures + quotes from successful and failed challengers who tried out their food challenge! Loved reading it and was laughing at what people had to say. read more

My friend told me about their bomb katsu so decided to stop by for dinner on our way home. It was an interesting drive to get here but we made it. The place was packed on a Wednesday evening at 7pm. We added ourselves to the waitlist and waited about 10 minutes or so before we were seated. We ordered the King's Combo (pork katsu) and subbed rice with an extra mac salad. I wasn't a fan of the hamburger steak since the flavor was lacking, but the katsu was perfect. Crispy and well battered on the outside and tender on the inside. The curry that we used to dip the katsu in made it taste even better! So glad I stopped by and can't wait to come back again. I think next time I will just order just the King Katsu. I also want to try their chicken and cheese corn because I saw a lot of people ordering that. Service was fast and the servers were friendly. read more
We saw this spot while eating at the Filipino restaurant across the way. We should have done our research before coming because we each ordered our own plate and one plate is enough to feed 3-4 people honestly. Just add some extra sides of rice and salad and it would have been fine. We don't usually eat a lot of fried food at once so it was a bit overwhelming lol not going to sugar coat it. But I would love to come back to try other items for sure. read more
Came here for dinner to celebrate my Son's Birthday. Place was smaller than I thought. When we got there at 7:00 on a Tuesday the place was full, but only one name ahead of us on the list. We didn't have to wait very long. Portions are Huge. So great value for the money. I ordered the Pork Katsu with curry sauce. Everything was delicious. read more

Absolutely stellar katsu!! I ordered the King Katsu with regular spice, and there's not a single thing that I would change about it. The (super generous-sized) pork cutlet itself has this perfectly-crispy breaded crust all around this respectfully thick-ish slab of meat. Pro tip is to not immediately pour the curry over the cutlet so then it doesn't get soggy--instead, you can cut the meat in strips and dip into the curry goodness. The sides are also really yummy and I particularly loved the mac salad I always eat for value and this definitely hits the spot...$20 for a meal that sent me in a food coma is as good as it gets. Plus, service is top notch and our waitress was so sweet! This place definitely lived up to the hype and I'm so happy I found it read more

The place is decently sized but it can get packed real quick. Had a party of 7 and with luck on timing they were able to accommodate. By the time we left the place had customers waiting outside ready to dine. Service was amazing. Been here twice now and each time it didn't disappoint read more

King Katsu Land has huge portions! Definitely more than enough for one person and the price is extremely reasonable for what you get. However, the taste and options were a bit hit or miss for me. Overall: 4.4/5 Firstly, make sure you are on the lookout for this place, since their lot is hard to find the entrance too. My gps tried to route me into the car dealership that's lower down on the hill, but their entrance for their lot is actually a bit up the hill, and it's small without much signage. Tried the sweet potato katsu and the snowflake katsu. Snowflake katsu was as advertised. Massive portion of fried cutlet with a lot of melted shredded cheese on top. Seems like they torch it which gave it a nice char flavor. Sweet potato mousse was overpowered by the katsu sauce and didn't add much. First time trying Korean style katsu sauce and is a bit thinner than Japanese, but it was tasty! Mac salad and slaw were fine, overall a bit too mayo heavy. Comically small side of rice compared to how much cutlet there is, which is good from a value standpoint, but less good from a balance view. Banchan was fine, definitely not a lot, but the miso soup was good! Service was friendly and food was out fast! read more
KK is exactly what the name says, they serve king sized katsu. They're in a strip mall behind a car dealership, and if you're not from around this area, it's best to use GPS. There's a shared parking lot with other businesses. When I came on a Saturday evening, there were still plenty of parking because the other stores have closed already. This place gets busy and during meal hour, it's likely there will be a line. Tables are set up for parties of 2 or 4. Large parties may have to push ya les together. Menu is simple enough, and there are pictures which help a lot. Of course we ordered what they're known for, Katsu.. I got their King Katsu, a huge piece of perfectly fried and very crispy piece of pork. You have the option of getting their regular sauce spicy or for two bucks extra, the curry. I went with the spicy and there were almost no heat, but did add more flavor. Served with hot steamy rice and a salad. I couldn't finish the whole thing. My friend got the chicken cartoon and it was just as good. He opted it for the curry sauce, but said the house sauce is still better. They have a sign on the wall that if you want extra rice, just ask them and they'll gladly bring more out. The service is pretty friendly and efficient. The interior is brightly lit and the food is great. Next time I'm in town I'm definitely going back for more. read more
King Katsu Land, where the katsu is as big as your face. We came by on a friday and there was a slight wait, but not too bad. You get a big crispy katsu, rice, cabbage salad, and mac salad. Also, everyone gets free miso soup! The katsu was good, we got king w/curry and snowflake. It's pretty big and halfway through I started wanting something else, change of texture/flavor. In hindsight, I think we should've shared one katsu and tried something else from the menu. But overall good visit. One thing I'd point out is that when we came by, it was kind of busy and there was a line of people waiting for seats. These people stood crowded around near the entrance. I wouldve hated to sit there with people standing around/watching us. It'd be nice if they had people wait outside or rearranged those tables and moved them into the middle the restaurant. read more
Found a hidden gem while in the area. The workers here are nice and friendly. The restroom is clean. This restaurant was a little confusing to get to but I found out you have to drive down the hill behind the Mercedes-Benz dealership. All the food I tried here are good. We ordered Fried Shrimp, Pork King Combo, Cheese Katsu, Udon, Cheese Corn, and Half and Half Fried Chicken. Katsu here was crispy, tender and flavorful. I love how they gave us bonchon. I love the radishes it goes good with the fried chicken. I love the butter garlic over the Yang-nyeon flavor on the fried chicken. Udon was good and flavorful but a bit salty. The fried shrimp came with cabbage with dressing and tartar sauce. I love how crispy the shrimp was. The cheese katsu was so delicious the mac salad, rice, and cabbage salad. The fried fish was also so delicious and very crispy. read more
Came here for dinner. You can definitely share a plate for two if you're not too hungry. The wait took a while but they were busy. The ambiance is casual with music and tv in the background. The service just lets you eat for the most part. This was a return visit so it did the job. read more

Saw this posted on a foodie Facebook group and the photos of king size looking katsu made my eyes grow big like a kid in a candy store or picture me like Margaret Keene's painting of the big eyes of her children's paintings . When we arrived we put our name on the Waitlist on a Saturday evening and waited outside of restaurant which I think took about and hour and half. Lots of cars parked and people standing around it outside too. It's a small restaurant and lots of big groups of people which I think made the turning of the tables slow. I had a group of five. It was a bit chilly waiting outside. We were wondering if the wait would end up 2 hours and should we decide to eat elsewhere if we get too hungry? But we stuck it out and finally got seated . yah! I can see full house as every table full. We noticed later people come in big groups so I think that's why long waits. Restaurant not that long. We order boneless Korean Style chicken to share between the 5 of us and we ordered personally the Kings Combo to get a flavor of 1/2 Korean style wide thin cut pork cutlet, hamburger steak and katsu fish. They bought to our table a nice Bonchon appetizers to share. Restroom is clean. The back wall to the far left near restrooms, has the Legendary Challenger photo wall. I wanted to get a closer look at it, but there was a table there with people, so I couldn't get any closer. The food took a while, so have patience, the workers work hard and if you are by entrance, read the sign about their service so have patience and don't get mad. Great food needs time to prepare. Hard to feed so many mouths with hungry tummies. It once you get the food you will be pleased! I enjoyed my Kings Combo and all my items were yummy in my tummy. Everything was crispy and soft and tender. I enjoyed the katsu fish a lot. Hamburger steak was tender with egg on top. I love poking egg to have the hello yolk of goodness ooze out in a delicate, soft, gentle, waterfall over the hamburger steak oval patty. But either way yummy in my tummy was my point of being here. lol Everyone enjoyed their meal and we left happy folks! So yes I recommend this place and I plan to come back again to try their other dishes. read more

This is a late review as I tried this place right around Christmas. My friends were visiting from out of state and they heard about this place from Instagram. We got here a little after 5 pm and got one of the last tables already. We ended up getting the fish katsu. Wow , was this portion huge ! It came with three pieces of fish, a side of rice, coleslaw and macaroni salad. I don't know how the made the tartar sauce but it was perfectly seasoned! The batter of the fish want to thick and you can tell they used new oil to fry it because it wasn't too dark. The server kept on checking in on us and we spoke to them for a while. They were all friendly and kept a smile on their face the whole time . As much as I try to avoid fried food, I'll come back for this. read more

Finally got to try king katsu land! We came on a Friday night at 7pm and surprisingly there was no wait, we got seated right away. I love that we get complimentary miso soup and banchan. I ordered the king katsu and my boyfriend ordered the kings combo. We both got spicy curry - and as someone who has low tolerance to spice, it was pretty spicy but very delicious! The curry was flavorful and packed a punch. The katsu was HUGE, very crispy and probably double fried because it tasted very oily. The rice, salad, and mac salad helped balance out the katsu very well. The kings combo came with fried fish and hamburger steak - and both of those in addition to the katsu were also delicious. The fish was cooked well and the hamburger steak was juicy. read more

Came here on a Saturday for lunch and wasn't expecting it to be packed and it was packed!! This place specializes in katsu as they serve different variations of the dish. Each set comes with miso soup and salad, so that in's plus. Cheese Katsu (5/5): Comes with aside of rice, Mac salad, cabbage salad, and katsu sauce. The cheese had a nice pull and the meat was tender. It wasn't super juicy, but it was solid. I am not going to lie. I really enjoyed the Mac salad. The sauce was a bit too tangy. I would like to try the curry next time. read more

One of my go-to katsu spots in the area. I've never had to wait, although there can be a short wait during peak dinner hours. The restaurant is a decent size with plenty of seating, making it a great casual spot to grab dinner with friends or family. The portions are generous, and the katsu is always fresh with a nice crunch from the light panko coating. I also really like the sesame cabbage salad, it pairs well with everything and helps balance out the meal, so you don't leave feeling greasy or overly full. Consistently good food and a spot I find myself coming back to. read more

Delicious Katsu, friendly spot, awesome price point. Would definitely come back for katsu. The king's combo had a bit of everything, crispy and tender katsu. Staff is very friendly, pop and pop vibes. read more
Decided to check this place out on a Saturday afternoon. It was pretty busy so when we added our name to the list it was about a 10-20 minute wait even though we were only behind one other family. Seating is like a diner style vibe, the seats weren't that comfortable and everything was close together so it was pretty cramped. Very small gaps between tables. The portions are HUGE. I honestly could've ordered the kid's katsu size after I saw my daughter's portion compared to mine. And even my husband admitted we could've shared and he would've been full. The katsu, I would say, leans more towards Hawaiian style in terms of the sauce and since they give you the macaroni salad and the shredded Cole slaw. I got the chicken katsu which was kind of bland, it lacked seasoning and definitely needed to be dipped in the sauce so it could be more flavorful. The macaroni and coleslaw salad were nothing special either. We also got the tteokboki side and that was yummy and not too spicy. They have a legendary challenge where if you finish 3 of their giant cutlets and 2 rice portions in 20 minutes you get your meal free for $38.95. Kind of crazy considering the regular portion is ginormous. The sauce honestly saved the katsu, but the breading kept falling off so I had so many chunks in my sauce. I'm not a huge fan so I probably won't be back. read more
The portions are crazy! The food is delicious. Everything is made fresh they give you complementary soap soup when you are seated. The curry sauce for the Katsu was absolutely amazing as well as the spicy sauce they use. I don't recommend getting the sauces on the side. Signed in on an iPad waited only about 10 minutes before we got seated. The staff is extremely sweet. The location is a bit remote, but everything inside was very clean and had a great vibe. The whole bill was I think $60 it was for the king Katsu (this included pork Katsu, hamburger steak and fish katsu. And then a pork Katsu with curry sauce. I ended up taking food home because there was so much. We'll definitely come again and bring friends. read more
We found ourselves back at King Katsu Land for dinner--and funny enough, we were seated at the exact same spot as our first visit, which made the experience feel extra familiar and nostalgic. This time, we ordered a combo platter that included chicken katsu, fish katsu, and a burger patty topped with egg, which my husband and I shared. They forgot to serve the burger patty with egg at first but when we clarified, they served it right away and apologized. Overall, everything was delicious and satisfying. The chicken and fish were especially enjoyable--crispy on the outside and juicy on the inside. The curry that came with the combo had a slightly tangy flavor, which wasn't exactly to my liking, but it was still flavorful enough to complement the meal. We also ordered a kids' meal with pork for my son, and I was genuinely surprised by the portion size. Even though the menu described it as a "small portion," it was actually generous enough to satisfy an adult. Just like our previous visit, we ended up not finishing everything because the servings were incredibly hearty--definitely great value for money! The staff were once again very accommodating, friendly, and attentive, which made the overall dining experience even more enjoyable. We'll definitely be coming back again--next time, and try something new (and maybe come with bigger appetites ). read more

King Katsu with Spicy Curry: This was definitely huge! As a person who can eat quite a bit, this meal can be enough for two people to share. And the price ($21.95) is honestly great for its portion. The curry was a bit tangy, I was expecting it to taste more of like Japanese curry. The spice level is equivalent to siracha. The chicken wasn't greasy and goes perfectly well with the curry. The mac salad and Cole slaw was so refreshing! I could eat this again! Sweet potato katsu: I can't lie, I prefer this one over the King Katsu. The sweet potato puree was amazing!!! It was sweet and balanced with the salty taste of the curry and chicken. Unique flavor, but well worth it. Korean Chicken: it was a bit too salty for me but if you eat it with rice, it is amazing! It's savory and reminds me of garlic soy chicken. The service was good, they provide free miso soup. The staff wasn't too attentive as we were trying to ask for utensils or napkins, but the place is busy so I can't blame them. This is a slight detail you may not mind. If you sit on the seating against the wall, you'll notice that the seating is very high up, so it was a bit uncomfortable to eat. As a short person, I still was hovering over the table uncomfortably. read more

We came here on a week night and the place was pretty packed but luckily we came early enough where we did not have to wait to be seated. The portions here are HUGE! It surprised me!! My husband got the King's Combo thinking that the portion sizes would be smaller (which they were) but STILL HUGE! The Fish Katsu was our favorite! The tartar sauce made it taste even better! The Corn Cheese was super oily but other than that, the food was good! read more

What makes this Korean Katsu? Tonkatsu is a Japanese dish.
The Japanese adopted the European cutlet ‘Don’ refers to pork, and ‘katsu’ is the Japanese pronunciation of cutlet. Korea brought this cutlet over from Japan and developed it into a style where the meat is pounded thin and wide, with sauce poured…
