The portions here are HUGE! Each plate could easily feed two! This place is relatively new and I enjoyed the king katsu. I ordered a side curry and a had the regular katsu sauce. If you like Japanese curry, order the curry but I actually enjoyed their katsu sauce which was tomato based with a nice sourness to it. They serve you pickles and a miso soup in the beginning as you sit down which is nice touch. Honestly I can't say anything negative about this place. It's a great go-to spot which you need a hearty meal for an affordable price. No notes.
Here we go, another Katsu spot... but they say they're the King!? Well they did not disappoint, greeted, seated with a menu to read it. Ordered the King Katsu, Chicken and Ebi to round it all out. All was cooked well and had the right crunch to it. I feel like most Katsu is good, have you ever really had a not so good Katsu? Hopefully not! I do feel the sauce is da boss and that can be the biggest factor of flavor. I have had some not so good sauce in my time. There are 2 sauces here, spicy and regular. Both are good with a slight tang, although a bit on the thinner side. The cabbage slaw has that good ginger miso Japa dressing and the Mac salad falls a bit short on the flavor train. Overall a great spot to get your Katsu craving on! Large portions, good pricing, friendly staff and good eats. We will be back!
Tldr super value giant katsu Its hard to tell in the picture but the pork katsu is giant. As big as the average person's face! It wasn't amazing quality but its really good for the price and it was nice and thin so the meat was cooked nicely and consistently. The fish was surprisingly good too, flaky and not too fishy. I would definitely go back. We also ordered cold soba noodles and they were mid. The noodles were thicker and not very chewy but it did make it easier to eat lol.
Great place for casual dining with your friends. It is kid friendly. First time and probably won't be the last time I visit this establishment. The staff members are all so friendly! My plus 1 had the Tteobokki Chicken Katsu. The sauce was rich, slightly sweet, and very flavorful. Tasty standard tteobokki! I had to try the Fish Katsu that came with Mac salad, shredded salad with a delicious sesame seed dressing, white rice, and a side of miso soup. I'm not usually a Mac salad fan because most Mac salads are made slightly sweeter for my palate. This Mac salad was well balanced of creamy and sweet. The fish was fried to perfection! The fried batter was perfect and remained on the fish until the last bite. Some Fish and chips in other joints tend to fall apart real quick. The tartar sauce was a bit too sweet, but that's ok. I like my fish with plenty of lemon, anyways! I, also, really appreciate how the Fish Katsu was presented with the small wire rack to ensure crispiness of the fish! Excellent idea! For dessert, they have a little freezer fridge with variety choice of ice cream bars/cones.
We ordered the King Katsu with normal sauce and the Chicken Katsu with curry. The katsu is AMAZING AND CRISPY. I'd come back just for how fresh and crispy the katsu is. However, I did not like the sauces and the miso soup was definitely sitting in a metal pot for too long because there was a metallic taste. There was something off about the katsu sauce and the curry tasted like Goldman curry ): Service is great and ambiance is perfect for friends and family.
Wow! Folks were not kidding about the portion sizes here. One King Katsu pork cutlet is more than enough for two people to share. The katsu itself was bigger than my face. I had a chance to try out both the curry sauce as well as the spicy sauce, and slightly preferred the spicy sauce. The sauce will make your mouth tingly, but is not overwhelming and has a good amount of sweetness to it as well. The curry sauce is thick and clings on well to the craggy exterior of the pork cutlet. The cutlet itself is pounded super thin, yet is not overcooked, nor dry. I really like the sweet and tangy pickles that are included. The pickles help cut through the the oilness of the katsu -- which is not even that oily. In addition to the katsu, I also had a chance to try out their corn cheese. As a to-go order, it's obviously not as good as enjoying it on a sizzling hot-plate in store, but I still really enjoyed the sweetness of the dish and the generous amounts of oozy mozzarella cheese melted on top. One portion is large enough for a group of four to enjoy. If you have a big appetite and are looking for an absolute steal of a meal that will leave you with a bunch of leftovers, I would highly recommend ordering a King Katsu from King Katsu Land.
Gives off Korean and Japanese fusion vibes. As soon as we sat down they brought out banchan and miso soup. Servers were quick and attentive. Overall it was a nice and filling meal. King Katsu ($19.95 + $2.95 side curry) - Yes the pork cutlet is very thin! The katsu sauce is pretty spicy but tolerable. The salads that come with the dish have a sweetness to it that helps cut the spiciness. The curry sauce could be better. Fish Katsu ($20.95) - Nice and crispy fish. I liked the fish better than the thin katsu. But why was the tartar sauce sweet? Not my preference.
Appropriately named King Katsu as such bc the servings are seriously king sized! A kids meal would be ample serving for most adults. If you order the "regular" size, it's enough for two. My teen who can usually eat a couple entrees, tapped out! There is also accompanying shredded cabbage salad and a mac salad as well as rice. The rice is not proportionate to the regular entree, but plenty of sides or you can order more rice. The katsu sauce is not the Japanese kind. It's the brown Korean katsu sauce. I've had Korean Katsu sauce before but this one in particular has a bit of spice to it. We ordered a half and half of KFC which we really didnt need. Each of those entrees we ordered were already plenty. Service is prompt and attentive.
Came here with a friend. We each ordered the King's Combo which came with pork or chicken katsu, fish katsu, and hamburger steak. I ordered the pork katsu and my friend ordered the chicken katsu. We both chose the Regular (versus Spicy). The portion was huge! The fish katsu was good - nice, moist, flaky on the inside, and nice, light breading on the outside. The hamburger steak was small in comparison to the other katsus, but it was good with the rice and sauce. Reminded me of a loco moco! The pork katsu was big! The outside breading was nice and light like the fish katsu. The pork wasn't dry in the inside, but was okay. I tried my friend's chicken katsu and it was super moist inside. I think I would prefer the chicken next time. The King's Combo also came with macaroni salad and a cabbage salad. The macaroni salad was good. The cabbage salad was yummy with the shredded cabbage and the dressing !
This place is excellent. My second location I've ate at. Very consistent experience Portions are massive. The spicy katsu sauce is my fav. The Mac salad looks dry but is super creamy, smooth and rich. The corn cheese is my fav side as well. No complaints I'm a loyal customer at this point
I've been wanting to try King Katsu Land for a while now, so I am happy that they finally opened one near me. We came here on a Thursday evening. They were not busy anymore since it was close to their closing time; we got seated pretty quickly. The staff was nice and welcoming, and the service was fast. Inside was clean and spacious. I ordered the King Katsu, Tteok-bo-ki, and Sikhye. The King Katsu was big. Honestly, two to four people can eat this since it was humongous. We were pretty amazed at how big and generous the serving was. The katsu was crispy, and the breading-to-meat ratio was spot on. The katsu had good flavor, but it was dry. I enjoyed the tteok-bo-ki. The rice cakes were chewy, and the sauce had the right amount of sweetness and heat. Lastly, it was my first time drinking sikhye. It was sweet and a great drink to pair with the katsu and tteok-bo-ki. Overall, I enjoyed our visit to King Katsu Land. The portion was generous, and the prices were reasonable. I will come back here again.
Love the HUGE katsu portion sizes at this place! I ordered the king katsu, and I severely underestimated how big it would be. The katsu itself was nice and crispy, and I appreciated how they didn't skimp on the vegetable salad and macaroni salad that came with it. The sauce that comes with the katsu is more on the sweet side rather than savory, but you can get curry sauce instead if you want for an additional $2. The staff were all very welcoming and friendly, and the servers brought us miso soup and some banchan before our order came out. There is also plenty of parking in the plaza that this restaurant is located in. I thought that the prices were very reasonable considering the amount of food that we were given. Would love to come back to try more of their dishes in the near future!
Service: very bright and warm staff! They are very helpful and welcoming. Enjoyed a great time there thanks to them. Food: very crispy and the breading is not too thick. Definitely recommend to try their King's combo if you're here for the first time because you'll be able to try all kinds of katsu they offer. The Korean fired chicken also comes with a good portion even it's a small size. Overall it tastes really good but a bit pity that the dressings are quite sweet (salad, honey garlic, macaroni) and the spicy sauce for katsu is not spicy curry. Ambiance: clean and bright! Suitable for small to medium group!

Great place to hand out and good food yummy and good service! We definitely will be back again. read more
My husband loves katsu so we are always on the lookout for new places, since good katsu is scant in the Bay. His favorite is the thick Japanese style tonkatsu and this is the more common Korean style one but the crispy fried fillets still hit the spot! Rating breakdown: 2/2 Stars for Taste -- Of course we ordered the King's combo so we could try a little bit of everything. The katsu was our favorite and you could smother it with their tangy sauce. Careful, their spicy sauce contains ethnic levels of spice -- it's on par with Shin ramyeon. The fish katsu is not bad, it reminds me of McDonald's filet-o-fish. We would give the hamburger steak a skip, it's a bit bland. My favorite was the cheese katsu -- they be real generous with the cheese. The cheese corn is also crazy cheesy and buttery, definitely worth the splurge. Just don't forget your lactase. The meals also come with miso (like the kind that comes from the soup dispensers in Asia), pickled radish/kimchi, mac salad, cabbage salad, and rice. 1/1 Stars for Value -- The King's Combo is $26 and it's enough to share between two people if you're not super hungry. Or order it for yourself and bring your leftovers home. Otherwise, expect to spend about $25pp with tax and tip. 1/1 Stars for Customer Service -- We've come at opening time twice on the weekend and beat the rush. The servers are super friendly and efficient. There are clean high chairs for the kiddos. Bonus star because it's a kid friendly place and we would definitely visit again when we are craving fried goodies. read more
Small place, with a few tables and vents still exist of what looks like an old kbbq restaurant. Not sure if venting still works. Served with water and some pickled veggies and kimchi. Service was a bit lacking where we had to call over the waiter or wave them down multiple times. First time at a Korean katsu place, overall the batter felt heavier and slightly more greasy because of it. 3.8/5 - Cheese Katsu - Wanted to try this as I never had a cheese katsu. Definitely tastes like a Korean corn dog if you ever have one. A block of cheese inside a crispy outer batter and meat. Lacking seasoning overall just tasted like a blob of cheese with meat. Careful spicy sauce is quite spicy compared to the normal sauce which is no spice and on the sweeter side. Sides review no score. Coleslaw uses a sesame dressing which is better than plain mayo. Mac salad is only carrots and macaroni which only tasted sweet no tang or other veggies in it read more

All hail to the king of katsu! Be prepared to feast like a royalty! Squeezed into a corner of a moderately sized shopping center in the fringes of Newark, King Katsu Land is cooking up some monster sized fried pork cutlets with sides of curry, rice, coleslaw and other fried goodies like cheese katsu. Infamously known for its novelty size, the taste and value are certainly other qualities to celebrate. This recent newcomer took over a seldomly visited spot and has definitely drawn the attention of hungry patrons looking to not only satisfy their stomaches but also to allow their eyes to feast on the golden crispy crusted pork patty the size of a giant dinner plate. Based on our experience, they seem to be primed to stay with excellent service, delicious food, and amazing value. We got a take out order with a variety of items and they all hit the spot and satisfied a craving or two. Their menu is quite simple with their katsu being the main attraction with each offering regular and spicy variations as well as the option to add on curry to go with the protein. King katsu - this monstrosity is a wonder to behold. All of its crispy goodness packed in a box comparable to a personal sized pizza box, ready to be cut into and dipped into a hot bowl of their curry. This is by far, a must get here, unless you opt for the super king combo that includes this and a fish katsu and hamburger steak. It comes in pork or chicken (halal). Definitely shareable - I'd gander for about 4 people or 2 really hungry ones. Cheese katsu - gooey, crispy and stretchy. This is a fun one to eat but it sneaks up on you and will certainly stuff you up. Consider sharing so you can save some space for that king katsu, but who am I kidding, you still won't finish in one sitting. Eat it while it's still warm! Curry - creamy and full of umami. Don't sit out on this curry as it'll elevate your katsu experience and give you something else to dunk your rice in! Definitely worth the extra charge. Overall, King Katsu Land will certainly pique your interest with the sheer size of their main dish but will have you coming back because of the effort they put into preparing each dish to provide rich flavors and complex textures in each bite. For those looking for something you likely won't be able to cook or have the desire to make at home, this unique eat will keep you full for at least two meals! Look no further than the King for your katsu cravings! read more

Spacious restaurant in the Balentine Plaza. We ordered the King combo, cold soba, and fried shrimp to share. The king combo had pork, shrimp, burger patty and an egg. For the Korean style katsu, the pork is very very thin. Their wonton beef batter it was coated in is very crunchy, but be prepared to see a thin piece of pork. The burger patty was flavorful but small. And fried fish was crispy. It seems like they make the soba in house? When we originally placed the order, the server needed to go back to the kitchen to see if the soba machine was working? Nonetheless, the noodles were very chewy and perfect for a hot day. read more

I went to King Katsu Land for the first time and returned less than a week later. The portions are huge, very shareable. Out of the fish, chicken and pork, the chicken is my fave. Don't get me wrong tho, they're all good. I've tried the curry, regular and spicy sauces. My favorite is the spicy. It was spicier than I expected and the heat builds. It also has a slightly sweet flavor to it. Love it. Cheese corn, rice cakes and fried chicken were all good. I'm definitely getting the cheese corn again next time I visit. The servers were nice and checked on us often both times I went. I'm a fan read more
We got the King Katsu and the Cheese Katsu, and wow -- when the King Katsu hit the table, we were shocked at how huge it was. We even said we could've just shared that one dish and been totally satisfied, but ordering only one plate felt a little embarrassing. The katsu was super tender, super crispy, and the sides (mac salad, cabbage salad, and rice) were such a great combo. The Cheese Katsu was tasty but definitely on the heavier side. After a few pieces, it gets pretty rich. I loved that they have frozen drinks! We tried the Sikhye slush (Korean rice punch), and it was delicious -- cold, sweet, and perfect with fried food on a warm day. Service was awesome too. Right after ordering, they brought out miso soup and a trio of pickles: yellow radish, kimchi radish, and pickled cucumber. My only note is that all the pickles were a bit too sweet; a little more acidity would've balanced the meal perfectly. And seriously, the King Katsu set is gigantic. When I packed up my leftovers, it looked like I had an entire second meal. Such a great deal. Highly recommend! I'm definitely coming back to try the frozen lemonade and the fried chicken. read more
HUGE portions Came in not expecting the size to be that much. Chicken was tasty from the Chicken Katsu dish, they served it with rice, salad and mac. My friend that ordered the Snowflake Cheese Katsu loved his dish as well. Our server was very kind and friendly, throughout the whole dinner. Pretty hidden for the location but definitely one of those "Don't judge the outside" type or restaurant. read more
I normally don't eat Chicken Katsu as I originally came here from TikTok recommendation? Arrived at 11am direct, ordered the Chicken Katsu plate. They provided a nice set of Korean Light dishes which were pleasant. Once the dish arrived, I was shocked at how huge the portion sizes were? Like goddamn, first in my lifetime to see Katsu of this size? Taste wise it's great, no issues whatsoever. The regular or spicy sauce is just right. I chose to only eat half and eat the rest tomorrow to avoid over eating. 100% I will make efforts to come here once a month, the price for a plate of this metric is absolutely amazing. read more
After seeing all the good reviews, we decided to give this spot a try today. We had five parties in front of us so we had to wait, not a big deal right? The wait took over 30 minutes. You can see once inside that this restaurant is not particularly big. There were vents that were non-functioning which suggested that this spot may be an old Korean BBQ joint at one point. We were pretty hungry at this point and throughout the meal, despite us attempting to flag them down multiple times for service, it was pretty apparent that the staffs were not trained to accommodate a full restaurant. To the food, we ordered: King's Combo (Pork Katsu, Fish Katsu, Hamburger steak) - 3 out of 5 I asked for regular and spicy sauce. I got only the regular sauce and it's this real sweet sauce that I'm guessing a mix of a little bit of curry and a lot of American bbq sauce? This kinda makes the pork katsu tasted mediocre which I was quite disappointed. The fish katsu is basically fried fish paired with tartar sauce and the hamburger steak you get a sunny sided egg on top of your meat. The cabbage, macaroni and rice came on the side. The katsu sauce for the pork katsu kinda killed it for me. It was the main protein for this dish and it just didn't deliver it for me. Half & half chicken (Original & Yang-Nyeom) - 3 out of 5 The chicken came were made from chicken seemingly from the breast area. They were extremely dry and it was shocking to my wife that they were not wings or thighs. For me personally, because I'm not a fan of chicken breast meat in general, this didn't do it for me. If you like Korean styled fried chicken, you may want to give this one a skip. Extra Fried Rice - 4 out of 5 This was a side dish that we wanted just to give ourselves some more carbs. They tasted typical and were fine but nothing too special. Rice Punch Slush (Sikhye) - 3 out of 5 I was curious as to the taste so we ordered one. Let's just say that if you're not a big fan of rice drinks in general, give this one a pass. Personally if you ask me for what it taste like I would say it's similar to rice wine without the wine but added sugar to it. Service - 3 out of 5 We had a hard time trying to get a waiter/waitress to help us consistently for basic items like napkins and water. I had to personally go up one or two times. I think they definitely need to train their staffs more to accommodate busy traffic inside the restaurant. Overall I would say that I'm not a huge fan from my experience eating at King Katsu Land. Having had katsus from Katsu factory I would say that Katsu factory from Satomi does a better job with a variety of dressing/seasonings that they offer. I think King Katsu Land offers a lot of food people love on paper but the implementation of these dishes can definitely be worked on more along with their handling of customers from their staff. Would I come back? Nahhhh.... read more
King Katsu Land has recently opened in Newark whereas their first location is in Daly City. I'm glad that they made it to the other side of the Bay since locals here have to commute longer to get to the other location. I know this area for a while since a few businesses used to open there, but I hope that this restaurant turns out good here. They're known for serving large portions of katsu here and that didn't really surprised me as much once they bring out my meal here. All that including soup and other foods for at least $19.95? Count me in! Food is really good here and I like we have a sauce pitcher to pour it to the katsu. I usually dip it to the pitcher and sometimes pour it just to get a bit of experience. I really love how flaky the katsu is as well as the crisps I'm hearing. Because the portion size is too big, I ended up taking the rest to-go and obviously don't want to end up being full when I get home. I usually finish meals without taking to-go at the end, but not this time. I hope that this restaurant goes well and probably should try other katsu dishes here especially the cheesy one I kept seeing online. Honestly saw a good representation there. Don't know if they go on a metal tray, but I gotta find out when I come back. read more

My group of 3 came on a Saturday at 6:45pm and immediately got a table. It looks like they took over the space of a Korean bbq because they still left the bbq hoods. It got more busier later on and people had to wait to be seated. We were offered complimentary miso soup and ban chan which was nice. We ordered the king katsu with curry sauce, cheese katsu with spicy tonkatsu sauce and cold soba. Every katsu dish comes with a scoop of rice, mac salad and coleslaw. The pork katsu was bigger than my face. Both katsu dishes were fried well, it didn't taste greasy at all. Pork was tender, not dry. The cheese katsu is best eaten immediately. Once the cheese cools down it's not as good. Loved the curry sauce more than the spicy tonkatsu. Next time I'll choose the regular tonkatsu sauce. The cold soba was really satisfying on this particular hot day. We definitely had left overs to take home. read more
We got the king katsu combo with pork katsu, fish and small hamburg steak and egg. Our favorite was the fish katsu. it blow us away and the pork was not bad and spicy curry sauce was not bad too. The cold so a noodle was perfect but without any meat. it doesn't justify the price tho in my opinion.... Would like to try the corn cheese next time. Boneless chicken wasn't as good as with bones. read more

Yo the portions are HUGE! You most definitely get your money's worth. Went on a Friday evening and although there was a lot of people, we were able to sit down right away. I think the lines were starting to form after we sat down. The staff were pretty busy but they made sure to get to us when they could and they apologized for the wait. Ambiance was simple and neat. Spacious inside. We ordered: -King Katsu with spicy sauce (order spicy if you like spicy!) -Fish Katsu (my order, I give it a 5/5 that tartar sauce is delicious) -Udon -Tteokboki Katsu (spicy!) doesn't come with rice and Mac salad FYI Overall the Katsu had the right amount of crunch and breading. Not too thick and seasoned well. It didn't feel too oily or heavy at all. The Mac salad, cabbage salad, and rice was good. The banchan was basic. I'm hoping this place remains busy and wishing good prosperity! This location is notorious for changing businesses. Good luck King Katsu Land! I'll be back again. read more
My cousin took me out for a birthday lunch at the newly opened King Katsu Land. We arrived before the lunch rush but it was already semi busy for a Monday afternoon. We were seated quickly by our helpful server. The menu was extensive but settled with the pork and chicken katsus with original and curry gravies on the side. The portions were enormous and we ended up splitting and sharing our orders. Everything we ordered didn't disappoint. We also had leftovers to take home. I'll definitely back to try their other menu items! read more
After seeing their name pop up on the building I had been waiting for their grand opening announcement! I was able to go this weekend and to be honest, a little glad I beat the crowds. (if you're familiar with their Dalt City location, there's almost always a wait there!) My husband and I shared the pork katsu with whipped sweet potatoes (YES, these plates are big enough to share!) Along with the korean fried chicken-I got the half and half so I could try to 2 different flavors. The katsu was good, although I feel like the sweet potato stood out more when we've had it in Daly City. I do think their sauce overpowered everything so next time I would ask for sauce on the side. The Korean fried chicken was very crispy, also a huge shareable portion! I feel neither flavor left me craving more, but they were both good as a side - I couldn't eat more than a few of either one. The yangyeom does have a nice kick to it while the garlic butter was very garlicky and very buttery-the garlic was very overpowering. We ran into a friend so we traded off each other's plates just to be able to try the other options and we agreed the plain chicken was a better option, they had spicy sauce on the side which was a perfect dipping sauce for the chicken. Definitely would do that next time. read more
I saw someone's photo for this business calling this the "cursed spot" and I have not been in the East Bay area long enough to know why it's considered curse, but I don't think King Katsu Land has to worry. My parents are near their Daly City location and so they have raved NONSTOP about this place, but I have yet to make an effort to go so I was pleasantly surprised when they decided to expand their operations to Newark. My husband and I came by on a Friday evening around 6pm and it was already somewhat packed, but we were still able to get seated promptly. The menu is straightforward - we already had an idea on what we would like to order. The katsu here is no joke. It's insanely big for the price you're paying and well worth the cost. Between the katsu, the rice, the macaroni salad, and the regular salad, there's enough food to keep you fed for the night and have some for the next day. Service was friendly and welcoming. My only complaint is that it took a while for the food to come and they're in soft opening phase right now so you'll have to be patient. read more

Love the name, sounds almost biblical. King of Katsus. Hailing from The Land. King Katsu Land. Man the Katsu concept is kinda blowing up in 2026. My town alone has now 3 spots where their concept focuses on this one dish. That wasn't the case even just a year ago. Their menu is pretty concise. Katsus (maybe 3-4 types of protein), they have KFC (Korean fried chicken) and maybe a few soups. They attach so many sides that a meal here is crazy generous and filling. For the suburbs this will be a great fit. Upon sitting and taking your order, a small cup of miso soup arrives along with 3 banchans. A tangy pickled cucumber one; a pickled sweetish daikon one; and another daikon one in cubes but done more in the spicy kimchi fashion. All were really good and they ask if you want any refills. Hell ya! Terra Beer ($7) I asked for the small size but was surprised that it was at least a 16 oz bottle. Usually smalls are 12 oz. Also never heard of this Korean brand but it was crisp and tasty. King Katsu Platter ($26/4*) Monster plate! First time here so I wanted to sample around. For sides this had a ton of cabbage salad with a sweet mayo dressing, a scoop of mac salad and a scoop of white rice. Comes with 3 proteins: a pork katsu which was a huge flattened cutlet breaded with a super crisp panko coating. This was my fave of the 3, pork was juicy and flavorful. The fish katsu was a thickish slab, probably a basa or swai, very tender and contrasted well with the crisp coating. This was less seasoned than the pork tho so less impressive to me. Then came a small hamburger patty with a sunny side egg on top. Normally I like these but the burger was more meatloaf-y in texture. Had a good onion flavor but it was quite bland. I think they should season it more. But they do give you a ton of whatever sauce you choose, but I didn't think to use the katsu sauce for the burger. I should have. Still want to try their KFC, and I love their sides. Service is super nice, more western in smiles and check-ins. I can see myself being a semi-reg here. Let us feast in thy Land...hail hail the Katsu King. . read more

Unfortunately, I forgot to take photos of the food, so I'm attaching my credit card receipt instead to show that I actually dined here. Honestly, I don't understand why this place has such high ratings. We ordered the fried chicken, assorted katsu platter, cheese katsu, and soba. I had seen this restaurant all over Instagram and had a decent experience at their Daly City location, so I was excited to try this newly opened one. To be honest, I can't understand the reviews unless people are being influenced by social media or simply don't know what good katsu and fried chicken should taste like. The soba and fried chicken were honestly terrible. The katsu was dry and lacked juiciness, and the hamburger steak included in the assorted katsu platter tasted like a cheap frozen patty with very little flavor. We spent close to $130 because we wanted to try a variety of dishes, but unfortunately, not a single one stood out. Most of the food was left unfinished because we simply didn't enjoy it. read more

Great! The katsu was fantastic. Crispy yet moist inside! I had the kings combo which came with fried fish (with tartar sauce) and burger (with an on top!) along with Mac salad and cabbage salad with rice. Also ordered the half and half boneless chicken with yangnyeom and garlic butter. It's a huge order! The service was great, they were all super nice. read more

The serving size was HUGE!! I came here on a Friday and it was a bit busy. I ordered a pork Katsu and didn't expect such a big amount of food! It was pretty good and the food came out fairly quickly. I will be coming back again soon! read more
