Krazy Katsu is undoubtedly a hidden gem! It's pretty unassuming from the outside- a cute decorated train cart with some outdoor patio seating. But their food is easily some of the best Asian fusion in San Antonio. Everything was a FLAVOR BOMB. You cannot go without trying their pandan burger. And their banana pudding is so yummy. Their saiyan tacos are like bites of heaven ... But we tried everything and we're blown away. The staff is incredibly sweet and nice. The restroom is clean and there's seating inside but its hot either way so we enjoyed the shaded patio and tvs. Highly reccommend this place for anyone looking for something unique and flavorful.

Bangin chicken for sure but their burgers are super worth trying too, especially if they have the pandan buns available. Tons of great flavors and toppings galore, the macaroni topped chicken sando is my go-to and if they have the curry katsu, I'm elated. Take the homies, order some of their chicken slider flights and maybe split a burger and you'll find your new go-to order but I haven't been disappointed by any visit.

We stopped for coffee and saw the cute chicken logo on the building, so of course we had to check it out. Very reasonable prices! We had the chicken strip meal which came with fries and a small cole slaw and a $5 smash burger. The chicken was moist and tender. They have a large selection of dipping sauces! The smash burger was also delicious. Cashier was very friendly. They have a small seating area indoors, and a very nice patio seating area. Definitely recommend that you check it out!

OMFG!!! This place was off the charts. I was hangry and couldn't decide what I wanted. They ended up recommending a choice with 3 sliders. The Deebo was to die for. Also ordered a side of filthy animal fries that could have been a full course meal all on its own. This was just the food. The people there added to the place. They came out and talked to us for quite awhile. Made us feel like we had been going there for years. Just moved right around the corner from here. This is going to become a weekly visit for us. If I could give higher than 5 stars I would.

Chicken Katsu Tender Meal (w FRIES and SLAW) - SPECIAL Sauces: BBQ Gochujang, Chipotle Ranch, Smack Sauce
Michelle H.

I think I just found my new favorite restaurant here in San Antonio! Krazy Katsu is located at The Yard Shopping Center. The complex is a really cool area where all the stores are located in train carts, next to a train track. The patio was really nice as there was an event going on and music too. That patio was also pet friendly! The lady who took my order was also very patient and happy to explain their menu as they have a lot of choices. We got the *5 piece Katsu Nunchucks Meal that comes with fries, slaw and 3 sauces (BBQ Gochujang, Chipotle Ranch, and Smack Sauce) We also got *1 Slide Chick with the Asian Hot Honey Flavor. The total came out to $43.88 with 2 drinks, but considering the fact the tenders were HUGEE... I'd say it was definitely worth it! The chicken was crispy but juicy while the sauces were all super unique and flavorful. There were so many unique, yummy options on the menu that I had a hard time choosing. I will definitely be back again to try more on their menu and highly recommend everyone visit Krazy Katsu to satisfy your fried chicken cravings!

Fries

Been wanting to try this place for a while but didn't realize how close it was to the quarry! Took it to-go, the location is a little small but with a huge patio and tvs on the deck. The food was great and the katsu is very crispy and crunchy. We both loved the flavors of the katsu, Mac, and OG fries. The vivis fries were good but I feel like the cheese sauce solidified too fast and then it was hard to eat. Maybe a little less sauce on the to-go orders would work better but since we did to-go it could also be the distance we drove home before eating. The lady near the front counter was super nice and helpful to help us get our order. Will need to return when we are near the quarry.

This place is awesome. The food is delicious and you get a lot of it. You will no walk away hungry. The staff were very nice and friendly. The only thing I would give a negative is the fries. The fries are just okay. They are too thick in my opinion. The seasoning was good not great. I think it's a place to check out if you're interested in a good meal.

Amazing service and great food! This is the food truck so I can speak on atmosphere but the service is outstanding and the food is fresh! It was our first time and we are in love!

An amazing chicken sandwich spot housed in a cool old train car!
Danny C.

Krazy Katsu is home to the biggest and possibly the crispiest chicken sandwich this side of the Mississippi - and the other side, too! These sandwiches are MASSIVE! Come hungry! The options are plentiful, but my go-to faves are the Anchor and the Deebo. All their sandwiches come on fluffy buns made fresh by a local (legendary) bakery and brought in daily. Pro tip: order the 3 slide chicks and try 3 different "mini" sandwiches. Be warned, even the sliders are substantial. The sides are great, too! Their house-made Japanese pickled cucumbers are tangy and sweet; the perfect side for the sandwiches. Low-carb? No prob! Ask for grilled chicken (and double the protein - because... why not?) on any of the sandwiches! One more thing, and this is a fun one: this place makes the tastiest smash burger in San Antonio! If chicken isn't your thing or you want to change things up, order one of their burgers. You won't regret it.

A good truck feel but stationary with outdoor patio seating only. This place was delicious! If you are hungry, a couple of their oversized chicken tenders will be plentiful. The outside was crispy savoring each bite! There are a few outdoor seating under a shaded canopy, but this probably won't do much in the summer heat. There are a lot of flies that require constant swatting. The service was friendly and very helpful by explaining everything off the menu of it is your first time there like us. Will definitely be back. Enjoy!

3 piece tenders with ranch
Christian D.

Krazy Katsu has a very cozy dining area and great customer service, however I was not a fan of the food itself. I ordered the 3 tender meal and the OG Katsu Fries (the name was something similar to that), and was slightly disappointed that the food didn't taste as good as it looked. The breading they use on the chicken is very crispy (which I liked), however it had a slight aftertaste that sort of reminded me of cheap fried school lunch. The regular fries were very good however, but the OG Katsu fries were drowned in cheese and sauce. To a point where it made my stomach hurt midway through the meal. Overall, I'd be hesitant to give this place another visit, but I'll keep an open mind in the future; I'd like to try their spicy options.

$5 Smashed Burger with fries
Sand J N.

The BEST of the BEST. 2 of the best tasting chicken sliders with extra crispy crinkle seasoned fries, O G slider and Hot Kutsu so DELICIOUS. The best customer service ever and ALWAYS. This is the place to come eat on a dime, $5 smashed burger and $10 slider combo with fries.

4 stars because there's only like 1 combo meal and the rest you have to pay for everything separate like fries and a drink HOWEVER .. The food was amazing and extremely filling! I got the 3 tender plate and I ate 1 tender!!! and i was full The service was great and the lady at the front (didn't get her name) Was super nice! The ambience was great we went to a birthday lunch here and since it was nice and breezy outside it was perfect. I would definitely go back when i'm craving a good chicken meal

Do they have grilled chicken or a gluten free bun?

Hi Lauren! We do offer grilled options for any of our chicken items. While we don’t have gluten-free buns, you’re welcome to bring your favorite gluten-free bun, and we’ll gladly use it for your order. Hope to see you soon!

Any vegan option whether it be a tofu katsu or chikn katsu type sandwiches?

The only vegan option would be the Mac n cheese

FIRST TIME VISIT!…read more Woohoo! Been looking for chili cheese fries and happened upon a review for this place boasting fries with a homemade chili so we HAD TO stop in tonight. THE LOCATION: on the very end of a string of businesses in a strip mall that I've never been in before, so that was cool. Lots of parking, that'll never be an issue. And right off the 410. THE MENU: Burgers, dogs, Mexi-style munchies and a variety of frozen dessert-type items like shakes, frozen fruit concoctions and Italian ice. THE STAFF: I wasn't overwhelmed with a warm welcome and smiles, at least from the guys. Lol! They should really work on that. There was a sweet gal who ran out our food orders and she was great. THE FOOD: I ordered the grilled chicken sandwich deluxe with tots and a sweet tea. The grilled chicken was juicy and cooked well and the bun was lovely, slightly sweet and toasted. Overall, the sandwich could've used more flavor, like a creamy bbq spread and cheddar instead of the "Swiss" cheese that tasted more like American cheese. But overall, 7/10. The tots were extra crispy and the guy who took my order didn't take heed to my request for ranch. I was too lazy to get up again so I settled for ketchup. The sweet tea was nicely sweet and fresh, I'll be sipping this in my dreams. The hubby ordered the bacon cheeseburger with chili cheese fries and an Oreo cookie shake. The burger looked good and he ate it quick, so there's that. This guy can EAT so it surprised us both when he slowed down fast after eating that burger. Lol! He kept saying how filling it was, but then he also killed a large shake before the food arrived, so there's that. He ate most of his chili cheese fries, leaving me a few bites to sample. Not bad. I order a Coco Haven frozen dessert to go and omg is this thing delightful! Vanilla ice cream and coconut Italian ice (?) with a blue snow cone-like syrup drizzled throughout. I loved the texture of what I believed to be Italian ice. Smooth and flaky, a perfect icy dessert. OVERALL: decent eatery, the hubby said we can go back (LOL!) Shockerrrrr! But I recommend the staff tries harder to make customers feel welcomed and comfortable. The next visit will be telling.

But they do lettuce wrapped, still not the same though. The service is always great since I have the extra modifications.

They've got a solid lineup of burgers on the menu, but I was there for one thing, their Philly cheesesteaks. We both ordered the fully loaded version with fajita peppers and a side of crispy tots. The sandwich was stacked, flavorful, and cooked just right, easily one of the better cheesesteaks you'll find around here. If you're looking for great burgers and even better cheesesteaks, Smash'd is absolutely your spot. Friendly service, good portions, and a menu that hits the mark. Highly recommend checking it out.

Yeah, okay, it's convenient, but by the time you pay to park (minimum of four hours, which pissed me off) and then have your tiny, overpriced burger...you gonna be mad. Do yourself a favor and fight for street parking. I walked up to the outside counter Saturday night about 7:20. Never been here. The ladies behind the counter obviously could NOT have cared less. No nice welcome...no pleasantries. Nothing said. I spoke first, asking about seating availability inside (it was chilly), and they were rude - looked at me like I was from outer space and said they didn't know. They said they didn't know in that "yeah, good luck with that...it's Saturday at 7, dumbass" kinda way. How could you not know? And if you truly didn't know, which one of them should have gone to check for me. So I went and checked myself. Turns out: plenty of seating. Returned to the chilly duo and placed my order. Ordered the Wake and Bacon burger. I also ordered a Topo Chico, which was also met with a blank "are you from this planet?" stare. How do you not have Topo Chico or something similar !? The burger was just okay. Tiny, but tasty. Fries were so salty and over-seasoned as to be almost inedible. No one checked on me after bringing me my burger. Not one time. The only reason I gave the third star: neat, dog friendly outside area which would be cool for a group outing. Probably not going back.

Update to first review below, rating updated from a 3 to a 5 star (drinks & bartender would get 10+…read morestars if we could rate that high): Saturday night: Went back for after dinner drinks at the Downstairs (a "speakeasy" throwback, look up the history of the place to see why). Drinks were AMAZING! Bartender Rob made the best Negroni I've ever had. I asked him to use whatever gin he thought best--result was an artistic smooooooth full-bodied drink. Told him when I was done I'd lick the glass if it wasn't considered so uncouth for a 'mature' lady like myself to do so Hubby's Buffalo Trace bourbon old fashioned was also outstanding. Rob was the bartender last night who did such a great job, and his work was even better tonight. We highly recommend The EsquireTavern for excellent cocktails. We love the long wood bar and high copper ceiling upstairs, but love the intimate speakeasy atmosphere downstairs even more. We'll definitely be back every time we're in San Antonio! First review, Friday night: Drinks were great (Manhattan and Bourbon Old Fashioned). REAL drinks, no complaints at all about those. And the bartenders were very friendly and helpful. Those aspects of the Esquire get 5+ stars from us. But the appetizers were not good, close to inedible. It was about 8:30pm or so, so maybe they were getting ready to close out the kitchen but the chalupitas with chicken tasted like rubber, and no flavor at all. The seafood platter had something in it that was breading with shell inside, but no meat of any kind. We couldn't figure out what it was supposed to be. The shrimp was good and the fish was good but those other things... We'll always love the drinks, the long wooden bar, and the ambiance at the Esquire Tavern, but we'll eat somewhere else and come here for before or after dinner drinks. (See update above to this review for when we returned the next night for after dinner drinks.)

It's been a few years since I've been by; so, I was truly looking forward to getting something. I chose The Brat & tots (plain). I was very happy with my choice. The gentleman greeted me immediately. I thought it would take me a minute, but, as I stated, I chose The Brat immediately. I'm a little high strung from my age, so people kinda chuckle. It's cute. I make me smile. They put the perfect amount of mustard on it too! See the photos, but it comes covered with cabbage & crispy fried onions. It is amazing. I was able to get a whole 1/3 of it eaten before my body shut down. Tot wise, they were hot & perfectly fried! I like to dip mine in ketchup, but they offer you various other dips as well. So, I got ranch cuz, um, of course. Also, I really like their soda brand. I can't remember it, but it's a dia de los muertos skull for the logo, but I love their roots beer, which was my beverage of choice today. It's really a nice little place to just come in & sit & enjoy a yummy hotdog alone, or with family/friends.

My partner and I went on a Sunday morning just after 11am and there were already people coming in to eat. It's popular for a reason! I've eaten here a few times and had a very consistently good time, but this review will be about my most recent visit. We visited on a rainy day, but luckily we were able to snag one of the inside tables, we ordered at the counter and our orders arrived very quickly. I got the Ratchet dog which is a beef dog with queso, hot Cheetos and fried jalapeños. Dogfather uses quality dogs and buns for all of their gourmet dogs. I found the Ratchet to be meaty, salty with just right amount of spice from the jalapeños. My partner got the Pop it like it's hot, but removed the jalapeños. This was good but lacking a bit of flavor, however she and I both agreed that was on her for taking the jalapeños off the dog. Both dogs were extremely tasty, and we devoured both. I also got an order of curly fries loaded with their chili and cheese. For me, these did not have to go as HARD as they did. The chili they are using at Dogfather is seriously good, with a slight tang and a good amount of spice. It thrills but does not take away from your meal with too much heat. Very tasty. My only feedback is that Dogfather needs a larger space! There's a good size outside seating area, but for times like today when it's raining people need some coverage. They're doing it right and the crowds want to come! As I have stated this is a local favorite. If you live nearby, make it a regular spot. If you live in San Antonio, do yourself a favor and make a trip over at least sometimes. If you like hot dogs you won't go wrong.

These burgers were no joke: meat, cheese, grilled onions, and a secret sauce--and honestly, they didn't need anything else. The grilled onions and sauce were the perfect compliment, and you could taste every flavor in each bite. The drinks came in cans. I didn't notice a fountain setup, so that might be why. It would've been nice to have a cup with ice, but I didn't ask, so maybe that's an option. Overall, this place is definitely worth a try--and we will be back!
