    Mix Katsu Combo (PorkChickenCurry) - $19.99
    Ian A.

    This is a well-deserved review update. I have revisited Kz Mori (West Covina) over six times. It's not fine dining; rather, it's a guilty local pleasure. The food is hot, large, and satisfying. Today, I had a good experience at Kz Mori (West Covina). I ordered the Mix Katsu Combo ($19.99). It's pork katsu, chicken katsu, curry sauce, fresh & clean rice, salad, and miso soup. It's a lot of food. I arrived on Wednesday (around 8:10PM). Parking is easy on a late evening. Although the lot is typically competitive, there were not too many cars in this large lot this night. Customers can order at the self-service kiosk or the counter. Staff is friendly and pleasant. Staff hands an electronic pager which lights up when your food is ready. My meal took seven minutes and 32 seconds. As mentioned, I ordered the Mix Katsu Combo ($19.99). Quality is usually consistent, but it was a little burnt and dry this evening. Still, it tasted satisfying when slathered with its well-seasoned curry. Personally, I found a lot of enjoyment with the fresh steamed white rice. Still, it's a guilty pleasure that serves huge portions. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Regarding ambiance, Kz Mori (West Covina) is located in the popular Haven City Market. There's plenty of indoor tables, and there's still many customers despite the late hours[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]. [[HIGHLIGHT]]I especially appreciated the flat screen TVs showing the basketball game.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Overall, Kz Mori (West Covina) is a decent option when craving some crispy katsu and clean steamed rice. The portion is HUGE and its price is competitive. If nearby, it's a good option. 4.5 out of 5

    This place is located inside Haven City Market with a lot of other food, dessert, and snack places. I was craving katsu so I decided to try Kz Mori out. Their tofu katsu caught my eye, as I rarely see plant based options for katsu! I ended up ordering the pork cutlet for myself. They give you a buzzer so you can walk around while you wait for your food. I didn't have to wait too long while browsing the other stalls and supermarket. I was surprised how large the portion size is, but I think it was perfect for the price. The cutlet was thin and evenly cooked. I've had much better katsu, this one felt a little dry, lacked rich flavor, and the breading was sparse and not crunchy at all. However, it was a very filling meal, and I definitely had leftovers. To be honest, I loved the sides more than the cutlet. The rice was fluffy and the cabbage salad was refreshing. I also got a simple miso soup.

    I just like their chicken katsu and their udon soup. The portion size is right and the flavors are consistent. No rice this time, just got extra veggies, and it all went well together. They are keeping the five stars from last year. Five stars.

    I was craving something similar to what you'd find at L&L .. located in the Haven City food court, this restaurant caught my eye. Growing up in Hawaii, I love a good chicken katsu plate. I was pleasantly surprised at their generous portion sizes (especially in this economy)! I had enough food for two meals. The katsu was very crispy. Even my boyfriend enjoyed it. He also liked the shredded cabbage and dipping sauces. I wish that the chicken was a little more tender. But for the price point, service, and portion sizes I can't complain. I noticed they had combos as well. I'll definitely be back to try some of their other offerings!

    Food: whatever you get, it's going to be HUGE!!! the portion size is for two or keep half and take it home; the Chicken Katsu was good Service: great, timely service Design: [[HIGHLIGHT]]inside the Haven City Market West Covina food hall[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Overall: if you want good Katsu or Curry Katsu, then check out this place in West Covina

    We were totally undecided on dinner, but randomly picking katsu turned out to be a fantastic call! The meal was super quick--only about 10 minutes--and everything tasted incredibly fresh. We went with the Chicken Katsu with Curry, which seems to be a popular choice, and it was amazing. I loved every single bite! Even better? The portions are huge! It easily fed both of us with some satisfying leftovers to spare. If you're looking for a quick, fresh, and filling meal, this is definitely the move.

My friends ordered the Side Cheese Katsu (surprising for me, since I'm lactose intolerant) to share. They had a nice crispy coating and came out hot and fresh. The cheese flavor itself was a little lighter than I expected. Definitely tasted better with the sauce than without it. Overall, it was a decent dish, around a 7/10 for me. The portion was fair, and the presentation was clean. I'd be open to trying one of their other katsu options next time to see how they compare.

    KZ Mori is located in this trendy food court we happened across called Haven City Market (located closer to the GW supermarket). Even though we got our order to-go, the packaging was convenient to save leftovers...which there definitely were a lot of. There wasn't a line, so we were served pretty quickly. [[HIGHLIGHT]]We found seating easily in the dining area near the entrance.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Pork Katsu Curry ($18.99): The pork cutlet was perfectly crispy on the outside and tender inside. It came with a rich, savory curry sauce, a big scoop of fluffy white rice, and a fresh bed of shredded cabbage with sesame dressing on the side. Curry Udon ($13.99): It used the same curry base paired with chewy udon noodles. It was topped with corn, onions, and crunchy tenkasu bits that gave each bite a nice texture contrast. Cheese Katsu ($5.99): Basically an upgraded mozzarella stick. Golden, melty, and indulgent in the best way. It was a little pricy as we were only given 2 short pieces.

    I enjoy their katsu- Crunchy, tender pork and chicken, and flaky fish. It's light and not overly seasoned. The mix combo comes with soup and a tub of curry. Not much of a Japanese curry lover, so I usually dip in soy and hot sauce mix. I also had their udon. It was good. Not something I would be overly excited about. The portions are huge. Cashiers have always been patient and helpful. It's one of the many food stalls/kiosks inside the Haven City Market, where you walk up to order the pick-up the food when the buzzer goes off. For dine-in in the cafeteria style tables and benches or for take-out.

    We came here with a group of friends after a car show at the Fairplex. We knew we wanted some great food and one of our friends mentioned this place. So we had to try it. We ordered the chicken katsu meal and my oh my, was that meal HUGE. They give you so much food that I had leftovers for two days. The chicken was so tender and the katsu was perfect. not too hard and crunchy enough to enjoy. The meal comes with a huge side of white rice, a salad, and miso soup. Everything was delicious and you can easily share the food amongst two people (notated for next time). [[HIGHLIGHT]]The spot is located in Haven City food hall so it can get busy and may be hard to find a table.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]Be patient because tables open up and there is also seating areas outside, if needed.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] On my next visit, I will be sure to come back and possibly order the pork katsu because that looked really good.

    Mixed Katsu Combo (PorkChickenCurry)
    Yolanda Q.

    Honestly, I consider this one of the best places to get chicken katsu from. I always order the combo because it comes with both chicken and pork katsu, rice, salad, miso soup, and curry. In my opinion every single items has so much good flavor. The breading in the katsu is seasoned well, the meat itself is tender and seasoned well. I like the chicken katsu a little more than the pork but it can also be tasty. The katsu sauce tastes great. The salad dressing is delicious and has a little kick. The curry has much more heat but is delicious. The miso soup is great as well. The katsu portions are generous. Not only is this combo shareable but you may end up with left overs.

    Curry Chicken

    Honestly blown away with this spot! Really exceeded my expectations. Menu is simple and too the point, there are different types of Katsu (Pork, Chicken, fish, tofu, and cheese) as well as Udon and a few appetizers. When ordering, the service was quick and the server was nice. I feel like I've been accustomed to feeling like spots in these social food courts are more hype than actual quality and many times overpriced for what you get. This spot really showed me otherwise. The portions was well worth the price tag, for myself, I could have easily shared this meal. I ordered the Curry Chicken Katsu. The meal came with Miso Soup, Rice, Salad, and Katsu Sauce. Everything about this meal was good. The soup wasn't too salty, the rice was cooked well, the salad was fresh, and the sauces really added to the meal. The Katsu was super crunchy and not oily, probably one of the best Katsu I've had that wasn't from a restaurant. The curry was really good and had a little bit of spice. All in all, highly recommend giving this spot a try next time you're at the Haven City Market!

    This restaurant is located in Haven City Market in West Covina. We decided to order the Mix Katsu Combo for $19.99 for to go. Surprisingly, this combo comes with a generous portion of rice, salad with dressing, pork and chicken katsu, miso soup, and katsu and curry sauce. This is such a good value and delicious meal! We couldn't finish everything even when 2 adults were eating this combo meal. The curry tasted so good and thick, not too watery. The service was fast and the cashier was friendly and took our order promptly. [[HIGHLIGHT]]There are plenty of tables and chairs indoor and outdoor. It has such a chill & relaxing feeling here.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Next time maybe we'll come back and enjoy our food there.

    I am surprised that this place was half empty…read more I really liked this place. Its a good spot to hangout. 4 LCD screens had news, Miyazaki anime and their chashu torched on the repeat. The food was prepared within timely manner. The tan tan men took slightly longer. The broth was great, not crazily salty but got a kick to it. The chashu wasnt too fat but got a good mixed of marbling. The portion was good. I was full without having side dishes. The waitress was attentive and friendly. Overall, I think this place deserves a 4.5 out of 5.

    I had such a hard time deciding on what to get because everything looked so good here! I opted for…read morethe shoyu ramen and had no regrets. There's an option to request for less salt in the broth which I really appreciated. It hit the spot without making me feel like I sacrificed my kidney. The texture of the fresh noodles were cooked perfectly and the broth had just the right punch to it without being too oily. The chashu had the right amount of fattiness. My friend got the tonkatsu red and loved it. He's not normally someone that compliments food so I was a bit surprised. We both wiped our bowls clean and left no noodz behind. We also ordered a shareable agedashi tofu which was delicious as well. Service was great. The staff was polite and checked in on us a few times. The space is very modern and well kept. There's a lot of tables so it isn't a problem bringing larger groups here. Parking is very easy since it's in a huge lot. It's been awhile since I've found a ramen spot that thoroughly impressed me. I can't wait to be back to try the rest of the menu items!

    Right amount of spice for extra spicy.   Just enough to make you clear your throat after the initial mix.
