Came here with the kids for some lunch as my son loves him some kimbap and bulgogi. The food was good, a solid base hit - my daughter liked her katsu curry, my son enjoyed the kimbap, and my bulgogi bowl was decent. It's a small shop, not too much seating wise, but we were the only ones there so it worked out fine. The service was fine overall as well - the drink machine was busted, but such is life. I got the kids a canned soda ( Where I have issue is something that's happened to me a few times now as of late, and that's higher prices on my bill than are listed in the menu. My bill total was ~$10 more than I had initially expected, and when I looked at the receipt I realized it was because every item I purchased was anywhere between $0.50 to $1.25 more than it showed on both the outside and inside menu. I can appreciate that costs are going up, but you must update your menu prices accordingly so that we as the customer can make our decisions accordingly. For that they dropped from 4 to 3 stars. Again, this isn't the first place I've had this experience at, and they were marked down accordingly as well. If you can take the time to update the prices in your register you can do the same on your outside board and inside screens. read more

Order was placed on DoorDash ahead of time and everything was ready upon arrival. Parking is plenty and free right near the entrance. It was off peak lunch hour where it's sometimes hard to find Asian restaurants that aren't on recess. I was happy to find Mori because of the convenient hours, location, and available method of ordering. The food I was provided blew me away. Every bite I had was flavorful and sumptuous. The spicy pork bowl and katsu bowl with fried rice gave me enough for 3 other lunch servings. The value and the taste of the food here is unmatched! I can't wait to try their other menu items in the future. read more

I stopped by Mori Katsu & Kimbap during lunch and the place was pretty empty, but I like supporting small businesses so I wanted to give it a try. The decor is modern fast-casual with a bold orange-and-black look, a ribbed black wall with the logo, and orange metal chairs. They had K-pop playing, which was fun while I waited. Service was fine overall, but the greeting felt a little flat, and the cashier assumed my order was to go, saying, "I'm guessing your order is to go, right?" It wasn't a huge deal, but it set a tone that wasn't very welcoming. I ordered the sesame chicken bowl. Presentation was decent at first and I had hope, but the texture and flavor didn't work for me. The breaded chicken was dry and chewy instead of crispy, and the sauce didn't taste like a sesame sauce. A little fresh garnish or actual sesame seeds could have helped, but as-is it felt pretty bland. I took a couple bites and couldn't finish it. I don't mind paying around $10 for lunch when it hits, but this one didn't. I'm glad I tried it, but it wasn't for me and I won't be returning. read more

The chicken katsu curry plate is really good! There is a generous portion of chicken, fried egg & a large side of curry. The cucumbers are seasoned well with a sesame sauce. My photo looks messy because I already dug into it but there was so much yummy food I'll be back. Only cons were only Pepsi products & the ice maker was broken. Also they don't have a spicy curry option but I went home & added my own hot sauce. read more

Mori Katsu & Kimbap - Chicken Katsu plate - Asian Fusion Near Me - Cypress, California

I was craving for some fried food, so I ordered the calamari rings. They used a tissue at the bottom to soak up the oil or for decoration (I am not sure). I noticed that the ink from the tissue was bleeding the red color due to the heat of the fried calamari. I did finish the food but I felt the grease entire day, like I dont know if I actually had any calamari or just eating the fried dough. Also, I would appreciate if the cashier would tell me about the extra % charge if using the credit card instead of having the customer reading the small sign. read more

Mori Katsu & Kimbap - Be aware when you use credit card, you will pay extra 4% - Asian Fusion Near Me - Cypress, California

Soft opening for this cute little place in Cypress that boasts tasty Asian plates. The big Spicy Tuna rolls were delicious and had just the right amount of kick for my son to enjoy it. The Sesame Chicken bowl was tasty as well although next time I'll ask for a bit more sauce to add more juiciness. Francisco was kind and helpful at the register as I waited for my food. I need to try the Bulgogi and Katsu Kimbap next time. They looked pretty good. read more

Was just on yelp to see what my stomach was feeling today and saw this new place pop up somehow The inside was very clean and has a tad bit of seating. Like only 2 ppl can sit per table. Will say that I wish they had music or something cuz it was dead silent and you can hear the echoes. The music would help and make it more lively for sure :))). Now the IMPORTANT STUFF I ordered one of the Mori combinations, to be specific it was a Kimbap and tempura udon. For the portion and price I'll say pretty dam affordable!!!! Tempura udon 7/10 idk what it was but it left a weird aftertaste in my mouth. Will say might try other idioms and see but this one I wasn't quite fond of Bulgolgi Kimbap 10000/10 will say portion is huge!! You can def taste the freshness of it and idk but hands down the best Kimbap I've tried so far!!! TO SUMMARIZE: get the Kimbap!!!! But will try more Kimbap and will come to try the other ones as well!!! They have a buy one get one 30% off for Kimbap read more

Mori Katsu & Kimbap - Asian Fusion Near Me - Cypress, California

New katsu, udon, and korean food stop located near Ralphs. It seems to be a fast casual type place with to-go options but a small dining space and only has tables that have 2 seats at them. Yakisoba had lots of beef and good flavor; the egg on top was a bonus. Spicy chicken actually wasn't that spicy but was a large portion and tasted good. The sides were a nice addition - mac salad and cucumbers in sesame oil. All in all, a good lunch spot although to go ordering is recommended. read more

I wanted to like Mori. I've heard a ton of good things, so I came in with high hopes--but honestly, it just didn't deliver for me. My biggest issue was the pricing compared to what you get. I ordered the standard bulgogi bowl, and the portion felt a little light right off the bat. I expected something a bit more filling or at least more balanced for the price point. Flavor-wise, it wasn't bad, but it was too sauced up like drowning. The bulgogi had potential, but the heavy hand with the sauce masked everything else in the bowl. It was hard to enjoy the different elements because they were all swimming in one overpowering flavor. I'm not saying they're always like this--maybe I just caught them on an off day. But from what I've been hearing, I expected something more impressive. I'm open to giving it another shot down the road, but based on this first visit, it didn't quite live up to the hype for me. read more

Ordered the chicken katsu and chicken yaki soba. Enjoyed both but I preferred my bf's katsu. I do enjoy the sides of pickled cucumbers and macaroni salad. Give this place a try! Nice customer service. read more

BOMB! Just ordered to go, just took a bite in my car. Opened my Yelp app ASAP so I don't forget to write a review on how tasty these kimbaps are. I'm currently in my kimbap era. I've been testing kimbaps all over town and these receive a 5/5! Very nice! Very fresh. Flavor is great. Bulgogi not dry, very juicy. read more

ordered to-go food at this place! got the curry katsu bowl, tuna mayo kimchi, and the katsu & spicy pork plates. i had no expectations going in since it was a soft opening but it turned out to be so good! prices are reasonable for what they give you, and the food itself was delicious. although, the spicy pork was not spicy at all, but didn't mind too much since it was still flavorful. will definitely plan to come here again some day (: read more

Service was great. The menu is easy to read with pictures so you know exactly what you're getting; the food really does look like the pictures. The food itself is just ok. Portions are large but taste is average. I ordered a pork curry katsu bowl. It came with two large katsu but they were 1/2 inch thin making them not so juicy once cooked. One thicker better executed would be more appealing. Lovely thin layer of a sweet sauce and cabbage under the katsu to separate it from the rice. Curry was just alright...Japanese curry from the box is more flavorful. Ordered a kimbap. Great flavor and generous filling. It's rolled by a machine and lacks the tension to hold it together. Falls apart as you eat it and sadly does not come with kimchee. Prices are high for just average food but you do get a lot of it. read more

We got the ramen and the kimbap, both portions were great. I was surprised by the Korean ramen, it was only 7.99, but the portion was good to share and brought back so much nostalgia. They make the ramen for you on the spot using the Korean ramen machines, and its topped with an ample amount of spring onions and egg. Overall solid, and I know I will be heading back for the ramen! read more

Mori Katsu & Kimbap - Ramen - Asian Fusion Near Me - Cypress, California

Ordered the spicy chicken plate, burdock/gobo kimbap, and fish cake kimbap. The burdock kimbap is now listed as "gobo kimbap" on their updated menu. Didn't know this prior to ordering and created a lil bit of confusion with the worker. Very generous portions for two, we had leftovers to save for dinner. Our takeout order came with two complimentary cups of soup. Fishcake kimbap was good, not too salty and just the right amount of flavor. Gobo kimbap was very crunchy, not the biggest fan. Since the rolls are bigger than the usual kimbap they were more fragile when picking them up. The spicy chicken wasn't that spicy, lacking in some flavor. It was stir fried with vegetables and rice cake. The cucumber side tasted better than the mac salad, which was bland. The soup was salty, but it went well with the other food as they were seasoned more lightly. Overall, a decent place for Korean takeout prepared in a more healthy fashion. read more

Never been here before. It was so delicious. I orders the Chicken Katsu Bowl and the Sesame Chicken. They both had great flavor and sauce. Then the kind woman behind the counter gave me Kimbap for free! It was so nice of her. And again. Never had it before. It was great! This place is very clean and well managed. I will definitely be back! read more

Live near by and I wanted to try this new Katsu place Mori. Ordered the fried rice, curry bowl, sesame chicken and tried ordering katsu sando but had no bread, what! For me the chicken and katsu seem to be over cooked, very dry and a little hard to eat. A little disappointing for a new soft opening place to get katsu near the house. Only plus was the curry sauce was pretty good and tasty. read more

I ordered three bulgogi gimbaps. But they gave me 3 gimbaps in two containers, two chopsticks, and two soups. Why? One Bulgogi gimbap's price was $13. I but the quantity, quality, and service were not worth it. Very over priced. It all tastes very plain even the rice was not seasoned. I won't come again. read more

I was in the area and decided to finally try it. Ordered spicy pork plate, udon and kimbap combo and tteokboki. My child who loves udon didn't finish it as she said it wasn't very good. This is the first. The kimbap was bland and was just full of rice. Spicy pork was not spicy whatsoever and didn't have much flavor as I had to add salt to it. Tteokboki was not spicy at all and felt disappointed with the lack of flavor. It just didn't hit right with the flavors but at least I tried it. read more

Mori Katsu & Kimbap - Chicken Katsu Udon. - Asian Fusion Near Me - Cypress, California

Tried this grand opening restaurant. I tried chicken katsu plate, shrimp tempura kimbap, veggie kimbap, and calamari fries. Calamari fries are alright nothing to rave about, but I enjoyed the kimbaps. Kimbaps were fresh ingredients were fresh and not heavy. I didn't like the katsu sauce as it was a bit sweet. I think I would enjoy the curry sauce better. The "fry" isn't as amazing as other places but it's good enough. Pay cash for 4% off. read more

The pork curry katsu and takoyaki were excellent for the price. I order here regularly.

We went during soft opening. Cute and clean space. Kimbap was excellent! The fillings were yummy and full inside each kimbap, hardly any rice. Each kimbap was wrapped in perfection. I personally liked the spicy kick in spicy tuna kimbap. The hot udon soup that comes with the rolls were perfect complement to the kimbap. The appetizers sesame chicken and calamari were crisp and yummy. We already had handful before realizing we hadn't taken a picture. I would love to go back and try all the other kimbap. read more

Wow! I am glad that I found this restaurant just three minutes away from my home. Today, I went here on early lunch time. Inside of the restaurant is very nice and clean, and the owner chef welcomed me with happy smile and he told me that they just did grand opening on yesterday. I have ordered Pork Katsu plate and Bulgogi Kimbap for take out. Every portion of foods were huge. The Katsu plate had many different side dishes such as cucumber salad, macaroni salad, and cabbage salad. All salads were fresh and delicious. The Katsu had very crispy fried batter on outside, and the meat inside was thick and juicy. The Bulgogi Kimbap tasted healthy, and delicious, because it contained many different fresh ingredients. The size of this Kimbap was huge too. If you are looking for delicious Katsu and Kimbap as a meal, then I strongly recommend you to go here. read more

We got Bulgogi kimbap and chicken katsu curry bowl. Great flavor and great portion size. Highly recommended thhis place

Tried this spot during their soft opening, and it was a pleasant surprise. I happened to stumble upon it while heading to CrafTea and decided to stop in. I was the only customer at the time (Sunday around 5 PM), so service was prompt and attentive. They had water readily available while I waited -- a small but appreciated touch, especially because it was a hot day. I ordered the chicken katsu plate and enjoyed it. The katsu was pretty solid -- not the crispiest, but flavorful, and nicely done. The sauce had a hint of sesame that I really liked. Portions were fair, though I wouldn't have minded a bit more of the sesame cucumbers on the side -- they were really refreshing and had just the right amount of kick from the jalapeños. Since they're still in soft opening mode, I'm sure there are tweaks to come, but overall I had a good experience. I'd definitely come back to try more of the menu once they're fully up and running. read more

Love the curry katsu!! The seasoning in the curry is just soo yum! 10/10 would recommend!!

It was good it was healthy I received customer service when I walked in there everybody was friendly. They had totally veggie food so I don't not trying to eat meat anymore. So I had a great veggie kimbap. And it was good they served it with the side of hot soup. For about $15 pretty good Mori. read more

I was running errands in Cypress and got hungry, so I found this place on Yelp. I ordered the pork katsu plate with fried calamari, and my husband got the pork katsu curry bowl. The food was delicious, and the prices were reasonable. I haven't tried their kimbap yet, but as a fan, I'll be back for it next time! read more

WOW WOW AMAZINGGGG! the food was absolutely delicious and the portions were awesome! i definitely recommend 10/10!!!

Average taste on the katsu, but Kimbap was good. Friendly people and polite. We'll try again to support the local business.

Came in for lunch and ordered the katsudon. It came with a lot of katsu though it seemed like it should come with a bit more onions and egg. The pork katsu was pretty good quality, better than some but worse than others. I would advise them to change the oil in their fryer more often as it had that well-used aroma and taste, though not as bad as some places. Since I planned to eat in at one of their tables, I would have liked it if it had come in a proper bowl instead of take-out containers. All in all, it was pretty good so I will be back. read more
