    Donkatsu Spicy Chewy Noodle
    Kev H.

    I came across a katsu place in Dublin that's a Korean restaurant rather than a Japanese restaurant, which I found really interesting, so I decided to give it a try. I ordered their donkatsu, which was a deep fried pork cutlet, served with Korean style chewy noodles. First of all, I really loved the consistency of the chewy noodles. They were made with wheat flour and starch, which gave them a really nice chewiness that I enjoyed. Unfortunately, I didn't care much for the sauce. It was not bad - it was sweet, spicy, and slightly tangy, but it just isn't my favorite flavor profile. I also wasn't really sure that the noodles paired that well with the cutlet. I felt like the noodles overwhelmed the cutlet, and the cutlet itself tasted pretty bland. Someone else at my table ordered the cutlet with rice and curry sauce, and I actually thought that tasted better, so I'd probably get that instead next time. The restaurant was pretty small and very busy on the weekend. I completely understand that they were busy, but we basically didn't get any service whatsoever. We had a kid with us, and nobody came by to offer us a highchair. And then, during our entire meal, nobody came by to offer to refill our water either. The service was extremely lacking, and I think that really affected my overall experience. I just wish they had paid a little more attention to the quality of service they were providing.

    Spicy Pork Katsu ($21.99) Big portion, curry flavor just ok

    I had lunch w/ some rellies at nearby Yumee, a Korean katsu place in Dublin off the 580. You order from a screen at your table, and the food is brought to you: Most entrees are ~ $21. I ordered the giant pork katsu curry. It comes w/ rice, salad, soup, radish and kimchee. The pork cutlet was massive. I was stuffed afterwards. On the other hand, the flavor of the curry was just ok. I have had this dish (donkatsu) in LA K Town, and the place I went to had a better seasoned curry. Regarding the ambiance, YK is one of several casual eateries in this strip mall. Its small inside but comfortable. The servers are friendly enough and efficient. I'd return if I were in the area. However, I would not go out of my way to come here. The food is pretty good, and it was conveniently located.

    This place was good! I got the curry katsu and shared some of the katsu mozzarella. Each plate came with side of salad, rice, and miso soup, sauce, and some side. Plenty of parking in the plaza.

    I was craving katsu and decided to give this place a try. I ordered the spicy pork katsu, which came with miso soup, salad, pickles, kimchi, and sauce. The katsu was crispy, juicy, and not overcooked. Everything tasted good. And the sides complemented the meal well.

    This place has been on my list for a while, and I'm glad I checked it out! I came here for a quick dinner on a weeknight, and was shocked to see it fully packed. It is a relatively smaller restaurant with about 8 tables or so. Our server was incredibly nice and attentive, and checking in periodically to make sure our waters are filled and we're enjoying the food. I like how the katsu includes a variety of sauces/pairings to enhance the flavor! The curry was delicious and I really enjoyed the pork tonkatsu (part of the assorted plate). I'd come back here to try more items on their menu. Parking is easy! It's located in a shopping plaza so plenty of parking spaces in an open lot.

    Service is really good: friendly, attentive, fast and fast. I like the big katsu, it's so tasty. Soba is yummy too. Pork Katsu is delicious. Parking is easy. Nice, clean store. Will come again

    First time trying this place and chose it since we were craving something different than the normal places we eat. When I was in Japan, we went to restaurants that specializes in katsu mainly. We ordered on our table with the self help monitor- Pork Katsu and chicken katsu with curry. Food was nicely presented with daikon, Kim chee and miso soup and a cabbage salad. Overall, we enjoyed our meals and my wife seemed to like my pork a bit more than her chicken . Still 5 stars for both. Service- the gentleman manager with the #1 dad hat was very nice and checked on us. Easy and relaxing place to eat. We can on a Saturday at 2 pm and the place was close to full and we got lucky we got a table. Max capacity says 38 people. Would definitely come again when craving for katsu!

    Chicken Curry Udon
    Chris V.

    Found this place when looking for a place to eat after seeing a nearby movie. It's a smaller restaurant that was pretty busy for a weeknight dinner. Ordering is done through a tablet and I went with a chicken katsu curry udon. The flavors of the chicken and udon were pretty solid and the curry wasn't really spicy, but it had some hints of heat. It comes with some side dishes but I only really liked the miso soup.

    Cheese katsu
    Eric T.

    Spicy Chewy Noodles are our favorite here. The wait isn't as long as it used to be but the food is still top notch for katsu in the area. Also recommend the cheese katsu.

    Katsu with chewy spicy cold noodles
    Chloe P.

    Yumee Katsu absolutely delivered. Everything we ordered was solid, satisfying, and genuinely delicious. The standout for me was the katsu curry. The katsu was perfectly crispy on the outside while staying tender inside, and the curry was rich, flavorful, and completely addictive. I kept going back for another bite even when I was already getting full. The udon noodle soup was comforting and well-balanced, while the cold soba noodles were refreshing and nicely textured. I also loved the chewy spicy cold noodles--they had a great bite and just the right amount of spice, making them surprisingly memorable. Portions here are incredibly generous. Even after eating until I was stuffed, my plate still looked full. Definitely great value for the amount of food you get. The meal also comes with kimchi and yellow radish sides, which were the perfect complement. Their freshness and acidity helped cut through the richness of the fried dishes and tied everything together nicely. Overall, a delicious meal with generous portions and plenty of variety. I'd happily come back to try more of the menu. Highly recommend if you're craving quality katsu and comforting noodle dishes.

    Stumbled on this place when me and my fam were looking for a place to have a late lunch after shopping at the outlets. I love me a good curry katsu plate, and appreciated how they also offer noodles with their katsu, as my bf prefers that instead of rice. We were shocked to notice the spicy noodles come out cold (we absolutely love cold noodles) since not many places offer that. We were so impressed at how tasty literally everything we ordered was. The staff were also so nice and welcoming, and inside was pretty spacious with many filled tables. This will definitely be our new go-to spot to come by after a shopping day at the outlets!

    Topokki Katsu
    Karrie L.

    Overall food was good and service was friendly. The portion size looks a bit less than the pictures on the menu. You can ask for more radish which we didn't know about until the waiter ask us. Not really suitable for large parties as most tables are for 4 people.

    When we arrived on a Saturday night, we got seated right away. We're a party of 2. We ordered the Yumee Katsu and the Chicken Katsu Curry Rice which were both delicious. The katsu were very juicy on the inside and crunchy on the outside. The restaurant was very quiet overall with diners chatting within their tables so this is a great restaurant if you're looking for something quiet. I would come back here again.

But years later, Tasty Pot at Ulferts Center is still one of our reliable go-to spots in Dublin. My wife usually orders the Beef Hot Soup, while I go for the Taiwanese Supreme Spicy Hot Soup - both with a side of rice and either black or green tea during lunchtime. Both pots are consistently delicious, satisfying, and served steaming hot - the kind of hot that clears your sinuses and makes your nose run. For reference, we order them at the "medium" spice level, so either we're weak sauce or they really are that hot and spicy. I especially like that Tasty Pot's meals are complete individual servings. You get the full hot-pot experience without having to fetch ingredients, wait for a communal pot to cook, or coordinate a family-style meal. It's easy, convenient, and perfect when everyone just wants to dig into their own bowl. Service has always been fast, and the food comes out piping hot and ready to enjoy. The wait staff also checks in to see whether you are running low on soup and need a top-off. They also have a rewards program that earns you points toward a free hot pot; it has changed over the last couple of years from a "buy seven, get one free" setup to a points-based system - either way, it's a nice bonus. If you're craving comforting Taiwanese-style hot pot in the Dublin, Pleasanton, or Livermore area, this is an easy five-star choice.
