    I had a great experience dining here. The server was friendly, attentive, and made sure everything was taken care of throughout the meal. The food was also delicious. I ordered the Chicken Katsu Spicy Chewy Noodle & Cheese Katsu, and it was flavorful, well prepared, and very satisfying. Overall, it was a great dining experience, and I would definitely come back again. The chicken katsu really stood out. It was crispy on the outside, juicy and tender on the inside, and cooked perfectly. Every bite had a great crunch without being greasy, and it paired really well with the spicy chewy noodles and cheese. It was easily one of the best chicken katsu dishes I've had.

    Parking can be hit or miss depending on time of arrival but if you park far enough, You'll find parking in this plan. Very very clean inside. Staffs were very attentive. Love the self ordering system. Chicken katsu was amazing, much better than the pork katsu which I felt was way too dry. The sides were really small

    Topokki Katsu.

    We came around lunchtime on a weekend. It wasn't too busy, so we were seated quickly. We ordered the Topokki Katsu and a Chicken Katsu with a mini udon. The katsu for both were crispy, but a bit on the drier side. The topokki was okay; serviceable, but not noteworthy. The sides complimented the heaviness of the katsu quite well. The portions are large, here! It's not far fetched to have a little bit left over for later.

    New place finally opened next to Paris Baguette and it's so GOOD. You order from an iPad and the katsu itself is so crispy and BIG. It comes with miso soup, kimchi, radish, and salad. The Rose Rice cake is also delicious and nice and creamy. The servers are nice and fast and place of course is really clean. I do wish they gave more rice but that's just cause I eat too much.

    I'm on a mission: try every katsu place in the Bay Area, so I had to hit up Yumee Katsu (pronounced You-Mee). This is a Korean/Japanese fusion spot; they serve a shoyu flavored miso, kimchi, radish, and cabbage + lemon dressing to accompany your dish. FOOD: Chicken Curry Katsu (4/5) - I honestly expected more curry, given that it's a curry katsu. It feels like the curry is just there for presentation because there wasn't much. The chicken was nicely battered and crisped. It was $23, on the pricier end for curry katsu yet still enjoyable. I'm assuming there is an up charge for the side dishes. Yumee Donkatsu (5/5) - So good! Personally I'm not big on pork katsu, but the meat was juicy and lightly fried. By itself it was decent but the katsu sauce and wasabi enhanced every bite. Honestly I didn't even need rice for this because it filled me up. SERVICE: The waitresses are nice and quick. They give you a menu, but you order using an iPad. You pay at the counter when you're done. I have no complaints about this place other than the location they chose. This plaza is infamous for its parking....It's out of the way for me but if I'm in the area I'd definitely come back to this place!

    New katsu spot opened up in the Ranch 99 plaza on Hostetter, taking over Vons Chickens. The interior looks pretty much the same, except maybe with more tables. Came here for an early dinner. The restaurant already had a few patrons dining and there was a wait by the time we left. Since it's in a plaza, there's plenty of parking but it gets extremely busy since there are other popular stores here. There's an iPad connected to the table where you can order your food. They have katsu dishes of all kinds. We ordered the katsu with ramen and dry noodles. The portions are huge, which makes sense because the price point is a bit higher for a meal around here (around $18-25 w/o tax and tip) but it's comparable to other katsu places around. You get side dishes with your dish. The katsu was well fried and not too oily. The ramen was pretty standard and so were the dry noodles. Service was good, as the waiters were very attentive and brought us water often. Food came out quickly as well. Would come back here!

    I definitely prefer Japanese Katsu, but Yumee is a solid choice if I wanted something more unique. I tried three dishes here: Rose Topokki Katsu, Cheese Katsu, and Donkatsu Spicy Noodles. Rose Topokki was the star and everything else was so-so. The rose topokki was delicious and I liked the crunchy flakes. The Cheese Katsu was okay because I prefer more meat than cheese ratio. I did not like the DonKatsu Spicy Noodles because the noodles were cold and tasted like kimchi.. Overall, the katsu here is tender and fried well. I would only get the rose topokki next time. After trying three dishes, I defintely got flavor fatigue from the katsu and was tired of eating fried food. I also liked the little banchan and the soups!

    Yumee Katsu is a new restaurant that opened up and took the space of where Von's Chicken used to be in this mall. The parking is horrendous on the weekends. If you are lucky to find a spot, you will see the restaurant by Paris Baguette and Venus Cafe. The interior is nicely decorated and modern. The service is friendly and attentive. Donkatsu Spicy Chewy Noodle - first off, the noodles are cold like a salad. Don't get me wrong, it was a flavorful, hint of spiciness, and thick chewy noodles. The katsu was fried to a golden brown. Assorted Katsu - pork katsu, shrimp katsu, and cheese katsu. A good entree if you are undecided on what to get or just want to try a variety of fried choices. Support your local business.

    First time visiting this place for dinner, and it was a good experience. The environment is nice, and it was very easy to find parking. I ordered the shrimp with curry--the presentation was definitely impressive, and the shrimp was perfectly crispy. My friend ordered the fish, and it tasted really good as well. Because of that positive experience, I decided to revisit for lunch on a Monday. I was surprised to find that no one else was there. I ordered the fish katsu, but unfortunately, I was very disappointed. The fish had a strange smell and tasted a bit like hand soap. I mentioned this to the waitress, just so the kitchen could be aware and pay attention to the issue. Since the food quality seems to be pretty inconsistent between visits, I'm giving it 3 stars for now.

    Assorted katsu + chicken katsu curry
    Iris H.

    Waited around 30 mins before getting seated. Quite a lot of people joining the waitlist during the dinner hour rush. We got the assorted katsu(pork, shrimp and cheese) and also the chicken katsu curry. I find the chicken katsu to be the least dry and juicer than most. Cheese katsu has a nice cheese pull. I like how there are the pickled radish and kimchi on the sides, along with salad. Presentation is a plus too. -**: fried shrimp katsu is not crispy. Outer layer is too thin, so texture is almost mushy(?). Also the price for the set is normal, but the add-on side dishes are out of place. Ex: The mini udon is $5.99 and probably the size of a small fist size. It's equivalent of 2 mouthful udons. Don't think I'll get it again.

    A new katsu place opened so I knew I had to try it. Since it was late dinner and they were about to close, I got take out. Rose Toppoki Katsu (4/5): Remember this is take-out! This dish comes with rose toppoki (so great if you can't handle spicy) and a katsu. The katsu tasted a bit dry and it didn't blend well with the bed crumbs. The toppoki was good, but couldn't taste much of the rose flavor. I would like to dine in at this place next time.

    Assorted Katsu ($25.99) & extra curry ($5.99) Takeout
    Evonne C.

    [Food] Takeout - Assorted Katsu ($25.99): Comes with rice, salad w/ dressing, sauce (katsu sauce & tartar), and soup. Also comes with pickled daikon and kimchi! I enjoyed the pork katsu and the shrimp, but I think the cheese one is a bit too heavy for me. You also have to eat the cheese one fast before it gets cold and hardens. - Extra Curry ($5.99): Yum! I'm glad I got extra to dip my katsu in or even with more rice. - Curry Katsu ($23.99): I feel like the takeout portion may be a tad smaller than if you were to dine-in. The tonkatsu is more on the lean side, but the curry has a nice flavor. Also comes with soup, salad, and some picked radish & kimchi. [Service] - Fast, friendly, helpful - Order via kiosk tablet [Ambiance] - Decent amount of seating indoors - Parking can get packed during peak dinner hours as it is in the plaza where 99 Ranch, Gen, Kura, Paris Baguette, Venus Cafe, etc are at. [Overall] - Would come back again to try other dishes!

    I hate Tteokbokki because most places make it chewy but this place made me change my mind on it. I will definitely come back.

As for the omakase itself, the quality and price were pretty average compared to other omakase spots in the Bay Area. The alcohol menu was also noticeably on the pricey side. But the dessert was a major disappointment. After enjoying a really good omakase, I was honestly expecting the meal to end on a high note. Instead, we were served what tasted like a cheap, flavored cream puff. It felt completely out of place with the rest of the meal. I wouldn't have complained if they had simply served a good-quality matcha ice cream or something simple. But this dessert was so underwhelming that it actually interfered with the flavors I had just enjoyed and left a bad taste at the end of an otherwise good meal. Dessert may seem like a small part of the experience, but when you're paying for an omakase, the last bite matters. This one unfortunately brought down my overall impression of the meal quite a bit.

It is in the general area with Cere Tea and Koi Palace. We arrived around 6PM and were seated immediately. We came for the seafood don and both got the UME with an addition of the ochazuke set. For $26 + 4.5 for the set, I think it's really worth the price and you get a good amount of fresh fish. Each bite felt like I was transported to Japan and eating a Kaisendon.
