Food was really good. We ordered the Katsu Curry and Donkatsu with Spicy Chewy Noodles. The katsu was cooked to perfection. It was juicy on the inside and the outside batter was panko breaded and light. It was fried but didn't make us feel heavy at all. The spicy noodles had a nice kick and were very delicious. Both dished were satisfying and flavorful! The only thing that came as a surprise to me was that the spicy chewy noodles was a cold noodle dish. I'm glad I enjoyed it. We will be back but hope to see some improvement with time management. The place was not busy, however, the service was very slow. I can't imagine if there were more people there.

Stop by after our hike for lunch ! First time having korean katsu . We order the King Don Katsu and Chicken curry udon! Each set came with some sides (I do wish it was a bigger portion with the veggies ) Othereuse superb customer service , interior was roomy and everything we order was enjoyed ! Korean katsu tend to be more thinner so it's more crispier but not overly dry , just the way I like it! Portion was generous and not overly priced ! The curry had a good flavor not overly salty while the miso soup was a bit salter for me! I did wish we order the fried chicken , guess will have to come back next time !

We tried the chicken katsu and the donkatsu spicy chewy noodle. chicken katsu -7/10, katsu was nicely crispy and well-seasoned; decent overall. donkatsu spicy chewy noodle - 7/10, katsu was crispy and well seasoned; noodles had a spicy, nutty sauce which had a good kick to it (served cold). Service was good. Staff were friendly and attentive, offered help and checked on us a couple of times. Restaurant itself was clean and had a simple, modern look. Overall, food was decent but a little pricey.

Family of 4 decided to give this new place a try that's located in the nut tree plaza! Place is clean and spacious. Plenty of tables and each has its own kiosk to order or they can personally take your order as well which we did as we had some special requests which they were kindly able to accommodate! Price is a bit up there about $20-ish avg per person BUT don't be fooled.. the quality and the quantity of the meals will make you say oOoOooOh that's why! Kids got the udon with shrimp tempura and we had the pork Katsu with the Rose Topokki with pork Katsu.. BOTH kids LOVED it! = WIN for the parents! Broth was flavorful & honestly the Rose Topokki with that crack sauce..... THE BEST! Good thing the kid was nice enough to share! Lol! Next best is the curry Katsu with the rice.. reminds us the meal from Japan! Burst of flavor. My donkatsu spicy chewy noodles was ok.. I didn't know the noodles is made cold. But all the Katsu we had was hugeee, crispy, moist and not dry! Super good. AND each meal comes with sides of kimchi daikon, soup, and salad so needlessly to say we had leftovers! Definitely will be back! For sure!

I love me some katsu and I was stoked this place opened in Vacaville. Before, I had to go to Berkeley or SF for my fried cutlet needs. They have chicken and pork cutlets, and shrimps! If you like it cheesy, you can get cheese katsu, which is basically pork boat with cheese in it. Yumee offers udon soup, normal fried chicken, dumplings, kimchi dishes and fried fish dishes as well. The proteins come in sets that include miso soup, daikon radish, rice and a small mountain of cabbage for dat fiber tho. The katsu comes with dipping sauce that's similar to soy sauce. I tried the assorted katsu set with the cheese (2pc), shrimps (2pc) and chicken(4-5pc). I ate them in order of what wouldn't taste good after 10 minutes, which were the cheesy pork, the shrimp, followed by the chicken. I didn't want the cheese to get cold and solidify so I quickly took my photos and dipped it in the sauce while it was still HOT. I took a bite and the cheese pull game was strong. The mozzarella with the outer pork layer and crunchy exterior was delish AF! Highly recommend. The shrimps were jumbo size and delish! Wasn't overly battered. The chicken was good, tender and juicy. I dipped a piece in my friend's curry sauce and it made me want to try it the next time I came here. The curry was savory with a splash of spice. On my second visit I tried their curry udon with pork cutlet and my boo ordered the rose katsu, which had a creamy gochujang sauce on top. We ordered a side of the cheese katsu bc yeah, I love cheese. And it was perfect for sharing! The udon noodles were yum-worthy and the pork katsu were thinly sliced. The boo quite liked his rose katsu. It was spicy but just the right amount for someone who doesn't like spice. The portions were pretty good that we got full and had to pack some things to go. The sides that they had were good. I loved the cabbage salad bc it made me feel less guilty of all fried food I was inhaling. The soup was good but it was a little too salty. The daikon radish was aight. During my first visit, 2 of my friends who ordered the curry katsu said the curry sauce portion wasn't enough so they requested for more but it's an extra $5 for a small bowl of sauce!! I thought that was expensive like damn, is there edible gold in there? And it took them a while for the waiter to bring it out to the point their katsu was cold by then. Service was decent, it was busy the first time we went (Saturday night) and we had to wait for a table. When I went with my boo, we went on a Saturday afternoon and we were able to get a table right away and service was quick. You can order from a human or you can be an introvert and order from their tablet on the tables. Their location is near Edible Arrangements and not too far from Ulta. The building used to be a Mochinut donut shop and before that, a Quicklys. They did a good job of remodeling. The restaurant is mid size so it can fill up quickly for dinner time. Overall, good Korean style katsu and curry. A bit expensive so I wouldn't go here as often as I'd like. Service is decent, depending on when you go. Check them out if you want some katsu curry and tteokbokki!

My mom and I stopped by Yumee Katsu in the late afternoon and it was still busy - that was our first good sign! I added us to the virtual waitlist and they texted us about 15 minutes later that our table was ready. I had the assorted katsu that came with pork, shrimp, and cheese katsu along with pickled daikon, rice, soup, cabbage salad, and a dipping sauce. Everything was fresh and delicious! The pork was my favorite. My mom had the half and half fried chicken and picked the honey butter and soy garlic flavors. Both were tasty and the meat was super tender. Overall, I would return and recommend! I'm curious to try their curry next time.

What a great find at Nut Tree Plaza! The restaurant was clean, comfortable, and had wonderfully cool air conditioning--perfect on a warm day. We ordered the curry katsu, tempura shrimp udon, and two different chicken dishes, and everything was absolutely delicious. The portions were generous, the food was fresh and flavorful, and everyone in our group found something they loved. The location in the charming Nut Tree Plaza made the experience even better. We enjoyed our meal so much that we're already looking forward to coming back. Our only wish is that there was a Yumee Katsu in our city! Highly recommend for anyone craving a satisfying and tasty meal.

I've been here at least 3x already and the food smacks every time!! I'm so happy to have a place like this in Vacaville. My favorite dish is probably the spicy chewy noodles and wings. I don't think I've ever had this specific type of spicy chewy noodles before because they were actually meant to be cold noodles. I've tried 3 different flavors of the wings and they're all delicious. I also love that they give cabbage and other small sides with almost every dish you can get there. The portion sizing is very generous. The other people I've gone with have ordered curry udon dishes and have said they liked them as well. The breading on the different katsu's is light and flavorful. The staff are usually friendly and attentive. They do get busy and have a small space. I've always gone during lunch/dinner and sometimes there's a wait, but definitely worth it.

Ever since we tried Yumee Katsu, we've been coming back! The food is so fresh and delicious. The curry sauce is so good, I am so happy we don't have to drive a ways out to eat curry, katsu and korean fried chicken. The restaurant is clean and casual. The staff and servers has been wonderful. You can order your food via the ipad on the table but if you would like something custom, let your server know. I recommend getting the half & half korean fried chicken (it's boneless and large portion!). My personal favorite is yangmeon and honey butter. Each entree has sides that compliments one another for your tastebuds. I can't wait to go back!

Friend told me about this spot and said it's a MUST visit. He recommended the chicken katsu & curry plus the udon. We did order the udon, but the soy garlic KFC plate just called my name! We were warmly welcomed when we walked in, sat down, given a menu and water and proceeded to order using the tablet. Was very easy to follow. Portions were big so we had leftovers for dinner! The soy garlic KFC was delicious, my mom enjoyed her udon. Next visit I'll get the katsu curry.

I've been seeing some social media posts about this new spot so we made the one hour drive up to check it out! It's a smaller place but luckily we came early around 4pm on a Sunday so we were able to get a table easily for our party of 7. I love that you can order from the tablet at your table, so you're not stuck waiting for a server to come around, and you can add on things as you wish. They have a pretty good variety on the menu here, with katsu being the focus of course. At first glance you may think the prices are high but the portions will definitely match! You could potentially share a plate with someone and get an appetizer if you weren't too hungry. We all ordered 4 different items to get a taste of multiple things! The rosé katsu was definitely one of my favorites. I loved the sauce that it came with! The topokki katsu is an even bigger portion, with the rice cakes and fish cakes on the side. That would be a great dish to split with someone. I tried the curry from the chicken curry udon and that was extremely flavorful! Even our kids enjoyed the potstickers and the honey butter/soy garlic Korean fried chicken plate. Most of the dishes come with salad, soup, and rice, as well as a small dish of radish kimchi and regular pickled radish. It's a full meal but it was so good that I didn't even take any for leftovers! Service was friendly and efficient and they came to check on us and refill waters multiple times despite having a packed restaurant. Great first experience here! They have a really good location in the middle of other eateries and restaurants so I hope they'll have success and expand to Sacramento!!

Came here & all tables are filled! Good thing we only waited for 10 mins. Staff are very friendly & food is served in 15-20 mins. I love the rose teokpokki the most! Their katsu are very light & crispy. Place is clean & neat! I just wish their Korean fried chicken are of wings & not cutlets.

I first saw Yumee Katsu on social media and was excited to see that Vacaville finally has a go-to spot for katsu and curry! I will admit, I was a little sad that it took over the old Mochinut location since Mochinut is no longer there, but hey, you can't go wrong with chicken katsu. I came here on a Monday night for dinner with a friend, and there was plenty of open seating. They hand you a physical menu to browse, but you actually place your order through a tablet that is at every table. The tablet was very user-friendly and made ordering super easy. Since it was our first time, we asked one of the servers to explain the menu a bit more, especially the King Don Katsu and the Rose Katsu. After hearing from the server, my friend ordered the King Don Katsu, and I went with the basic Chicken Katsu. At first, the prices felt a little high, but once we realized the meals come with soup, salad, sides, AND a bowl of rice, it felt more worth it. Our food came out pretty quickly, and the portion sizes were generous, so much so that both of us needed to-go boxes for leftovers. The katsu was extra crispy with a great amount of breading. One piece of my chicken katsu could've been cooked a little bit more, but it was still tasty, especially dipped in the katsu sauce. I also ordered a Curry Katsu to go for my husband since he's been craving curry katsu forever and there aren't many spots near us that offer it. Overall, I'm really glad Vacaville now has a dedicated katsu and curry spot since places like this are more in SJ or SF which can be a drive. I'll definitely be back so my husband can dine in and experience Yumee Katsu in person for himself. Next time, I think I'll try their Korean fried chicken!
