Best Korean food place in Los Angeles. Everything we tried was really tasty and fresh. The place is clean and cozy, with a relaxed vibe and friendly staff. I tried a few dishes, and some flavors were unusual for me personally, which made the experience even more interesting and enjoyable

Katsu Bar – Santa Monica
3032 Wilshire Blvd, Suite C
If you’re craving crispy perfection between two buns, Katsu Bar delivers in spades. I tried the Original Katsu Sandwich with waffle fries, and wow—each bite was a symphony of crunch, tang, and tenderness. The panko-crusted chicken was juicy, the berry sauce added a surprising sweet twist, and the pickles brought it all home. Bonus points for the fries: golden, seasoned, and addictive.
The vibe? Casual but thoughtful—there’s even a mini-library where you can swap books while you eat. Service was fast, friendly, and the portions generous. Whether you’re a katsu connoisseur or just hungry in Santa Monica, this spot deserves a visit.
Must-try: Rosemary Katsu Sando, Crisscut Rose Tteokbokki, and the Hot Chicken Sandwich (if you dare).

One of my go to spots in Santa Monica. Great value, great taste, great service! There are bowls for $9.99 and it’s such good value The menu is big, ranging from noodles to sandwiches, and of course, Katsu! There’s also a free parking lot right next to the restaurant so it’s very convenient. 10/10!

Highly recommended!! Probably the best Katsu I have ever had since I lived in LA. I ordered several fried appetizers and Katsu plate. All of them are freshly made and tasty.
1. Pork Katsu: unlike some other Katsu, this has light breading. The pork is juicy inside crispy outside.
2. The fried mushroom is same as the Katsu, very juicy inside and without compromise the crispness outside.
3. Waffle fries is not too much surprise tho as it is like other waffle fries you can get from somewhere else.
With this price point, I will definitely come back for more!

The food here was amazing! The photos undershow how big the portions are. The fries and sandwiches were perfectly fried, and so was the mandu. Tried the shrimp and nashville hot chicken katsu sandwiches, probably some of the best Ive had in LA. Will definitely come back!

Fast casual spot serving katsu sandwiches and noodles. Came here for lunch on Saturday with my boyfriend, who wanted to try the Palms n’Patties next to it. There is indoor and outdoor seating. The restrooms are located in the building next door. You pay at the counter first and then receive your food. I had the katsu eggplant with udon noodles. Each piece was perfectly fried and the thick udon noodles complemented it perfectly. The food came out piping hot. They have lunch specials and credit cards accepted. Metered street parking.

The Matsui burger was amazing!
My first impression was the size of the burger! It was big and the taste was incredible. What was more surprising was how good the chips were. The potato was thick and crunchy.
I had a hard time finishing everything and should have taken some of it back home. However it was too good that I couldn’t stop!

THE PORTIONS ARE HUGE!
Had to say that first because we order so much food ha!
Their waffle fries are amazing! Dare I say better than Chick-Fil-A!
They don’t have many gluten free options. According to the others, the bread just tasted like regular white bread. The cream and strawberry sandwich was not magical. This one was out of stock of many of the food and drink items.
I will say try the strawberry milk!! So good!
Not much seating except outside and one or two tables inside.
I see an image on here where they have more tables inside against the orange wall, they are no longer there.
Bathrooms were locked even when we asked them to use them.
You get a good value for money when it comes to the portion sizes. Not sure I’ll go back but was worth the try

The place seemed very clean. The food was a large portion and reasonably priced (surprising for the area). It tasted good, nothing amazing but neat, tasty and fresh. The person at the cashier was super sweet and went out of his way to help us pick an item (since it was our first time). I recommend this place.

This is hands down the best katsu spot in town! I had the curry udon with katsu, while my boys enjoyed two orders of the curry plate, and we absolutely loved every bite. The flavors were incredible!
On top of that, the owner was incredibly kind and welcoming. I actually discovered this place on Threads and learned that during the Palisades fire, the owner generously offered free meals to first responders. Such a thoughtful and impressive gesture—it really shows the heart behind this restaurant. Highly recommend!
