The rayu ramen had a lovely smoky flavor and was so tasty too.
All the servers were super nice and took great care of us.
I had such a wonderful time here. I will definitely come back 100%❣️❣️
queuing up when I was there at 11:45. And it was a normal weekday!
The deep fried breaded pork loin meal is really tasty. The meat is moist, tender and non-greasy. The price is good and the portion is big as the set is served with unlimited shredded cabbage and rice. If you like Japanese style pork cutlets, you should not miss this restaurant.
However you can get one person from your party take one for the team and arrive an hour early to join their waitlist and just have everyone arrive at the estimated time with their orders ready. Or just order takeout.
The food itself was good. The staff gives you a menu to look over while you wait outside (not allowed to wait inside) and take your order right as you are seated. Their display menu outside has very outdated prices and the real prices (picture attached) were like $5 more than the their displayed menu. I got the tonkatsu set and the tonkatsu itself was very tender and crispy (when fresh) which was a great surprise. The unlimited sides of rice, miso soup, and cabbage were great but nothing special but we definitely made our moneys worth.
The ramen looked so good and was a huge portion which makes up for it having no unlimited items compared to the katsu sets. I would definitely try that if I came again.
While the food was filling and good, I don’t know if it’s worth an hour’s wait. The estimated wait time got as high as 1h45m which at that point just go somewhere else or wait a few months for the hype to die down.
Service was excellent and the staff brought our sides very often! No complaints at all.
Edit: got the tonkatsu set as takeout and the pork stayed very juicy and tender even once we got home ~10-15 mins later. Good food.
I will mention that this restaurant is on the smaller side and is quite busy so there is always a wait list.
The seasoning, vegetables, and all the sides are top quality. If you’re dining as a pair, rice and vegetables are unlimited refills, which is a nice bonus. The only downside is that they don’t take reservations, and the place is always packed — expect a lineup. But it’s 100% worth the wait. Strongly recommended!
Recently, we noticed they opened a new location in Surrey too. We’re definitely planning to check it out soon — fingers crossed the flavor is just as amazing!
Katsu was crisp and flavourful even after the car ride home. Rice and salad were good as well, making for a balanced meal. Solid option for Japanese katsu.
Portion was decent, taste was amazing, mostly service was Phenomenal:)
Definitely will come back and my friend told me she’s gonna come back right next day
Thanks Katsu San team
Note that they do have a policy to seat only when everyone is there BUT they were super flexible and allowed a couple tables to get seated first if the other guests were “close by”. They also seemed to allow for reservations – but very strict on hitting that time deadline.
We ordered the pork katsu assorted and the Nagasaki ramen
(i forgot to take a picture when it came but did snap a pic of all the clams and mussels they had with it!) My dad doesn’t like Ramen at all or Japanese food but he gave it a thumbs up. Said it had really good broth and very generous portions of pork belly, veg and shellfish. I thought the noodles had a great bounce and the soup base was very tasty.
The assorted katsu was good too! Ebi hands down the best on the plate. I ordered a separate prawn to make it an even split and even at $6 I thought it was worth it. Super big, crisp and perfectly cooked.
Pork was also really good too, but it just tasted like a standard katsu pork loin to me so nothing of particular note – I think I might try the chicken next time just to see. The fry is just amazing at this place and the breading perfect.
The cheese katsu was a so so for both of us. People say it’s mozzarella but it didn’t taste like that to me. It had sort of this brie skin incorporated into it to hold it together. I’m particular about brie skin so I didn’t like the taste – but that’s just me. I wouldn’t fault them on it. It was super gooey and had the perfect cheese pull.
All in all, it really met expectations. It’s a kind of place where you eat and go – basically a 40ish minute window so don’t plan on doddering around. Will definitely come again!!
