Overall, Katsuya is described as a go-to spot with huge portions, crispy katsu, and a wide mix of sauces and variations including curry, rose, cheese and takoyaki, commonly paired with udon or rice and a friendly, efficient vibe during lunch. While many reviews praise texture, generosity and authenticity, some dishes are noted as average or oil-heavy and service can be slow or understaffed at times, detracting slightly from the experience. The downtown location and reasonable prices are seen as positives, though a few comments mention waits, crowded spaces and occasional inconsistencies across visits.
Food was delicious & filling, super comforting & warm. Love the pork tonkatsu with curry & rice. Very generous with the portion. Highly recommend, will return

Parfait endroit pour manger du poulet katsu ! Nous avons adoré nos plats & le service était impeccable. On y sert aussi de la bière. Nous allons y retourner!
The food was very tasty & fresh. We both ordered the Katsu curry & one drink each. It was a little pricey for 2 people but heyy we had left overs for lunch. So no complaints 😜 I might go again to try the red carbonara Katsu dish. The service was quick & the experience was pleasant.

Katsuya has been on my'Want to go' list for years & on end of February, me & my friends decided to go give it a try it. I really loved their Japanese Katsuya chicken & karaage! Super crunchy & sweet-salty sauce balances the flavours. We ate during lunch period so it was nice & peaceful that we're able to have conversations, & service was quick. Prices is roughly $16-$22 depending on what you get. I recommend coming here with friends or a quick lunch/dinner, as it's fulfilling!
Best katsu I've had in Montreal. Light, tasty, generous portions. 5/5 ⭐
Service was great too. Fast, efficient, & to the point. I appreciate a place that doesn't make staff do the awkward small talk thing!

My boyfriend & I have been looking for a good katsu & udon place in Montreal ever since we left Korea. We each had their udon katsu combo. The second we tried the udon we had such a wave of nostalgia. The price was reasonable & the food was amazing.
Came here for lunch today, & it was pretty delicious! Great crispy texture & juicy with a nice portion. The girl with glasses gave us also an excellent service! I'll be coming back for sure!
