Review Summary

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.

First time trying & my friends & I absolutely loved it! As appetizers we had the cheese balls & the honey fries. The fries were so crispy & flavorful. The texture of the cheese balls was out of this world. We got the original, the curry & the spicy one. All of them were so good. Especially the spicy one, please get it with the sweet potato cheese katsu; the best combo. & a plus, servers were so nice.

service was nice & attentive. the complimentary udon soup that came with our meal was so good we had thirds of it. original katsu was rly good! super crispy, not dry, flavourful curry. not as much of a fan of the brick cheese katsu, you get a lot less meat, which is replaced with cheese thats a bit bland imo. even with the ketchup-like dip.. didnt love it. the red carbonara udon is more spicy than anything, but i liked it on the side!! a lil expensive but i would still wanna come back to try their other udons + their cheeseballs (loved this too, was super cheesy) & for their original katsu :)

Everything was so so good & it's amongst my top restaurants in Montreal! Service was friendly & fast. I recommend that you go in the morning, as soon as it opens to secure a spot & to get the best service :) Dishes that I recommend : - Cheeseballs : fan of cheesepulls & mocchi like texture? This is THE appetizer for you. Plus, they add honey butter powder on top, which makes it so addicting! - Brick cheese gold & silver katsu : if you visit Katsuya, you have to take this (it's like their signature dish & why they are so popular!) - Original sweet potato cheese katsu : it was recommended by the owner as this is his favorite dish. I must say, it's mine too now! - Finally, as a udon lover, their udon dishes are so worth it! If I have a udon craving, I could see myself coming back for it.

I've had Katsuya multiple times in Vancouver & I love it so I was really exited to try this one. It was delicious! We had a couple of appetizers (cheese balls, cheese crabmeat croquettes, tartare shrimp, & honey fries) & my favourite was the croquettes! For their main dish I had the hot spicy fish katsu. My 2 favourite flavours & the hot spicy katsu & the sweet chili katsu! The plates are very big & filling. It also comes with miso soup but I didn't find the soup that good to be honest.

The restaurant has a very welcoming atmosphere. We were treated to free miso soup & free whatever that thing with the jalapeno is. The cheese balls have a nice chewy texture to it alongside a sweet kick. The katsu was cooked to perfection. My friend ordered the red carbonara udon as well. It was too spicy for my liking. The rice was fluffy & the coleslaw was delicious.
