Review Summary

Katsuya is widely regarded as a standout destination in Montreal for authentic, high-quality Japanese comfort food, particularly its signature crispy and tender katsu. Many patrons praise the generous portion sizes, fresh ingredients, and creative menu variations, such as the popular red carbonara and cheese katsu dishes. While the atmosphere is generally described as cozy and modern, and the staff is frequently highlighted for being friendly and attentive, some diners have noted occasional inconsistencies with service speed and wait times during busy periods. Despite a few mixed opinions on specific side dishes and the internal ambiance, the majority of visitors consider the restaurant a reliable and delicious spot that offers excellent value for the price.

I've been here several times because the food is consistently good. The portions are quite generous, the sauces are delicious, & the complimentary welcome soup is also very tasty, although I wish the serving was a little bigger. The staff are generally friendly & welcoming. The only downside is that the restaurant seems a bit understaffed during busy hours.

However, what really disappoints me is the way they handle cash payments.

On one visit, I paid in cash & was supposed to receive around $2-3 in change. Instead of giving me my change, the staff simply said'thank you' & moved on, as if the remaining money was automatically considered a tip.

On my most recent visit, my bill was a little over $50, & I paid with a $100 bill. After taking my money, the cashier asked me how much change I wanted back. That made me feel very uncomfortable. The proper procedure should be to return the full change first, & then let the customer decide whether or not to leave a tip. Tipping should always be voluntary, not something customers feel pressured into.

I really enjoy the food & would like to keep coming back, but I hope management addresses this issue because it leaves a very negative impression.

I was craving katsu, & this restaurant exceeded my expectations! The miso soup was so delicious that I even asked for a refill. I ordered the red carbonara pork katsu, & I absolutely loved it.

So delicious. Got the regular udon & it was filling. No pork in this one. They give out small soups as appetizers too, similar to a miso soup.

The staff were friendly & the food was tasty
The miso soup is refillable & honestly it was really flavourful
I've been here 3 times already & I'll definitely be coming back again

Just a heads up:
some of the katsu portions are big enough for two people & are perfect for sharing

Absolutely delicious!! It was my first time trying this restaurant, I had chicken Japanese katsu was exquisite, the fried was perfectly done & crispy, delicious & fluffy rice, as well as warm soup. The place is really nice & well located. The service provided by Ciel was amazing.

I was craving fried chicken & happened to glance at the menu from outside-instantly, it caught my attention. I'm so glad I decided to give this spot a try! The Udon Katsuya (a comforting soup) was absolutely amazing. We also had the takoyaki, & hands down, it's the best I've had in the city-& I've tried plenty. Of course, we couldn't leave without ordering the Supreme Sweet Chili Chicken Katsu, & it did not disappoint. Everything was bursting with flavor. I'm 100% coming back!

Very nice experience. The portions are very generous. Ordered the carbonara katsu which was lightly fried, making it very satisfying. It came with a soup appetizer which was great. Will definitely come back.
