Overall, Katsuya is described as a go-to for generous portions of crispy katsu and a fusion friendly menu that covers pork, chicken, cheese katsu, takoyaki, udon and miso soup with refills. Diners praise the quality, variety and value, with favorites like rose sauce katsu, curry katsu and cheese filled options and plenty of sharing friendly portions. The staff and atmosphere are often noted as friendly and welcoming, and service is quick, though there are occasional complaints about oiliness, overly heavy sauces, long waits and uneven portion details. Many reviews emphasize the reliability and authenticity of the katsu experience while appreciating the sides and sauces that elevate meals. Overall, Katsuya stands out as a top Montreal spot for katsu, offering big portions, tasty sauces and creative twists, while some meals can feel heavier or less consistent depending on the dish.
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.
C'était correct. La nourriture était bonne, surtout le bouillon des udon. Autrement, j'ai été un peu déçue ! Ils ont une offre diversifiée dans les saveurs cela dit. Les plats n'étaient pas très détaillés dans le menu. Le service était correct.
This is a Korean donkatsu chain restaurant. They offer a wide selection of katsu (pork cutlet) dishes, along with fusion-style combos such as tteokbokki, udon, & cold noodles. Every dish was really good-the coating was very crispy, & the meat was juicy. The rose tteokbokki with katsu was my favorite, & I'll definitely be going back!
As we stepped into the restaurant, we were warmly welcomed by the two waitresses & they were both friendly & patient serving us throughout the night. They took the time to explain us their menu & give us their recommendations & it made the dining experience so much more enjoyable. The food was great. I was surprised by the level of spiciness in the carbonara udon since spicy Japanese food is usually not that spicy. I really liked the kick it gave & it added nicely to the flavours. The carbonara udon I had was quite enjoyable with the thick & creamy sauce which complemented the noodles so well. I do feel like if the tempura shrimp was a bit crispier, it would have been even more amazing. Regardless, I would love to come back & try more of their items in their menu because so many of them looks interesting & delicious.

Amazing food I've never tried anything like it! The udon Katsuya was different in a very good way! Takoyaki was to die for! I've tried many takoyakis in different restaurants but this one definitely tops its off! Very hospitable staff as well they are so nice!
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!
If you're looking for a top-notch katsu place that's worth every penny, this is it - KATSUYA!!! From the moment you walk in, the service is welcoming & incredibly fast, without ever compromising on quality. The staff is friendly, attentive, & more than happy to answer any questions about the ingredients-full transparency, which is rare to find these days.
Now, the food-absolutely perfect every single time. The katsu is crispy, golden, & perfectly cooked, with a juicy & flavorful interior. Whether you go for the classic pork, chicken, or even a specialty option, every bite is a delight. The sides & sauces are just as impressive, elevating the meal to another level.
Consistency is key, & they nail it. Every visit feels like the first, with the same delicious flavors & high standards. If you're a katsu lover or even just looking for a great meal, this place is a must-visit. 5 stars, no hesitation!
PS: My go-to is either Rose Katsu (Fish) or Rose Udon (shrimp). You're welcome! ✌?😊
Second time here with friends, we had an amazing time. I took the supreme original pork katsu & there was 2 pieces so the price is quite fair for the quantity. The client service was really good ! They have unlimited refills of udon soup, salad & rice 😏 I took 4 refills of soup, one of salad & one of rice & they all came out really quickly !
La meilleure franchise de Katsuya à mon avis (comparant à Finch Av / Mississauga / Yorkdale). Bonnes portions, katsu traditionnel au poulet croustillant, poulet blanc, pas graisseux. Excellent riz blanc, bien cuit. Excellent service. Un bloc à peine depuis la station de métro. Servi avec chou & soupe miso & sauce japonaise katsuya (mais seul petit bémol : pas assez de sauce !) J'aimerais aussi que leur menu inclus une soupe udon au boeuf (pas de fruits de mer & sauce carbonara).
I tried the Rosé toppoki chicken katsu & Katsuya udon. Both of them were tasty. The toppoki was spicy & really good with the katsu. The broth of the katsuya udon was really good & it's pretty great for decreasing the spicy from the rosé toppoki. It was just that the service that was a bit slow because there was only one staff that taking the order & cleaning the tables. Overall, the food was tasty.
We went here for a dinner to celebrate. We ordered the Gold & Silver Brick Katsu & Udon noodle soup. It was delicious & fresh. They gave me the original Katsu for free as their apology because of the 6-7 minute delay of service. I didn't ask for it, their customer service is just simply superb!
