Menu is a bit of a hit or miss… I did like my pork curry, but my friends didn't enjoy their original & Japanese chicken ones. The appetizers - honey fries, shrimps & karaage - were very underwhelming. Portion sizes were good.

Wanted to try Katsu & this establishment was recommended by my sister in law.
There's lots I different meals to choose from. A few appetizers also available. We had the snow cheese balls(3) for an appetizer, which is breaded crab meat with cheese. The main meals were Sweet Chilli Katsu & a Pork Curry Katsu.
Both came with shredded lettuce & rice & were of decent portions. The whole meal was good!
Decent sized dining area, probably about 80 seats. Clean & very relaxing atmosphere. Service was very good! They accept cash & major credit cards. No dedicated parking so parking on the street could be a challenge.
Overall a very good supper experience. Would recommend.

I thought it's the only one authentic katsksuya in Montreal (I haven't found other ones)

J'ai pris à emporter & c'était tout simplement délicieux ! Le poulet est si croustillant c'est un régal 🤤 Sauce généreuse & gourmande. Je recommande.

Not my first time eating at Katsuya. They are the go-to restaurant when I crave for Tonkatsu.
Big portion, definitely worth your pennies. You can get refill for rice & eat with any remaining sauce on the plate. Great options for sauce.
I like spicy food & their rose sauce is amazing. My boyfriend likes the Mayo Teriyaki, it matches the meaty tonkatsu so well.

This is a great spot to visit whenever I'm craving Japanese-style pork cutlets. The outside is perfectly crispy, the meat is thick & juicy, & every bite is really satisfying. They also offer options like cheese katsu & Korean-style pork cutlets with sauce on top, so it's fun to choose based on what you're in the mood for. If you order the Japanese-style katsu, you can even grind your own sesame seeds & mix them into the sauce-just like in Japan. & paired with an Asahi Super Dry, which you can't skip when it comes to Japanese food… isn't that pretty much heaven? ^^

The Pork Katsu & tempura with tartare sauce were incredible, really delicious & filling. The staffs were really attentive & thoughtful to what I asked & for that I commend them, hats off! Highly recommended restaurant. Good service & great food. Will absolutely order again/go to the restaurant in person. ❤?❤?❤?❤?❤?

Good spot in downtown for a Japanese-Korean meal.

Came here on a Monday for a quick lunch. Even during the busy hour, the place was pretty empty, so food came out fast. The setup reminded me of the Katsuya-style restaurants that are big in South Korea. Tons of tonkatsu variations with Korean street-food like toppokki. This location felt a notch below what you'd get in Seoul, but still better than most spots in North America.

From the Korean side of the menu, I got the mala cream toppokki. Never tried it during its hype era, & it was actually better than I expected. Thin cylindrical rice cakes (which I usually prefer) & a mala cream sauce with enough heat without that heavy carbonara vibe.

The chicken karaage was decent. I went with thigh meat, but they didn't drain the oil properly, so it leaned a bit greasy. For tonkatsu, I'd been craving a proper cheese katsu, so I ordered Gold & Silver (half mozzarella, half cheddar). The cheddar half was too sharp & salty, while the mozzarella side was solid, though the pork crust ran a tad dry.

Still a good option if you want casual Korean & Japanese comfort food downtown at a reasonable price.

Really good portion. Got two stories of katsu, salad, rice & soup. Bottle of Acqua di Gio after shave balm for size reference
