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.

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.

The service is nice, the katsu is crispy & tender on the inside, I wish that they come with more gravy, because only half of them are covered & I feel it's enough. We took takoyaki as appetizer which was delicious. Since it was our first time, I asked for recommendations & we got the Curry katsu (it was good but I expected a bit more intense flavour) & the hot spicy Katsu (not as hot as expected). They include a small soup which is very tasty.

We arrived & were seated right away. We were served a pitcher of water & 2 cups. Not too long after looking at their menu through a QR scan, our orders were taken. We got the Takoyakis as an appetizer, Japanese Chicken Katsu, Pork Curry Katsu, Ginger Ale Highball & an Asahi. We received our drinks a few minutes after. Then we waited a good 40 minutes before getting anything. We watched as the other tables before us get served so we just kind of counted down by seeing who was there before us. Finally got our food but after waiting that long, we were saying how it really wasn't worth the wait. My japanese chicken katsu was... ok, portion was big. I did think that it could've came with a little more rice & slaw. My girlfriend's pork katsu didn't come cut so she asked for a knife to cut it herself. My highball was diluted from waiting so long. Halfway through our meal, our waitress initially asked if we received our takoyakis but I heard her ask if we ordered so I said yes. So after a few minutes, I told her we were still waiting & we cleared up the confusion & got our takoyakis (after finishing our main dish) They were delicious. Bigger than usual & the crunch was great. Oh & they kept moving tables around to seat customers but we had to keep moving our tables to give them space. Honestly, did not like that + we didn't get any food at that point. I think it would've been'okay' if we got our takoyakis first then our meals instead of waiting 40 minutes for our main dishes & having our appetizer served later. Also, the people who were seated after us received their food a lot faster than we did. Overall, the food is good but service time & organization is a mess. I would rather make katsu at home to be honest.

Après avoir vu tout les postes instagrammed, 3000 vidéos de gens qui venaient tester ce restaurant, je me suis dit que je devais venir tester. Quelle erreur. Après une heure & 45 minutes d'attentes, nous avons enfin nos plats. J'ai voulu tester les langues de porc avec le fromage fondu dessus & j'ai même pas mangé la moitié tellement la viande était mauvaise. Mon ami a prit un katsu au poulet avec la sauce au miel & j'ai goûté bien meilleur ailleurs pour moins cher. En résumé la nourriture n'était vraiment pas bonne & ne mérite, ni son prix, ni son attente.

The restaurant needs to turn on the AC...it's too hot in there. The music & the people were too loud. Tonkatsu is not that good. Not enough sauce & too dry. Way too expensive for what it is.

The food was alright. Good portion but nothing incredible. The sauce was too thick. If you've travelled to Japan you know that you grind the sesame seeds & pour the sauce & mix. It was impossible with the tonkatsu sauce they provided.

Sweet chili chicken katsu & the honey fries were delicious! The amount of food I ordered could've definitely feed 2 people.
