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.
I saw this restaurant on intstagram & I came with my friend today! The miso soup was flavourful & hot . Our meals was really good too . I had the Terri mayo chicken katsu ! It was delicious & the portion was satisfying!
I will come again ! I would add a picture but I started eating before I realized I didn't take one lol oops
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 !

Un excellent restaurant à essayer ! Le poulet Katsu avait le vrai goût du Japon & aussi le highball. On ne pouvait pas réserver une table, mais le service était rapide & impeccable bien que le restaurant soit rempli.
I lovedddddd it soooo muchhhh. I discovered this only recently (about a month ago) & it has become my go- to favourite restaurant since. The service was great, the staffs were friendly, & the food is TOP TIER!!!
They have so many options to pick from, & each of them is just a a scrumptious as the other ones.
I have been here multiple of times & will continue to visit them.
good portion of katsu. Rice is not tasty. BBQ sauce with the japanese katsu item is strange. Sesame is hard to make into a paste because no space to do it. Everything is korean style, sweet, garlicky.

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).
Atmosphere is okay kimd of depressing but he music was always good, I got the chicken curry katsuya. It was well spiced. The portion or rice was on the smaller end. However, surprisingly, it filled me up a well-made meal. It tasted basic & nor acidic & the food was great would recommend giving it a try. The service was well. The workers seemed tired but it is to be expected before after the long winter break.
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.
