Their fried chicken cutlets are all about thin skin, without that heavy, floury texture, making them incredibly refreshing. The chicken thigh skin is fried until it's paper-thin & crispy, & when you tear it open, the inside is bursting with juicy goodness. Paired with a touch of wasabi, it's simply divine!
The fried pork cutlet is their signature dish. It's ridiculously thick. The breading is incredibly crispy, while the meat inside is as tender & juicy as melting snow. Every bite is a satisfying crunch, & the cheese filling inside is so stretchy & delicious-a must-order!
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.
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? ^^

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.
Food was decent but overall experience at katsuya was pretty bad. The food was rally good, packed with flavour but loaded with oil. I understand everything was deep fried but the taste of the oil was very apparent. The food looks better than it tastes. We took the pork filled with cheese, which was ok. & we also tried a garlic spicy chicken which was better. Good amount of chicken in the dish which was good to see. The service however was horrible. The waiter was very hard to talk to. He dropped water on our table & did not apologize. He did not come back to clean it even. We asked for napkins to clean it ourselves, they never came as well. Overall the food was decent but the service was so bad that I would not go there again.
Katsuya offers a pleasant dining experience with friendly service & generous meal portions. The atmosphere is comfortable, & it's easy to enjoy a meal here without feeling rushed.
The Chicken Katsu with Curry Sauce was very flaky & light, with a satisfying crunch & a big portion. The curry sauce was typical Japanese-style curry. It is solid, though nothing extraordinary.
The Pork & Cheese Katsu with Rosée Sauce was crispy & light as well. The rosée sauce had a salty kick, & the combination with pork & cheese was unique & interesting. Definitely worth trying if you like creative twists.
The salad came with a smoky, light dressing that was surprisingly good. The takoyaki was crunchy, which is different from the usual soft, mushy style. The sweet sauce combined with the crunch felt a bit overwhelming after a while, but it's an interesting variation.
Overall, the katsu is excellent & the generous portions make it a satisfying meal. Highly recommend giving Katsuya a try for delicious katsu with some creative twists.
Big portion but it was my first actual meal at 5 PM so I had it in one go lol, but it can actually be shared with two people. Very good katsu! Had chicken curry. Even the breading was so good.
Only downside is pricing for one person (1 katsu with rice plus half of the cheese balls was already $30).
amazing food! the service was very friendly as well! I recommend the cheese balls & sweet potato cheese katsu. it's life changing, everyone needs to try it at least once in their lifetime
