Les avis sur Katsuya soulignent des portions généreuses et un rapport qualité-prix attractif, un katsu croustillant et juteux accompagné de sauces variées (curry, rose, mayo teriyaki, fromage) et des plats qui vont du porc ou poulet katsu à des options plus créatives, sans oublier les accompagnements comme le takoyaki, l'udon et la soupe miso refaillable. La carte est abondante et les saveurs bien équilibrées, avec des desserts et des boissons maison souvent appréciés, et le service généralement chaleureux dans une ambiance cosy et pratique, notamment près du métro. Beaucoup considèrent Katsuya comme l'un des meilleurs spots de katsu à Montréal et apprécient les portions généreuses qui peuvent suffire à partager. Certaines critiques pointent des plats gras ou huileux, des sauces parfois trop sucrées ou acides et des temps d'attente plus longs lorsque le service est débordé; malgré ces bémols, l'expérience globale est jugée satisfaisante, le katsu lui-même de haute qualité et les accompagnements et soupes au rendez-vous, incitant souvent à revenir.
Katsuya has been on my'Want to go' list for years & on end of February, me & my friends decided to go give it a try it. I really loved their Japanese Katsuya chicken & karaage! Super crunchy & sweet-salty sauce balances the flavours. We ate during lunch period so it was nice & peaceful that we're able to have conversations, & service was quick. Prices is roughly $16-$22 depending on what you get. I recommend coming here with friends or a quick lunch/dinner, as it's fulfilling!

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!
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.
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).
Ordered two chicken Katsu's, one curry & one Rose. Both very different & delicious. Current was flavourful with onions in the curry while the Rose had shrimp & bacon in the creamy & lightly spiced sauce. Food was plentiful & delicious. Would visit again when in Montreal, great meal
Absolutely delicious!! It was my first time trying this restaurant, I had chicken Japanese katsu was exquisite, the fried was perfectly done & crispy, delicious & fluffy rice, as well as warm soup. The place is really nice & well located. The service provided by Ciel was amazing.
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! ✌?😊
The food is too sweet for my taste palate & so I didn't enjoy as much. The hot spicy sauce felt just like siracha so I don't think I am fan. However, the food is fresh & the service is great.
We tried the hot spicy sauce katsu & the karaage chicken supreme appetizer. The garlic spicy sauce katsu might have been better.
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
