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.
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.
Good crispy katsu. You can get extra sauce but I don't think it's necessary. Katsu portions are large while rice portion is small. The chicken karaage included 3 types of sauce. The chicken is offered either as wings or boneless, but they only had boneless at the time. Be aware if you like cheese the Brick Cheese katsu includes a ton of cheese & my friend felt it can be a bit of a heavy meal but the cheese does stretch.
My partner & I ate here on Friday August 9th around 4PM. This is a small restaurant conveniently located steps away from the Guy Concordia/St Mathieu exit of the metro. It's close to the university & many other great asian restaurants. Decor is modern, clean. Recently renovated as it opened in June of 2024. I heard about it through social media, they have other chains throughout Canada & the videos I saw all featured beautifully presented, generous portions of fried pork, chicken, fish or cheese drizzles in sauces & curries. My experience was just as advsertised, & delicious! Since we dined early, the restaurant was pretty empty. We were seated right away, offered a jug of cold water & showed how to retrieve the menu. They do not serve a printed menu, you will need to scan a QR code at the table to open up a PDF menu. This is easily accesible on their website as well. The specialty is fried chicken, pork cutlets, fish or cheese deep fried in a light breading & coated with a curry or teriyaki, mayo style sauce. There are different types of curries & sauces to choose from, including carbonara which is an original idea. The dishes are served with a small soup, white rice & pickled slaw/vegetables. We ordered an appetizer of the "snow cheese balls" which are deep fried mozzarella balls covered in a sweet honey type powder. Our main meals were the chicken katsu with carbonara & the pork katsu with original curry. The portions were generous, enough to share, & flavors were amazing. Meats were super tender, the curries were mild, not spicy & the breading on the meats were krispy, cooked perfectly. There's a lot I'd love to try, highly recommend coming with more people if you want to order more food & share. Service was friendly, food was speedy & everything was tasty. Must try!
This place is new to Montréal but still fantastic. The staff are super friendly & helpful. The food is always terrific, & you will be satisfied with the portions. I love the honeycomb pork or chicken Katsu. I will be a repeat customer forever.
The portion is HUGE, well worth the 20$ price. This shop specializes in fried cutlets (katsu) : you can choose the type of meat you want (chicken, pork, fish) or vegetarian (cheese or sweet potato & cheese) & also the sauce that you want. They have several options to choose from. I tried the curry one & my friend got the sweet chili supreme. Both were nicely fried & sauces were good. Earlier in the month, I tried more stuff from the menu & the quality was maintained. Get the fried cheeseballs & the yuzu highball. Overall, a good place for lunch, for takeout or just a easy supper.
The service was amazing, despite it being very busy we were served quickly & efficiently. Our waitress was kind & informative when we had questions. The menu was fine, had options of all sorts for different diets & it told you off the bat how spicy it was, if it was vegetarian or if it had pork etc & that was nice. The food itself wasn't great. The carbonara udon simply tasted like buldak noodles with add-ons & the katsu was crispy but nothing really special. The cheese balls were pretty good, but we didn't like the other chicken entee we got. My friends & I wouldn't go again, but we definitely didn't regret going as it was a nice experience to have
Really nice & great service! You get free rice refills on the side which is amazing for people who take big bites of rice with their dish. The chicken was very good & large portions made me very full! Definitely recommend.
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.
