Katsuya est largement reconnu comme une destination incontournable à Montréal pour savourer des plats japonais authentiques et réconfortants, notamment grâce à ses katsu à la fois croustillants et tendres. De nombreux clients soulignent la générosité des portions, la fraîcheur des ingrédients et l'originalité des variantes proposées, comme les populaires katsu à la carbonara rouge ou au fromage. Bien que l'atmosphère soit généralement décrite comme accueillante et moderne et que le personnel soit souvent félicité pour sa gentillesse et son attention, certains convives ont noté des incohérences occasionnelles concernant la rapidité du service pendant les périodes de forte affluence. Malgré quelques avis partagés sur certains accompagnements ou sur l'ambiance intérieure, la majorité des visiteurs considèrent cet établissement comme une adresse fiable et délicieuse offrant un excellent rapport qualité-prix.
I just decided to try this place out of the blue & it was very good. I tried the chicken Japanese Katsu, which are fried chicken strips & they were very good; notably, the sauce really added to the flavor. The serving size is huge, so it was basically two meals for me but should be more than enough for almost anyone. The little side salad was the only thing that wasn't very tasty, but it was a small part of the meal. They have a lot of other options as well, I'm not even sure which ones to try next.
This place is a hidden gem for anyone who loves authentic Japanese comfort food. The portion sizes are very generous for the price point & you can tell they use fresh ingredients. I tried the classic pork katsu & it was cooked to perfection. The staff was very friendly & made sure we had everything we needed throughout our meal. It is a great addition to the neighborhood & I highly recommend checking it out.
Honestly one of the better katsu spots I have been to in Montreal. The breading is nice & thin & the meat is tender. It is not an overly complicated menu which I appreciate because it shows they focus on doing a few things really well. The service was efficient even though the place was quite busy. If you are craving some good Japanese food in the city center this is definitely a place you should keep on your radar.

I went on two occasions: first time I had a Japanese katsu, second time I had the sweet chili katsu. I loved the cutlets for its crunch & flavor. However, for both times, the coleslaw was hard & tasted bland. St-Hubert coleslaw is way better. I would recommend getting dishes that don't have coleslaw. On the bright side, I loved the honey fries, crunchy & lightly powdered with the right amount of sugar~
If you are looking for authentic Japanese tonkatsu in Montreal, Katsuya is one of the few places that actually gets the crust right. It is crispy & fluffy rather than being dense & hard, & most importantly, it isn't greasy at all. My only minor complaint is that the breading tends to fall off the meat quite easily. The pork itself is okay-not dry, but not particularly juicy either.
The service is very friendly, which makes up for the atmosphere. The interior is a bit dark & feels a little run-down, so it's not exactly'cozy,' but for the decent price point, it's worth it. I will definitely be coming back!
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-$22 depending on what you get. I recommend coming here with friends or a quick lunch/dinner, as it's fulfilling!
Hum first of all, they play ads of their own restaurant on their TVs in their own restaurant. Like... 🦍 But anyways.
I ordered the japanese tonkatsu pork loin for 18.95$ + tax + tips. The meat was cooked nicely & breaded nicely. It had 6-7 pieces of freshly cut meats for me to enjoy & taste. The meal also comes with a mortar & pestle (pestle & mortar) where you can grind the seeds to drizzle the sizzle on the rizzle. It also came with rice (nice) & a sauce for the meat. Now, let me be frank, the sauce, not really it, too sweet & feels like it takes away from the meat experience. The cabbage was too shredded, this causes the cabbage to be harder to pickup'individually', picking a bit of the cabbage ends up picking 60-70% with one pinch. I have to poke at it to get the desired amount. Furthermore, this also causes the cabbage to hold more water as it can't drain the water efficiently which waters out the taste.
The service was great. We were seated promptly & the waiter & waitress were nice & served us nicely (nice).
Now, the elephant in the room, our seating. Oh my chillies, we were seated next to the entrance & the cold freezing blizzard frosty air was whipping our table like a frost monster from Freljord. Not cool (lol).
The atmosphere was really nice. Since it was my first visit, I was a bit confused but the staff were friendly & explained everything well, which I really appreciated. The curry katsu & the japanese katsu were both crispy & delicious & they pair perfectly with the house lemonade. If you're looking for a Japanese style katsu restaurant, I think this place would be my number one. It also seems like the only truly authentic Japanese katsu spot in Montreal.
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.
