This was my first time ordering from Katsuyaki - and it was a treat! They are very conscientious about ingredients, the meal presentation was thoughtful, the food delicious, portion size perfect. Even the side salad was huge, very fresh, and beautifully packaged with a delicious house dressing. I thoroughly enjoyed my meal from them and will definitely order again! Special thanks to Valerie for answering my questions and checking on ingredients, and to the awesome Chefs, and to Axel for being so kind and having such a wonderful staff!!

Katsuyaki is hands down best chicken katsu anywhere! Never dry, always lots of flavor. Love the sesame seeds. Calif rolls are great too!

Ordered chicken teriyaki and a beef teriyaki plus (2) shrimp tempura. The chicken and both shrimp orders were overcooked and dry. The beef was tough. Vegetables were perfectly steamed and the tentsuyu was delicious. First and last order.

Tori Katsu Burger basic had a delicious bun and the whole burger was super delish! The teriyaki sauce is so sweet, almost like maple syrup and I loved it. Was surprised at how fluffy the rice is and the spicy sauce is just chef's kiss! Can't go wrong!
