Pork Loin Katsu
Kylie D.

This spot was definitely unique, they operate out of a ghost kitchen so it's only pick up and it's a little complicated but once I got the food it was good. This place was a bit far from my house but the first time I got it, the katsu stayed crispy the whole time. I honestly liked it a lot the first time that I came back to get it again the next day, but it tasted less fresh and crispy the next day, so a little inconsistent. Also the cheese got hard really fast...Also, there wasn't any service, literally just order online and pick up. Overall, I would probably get this again but only the pork katsu set instead of the cheese one!

Cabbage and rice that comes with the double meat katsu
Helen T.

Amazing Katsu really shines where it counts: the katsu itself. Both the chicken and pork katsu are consistently excellent--crispy, perfectly fried, and still juicy inside. No heaviness, no grease. Just very solid comfort food done right. The double meat katsu does not come with curry sauce, even though the name and the photo make it seem like it does. What actually comes out is a lot of cabbage, a small amount of rice, and no curry. You can order curry sauce on the side, but it's a very small portion for the price--more like a dipping sauce than something you can really pour over your katsu and rice. Because of that, we usually end up making our own curry and rice at home to pair with their katsu. I personally skip the premium tonkatsu since it's a bit too fatty for me, but the regular pork and the chicken are both excellent and dependable. Bottom line: the katsu is genuinely delicious--just don't rely on the photos when ordering if curry is what you're craving.

Chicken Katsu

Takeout-only spot operating out of a ghost kitchen. I recommend ordering ahead online (be sure to select the right location, there are two!) My bf and I tried the pork loin katsu and chicken katsu. The pork was a bit dry, but the chicken was juicy. I appreciated the vented containers, which helped prevent the katsu from getting soggy. The tonkatsu sauce could have been more tangy. It was on the sweeter side

AK operates from the Sunnyvale Food Hub. I'm a sucker for trying Chicken Katsu Curry from virtually any spot in my area. Online ordering and pick up were very easy and clear. My order was ready in about 10 mins. Overall, the food and portion size were just ok. Frankly, it's pretty tough to beat Ramen Izakaya in terms of taste, portion size, and price. My one recommendation is to ditch the wasabi and replace it was pickled radish.

Signature Combo

We read Yelp reviews so we ordered online to avoid having to wait, and it worked! Our food was ready shortly after we arrived. This location is a pick up location only so there wasn't anywhere to sit. We ended up eating in our car however we were not provided with any utensils. We gave this place two stars because although the food tasted good initially, it was very heavy and greasy. We felt very bloated and felt like the oil that was used was most likely a cheap oil which made the whole meal not as enjoyable. It got to be too much and I didn't even want to finish it. The food was also very average and it didn't seem extraordinary. When we have katsu in Japan, it doesn't feel this way. It feels fresh and the taste is enjoyable until the end. Overall, it is not worth coming back for us.

Located along Evelyn Ave right alongside Central Expressway, parking is limited but availability usually and should open up quite quickly since each parking spot has a 5 minute limit. Pork loin katsu (4/5): good serving size and balance of rice, katsu and salad. The katsu wasn't bad. Crispy exterior but was a bit mushy. Ordering was done online but you can also order there. The wait for the food is about 20-30 minutes. Overall, Amazing Katsu

Ordered most of the menu. All was pretty good but  liked Pork Tenderloin Katsu the best: very tender.
Eve K.

Dark kitchen with solid katsu super close to my house. 4.5 stars due to stellar customer service. Food: 4.5 Service: 5 Atmosphere: n/a Cost to worth it rating: 3 Return worthiness: yes Eve award: best katsu in the area Highlights: - Pork tenderloin: fave of the menu--and we pretty much ordered the entire menu. ;-) Fully breaded chunk of meat that was very tender inside and not greasy. 4.5 stars - Pork loin: tasty strips of standard katsu with a bit of fat on the end for flavor. 4.25 stars - Chicken: tender and pure chicken flavor, but prefer the pork. 4 stars - Shrimp: long meaty shrimp did the trick for the seafood lovers (aka me). 4 stars Chicken - Cheese katsu: a layer of thin pork breading with a vat of cheese inside. I thought it was fun, but others weren't as excited. 3.5 stars Midlights: - Pickup process: my first time at a dark kitchen so was bit confusing. You scan your order info at the tablet and then it says to pickup at the counter. The app said my order was ready but there wasn't anyone at the counter. When I finally got a hold of someone they said it is ready but I still needed to wait. After a while when I heard noises on the other side, I scanned again and a locker opened with my food. Lowlights: - Order wasn't quite right--but I got refunded right away and they were very nice and apologetic about it as the menu recently changed. People make mistakes, but good customer service is so hard to come by these days and greatly appreciated. Enjoyed this nearby katsu takeout spot and would order it again.

Meat Lovers Combo
Haley N.

Came inside and was very skeptical since I've never ordered from a multi-restaurant owned building! Found it very cool. I tried ordering on the Kios but it glitched out so I recommend ordering online instead. Ordered the meat lovers combo & my fav was the chicken instead of the pork! Only downside was that they forgot to add in the curry I ordered for extra $5. The food was definitely very good but one sauce was definitely not enough for all the meat. Food came out in about 15 minutes which wasn't too bad. Came at lunch time and the parking was easy.

Signature Combo

My wife and I just devoured our signature combo, and I couldn't wait to share a review. A close friend delivered the meal to us since we recently welcomed our newborn, and it was such a delightful treat! The portions were generous, the sauces were full of flavor, and the Katsus were thick, juicy, and perfectly cooked. The panko coating was light and crispy, just how we love it. I also really appreciated that they thoughtfully cut the box to prevent the Katsu from getting soggy. I'll definitely be ordering more for my birthday this Friday! With so many people traveling to Japan, it's exciting to see new local Japanese spots popping up and raising the bar for quality!

Cal F.

Amazing Katsu is correctly named. The katsu is amazing. Perfectly crispy. Tender meat. I found something in my food that shouldn't have been in there - which is the one knock we had against the place. Don't know if being a "takeout/delivery only" place affects the cooking and preparation. But if the katsu wasn't so tasty, I would probably be angrier at it. Still, the chicken / pork / pork tenderloin katsu + gooey melted cheese katsu were all delicious - and all were consumed in its entirety.

Even though they had a scan…read morecode for ordering, the servers seemed attentive and we got our order taken by one of the ladies. For the price, less than 30 dollars for a sashimi set AND a whole sushi roll (plus salad and miso soup) seemed unreal. The cuts for the sashimi set were really generous. Tuna sashimi isn't usually my favorite, especially when it's on the cheaper end, but I was genuinely surprised how good it was. The presentation for the Hamachi Jalapeño was super pretty and although I personally dont think the hot sauce used with it matched all the flavors of the dish super well, it was still delicious. Quite atmosphere so great if you want to enjoy conversating. Will come back again for sure!

I just ordered something simple since I just wanted to get a feel for the place, and I ordered California rolls, gyoza and miso soup. The California rolls weren't bad but I can't say they were good either. I was hungry so I ate most of them anyway. But I was not impressed and I wouldn't order them again. The gyoza was delicious. No complaints. The miso soup was cold and inedible. I didn't bother eating it. All in all, I would not order from this place again if I'm being honest. Going to keep searching for a sushi place where I enjoy everything I order.

They have a bento box ready made for kids. Udon noodles in broth, fries with a mayo dip, broccoli (yay veggies!) and edamame. My kids, even my picky selective eater, love it. It also comes with a unique Japanese dessert, apple juice and a coin to get your own surprise in the slot machine! The only thing to note is that they don't take reservations. It's first come first serve. During peak hours it can get super busy and you may need to wait awhile for a table. But trust me, it's worth it! Overall I'd definitely recommend coming here to enjoy a nice meal!!! Especially with kids as it's super kid and family friendly. It is for sure one of our favorite places in downtown Mountain View. And considering how many great restaurants there are in this area, that's saying a lot!

This was her first time…read morehaving Izakaya, so it was extra fun to experience it all through her excited, first-time eyes. Spoiler alert: She LOVED it! I made reservations for a Friday night at 6 pm. It was pretty empty when I arrived, but by the time we left, it was packed. We were seated in a booth at the back of the restaurant. It was very dark back there, but that didn't take away from our experience. My friend tried the house-made ginger ale, and she couldn't stop raving about it. She especially loved eating the whole slices of ginger at the bottom of her cup. I tried a sip and agreed it was refreshing. Since this was my friend's first time at a Japanese Izakaya, I ordered an assortment of dishes for us to share. Okay, I HAVE to tell you about the garlic edamame. It was one of the stars of the night. It wasn't just covered in chunks of garlic, like I've had at other restaurants. It was charred over the flame, so it had a salty, garlicky, and smoky flavor. DELICIOUS! We also got the Grilled Mochi. That was another hit. The chewy squares of mochi were covered in their special Enka sauce & served on crispy nori. Yum! We only ordered one item from their special menu that night. Their Garlic Fries were perfectly light, airy, and crispy. My friend said she had never had anything truffle-flavored before. I was surprised that my least favorite dish of the night was the salmon sashimi, as sake is my usual favorite. For some reason, the pieces we had weren't tender and melt-in-your-mouth. The Wagyu Steak Yakitori was super flavorful and tender. That was another great bite from the grill. We both loved the Grilled Salmon Belly w/Salt. It was flaky, juicy, and fatty. The Unagi Don was really good flavor-wise. It was interesting that the egg wasn't a wet scramble, but strips of cooked scrambled eggs. It was served with some pickled veg, which added a nice acidic crunch. We tried the Chicken Thigh Yakitori w/Enka Sauce. Again, such a simple ingredient, but it packed a ton of juicy flavor. The last savory dish was the Assorted Tempura. My friend doesn't usually eat a lot of fried food (I know, what's wrong with her?). hee hee But even she enjoyed the light and crispy shrimp and veggies. For dessert, I tried a scoop of their Yuzu Sorbet, and my friend tried their Green Tea Ice Cream. The food at Enka was great! My friend had a blast trying so many new things, and I enjoyed all of the tasty bites. Enka is definitely one of my new go-to favorites.
