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! read more

Amazing Katsu - Pork Loin Katsu - Korean Near Me - Sunnyvale, California

I got the set with shrimp, pork, and chicken and it was fire. I've been coming here to pickup lunch regularly (ghost kitchen). The Santa Clara and Sunnyvale location and about the same, can't tell any difference in quality. My favorite is the shrimp with the tartar sauce. The fry they put on the Katsu is also special, much flakier and crispier than a typical fry. I've been ordering off DoorDash and getting 10 dollar reward every once in a while which is nice as well (not sure how much more it costs to order of DD compared to directly from their site tho). read more

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. read more

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 read more

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. read more

I was initially skeptical about how good katsu can be that you pick up thru a locker... but now I have been here twice in a week. Their food is amazing! I love the detail of making a vent hole in the take out box so the katsu doesn't get soggy. And the fact that they include Japanese mustard on the side... that is a very authentic touch. (I grew up in Japan, so I can vouch for the quality and taste). Highly recommend! read more

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. read more

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 read more

Amazing Katsu - Korean Near Me - Sunnyvale, California

Very disappointed with my experience. The portions for the chicken katsu were extremely small and not worth the price. They also charged an additional $1.50 for a tiny amount of sauce, which felt unreasonable. DISGUSTING BEHAVIOR AND THE FOOD NOT GOOD!!! Miso soup was disgustingly bland!!!! What the hell?!?! The salad dressing portion was also very small, and to make matters worse, the container wasn't closed properly, causing it to leak. Attention to detail and customer service seem to be lacking. I expected much better quality and value for what I paid, and unfortunately, I won't be returning. read more

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. read more

Amazing Katsu - Ordered most of the menu. All was pretty good but liked Pork Tenderloin Katsu the best: very tender. - Korean Near Me - Sunnyvale, California

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. read more

Amazing Katsu - Meat Lovers Combo - Korean Near Me - Sunnyvale, California

It was quick and simple. I loved the cheese katsu I ordered. I wish they had another sit-down restaurant though.

Waiting over an hour for 1 single item. Asking front staff to get help. Front staff said my order was lost due to system error and can't help. No appologize, no assistant, no explaination. Calling restaurant number, autamatic respond and hung up. Front staff bring up my receipt to check with the kitchen, promise to prioritize my order and should be ready around 10 min. After 90 min waiting total, still not receive my order. I have to cancel my order and leave. read more

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! read more

Very solid (if a little pricey) katsu in a strange location. You order online and pick up in the back of this event venue, right next to simbongsa, but at least parking is easy to find! We got a side of curry sauce and that was my husband's favorite way to have the katsu. It comes with rice and cabbage, and I have no complaints! It does take a while to come out, but the guy at the counter was very nice. I'd come back again! read more

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. read more

I discovered this place on Grubhub and wanted to try it because I had a craving for katsu! Because I had allergies, I had to check to see if I could eat the products. I dialed in and the individual that answered not only reassured me that none of the products had the allergens I was asking for but was very kind to speak to! When it was delivered, I was impressed with the overall presentation and how tasty it was. I would 100% order again! I ordered the Meat Lovers Combo (note: miso soup + sauce not pictured here but tasty!). read more

Best takoyaki! Ther katsu is crispy and not oily at all but could use some seasoning. But outstanding takoyaki, cheese katsu was pretty good too read more

I have ordered this via Doordash for pick-up and delivery. The first time was a disaster since the delivery driver dropped off the wrong order. As a few have mentioned, it's a "Ghost Kitchen" so there's a few stores there. But this was a Doordash issue so we tried again with a pick-up to be sure. Third time was delivery and that worked fine. As to the food, it was delicious and of great quality. Try the sampler combo first then pare down to what you like. Or just go crazy...it's good. read more

Had the pork loin,tenders and shrimp combo. Now that's thick, juicy and lean pork tenderloins. Good size shrimp too. The batter is light, airy, and tasty. I was concerned that with the thick cuts it would be overly oily, but found more juice than oil so surprisingly not overly oily. Maybe because I picked up about 20 mins late and provided more time for oil to drain. I've read some people being critical of the pork being light in flavor. I would say a bit watery to substitute the oil with. With that the Katsu sauce is typical and good, but a bit underwhelming, too light for this thick and juicy stuff. Now the curry sauce hits well and highly recommend to provide the perfect Katsu experience. Some prior ad pics show what appears to be scoops of potato salad. Bring this back along with a cup of Japanese variety pickles and you'll have a line down the street. Only delivered or to go is fine with me. I'll be back read more

The giant tempura shrimp was amazing! The Tonkatsu was thick , juicy in side, but crisp outside. Very authentic in Japanese cuisine. I highly recommend you to try it! read more

To go option for katsu maybe isn't the best? We were only 10 mins from home but by the time we opened up the box, the katsu wasn't crispy anymore so the texture just wasn't great. We had also waited a crazy long time so it was just unfortunately very underwhelming :( read more

Pretty good and highly recommended. The pork Katsu was golden and perfectly crispy, with a juicy and tender center. The breading wasn't too oily, which is a big plus. The katsu thick sauce was tangy and slightly sweet, complementing the pork nicely without overpowering it. The dish was served with a fresh cabbage slaw that added a nice crunch and a side of steaming white rice--simple but well-executed. Tips - For those who ordering online using apple pay, please make sure you scroll down to review the total pricing before paying (15% tips will be automatically added). Not cool, just fyi. read more

This place is the best!! Chicken and pork are the tastiest and the portions are huge! Just wish you could dine in...but still an amazing place! Best Katsu around...only better was in Japan!! read more

We ordered the cheese katsu and pork lion katsu deluxe set. Overall, the cheese katsu was good, but the pork lion katsu was a little dry for my taste. We waited about 50 minutes for the food- which is honestly a really long time. After FINALLY getting our food and driving home, we realized we weren't given our rice and cabbage included in the deluxe set. Disappointed, yes. Super annoyed, forsure! Luckily we didn't live too far so we drove back and got our rice and cabbage. All in all- don't come here if you are already feeling hungry and check your bags before you leave. read more

This is a ghost kitchen and you pick up in a locker. The katsu was warm and crispy when I picked it up. I got katsu with curry and I found the curry sauce rather bland. If I order again I would go with plain katsu with tonkatsu sauce rather than curry. read more

I ordered the pork katsu, and halfway through eating, I noticed one piece had a green spot that looked like mold. It was extremely off-putting and made me question how long the meat had been sitting out. The katsu was also heavily over-fried, which made me wonder if it was done to cover up that the meat wasn't fresh. so disgusting!!!! read more

Don't be dissuaded by the 2-3 star reviews. I recently traveled to Japan and feel this Katsu rivals all meals I had over there. Grab on of their platters to try both the chicken and pork. The quality of the meats, way they're cooked in clean oils, etc. is so apparent bite by bite! Can't wait to order here again! read more

Scam!! The pick up location is actually Santa Clara and not Sunnyvale but they don't tell you that until after you've ordered and been charged. And when I called to inquire, I was told they said the location when we ordered. No they did not or I would not have ordered 15 more miles away. Bad business We ordered via phone number from Yelp for the Sunnyvale location. read more

Tried the pork and chicken katsu, both were super crispy. Comes with katsu sauce, rice, salad, soup. I'd recommend paying extra for the double meat (extra $6?) because they don't give much meat vs rice. Operates out of a cloud kitchen. Overall good but a bit pricey. read more

The food was amazing! We got the chicken deluxe box with a side of kimchi. The Katsu isn't too oily, and the sauce was perfect. Kimchi wasn't too sour, but it could be a little bit spicier. The set also came with miso soup, two scoops of rice and a GENEROUS heaping of shredded cabbage. I do wish the cheese katsu came in a set - I would have gotten that if it did! read more
