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!

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).

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
Crystal X.

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
Le T.

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
Lionel B.

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.

The quality and flavors have stayed consistently good throughout the years, which is something I really appreciate. The beef is always fresh and flavorful, and their kimchi is absolutely amazing, especially with the free refills! I also highly recommend their rice cake soup and seafood pancake, which are both incredibly delicious. The yogurt soft serve at the end is such a nice way to finish the meal! However, one thing that unfortunately hasn't changed is the service at the front desk. No matter how many times we've visited, the staff at the front always seem quite rude and dismissive. Even when our entire party arrives on time for a reservation, they still make us wait an additional ten to fifteen minutes without much acknowledgment. Despite the disappointing front desk service, I continue coming back because the food is genuinely delicious and consistently good. I just wish the hospitality matched the quality of the food!

But recently I've felt less delighted and impressed with my dining experience. We came at 8:30 on a Sat which has its pros and cons. The advantage is that there was no line and we were seated right away. The disadvantage was that we felt a little rushed to finish, and the staff was clearly winding down dinner service towards the end. Regardless, we were served well. Our waiter grilled everything for us and made sure we were taken care of. I do feel the meat and banchan quality is not as premium as it was when the restaurant first opened. Nothing blew us away like it did the first couple times I've eaten here. 10 Butchers is owned by the same group that owns the 2 Kunjip restaurants. They clearly know how to run an elevated Korean restaurant. But perhaps Kunjip Tofu and 10 Butchers make a great first impression and then naturally lose their appeal after a few visits. When the bill comes out to $120 per person, I was hoping for that delightful experience when I first came here a few years ago.

The Galbi Jjim is why we come here. I have mixed feelings about it…read more It is quite good - it's an absolute flavor bomb, and I do enjoy it, especially with that sauce all over rice. The beef is mixed quality though. IMO the quality is significantly lower than Daeho - it's often tougher/dryer, more cartiledge-y bits (I know that's a plus for some, it's not something I grew up with). The meat is fine. The veggies are decent. I am sad there are like, only 3 doekbokki noodles in it. So overall, I prefer Daeho (slightly better sauce, better meat), but because Daeho doesn't deliver to me all the way from Milpitas, this is the 2nd best place for galbi jjim that I'm aware of, and I still order from here when I'm craving it.

The decor is a little dated. Service was efficient and met expectations. We ordered Wang Mandoo, LA Galbi, and a Cold Noodle Combo. The Wang Mandoo were described as king size boiled dumplings with beef, pork, and kimchi, and the sizes did not disappoint -- indeed very huge, even larger than the mandoo I've had in Korea. The meat was tender and overall very tasty. The LA Galbi came out as large slices of BBQ short ribs and were tender, juicy, and flavorful. The cold noodle combo came with cold noodles in broth plus bulgogi. You can pick other protein but that's what we chose. The cold noodles were refreshing and the noodles were chewy and bouncy. The portions were fairly large. The bulgogi was probably the most disappointing of all the dishes we had. It was tender beef but lacked some bbq flavor. I appreciated the wide variety of Banchans that were brought out to our table. They also gladly refilled the banchans as needed.

Unlimited banchan.... lots of places has those. Some of the banchan are little-seen in other places, yeah. But I feel like most of the menu is there just to upsell... So take for example, the wagyu Galbi, which was $58. Did it taste good? Yes it does! The meat was tender, and it had this great sauce, which I loved. But the wagyu was completed wasted on it. ANY good piece of beef would have tasted just as delicious... because of the sauce. My wife ordered the Wagyu Tofu Soup. Again... I feel that the wagyu is wasted on this dish as well. It's going to be all tender and mushy from being in the soup anyway. Any beef, almost any cut would have done here. I really liked their seafood pancake though. It's not as mealy as other places. In fact, it tasted more like the Chinese onion pancake... crispier. I really liked it. I wouldn't wait 2 hrs for it though, nor pay $18. If this sounds like I had a negative experience, I definitely did not. The food itself was well cooked and in ways I haven't experienced in other Korean places. The service was really great. The servers monitored our water levels, banchan levels. And despite the full house, the service and meals were quick. BUT... this place has a few cons as well. Unnecessary (IMO) premium ingredients, no reservations, LONG waitlist (even though we were put on the waitlist at 6pm, told it would be a 1.5 hr wait; we still didn't get seated until 8). It just keeps this place out of 5 stars for me, sorry.

If you like savory more than sweet, then you would probably like the best seller yangnyeom galbi more. the brisket was not notable at all, which is consistent with my previous experience of ordering it in the past. the beef tartare comes with nori that you scoop the beef tartare on top of and eat in one bite. It was good and I did enjoy it, but I don't know if I liked it enough to order it again in the future. The seabass was also good and flavorful. Other ingredients in the dish included rice cake, tofu, and radish. I would be down to re-order the sea bass again in the future just so that there's an entree on the table that isn't meat. As for complimentary banchan, there was raw marinated crab, fish cake, potato salad, kim chi, marinated/fermented spinach (?), and another pickled vegetable side dish that I didn't know the name of but it was yummy.
