Rolls were good and the manager recommendation was tasty.

Did I mention the BOGO 50% OFF for all special rolls?

It was my first time visiting 88 Katsu, and I really enjoyed the food! The quality was great,…read moreespecially the chicken katsu. It was incredibly juicy and tender on the inside, with a perfectly crispy coating on the outside! The staff were friendly and welcoming, and the interior was clean. The only downside was the price, which I felt was a bit on the expensive side. Overall, though, it was a great first experience!

We came during lunch time and it has no line! The servers were able to seat us right away. I…read morethought the restaurant was very clean and modernize, which is similar to one of the katsu place I have in Irvine. We got the pork katsu and the cold bibim udon Pork katsu 5/5: standard pork katsu but it comes with all the side dishes and a miso soup and rice! I thought the portion was very generous and the pork was MASSIVE! Some places have thin pork but thick breading BUT 88 katsu has big cutlet and thinly layers of breading which I thought was great. It is very seasoned well and the cabbage that comes with add a nice touch away from all the breadcrumbs. Cold bibim udon 3/5: this dish was great at the beginning, it was flavorful and comes with crushed peanut, cabbage and sweet and spicy sauce. I wish the udon was a bit softer. It was so chewy to the point where I had to chew it multiple times to go down! I also almost choked as the noodles were very long and takes quiet bit of time to swallow. It was good at the beginning but it became very very boring and repetitive as it was very rich and sweet. Not sure if I would order this again

However, once I ordered it and saw what it actually was, I found it a bit simpler than I had expected. The cream was essentially a foamy, protein-like substance that added some texture to the dish but didn't contribute much in terms of flavor. Overall, it wasn't bad, but nothing particularly memorable or worth writing home about. The restaurant itself was small, and the staff was nice and friendly. Service was quick and efficient.

We got to this plaza and all the food options were closed except sushi and holdakk. We decided to…read moreget sushi and I'm so thankful everything was closed because I wouldn't have gotten sushi tonight and what a mistake that would be. We kept it simple: spicy tuna hand roll, salmon hand roll and the rocker tempura roll. That first bite!! There was the appropriate amount of crunch, the fish was so fresh, the avocado creamy, so flavorful! We kept just talking about the next time we come to this place while we were actively eating our roll. The staff was very helpful in helping me pick out the roll I wanted. Just told him what I didn't want and he guided me to the delicious roll. The location itself was empty and I'm not sure why because everyone should be eating here with the quality and flavor we tried just with these 3 items we got. Can't wait to come back

Also the servers were so friendly attentive and welcoming ! The chefs were also so nice when we arrived and left !
