Fast, generous portions, reasonable price. Can't complain about this little shop in the food court inside HMart. The fries are very crispy and everything was tasty. The gyoza are OK. While I really enjoyed my ribeye beef teriyaki, I just wish there was some sort of vegetables to go with it. Oh wait, I opted to get the fries instead of a salad. The korokke (potato cake) was really good. Like a really big hash brown. If you're looking for some quick Japanese-inspired, Asian fusion, this is a nice spot.

Cool shop inside H-Mart offering a variety of Japanese inspired rice dishes. After coming back from Japan I was in the mood for some Tonkatsu so looked this place up. Great portions. Reasonable price. Food is decent. Overall good value. The rice felt like medium/long grain and didn't hold its shape too well. Which makes eating with chopsticks a bit awkward. Tonkatsu sauce here is mild in flavor and is non traditional. Not bad. Must be made in house. Just not as tangy with that stronger Worcestershire flavor I'm used to in Tonkatsu sauce. I prefer the traditional sauce myself. Korokke tasted like deep fried mashed potatoes, good crisp on the fry. I can't place my finger on it but the filling doesn't quite work for me. I don't think the sauce does much for the flavor. Overall good value with 3 for $5.99. A decent option of you're stopping by at hmart for lunch.

We really enjoyed our lunch here. It's inside the H Mart food court, and the air conditioning was pretty cold, so I'd recommend bringing a jacket. We got the fried squid and the curry cheese donkatsu. Both were excellent. The fried squid had an excellent savory seasoning blend. The curry cheese donkatsu had a perfectly crispy crust, melty mellow cheese, and flavorful curry.

Curry Donkatsu

We were coming in from a 4-hour drive and didn't want to cook, so we searched restaurants in the Katy Asia Town area. I wanted Donkatsu as I'd enjoyed it in Japan a couple of months ago. I found prices that ranged up to $18. We paid maybe half that amount in Tokyo! I saw Donkey Yaki's price ($11) and high rating and read reviews before deciding on it. Usually, food court restaurants are just average. Well, this place is really good for what we ordered and paid! My husband had the ribeye and I had the curry donkatsu. Both came with sauce, salad dressing, rice and a crispy salad. My husband wanted more beef, but my plate came with TWO pork cutlets! My sauce had the right amount of curry, but they can make it spicier for Texas tastes. The only things that could make it better are a side of the (red) pickled veggies and a good shake of those rice crispy looking garlic bits!

Was craving a variety of food; luckily Hmart cafeteria has plenty of options! The donkatsu was very delicious/crispy and Donkey Yaki was very generous with the katsu quantity given the price. My only gripe is there's not enough curry for the katsu and rice. Definitely worth trying this place!

Ribeye Beef Teriyaki

I ordered the Ribeye Beef Teriyaki with rice and fries. Normal fries, decent not bad. The beef was tender and flavorful. Overall a decent lunch. I would order again.

This is in the HMart but it's delicous and well priced!! We tried the takoyaki (careful it's really hot!) and katsu curry and both was delicious. You can also ask for more sauce if needed free of charge. The katsu also comes with a salad & delicious Japanese dressing (or can be switched out for fries at no extra cost!). Service was fast and friendly. Can't wait to come back and try their other dishes especially their tornado potatoe swirls on a stick.

Curry Cheese Donkatsu

We were really impressed with this place! Highly recommend. They cook the food to order so there is a wait but it's well worth it. It's located in a food court. The place is nice and clean. The server was friendly and took our order and then went to cook it. The takoyaki was really good. I've had it many times and enjoyed this one. I really loved the curry cheese donkatsu. The curry sauce was super yummy and a little spice. The donkatsu was fried to perfection. Can't wait to return!

Side salad

Delicious little spot inside the Katy H Mart! Stopped here to grab a bite while I'm in the area and I'm glad I did. You order at the counter in the food court and they give you a number -- it only took about 10 minutes to get my food during peak dinner time. I got the curry donkatsu with korokke (potato and corn croquette). Curry donkatsu was really good -- the cutlet was nice and crispy but the overall dish was just your typical curry katsu and didn't really stand out to me among others I've had. Donkatsu is served on a bed of rice and they give you the curry sauce on the side to pour over the cutlet. The plate comes with a side salad topped with an Asian dressing, and this worked well to balance out the savory flavors of the katsu. So all in all, a big portion for $10. The korokke on the other hand was absolutely amazing! I've never had anything like it before. Honestly wasn't expecting much besides a fried potato ball but there was lots of flavor on the inside and they give you a dipping sauce on the side, similar to Raising Cane's sauce. My only complaint here is that the amount of dipping sauce they give is hardly enough to suffice for the three croquettes that comes in the order. Overall a great find inside the Katy Asian Town H Mart and I'd be interested to try some of their other specialties like the cheese donkatsu!

Donkatsu

If you like donkatsu this place is highly recommended. Good portion with very crisp katsu, one of the best in town. My wife always orders cheese donkatsu and the cheese inside is incredible! Must try it! It is located in the Katy Hmart, so it has the food court vibe and you will absolutely love the food here!

Curry cheese donkatsu for $12.99
Ann C.

My favorite new H Mart food court restaurant!! It's Japanese fusion so it serves up different teriyaki and katsu dishes. The potato croquettes were incredible- super soft and fluffy interiors with crispy breading and a delicious curry dressing. I had the cheese curry donkatsu, which is pork and mozarella cheese katsu covered in curry on rice with a salad. The portion sizes are huge, definitely enough to share. The salad was really tasty and fresh with a savory dressing. Service was friendly and fast. Free miso soup with a yelp check in. Stamp card- you get one stamp for every 10 dollars spent and after a certain number I think you get an entree? Will be back for sure!!!

The squid is our favorite it is sooo good Tofu is one of my favorite minus the sauce maybe next time is should order it on the side

Me and family decided to order a dish from a few of the food court restaurants and just try them all. 8pm on a Sunday evening they ran out of the Curry Cheese Donkatsu. It must be very popular. I settled for the CURRY DONKATSU. The portion size was pretty big. I can't imagine finishing a whole entree by myself. It's a great sharing size. Visually it was colorful and clean. The pork katsu was lean and crispy. There was a salad with a variety of vegetables to make it healthy. I didn't feel heavy eating this. It's a great price to portion ratio. If I'm ever in the area I would wanna come back and try their Cheese Donkatsu My cashier was very nice and helpful. Pro-tip: I'm not sure if any of the windows would give out sharing plates because we were eating family style. I asked Donkey Yaki for two small two go boxes. We ripped them in half and used them as bowls. It worked perfectly!

Looking for a good southern loving kitchen in old town Katy? Don't miss this spot. This has quickly…read morebecome our go to spot in Katy, TX as there is such a large variety on the menu. You can come here for dinner or lunch. Today we got the classic burger and a build your own sandwich. The serving sizes were hefty and we definitely left with a happy tummy. The food was fresh and high quality. The wait staff was accommodating and so friendly. We even got to speak with the manager who made us feel like family. There was a large number of pies to select from which honestly was the toughest part of the whole experience. We settled with the key lime pie which was such a great choice but will definitely be back to taste the other types of pies. Lastly, this spot was bustling. We came around the lunch rush so there was a line. However, the line went quick and the tables flipped pretty quickly. We didn't have an issue finding a table and the wait staff was on top of it. This is a family friendly spot that had a southern, homey feel to it. Can't wait to be back for those pies!!

Been here twice now…read more Great key lime pie. Food is good and the place has a nice atmosphere. The first time a nice lady waited on us in take out line. She was a friendly and nice lady. The next trip was tonight. We stood in front of the pie & ice cream counter and no one came. There was 4 younger folks standing by the registers area and they did not even acknowledge our presence or the folks that walked in behind us. I finally walked the 4 feet to the register to get the young man's attention and let him know we would like ice cream and a pie. He seemed a little put out at first but, in the end was pleasant to deal with. Nice place worth trying. They just need a little more awareness on folks coming in and giving them some guidance on where to order and acknowledging their presence. Welcome and can I help you down here would go a long way.

I was thinking that once the buzzer goes off, you'd have to go up and grab your food. I was wrong.

We didn't have to wait long before the staff brought us the order of Ro-Rio's onion rings to start off with. The onion rings were the right crunch and sweetness.

The bison burger was nothing special and you're better off ordering a regular burger instead. They also cooked it way too much (almost well-done) instead of medium-rare. The southern fried chicken is half a chicken plus 2 sides. The breading was well-seasoned and very crispy. The breast meat was a little dry (as expected) but the leg/thigh was very juicy. The meal isn't complete until you get your free cone of soft-serve ice cream.

From the moment…read moreyou step into the clean, large restaurant, you get greeted by the loveliest Korean ahjummas and are seated at a table next to a TV playing some K-Drama. The menu is big, but every item on it is executed so well. The flavors are comparable to that you'll get in Korea, with the side dishes few but perfect (the kimchi, jjangachi, and radish kimchi). My favorite is the gamjatang---there is so much meat, the potatoes are piping hot, and the soup is perfectly seasoned and rich. The pancakes and blood sausages are also delicious. I love coming here whenever I crave authentic Korean food: everything from the service to the meal itself is top-tier. The prices are also very very reasonable, especially lunch prices! Parking is plentiful and it's right off the freeway. You have to come here for the best Korean food in the area---I drive all the way from the Medical Center to come here, and it never disappoints!

Kalbi was $38 for about 7 pieces of real kalbi with mostly bone and fat. Japchae was a generous portion probably to compensate for scant portion of kalbi. Japchae tasted homemade but a little lacking in flavor. Service leaves a bit to be desired. When I asked for my order the lady immediately starts lecturing me on how I shouldn't order online instead of saying hi or thank you, which was really off putting. Would not recommend. Very expensive for what I got even if I did order direct

Service was spot on, quick, and we got our food in what felt like maybe a few minutes. We started off with pork dumplings for the kiddo, which he INHALED in moments. For entrees, we split the orange chicken and the Spicy/Numbing Pot. The orange chicken was spot on. The sauce was sweet but not painfully sweet or thick/clumpy. Really nice orange flavor and tender chicken. So much fun eating it since it is gluten free! Our kiddo also devoured this dish! Mild - not spicy at all! The Spicy Numbing Pot, while a little oily/greasy on the bottom, was still delicious! I appreciated that it wasn't knock your socks off spicy - it had a solid kick, and so flavorful. I love eating dishes with Sichuan Pepper; it has a lot of flavor, and the tingling is so much fun. This dish was perfect with some rice, and it wasn't too heavy for the middle of the day. The prices were really reasonable, and there was enough food for leftovers which we ate later that night. Our only regret is not getting the duck appetizer, but we will be sure to get it next time. We can't wait to go back, and Tiger Noodle will happily be in regular rotation for our family! You can't go wrong!
