Think made-to-order elevated food court Chinese-ISH-style dishes. SERVICE: when we first walked in, the guy bussing tables onto his cart made eye contact, then COMPLETELY IGNORED US despite it being obvious that we were there for dinner. off-putting, i ALMOST WALKED OUT :/ Once we chased someone down and got seated, our waiter was super FRIENDLY AND HELPFUL. Food came out quickly and piping hot. FOOD: PORTIONS-what stands out is the HUGE PORTIONS, one plate could probably feed to and perhaps three moderate eaters. QUALITY-unusually and OVERWHELMINGLY OILY. Way more than I would've expected, and detracted from the eating experience. **Cheese WonTon-wrappers were FRIED CRISP AND TENDER, but the decent dollop of cream cheese filling was overwhelming. **KUNG POW CHICKEN was the BEST DISH we had, barely spicy but it hid the oiliness better somehow. **NOODLE (?chow fun) SHRIMP was difficult to eat, and the EXCESSIVE GREASE COATED MY TONGUE so bad the i couldn't taste the shrimp or veggies. **BLACK BEAN BEEF was fair. OILY BUT FLAVORFUL. veggies were nicely cooked still crunchy, but the HARSH ONIONS were overpowering. sweet or milder onions would let me taste the other ingredients more. the beef itself was tender and tasty. I personally won't be returning, but I see the value due to large portions and moderate prices. i'd gladly sacrifice quantity for higher quality.

I hope to see this restaurant open some other time, even if it's in a different place. From what I remember the soup was great, and the other foods we placed in them were almost nice.

The owner was also nice and chill, along with the rest of staff, hope they're doing well.

I hadn't been to this place in like 12 years prior to this dinner. I remember liking it a lot in…read morethe past. I do feel that this place needs to up their game. Other places have passed them by in some respects First there is no sauce bar here. Just four small containers of sauces you can use. Ironically none of those sauces are soy sauce. A darker possible peanut sauce, a sesame sauce, a pinkish possibly fermented tofu sauce and the standard chili oil. I wanted more as far as the sauce goes and I thought a sauce bar was pretty standard these days Second there is no AYCE bar with small snacks. Kind of interesting When ordering the meat, I guess they wanted to save a plate so the sliced meats just came in plastic containers. That loses some points with me on presentation Other than that everything is fine. They charge a little less for the broth than a lot of places do, so that's nice Got vegetables, mushrooms, tofu, noodles and a couple of meats. Overall it's a fine experience, mostly Ok to Good. But the lack of some things makes it more second tier for me and it would not be a go to hot pot place for me

I've eaten here several times, and one thing is always the same, it's busy. That probably says a…read morelot about the times we are living in. With the cost of groceries, gas, and dining out continuing to climb, people are looking for a place where they can get a good meal without spending a fortune. This place fits the bill. If you come before 4:00 p.m. on a weekday, lunch is around $15. That's about what you'd spend on a burger, fries, and a drink at some fast-food chains these days, except here you get an entire buffet with plenty of choices. The salad bar is well stocked and includes fresh fruit. They also have sushi rolls and nigiri. Is it sushi restaurant quality? No. But considering that one specialty roll at a sushi restaurant can cost $12-$16 by itself, it's a nice bonus. My favorite item is fried chicken. It's crispy, flavorful, and consistently juicy. I would gladly pay the lunch price just for the chicken. They also serve a very good pot roast, meaty pork ribs, and on Fridays they have a surprisingly good rib roast. Those are just a few of the highlights because there are plenty of other dishes to choose from. As for the staff, most of the employees appear to be young and may be working their first job. The cooks aren't trying to be gourmet chefs, they focus on preparing the buffet items well, and overall, they do a good job keeping the food coming despite how busy the restaurant gets. If you're looking for a fine dining experience prepared by professionally trained chefs, this probably isn't the place for you. But if your goal is to enjoy a wide variety of good food at a price that's hard to beat in today's economy, this buffet is definitely worth a visit. Just be prepared for a crowd, that's usually a sign they're doing something right.

The Coconut Shrimp is also delicious, and I love that they don't charge extra for shrimp like many other places do they price it the same as the other sides, which is a huge plus. The food is always fresh, and the owners are incredibly sweet and welcoming. If you want a dish made fresh, they're more than happy to make it for you. The restaurant is clean, spacious, and comfortable. The only downside for me was the drinks. I tried the Strawberry Green Tea, and it was very watered down with almost no flavor. The Milk Tea and Thai Tea were also lacking flavor. I really hope they improve the drinks because I absolutely love this place and would love to grab a fresh, flavorful tea with my meal. Overall, the food is excellent, the service is wonderful, and the atmosphere is clean and inviting. I will definitely keep coming back for the food!

Head to their fried foods section and you'll find pizza, sweet potatoes, sesame balls, egg tarts, and bbq chicken skewers. For soups, enjoy a spicy hot and sour, fish maw and imitation crab, or meat ball soup. They even have shu mai, taro buns, sticky red bean rice, and sticky mushroom rice. I love going to their customizable stir fry line and making my own fried udon with egg, pineapple, garlic, and mushrooms. They have lots of seafood, sushi, and sashimi too from rolls to seaweed salad, crab legs, and more! Need a sweet treat? Don't forget about their chocolate fountain with strawberries and marshmallows, popcorn machine, or chocolate and mango cream cups or cake bites. They even have a fungus soup dessert, lychee, oranges, pineapples, jello, banana pudding, and more! Thanks Kami for a great time.

There's a solid variety of options, and you can definitely find something to satisfy whatever you're in the mood for. A few of the fruit and sushi items seemed like they may have been sitting out for a bit, which can happen at buffets, but there were still plenty of other choices to enjoy. The Mongolian grill wasn't running during my visit (I believe it's available during dinner hours), so that's something I'd be curious to try next time. The standout for me was actually the soups -- both the hot & sour soup and the miso soup were flavorful and comforting, and I ended up going back for more. Service was fine: nothing over-the-top, but attentive enough to keep things moving smoothly. All in all, it's a decent, no-frills buffet spot. I'd call it a solid 3-star experience, especially if you're nearby and craving variety in one place.

I had a good experience at Don Katsu (Montebello). I ordered the Seafood Katsu Lunchbox ($18.97)…read more It includes three breaded jumbo shrimp, two breaded fish filets, rice, macaroni salad, salad, and tartar sauce. It's A LOT of food!! I had plenty of leftovers! (Quick Note: This business is located inside the Montebello's Mall Food Court. It's a food stall.) I arrived at Don Katsu (Montebello) on a weekday. Parking is very easy. Since it's located in the mall's food hall, it's near an enormous parking lot. Staff is professional, friendly, and diligent. Staff (receipt says Bere) worked hard. The food was cooked to order, and the food took about 10 minutes. As mentioned, I ordered the Seafood Katsu Lunchbox ($18.97). This meal can easily feed two people. I especially LOVE how the meal was breaded and fried perfectly. The breading was crisp, flaky, and fresh. The meal also had wonderful good quality, thick shrimp. TASTY!! However, the fried fish filets were lackluster, the fish came hot and a bit mushy. It tasted like the generic warmed up pre-frozen filets from Trader Joe's. The rice came lukewarm, but I appreciated how the salad tasted fresh and clean. The macaroni also had a pleasant light tang. Although I wouldn't reorder this meal, it's a satisfying budget meal. On ambiance, Don Katsu (Montebello) is unmemorable since it's a food court. However, the location felt clean and well tended. Also, I appreciate how this stall is near a cylinder with electrical plug outlets and the mall's restroom area. I felt safe as I ate. Overall, Don Katsu (Montebello) is a wonderful destination for hungry customers on a budget. The food is HUGE, and there's effort in the meals. Although the ingredients didn't feel the freshest, it's still a clean & satisfying choice. If hungry and nearby, I happily recommend. 4.6 out of 5

As for the food, the chicken and pork katsu were both breaded nicely and the meat was tender and not too dry. I did wish they used the regular "brown katsu" sauce that you might get at other restaurants (such as ono-hawaiian bbq). I didn't really like the two sauces they gave you cuz I felt they were too creamy for the meal. The macaroni salad was also more on the sour side. I think the meal requires something sour or acidic to cut up the heaviness, but I think that's what the kimchi and pickled jalapenos are for. I would prefer the macaroni salad to be less sour. Overall I think it's good value for the price but I don't think the flavors are for my taste.
