I've passed by this place a couple times and seeing how there's always people inside ordering I decided to try it myself. Ordered the katsu sando and the egg salad sando. Both were delicious in their own way. The egg salad sando was fresh and very well seasoned with dill. The katsu sando was warm and crunchy, very satisfying to bite into. Each were a great portion on its own. Enjoyed both very much.

Curry Katsu Plate

Kind Employees and Curry Katsu Plate!! I got the Curry Katsu Plate and the Sausage Rice Cake. The Curry Katsu Plate came with Katsu (I chose pork), Macaroni Salad, Salad, Salad Dressing, Rice, and Curry. The Katsu, Curry, and Rice tasted great! The Macaroni Salad was the type of Macaroni Salad that came with bits of cabbage (I'm not sure if it's cabbage, but it just came with some sort of vegetable). It's not the typical Macaroni Salad you get at K-BBQ restaurants. The Salad and Salad Dressing was good, it was just Arugula salad. The Curry Katsu Plate comes in a flimsy tray. You can't really take it out of the box without the tray automatically dipping due to the weight of the food items. It's kind of inconvenient to eat out of if you wanted to get rid of the box. I just ripped the top part of the box and ate as is. The Sausage Rice Cake looked good from the photo on the menu. It came in a pretty small cup for $10, but I was willing to excuse it if the Sausage Rice Cake was good. The Rice Cakes tasted great, the sauce isn't too spicy, and it had the nice crispy texture. The Sausage was just hotdog texture, I thought they would maybe cook the Sausage so that there would be a bit of crisp on the edges. It just had the texture as if you microwaved a hotdog and cut it up and mixed it with the rice cakes. The employees were kind. I didn't really talk to them because I ordered through the self-order screen, but they were happy to give us napkins. The restaurant is very clean, and there's plenty of seating. There's a self-order screen near the register which is nice. Parking can be a bit hectic since there's a ton of businesses in the same plaza, but the walk isn't too bad. I would come here again, I'm curious about some of the menu items, and the food is pretty good.

Curry Katsu Plate

I know this is a chain and they're known for their sandwiches--but can we talk about the katsu curry?! Feel like you can't have a good katsu joint without good katsu curry and this place is excellent for that! 4 spice levels. Medium gets the job done for me but no spice is also tasty for the less adventurous. The place is usually a little empty and their self ordering system doesn't match the menu. Still, this place is great for katsu dishes both in restaurant and for delivery. Definitely also recommend the katsu curry udon!

Chicken Curry Katsu Plate

New Katsu place that recently opened up. You order at the counter on a kiosk. The kiosk was a bit non-user friendly but there was someone behind the counter to figure out where we got ourselves stuck (SIZE even when a drink only comes one size!). After that they bring the food to your table, and served on plates, not plastic. When ordering items with Curry, you have the option of no spice and then levels 1 thru 4. I chose level.1 and it was perfect. My friend chose level 2 and was happy as well. I ordered the Chicken Katsu Curry plate and my friend ordered the Pork. Both were very good with sides of rice, salad, and macaroni. Portions were generous and they have daily specials that are very good deals! Drinks were self serve soda machine. Small place inside but there are tables for 2 or 4 people. There are any tables outside. We arrived when they opened at 11am. No otger patrons yet. There were people coming as we were leaving. Several parties and now a line with that pesky ordering kiosk! Now that I know how to use the kiosk I would come back but it is a bit impersonal and off putting as a first impression. They should also have more than one kiosk.

Finally -- a katsu specialty spot in SoCal! Tried Kajubar today and it totally hit the spot. They've got katsu rice bowls, udon, sandwiches -- and even my favorite Asian-style egg salad sandwich Also tried the katsu sandwich -- soft, crispy, so good! The beef katsu was fresh and came with macaroni salad. The little one loved it Best part? $11.99 weekday deal and BOGO Thursdays -- great value for busy days when you still want quality comfort food IG : socalhkfoodies

Since discovering Katsu Bar last year, we've been huge fans of this small chain for their consistency, diverse menu, and of course the affordable prices/deals!!! The Cerritos location is very casual, no frills--the perfect hangout spot for you and your friends! We ordered and got our food super quick! Portions are generous and each of the different types of katsu comes out so crispy and delicious. My favorite has to be the shrimp katsu curry plate and egg sando. Curry has a nice spice to it! And the plate even comes with a small side of salad and rice. We'll always swing by Katsu Bar for a reliable, feel-good meal

I had a katsu sandwich at a food festival a while back and have been craving it since, so saying that I was excited to hear Katsu Bar sold sandwiches is an understatement. I ordered the rosemary katsu sando, which I believe is the most popular sandwich. I thought it was really enjoyable; I loved the contrast of the softness of the bread with the crispness of the chicken. Flavor wise, it was good but I felt like it was missing something...possibly spice? It also came with a side of waffle fries (which in my opinion, are the superior shape of fries) and they were perfectly delicious and crispy. The portion sizes here are pretty good and prices are fair. Service here was pretty limited as you order on a kiosk and seat yourself. The ambiance is casual but clean. It's located in a large plaza that can get busy, so you may have to park further away, but should find a spot in the lot.

Strawberry sando
Jason S.

We went for dinner last week. Thre is a lot of parking available. The restaurant itself is small but charming. And the service was wonderful. We ordered Fountain drinks and love that they have Stubborn Sodas. That is easily my favorite soda brand. We ordered two sandos. We got the iconic egg salad sando. The egg salad is so rich and delicious. The bread perfectly holds this sando together. We also got a Portobello katsu sando. I love Portobello mushrooms and having them deep fried made it even tastier. The arugula salad and balsamic dressing pairs perfectly in this sando. Both sandos are highly recommended to get. For our mains we got a kimchi dumpling curry. A generous portion of kimchi dumplings over rice with curry and three types of salads. You get a macaroni salad, an arugula salad and tsukemono. All of the salads were delicious. The dumplings were crispy on the outside and filled with kimchi on the inside. We also got a katsu curry udon. The udon noodles are cooked perfectly. The katsu is crispy on the outside and the chicken was soft and juicy on the inside. The curry brings it all together. Both of these curry dishes are a must have. We finished with a strawberry sando. A massive sanso filled with fresh strawberries and a subtlety sweet whipped cream. It was amazing and I am already thinking about another one. We had a wonderful dinner and look forward to coming back again soon.

Katsu chicken burger with waffle fries and tempura shrimp side.

Standard walk up restaurant but only kiosk ordering. Older family behind us couldn't operate it though. Found daily specials hidden at very bottom of slide menu. Ordered Katsu chicken burger with waffle fries & side of tempura shrimp with ginger lemonade. Huge chicken patty and berry katsu sauce was unique and delicious .

We were craving katsu and happened to be at Cerritos Mall so we hopped on Yelp for recommendations. Fortunately, this casual, counter service place was right across the street. Our favorite savory dish here is the tteokbokki w/ (pork) katsu which had a slight kick in flavor. I say slight because I have a high tolerance for spicy foods so order at your own discretion.

I came to this spot during my lunchtime at work after having looked at there menu. I have been craving a katsu sando and it was definitely worth stopping by. The food options look delicious and my food was so! Service was quick and the workers are jovial. While I ordered to go, I wouldn't mind eating there.

I've heard of katsu bar and seen it recommended to me a couple of times and decided to give it a try. I've been looking for a katsu place and I wasn't disappointed! The prices were amazing for the amount of food you get. Service was great and I would definitely come back!

Chicken katsu curry plate . Good curry.
Glen M.

Was really looking forward to this place based on the pictures. I'm a big katsu fan (my wife makes a GREAT one) and we were automobile shopping in the Cerritos Auto Square. First, this center is very popular. People (most of them) drive slowly through the lot waiting to catch someone pulling out from their parking spot. Lots of businesses in here. Katsu Bar does not have the normal cashier waiting to greet you. Yes, the staff does greet you when you arrive (and when you leave). Instead, there's a kiosk waiting for you. It confused us at first, showing the curry katsu plate we wanted was "out of stock". When I asked the person prepping food behind the counter she said, "Oh, just scroll down." She was right, the katsu plate was listed again as available. Kind of odd. My wife had that plate and was impressed with the curry sauce. She picked the chicken and mild curry and would order it again. I had the Friday special, a katsu sandwich and waffle fries. Nice sized sandwich. I picked the pork and it was a little tough. If you are thinking of this sandwich, I would suggest the chicken. It was a handful to eat, the slaw / pickle topping was very messy (and had a little bit of a kick). The waffle fries were okay but not as good as Chick-Fil-A. ;) They have a serve yourself fountain drink but not the standard Coke or Pepsi. For me, just okay and the selection I picked streamed on my hand as well as into my cup. :( Unisex bathroom with a very unusual lock. You'll see if you need to use it. Also, no paper to dry your hands, just one of those air dry hand dryers. Overall, I'd give it 3/5 but my wife thought 4/5. But, this is my Yelp page so...If you like chicken katsu and you like curry, give it a try. Enjoy!

It's difficult to decipher the menu. It looks like there are vegetarian options, but they aren't clearly marked. Can someone confirm?

Yes we do have vegetarian options. When you select your item; sandos, sandwiches, salad, etc. it will prompt you to select your protein choice. We have a portobello katsu for vegetarians. We also have a portobello mushroom katsu sandwich that… Read more

I love the concept but the protein isn't specified on the menu. Is the Katsu chicken or pork?

There is an option that u can pick between the two!

However, it's perfect for date night or a hangout with friends or family. I would say you could bring a larger party but it would take up multiple tables. The waitress we had was nice and helpful. I could see there being an issue with longer waits if you come during a busy time or they may be short-staffed as only one waitress was around at the time. It took some time to get our orders out but was not a dealbreaker. Food is exceptional quality. The spicy green curry ramen is so delicious. Tastes like you're actually eating curry in ramen form! The shoyu is my husband's go-to. He loves it here and especially loved my garlic chips on top of my ramen. Adding the chili is a must for spice lovers!

Quiet ramen place near the Artesia 99 ranch…read more Went for a quick lunch - plenty of parking at the plaza (though don't park right next to the 99 ranch - it does get pretty crazy). Went inside and was immediately seated. They have a lunch special where you get either a free drink or miso soup with your meal. I ended up ordering the black garlic tonkatsu ramen and added an egg, with a miso soup. The miso soup came fairly quickly, but was pretty salty - think I had to drink about half my water glass after it. The ramen came a little bit afterwards - the broth was ok, it didn't feel rich enough with pork flavor and also was a little salty. The noodles were just ok also. I think the best part was the egg and chashu. The egg was well made and tasty, while the chashu is a bit more on the meaty side vs fatty side (which I prefer). They do only give you two pieces though. The price overall wasn't bad for ramen but I think the saltiness was a bit too much for my taste. They do have other things like curry that look pretty good, perhaps that would be the order if I end up here again.

We opted to get the vermicelli noodles instead of the white rice. The pot took around 10-15 minutes to arrive. The server lit up the pot for us. It was loaded with plenty of kimchi and plenty of meat and seafood like shrimp, fish balls, imitation crab, and tofu. The flavor of the broth was decently strong, not the spiciest I've had but not the weakest. It was quite filling for the both of us and adding the noodles towards the end helped fill up the pot overall. The interior of the restaurant has plenty of seating with booths and tables. Service was friendly and helpful. Overall it's a decent spot for hot pot with friends and family with plenty of broth options to choose from and add ons as well.

Chinese hot pot has a variety of options for sauce whereas this one is about clean fresh ingredients. I ate several orders of the thinly sliced salmon plus the sashimi plate.

Careful with his movements in collecting dishes, checking in at the right time, patient at explaining anything. And I'm short so he bent down and looked me in the eye when talking to me. I'm old but young ladies this man was adorable and I hope you get him as your server bc he had a comforting voice and gentle eyes. I could talk to him all day lol but the food is good too. Will be back if I'm in the area again and looking to splurge.

After we graduated, we promised to have a little reunion here as adults when we were old enough to drink. This little reunion happened recently. My little sister, who is 17, knew I was meeting my friends for dinner and asked if she could come. Since I knew we would be drinking, I called the restaurant ahead of time to ask if she could sit with us since she wouldn't be drinking. They said no. If we were drinking, she couldn't be there. I thought it was unfortunate, but I told my sister she couldn't come to dinner with us. But what was really annoying is that after we ordered alcohol, our server didn't card us. I went out of my way to uninvite my sister because they said she couldn't be there, and they didn't even check. I thought it was a dumb rule in the first place, but it was really annoying that they didn't even enforce it after I went out of my way to ask. The pork belly skewers were really good. I can see why we used to come all the time as kids. Smoky and crispy. There's a big super traditional looking grill at the front of the restaurant, so I guess they're super serious about their skewers. The okonomiyaki was good too. We decided to try the rose tteokbokki since it was a new menu item, but we were unimpressed. There were barely any toppings inside. We also got the steamed squid, but I thought it was a bit overcooked. We might've stayed a little longer, but the sight of a cockroach climbing on our table sent a chill down our spines. We told a server that we saw a cockroach, but she just stared at us blankly and walked away without doing anything. After that, we had serious issues about the perceived cleanliness of the restaurant and left immediately.  I'm disappointed. In the end, I didn't get the warm and fuzzy nostalgic feeling I was yearning for. I think there were several interactions with the workers that they could have handled better. I cleared my little side quest, so I don't think I have a reason to ever return.
