This place is amazing!! I got off work early and was craving something yummy and this was the place! Good portions and create food! I left feeling full and ready to take on the rest of my day!!! I even brought my husband home a sando! read more

I've been to the Katsu Bar in Irvine, and I enjoyed the food so much that I had to come back. Parking: Free parking lot. They're located in a high foot traffic plaza, so finding a spot can be a hit or miss. Ambiance/Environment: They have a small indoor space with a decent amount of indoor seating. Very casual and chill. I visited on a weekday, so it wasn't too busy. Service: I was greeted right when I entered. She asked if I had any questions and offered help. There's two self ordering kiosks. You can also order takeout. Throughput took a little over 10 minutes. Food: I ordered the Rosemary Chicken Katsu Sando with baja chipotle sauce and waffle fries. Their sandos are my favorite menu items. Perfect for lunch. The chicken katsu was fried and seasoned deliciously. The bread was milky and light. The waffle fries tasted as expected. My only tip is try to eat the sandos asap. Otherwise the bread might get too soft. I really wanted the strawberry sandos for dessert, but they were out of stock that day. Highly recommend trying the sandos! Pricing: They have daily deals at an extremely affordable price. Honestly everything on their menu is worth its price. Will definitely be visiting this small chain again! read more

Shared parking lot with several restaurants & businesses. Casual ambiance. We ordered on the iPad at the counter and sat down a few minutes to wait for our food. Service was appropriate. I went with the fish katsu curry, hubby got the chicken katsu curry. Nice crunch outside, both protein types cooked appropriately. I preferred the fish, the texture was slightly softer/flaky as expected for fish. There's a little extra charge for spice levels. Good flavor curry, I wish there was a little more curry sauce, I do like to slather my rice :D lol! The mac salad and pickled veggies also good. Comparable price point to other curry places with the serving size. It's solid enough for me to return :) I also liked the egg salad sandwich, bread is nice and soft, egg salad is not drenched w mayo, very good egg ratio, I tasted a small hint of lemon, nice little snacker. The Korean Gangjung chicken tenders soy garlic had a nice flavor as well, a sweet and salty sticky glaze, chicken was cooked nice, not overly cooked, good chicken to batter coating ratio. read more

Stopped by for a quick lunch. It's located in the shopping complex where parking gets tricky. Service was quick and we ordered food at the counter via kiosk before we sat down. Sando was good, well prepared and tasted great. Curry plate was good as well. Flavors for both dishes were good. We ordered mild just in case not knowing the spice level. Once you order you cannot ask for spice on the side but they had other hot sauce. Overall it was a good place to get quick lunch on a weekday! read more

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. read more

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. read more

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! read more

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. read more

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 read more

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. read more

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. read more

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. read more

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! read more

Their main dishes taste fresh, hot, and amazing. Their chicken katsu sandwiches haven't disappointed whatever time I come in = the taste for their food is consistent regardless of time. Curry is good but I wish there was a spice level to it. I always get their rosemary katsu with a side. This time, the side I got was their kimchi dumpling and that was semi-disappointing, I personally would get something else. The food and service is pretty good. But what sucks is that, you have to ask them for condiments, utensils, napkins, etc... it just becomes inconvenient and would prefer like a self-serve. The ambiance is plain, there's only a few tables to sit at and there's nothing to look at lol. read more

Sad to see how this place has completely fallen off. Considering how expensive rent is in Cerritos, I wouldn't be surprised if they don't last much longer. I ordered the Portobello Katsu Sandwich with Waffle Fries. The sandwich comes with three slices that should each have mushroom inside. Two of the slices had some Portobello, but the last slice had almost nothing. One of the slices of toast was even broken and they still decided it was a good idea to use it, wtf? They literally took one mushroom, cut it into thirds, and tried to skimp by with the bare minimum. The only decent thing from this order were the waffle fries. In addition, the toast was old/stale and they didn't bother trimming the crusts either like they used to. What makes it worse is knowing they don't even bake the bread since they buy it bulk from 85°C. They just threw it together like a fast food chain would, except McDonald's would've actually been better and I'm not fond on eating fast food these days. TLDR: I got robbed $17.67 read more

We came in on a Sunday night, after placing our order online. Upon arrival we noticed a MESSY restaurant with dirty dishes. After a few minutes we realized that there was only ONE STAFF member cooking, taking orders and cleaning. How is that legal? I found out that woman had been working alone since 10am, we showed up at 8pm. it so inhumane to have someone doing everything alone. What a shame for the company to put that kind of stress on people, especially older people. Management needs to show support to their employees. Due to the lack of respect for their employees, I will not be coming back. Shout out to that older woman for providing great food even under the high amounts of stress. read more

It's been a while since I've dined here. This time I needed to take it to go and I thought my katsu might not be crispy but I was wrong. The food was great just like the service. Still the same little clean establishment as I remember but I feel like they added or changed the menu. I got the spicy level 1 curry pork katsu plate in a regular size. It was just the right amount of food. My only complaint is I wish they put more macaroni salad and pickled veggies in the plate cause they are both quite delicious. Even the dressing for the arugula salad was mighty tasty. read more

There was nothing wrong with the service or ambiance, but the katsu was not good! I wish I had better things to say. I don't know if I missed a disclaimer on the menu or something, but I thought I was ordering a beef katsu sandwich. What I got was a beef katsu burger -- essentially a ground beef patty covered in panko. If you give me an option of "beef katsu," I am going to expect a beef steak cutlet of some sort. Of course, for the price point, I wasn't expecting a prime slab of meat, but I definitely didn't think it was going to be ground beef! I feel like the menu did not distinguish this point enough. Just writing this review as a disclaimer so you aren't surprised. read more

Online it clearly says this place is open until 9pm. I showed up at 8:47pm (well before 9), and the girl at the front told me they were closed and that they "close every day at 8:30." So which is it? 8:30 or 9? Because your online hours say 9. It's frustrating to drive over somewhere expecting to grab food, only to be turned away before the posted closing time. If you close at 8:30, update your hours. If you close at 9, then stay open until 9. It's not complicated. Really disappointing experience and a waste of time. I hope management sees this and either fixes the hours online or makes sure staff are honoring them. read more

I came here last weekend after craving some Katsu (specifically a sando), and unfortunately it disappointed. I came around lunch time. When walking in, none of the workers greeted us. So we just walk up to the kiosk to order our food; while on the kiosk, none of the workers offered assistance or recommendations, almost as if they were trying to avoid eye contact. We ended up ordering the Original Katsu Sandwich and a Rosemary Pork Katsu Sando with the Berry Sauce. The Original Sandwich was bland and had no flavor. The Pork Sando was a little better, although not as moist as I would've preferred. The berry sauce was good for about two bites, but I got tired of the flavors really quickly. The service here was the nail in the coffin for me, or rather, lack of service. When they bring the food out, they didn't exchange a single word with us. Just came over to drop off the food and immediately left. We did end up asking them for utensils, so we could cut the sandwich, but the restaurant made it feel as if the employees go out of their way to avoid customer interaction. Even with the soda machine, we had to turn it on, even though the restaurant had been open for an hour. read more

Katsu Bar is known for their sando (Japanese sandwiches). However, I didn't come for those. Why? They seemed overpriced.
