Overall, this place is pretty good. They're still new so expect some "hiccups." Ordered the curry katsu plate with extra katsu. Was not given rice even though it clearly is written on the menu signs that each plate comes with "white rice, side salad, macaroni, and Korean radish." Was told by the girl working that the plate doesn't come with rice and "if I was sure the rice wasn't under the katsu." I had to show her the menu and she had to go to the owner to ask for clarification. The owner was really apologetic and friendly about it and gave me a bowl of rice on the side. The ambiance of this quick service restaurant is clean, modern, and a nice environment to enjoy your food. There's street parking and a parking garage. This place is good--just be patient since they just opened! read more

Not sure when this place opened but I've been waiting so long to try this restaurant. My high expectations were not disappointed. Food: I got the rosemary pork katsu sando with spicy mayo and waffle fries. There was Tuesday deal going on that made the price $13 instead of $14.50. Absolutely loved it! The bread was super soft and pillowy and the pork katsu was juicy and flavorful with the spicy mayo. Also ordered the pork katsu curry with curry on the side. This was also super yummy and came with salad and radish on the side. There's parking in the parking garage to the left of the restaurant and street parking. Service: service was quick and fast. There's a self-order kiosk or you can order with a worker. Ambiance: very modern environment with plenty of seating on both sides of the restaurant. The poke bar isn't open yet but I genuinely recommend coming here if you're looking for yummy katsu. read more

All the sandwiches were really delicious, especially the strawberry sando (the cream was to die for). The sandos are really filling because they're packed with ingredients, which does make it a bit messy to eat. The waffle fries were standard as well, which means they were good. I've never met a waffle fry that I didn't like. My only qualm is that it was quite pricey for what it is. read more

Came with my partner to the best ramen in LA and wasn't disappointed. I've been to Katsu Bar before with old management but to our surprise, new management had taken over this week and wasn't disappointed. Tried to order the black garlic katsu ramen but it showed as out of stock. I asked one of the chefs and he went out of his way to check their inventory room and found some for me and my partner. Ambiance and chefs made it very cozy on a cold December night. Definitely will continue to come back. The chef was very welcoming and even gave us a free appetizer to try their new menu and it was amazing. Can't recommend this place enough. read more

I ordered a chicken katsu plate online, but the app glitched, so I went to the store to see if the order actually went through. The worker there was super nice and helped me place a new one, and he even offered to make it really quick since I'd already tried ordering earlier. It was also my first time trying their curry, and I was a little nervous, but I ended up loving it. I ordered this a few days ago and still haven't stopped thinking about it. The chicken was perfectly crispy, the curry was delicious, and the radish and cabbage with each bite were so good. The pasta on the side wasn't anything special, I just picked at it, but everything else? Amazing. I'm definitely going back soon for another plate. Easily the best thing I've had from their menu! read more

Me, my partner and sister in law decided to check the place out after driving by a couple time and craving. If you prefer chicken over beef then I would recommend this place to try. Most of the menu is chicken based. The service was fast as we ordered ourselves thru the kiosk and food came out around 10 mins later. The vibe at the time was chill as the shop was about an hour in a half till closing but still with people coming in to order and music was still playing. We ordered a couple dishes and sides to go together, and overall everything was delicious. Totally going back to explore the rest of the menu. read more

Katsu Bar - Katsu Rice Bowl up front. Pork Katsu Plate at the back. Korean Gang Jung (Tender bites) in the middle. - Japanese Curry Near Me - Glendale, California

I visited this place and the lady at front didn't even acknowledge me she was glued to her phone when I finally got her attention she seemed upset as if I interrupted her worst customer service she pointed to the kiosk the worst part of this was the guy making my food he was making the order at the same time he was on his phone eating fries and the hand he had his glove on he kept using it to put his hand on his mouth to eat and to put his phone in his pocket very unhygienic and unsanitary least to say I won't be coming back the food is good but not worth the wait did I mention I almost waited 40 mins all because the gentleman was busy in his phone and the cashier was busy on her phone read more

Katsubar's new Glendale location is a hidden gem! They're together in the same space as Pokebar but there was a sign out side too. The katsu here is crispy, fresh, and flavorful. The portion sizes were generous. I had a lot of appetizers, all are very good. The staff is friendly, and the atmosphere is casual and welcoming. Park in Orange garage (1.5hr - I parked here) or the business garage (1hr). read more

Very good food. They have self serve screens to order your food and drinks. Hubby tried their katsu udon with chicken and I ordered the tteokbokki with cheese and egg.... Yummm!! We also ordered their calamari with their aoli sauce ..., it is highly recommended!! They have daily specials for dine in only. We will definitely come back to try other dishes. read more

Food itself is good but service is terrible. They seem to be very short staffed everywhere or else their workflow system needs work. If you order at the counter, be prepared to wait for a long time to get your food. Also don't order on Yelp, they don't check for orders there as well. The food itself is what keeps us returning but the poor service is starting to wear thin. read more

Great food and friendly service! We got the fish katsu sandwich and the rosemary katsu sando, both with waffle fries, and they were soo good!! Thank you! read more

This place is pretty bomb. Tried it out on a whim and was satisfied. The fries were a tad overcooked for my liking but still tasty. read more

Overall, it was average. They can be better. We had orders of katsu plate $16, curry katsu $16, and cheese katsu with curry $17. As a fan of katsu, the breading and frying was good. The breading is not Japanese panko style, however, the oil seemed fresh. It was not greasy. The meat was very thin, paper thin. And size reference, no bigger than a typical sized hand. At least the katsu sauce is not gross, like Korean places. This was more ketchup based and it was tangy. Still, katsu sauce should be based on Worcester sauce and soy sauce. The plate comes with a side of salad green, steamed rice, scoop of macaroni salad, and pickled radish. The rice almost filled the plate, therefore mixing curry on the rice was like having two meals. The curry was not bad at all. After ordering, we noticed they had a weekday, daily specials, each day a different meal which comes with a drink for $13. Might come back on a Thursday for spicy rice cake and katsu or Thursday for katsu burger. The inside is open, dining areas on either side of the counter. There is a fountain drink machine. The place is clean. Great place for kids. read more

Got postmates from here and my sandwich was decent. The tiramisu, however, tasted exactly like mold (don't ask how I know). I didn't see any mold on it so maybe it was just a flavor thing, but either way, can't recommend it. read more

Chicken Katsu is a very good quality, quality chicken, quality crispy flavorful crust and refreshing side salad. I would eat here again!

Interior - Interior is clean and big. The restaurant design is simple modern but maybe because it's more of my personal taste, I thought it was really cute. Customer Service - As soon as I walked in, I was greeted by multiple employees at once quite enthusiastically. I'm so used to most restaurants being pretty quiet and in some cases, service is pretty much non existent so I thought this was nice. They have a wide variety of items in their menu and they were really helpful with answering questions. Everyone was just really sweet overall. They do have two kiosks in the front if you don't want to interact with anyone too. Food - This wasn't my first time here but I ordered the medium build your own poke bowl and I was pleasantly surprised. It doesn't look much at first glance but when i mixed it, they actually gave me a generous amount of salmon and rice. Sauces (spicy mayo and sweet chili) were delicious as well. Parking - Now, parking was slightly confusing at first. There is no back lot or anything but rather a small public parking lot down the street that you do have to pay for. It's not a huge deal but because other business do share the parking lot, during certain times of the day, all spaces will be filled up. read more

The food was good, but all of the tables were dirty. Literally, every single table had spilt food on it. We didn't notice how messy the place was until after we ordered our food and we tried to find a table to sit at. It made me wonder what must the kitchen look like There were only 2 people working that I could see. Someone needs to take a clean rag to those tables. read more

Food was horrible and I ordered something so simple. I got egg sando and fries and the bread of the egg sando was stale and the fries was so hard like you weren't able to chew it, no potato at all. Waste of money. Really disappointed read more

The food is solid. Good and quick Katsu and curry. Great weekly specials and service is good. Super nice and quick. Big portions and like how they also poke and some sweets. read more

Food is delicious!!! Katsu is a bit heavy so don't recommend before the gym, but they also have poke! Definitely have the garlic udon katsu!! It's packed with flavor! The staff are super friendly and helpful too!!! read more

Boy oh boy oh boy...... I love me some katsu. I had visited the Katsu Bar in Korea Town before so this was a nice surprise as this is much much closer to me. Also to clarify this was a delivery order so I have no idea what it looks like inside. But I'm guessing it looks similar to the one in Korea Town. BUT I could be totally wrong as well. Lol I got their tteokbokki with an added Katsuncuz it was a really good deal and their Katsu is delicious! The tteokbokki was decent... But the texture of the tteok was lacking but the flavor was good. The only thing that it was missing was the spiciness as this was completely mild. I also got their egg sandwich as I LOVE their egg sandwiches. And this did not disappoint. It was sooooo good and the bread was so soft and delicious. I also got their tteok and sausage dish which was reminiscent of the tteok and sausage skewers that they sell on the streets in Korea. It was really really really good. This was my favorite thing out of all three dishes that I got this time around. I will definitely order from here again and if I ever get a chance, I would love to go there in person. read more

The food was so yummy and very sweet accommodating service :p! Would recommend if you want great katsu !

Great and yummy food, fast service! Would for sure go back again. A good go to sandwich is the Baja sandwich.

I came here once before and thought the food was pretty good so I decided to bring the family to give it a try. The lady at the register barely looked up and just pointed to the self order computer. I told her we have some questions regarding the bowl menu and she just rudely said "it's a bowl with rice and chicken in it. I don't know what else to tell you" and went back to doing whatever she was doing before. We walked out and she didn't say a word to us The food is promising but not so good that I would tolerate rudeness. Hopefully the owners will see the importance of customer service read more

This place has been so great every time I go. Place is always clean, you can order on the computer, service was excellent as they provide your food to you if you're dining in, and the quality of the food is excellent! Ever since coming back from Japan, I've missed a good Sando. Here, all the katsu in the Sandos stay crispy and fresh. You can also choose your choice of chicken, pork, beef, or portobello mushroom katsu!! I personally like the rosemary katsu sando, it's definitely a classic sando. What I really appreciate too is they have a special for every weekday, so you can get one of their most popular items for a discounted price depending on which day you go. Highly highly recommend if you're looking for something lowkey like sandwiches, delicious, fairly priced, and flavorful! read more

I saw this place while walking in Glendale, and came in based on the deals advertised outside. It was more delicious than I could have imagined. Amazing food at a fantastic value price point. I am writing this review minutes after finishing my meal here, because I felt it more than deserves the praise in this review. I got an Apple Chili Katsu Sandwich, it was one of the best katsu dishes I have ever had. I will be back soon, recommending this place to my friends, and most likely coming back later this week for one of the Daily Specials on offer. I would highly recommend for anyone wanting quick, high quality Japanese food at a value price, 10/10 read more

Came here in search of some hearty food to nurse a hangover, and man did this place deliver. The rosemary chicken katsu sandwich was delicious and the chicken was perfectly cooked, tender and moist inside with a nice crispy crust. We got the berry katsu sauce on it which was delicious. Do yourself a favor and get a side of curry to dip it in and you're in for a good time. Haven't tried anything else on the menu but I'm looking forward to coming back! read more
