The tonkatsu set here is outstanding. Perfectly golden, shatteringly crispy panko crust with the most juicy, tender pork inside -- you can see from the cut that it's cooked just right, still pink and succulent in the center. The portion is generous too. Loved the full set presentation on the wooden tray -- rice, miso soup, shredded cabbage salad with a creamy sesame dressing, and tonkatsu sauce on the side. Everything came out hot and fresh. This is the kind of katsu that makes you close your eyes on the first bite. Will definitely be back.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​ read more

Katsu Plate - Japanese Near Me - Bogota, New Jersey

Absolutely delicious! Hubby and I were looking for a nearby spot to have lunch today and we came across Katsu Plate. The owners are so sweet and the restaurant is clean, airy, and a modern space. They have been open for about a year now. We had the katsu plate which comes with rice, miso soup, Korean style coleslaw, tonkatsu, and chicken karrage. We also got the mentai cream udon to share. Both dishes were 10/10 soooooo yummy. I love the hint of spice the cream udon gives, it's a tiny kick that goes so well with the creamy sauce. The tonkatsu was very hearty and lightly breaded with thick cut pork, sooooo good. The prices are reasonable!!! They have a small menu, which I personally LOVE because you can tell they focus on the quality of the food. We're so glad we found this spot and will be returning! :) read more

Katsu Plate recently opened up down the street from my house. Over the weekend my girlfriend and I decided to enjoy the sun and walk over for lunch. The restaurant itself is fairly small. There's maybe 6 tables for 2-4 diners each. It's bright and clean with a pretty minimalist aesthetic. The menu is small as well but they do a great job with the dishes they do offer. You order at the counter and once your order is ready you can go pick it up at the counter as well. Service is quick and friendly. The pork katsu is cooked perfectly. It's breaded well and not greasy while staying super moist and flavorful. I had the sando while my girlfriend had the plate. The bread to katsu ratio for the sando was perfect and the slaw on top added some crunchy freshness. I also liked the mustard served on the side. My girlfriend seemed to enjoy her katsu plate. Rather than on bread the katsu is served with rice and tonkatsu sauce. The tonkatsu sauce is tangy and sweet, almost like a Japanese BBQ sauce of sorts. It goes really well with the pork. Since I'm a certified big back I also ordered Karaage Don for myself. It's essentially a Japanese fried chicken rice bowl. The fried chicken was cooked to perfection as well. It's hard for me to decide whether I enjoyed the chicken or pork more, they were both that good. The chicken was tender, juicy, and flavorful. It goes perfectly with the rice and sauce its served with. Prices are fair; you're not coming here to stretch your dollar. The food is great though and since I live down the street I'll likely be back. read more

I came (hungry), I saw (katsu), I conquered (the meal). I almost wanted to gatekeep this gem... but that wouldn't be very Yelpy of me ;) Katsu Plate has been open for just under a year, but has quickly become a local favorite for authentic Japanese tonkatsu (a breaded and deep fried pork cutlet)! It's a hole-in-the-wall restaurant located near Bogota's main street. The menu focuses on tonkatsu and is limited to 4-5 dishes, including a rotating seasonal item. So yes...there's only a few options to choose from, but each one is perfected! There's not much of an ambiance here; it's a no-frills eatery with a minimalistic and casual interior. There's also not a lot of seating available, so takeout might be a better option than dining in. But don't be fooled by the small menu and atmosphere... the food does not disappoint! I ordered: *Katsu Plate [Includes pork cutlet, white rice, miso soup, coleslaw, & katsu sauce] ($14) - First things first, let's get into the presentation. My meal was beautifully arranged on a bamboo tray with matte black plates and utensils. It was love at first sight AND first bite. Now, let's get into why this was so tasty... -The pork was cut into large, thick, tender, and flavorful pieces. -The breading was perfect! Not too thick, greasy, or oily. The panko breadcrumbs were deep fried to a golden-brown color with a satisfying crunch in every bite. -The tangy, sweet, & savory katsu sauce complemented the pork really well. -Miso soup was served piping hot and hit the spot without being overly salty. -Japanese coleslaw (shredded cabbage drizzled with sesame vinaigrette) was so simple, yet so fresh and addicting! *Side of Curry ($3) - Definitely order this with your tonkatsu! While it's tasty on its own, dipping the pork into it takes it to a whole new level of deliciousness~ The curry was thick and aromatic, cooked with a blend of warm spices, onions, potatoes, carrots, and chicken. If you're craving something packed with heat, this might not be up your alley because it's more savory & mild than spicy. *Calpico Soda ($3) - I washed down all that goodness with this Japanese soft drink made with carbonated water, sugar, and cultured nonfat dry milk. It's crisp, refreshing, and citrusy - like a fizzy version of a yogurt drink. Overall, I was impressed with my first visit and will definitely be returning. Don't sleep on this unassuming spot. Everything is made in-house and it shows in the presentation and the quality of the food. You can tell everything is crafted with care. Plus, the prices are reasonable and give you a great value for the portions! No more ripping my hair out in Fort Lee and Edgewater traffic just for some solid tonkatsu! Come get your porky fix and support this (not so) hidden gem in Bogota! read more

Katsu plate is small but has a good amount of seating. And the parking is street parking but not difficult at all! The service was very warm and friendly. I came here for a pickup order of the katsu plates, karaage, and curry! The katsu plate comes with rice salad and miso soup. Everything was delicious and they make sure you have all the sauces you need. I would definitely come back! read more

Limited menu, so expectations are high. They're close, but not quite there yet. The tonkatsu had good flavor but came out a bit soggy, which kept it from being a 5 star dish for me. Too much sauce. It would've been way better if some of it was on the side so the breading stayed crisp. I do like the minimal setup though. Small spot, limited seating and kind of a takeout feel, but it fits the concept. You can tell there's thought behind the menu it just needs a bit more dialing in. Overall it's decent, but if I'm really craving tonkatsu I'd probably go somewhere else. read more

Katsu is fantastic. It's not super crunchy but it is juicy and delicious. The Mentaiko Cream Udon is a must try. Though it is a cream dish, it still tastes pretty light. It's savory, umami and fresh. I will definitely go again. The workers were also very nice when I came in. I came in for a pickup order and greeted me warmly. It was also pretty packed. The decor is simple but feels inviting. read more

I didn't even know this place existed until I was scrolling through Yelp and was surprised to see a Korean restaurant opened in Bogota. So, I definitely had to check it out. My friend visited here a few weeks ago so she gave me a rundown of what she ate and shared what she thought about the food, so I knew what to expect. And that same friend was the one who went with his me this time. First of all, this restaurant stood out because the exterior looked much more modern and sleek compared to the exteriors of the other businesses on that street, so that was a nice surprise. And then, the food. My friend said that we must get the katsu plate and to add more umami to it, we got a side of curry to dip the katsu pieces into, which was good. We also got the mentaiko cream udon, which was delicious with a little kick to it. It seems like this is part of their fall menu, which means that this dish could be available only for the fall. But hopefully this something that they will continue to have. A few things to be aware of before you go: -Their menu is very simple with mainly katsu dishes and that's all they focus on, so don't expect an extensive menu. -It's metered and street parking. There's street parking to the side. -I heard that once they are sold out, they close for the day. So, if you are planning to go a little later, make sure to call and see what is available. -Seating is very limited so this is not a good place for big groups. They have 2 tables with 4 seats and 3 tables with 2 seats. read more

Katsu Plate - Menu as of 10/18/25 - Japanese Near Me - Bogota, New Jersey

When I saw that a new katsu place had opened up in my neighborhood, I was over the moon. Bogota is bereft of good Asian food and with katsu being one of my main food groups, I knew I had to give this spot a try. The offerings are slim and that's by design. The menu (and the small seating area) are optimized for quality, and it shows. Everything from the breadcrumbs to the broth for the miso soup are made in house between a dedicated two-person crew (one of which is the owner). The katsu cutlets are thick and meaty - not pounded super thin like other katsu places that try to cut costs. We were surprised that a deep-fried food could also taste so light and ungreasy. The cabbage salad was another delight. It feels silly to praise a side salad at a katsu restaurant, but that sesame dressing was exceptional. Along with the katsu-centric menu, there's a slot reserved for seasonal items. At the moment, it's a bowl of soba, which is a special summer favorite of mine. Here, the noodles are cooked perfectly and served in a refreshing dashi broth. I appreciated the dab of wasabi that was on the side of the bowl, available to mix in to each diner's taste. I can't wait to see what fall and winter items will be coming in next. We had a chance to chat with the owner, who was full of good cheer and eager to chat about his new restaurant. We not only left feeling completely stuffed but also like we'd made a new friend. If there's even a single downside to this place, it's that word's out. It's gotten so popular that they're sometimes sold out well before closing time. My husband and I were lucky enough to slip in through the door before they changed the sign to 'closed', but I saw a few disappointed faces at the door. So word to the wise: either get here fast or phone in your orders ahead of time, or I'll snag the last bites before you. read more

The katsu was cooked perfectly- crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. The breading was not greasy and the meat was seasoned just right. I also loved the attention to detail in the presentation. The house-made dressing for the cabbage and the homemade miso soup was very delicious and a good complement to the pork katsu. The prices were very reasonable for the quality. They also recently added soba to their menu so I will definitely go back to try it out soon! read more

This is a local spot next to me that is so good! The katsu is so well made and even when I got the katsu sandwich to go, it tasted great at home! Would definitely recommend a try! Parking here might be a struggle. But I'm glad to see some Asian food in Bogota! read more

A friend recommended this place. I am not a big fan of pork, but I wanted to try cold soba. I ended up ordering a Soba plate, which includes katsu and soba. It was good. The katsu didn't have the pork scent, which was a thumbs up. The soba noodle was thinner than what I had before. The place was clean. The plating was simple, yet I could tell she paid attention to its details. I would definitely return and recommend this restaurant to everyone. read more
