We ordered a teriyaki chicken udon, a teriyaki chicken fried rice, and some crispy chicken rolls to share. Everything we ordered was SO good...and the quality of the food is outstanding. They exceeded all of our expectations. Service was very good and the staff was attentive to our needs. I would recommend that if you are in the area and craving Japanese food, stop in. I think you will be pleasantly surprised.

Good to get in before the lunch time and dinner time rush although they will always make fresh sushi packs for you if you ask! Food is always fresh and a great value for price. My favourite is the lunch pack with 4 pieces of sushi and donburi, always get double mayo for your dressing!!! A nice place to eat and always excellent quality!

3.5 stars. And I'll tell you why. I was looking for some Japanese food around town so Katsubi was a…read moreplace on the yelp map I saw. I was hungry for some katsu, coming from Hawaii I haven't had Chicken Katsu with Rice in awhile. And I noticed they were one of the few places opened after 6pm. Japanese restaurants in my experience make good chicken katsu, which is usually served in a bento with fresh cabbage and lots of Tonkatsu sauce. I love bentos, so I ordered a $22 chicken katsu bento that's right a $22 chicken katsu bento. The quantity was enough to make me full but I thought it was pricey for katsu. Also I noticed that they had Asahi beer stocked, but when I asked for an Echigo beer, the waitress looked at me clueless like,"what? Huh?" And then the other waitress told my wife," ohh we're not Japanese, we're Chinese." Which kinda poked a needle in my joy balloon. When the bentos came, the katsu was ok, didn't come with enough katsu sauce for all of the katsu, and the cabbage tasted funny as it didn't seem fresh, and the rice portion they gave was small. It was an overpriced meal for ok quality, but I noticed that they do have $10 donburis with teriyaki chicken. But I'm not a fan of teriyaki. Though my meal was ok, the restaurant itself gets points for cleanliness and space. It looks like a Japanese restaurant but run by Chinese workers? Idk. Maybe I'm too harsh but give me more rice for $22 lol. I could get the same meal for $5 at home from L&L mini plate. Sorry.

Great sushi. Fresh Salmon! Yum. Lack lustre customer service, but the sushi made up for it.

The orders come with free miso soup ( yay free) and it's pretty good too, which is a super bonus. There are also a lot of hot asian foods available that are on offer like spicy ramen, udon, and teriyaki and rice dishes. We ordered the chicken teriyaki bento and pork katsu bento boxes and then also got a couple of one off rolls like the avocado and salmon, katsu roll, shrimp tempura roll and a couple more. All of them were really satisfying and the bento boxes were really generously portioned and good. It was big enough to share with my husband and we really enjoyed them. The bentos included a variety of foods like rice, the teriyaki, a veggie fritter, some sushi rolls, among some other foods we were able to try. The manager told us that the bentos change seasonally and in the summer they have fresh fruit and salads too. The owners were really friendly and had great service. I would definitely recommend a visit if you are in the area or even a bit away. We drove by from Tauranga and it was worth the drive.
