We love Katsuya! Im my own opinion, it's a Korean take, on a Japanese classic. A tad bit different than "saku", but has all its own highlights and perks. It has more of a casual and homey feel which makes the food even more comforting when consumed. We tried a lot of different dishes, and they are all delicious. Fairly priced. Ample parking in this location, and service is friendly and quick. Never a disappointment! Know what to expect and know expectations will be met. Not very vegetarian friendly tho. So leave them at home. read more

Value isn't the best, but food was good and comparable to Saku. If you're going to spend that much money on katsu, might as well spend a bit more and go to Saku. Service met expectations. Ambience met expectations. read more

Location is great as it's right across burquitlam station and is a good alternative to Saku if there's a large waitlist. The restaurant itself was okay. It didn't feel particularly homey or comfortable sitting in to eat. Nothing inherently wrong with it but it just felt dated and not too special. The food itself is good but it's not as well balanced as Saku's flavours. Last time I came here, the rice accompanied by my set meal was soft and borderline mushy, so the consistency is really hit or miss here. The restaurant plays loud music and it isn't the most comfortable place to sit, eat and chat. Overall, it's alright. Price is a bit expensive for what you get (and no unlimited refills on salad, soup or rice (or none that I was ever made aware of)) but it does the job. I prefer Saku to here but it's still a good option to have in this area read more

I went here on April 1st to not miss $10 promo deal. It sounded too good to be true. In fact, the food itself was really good to be true especially price, portion and taste. The $10 deal was cash-only by selecting either original loin or Japanese loin. Food was pretty good! They always use fresh meat with housemade bread crumbs. Meats were big and tender. The server was working alone dealing with multiple tables. He forgot to bring a complementary miso soup, but brought shortly after reminding him. Miso soup was a bit salty. Food was good. Loved the salad as well. $10 deal was pretty decent. I really enjoyed my food at Katsuya. read more

Came for their 10 year anniversary promo - $10 for their japanese or original katsu set. We opted for the japanese because we don't like the katsu soaked in sauce. The size of the katsu was surprisingly big! The thickness is a big thinner than the japanese katsu places. The meat was a bit drier as well. I was not a fan of their cabbage salad dressing, which was soy sauce based as opposed to sesame based. The miso soup was really salty. Both made the set quite salty and needed to drink a lot of water. The rice was also soggy. The good thing was that the breading was fried really well. Quality-wise, it was not as good as Saku or Katu-san so charging the original price of $21.90 compared to $21.50 (Katsu-san) does not make sense. read more

Came here for lunch. They have a great lunch special on weekdays for $10.99, but those are limited to pork options. When we were told we could not substitute for another meat, we ordered something off the regular menu. The server seemed disappointed we were not ordering from the lunch menu - it seemed that it would be more convenient for the kitchen if everyone was ordering the same dish. We also ordered honey fries that were never served to us. Food was good; I appreciate the variety of options on the menu. read more

After a full day power outage, my friends and I stopped by for a late dinner. It was my first time at Katsuya and my friends second visit (although it had been a long time since their last visit apparently). I ordered the pork tender honey and it was so good! They make their own breadcrumbs in house and it resulted in a super crispy crunchy light bite. Generous portions as well, with unlimited miso soup, rice, and cabbage. I managed to eat half and grabbed a refill of rice to go with my leftovers. Easy parking in the plaza. read more

I'm so sad the other Katsuya location closed on Robson. That location was the first one that I ever went to. So we decided to go to the Coquitlam location even though it was a further drive. This location was located in a convenient plaza. I ordered my favorite, the Japanese Katsu. It is a traditional Japanese-style katsu with Worcestershire sauce mixed with various vegetables and fruits. I like being able to grind the sesame seeds with the miniature mortar and pestle. I put it on top of the sauce after grinding it. I love how it comes with unlimited refills of miso soup and cabbage salad. I think they changed it so you only get one refill of rice instead of unlimited rice, but I usually only get one anyways. The service was great. There is a discount when you pay with cash. I usually split one katsu set and it's enough for two. I will definitely be back whenever I am in Vancouver! read more

Went on a Friday night, service was great. Had the shrimp tartar, chicken karaage, and spicy onion katsu with pork loin. It was amazing!

Cute restaurant with plenty of seating. Decor is quite simplistic but just a nice casual eats spot. I got the special set and there is super value in this set! The pork katsu and the deep fried shrimps were super crispy and fried to perfection. The small udon was delicious. Would totally get again but it's only available weekdays during 12-4pm. Service was quick and easy and tbh didn't need much else while eating. Would come again! read more

Carbonara Katsu If you are stern about your carbonara this is not for you. It was delicious but definitely not your classic carbonara. I would call this more of a seafood katsu. I liked how creamy the sauce as but I think I would stick to a classic curry katsu for next time. I recommend coming but I don't recommend the carbonara katsu. Tip 1: if you dine in, you get unlimited refills on salad and miso soup! Tip 2: you get 30% off if you pay with cash (not sure if it still applies but its been going on for a while). read more

If you are looking for an affordable and quality restaurant, Katsuya is perfect for you. Their menu is not too big, but you know you are there for their famous deep fried pork cutlets. (They offer other protein choices as well) I ordered the Pork Cutlet in Carbonara sauce and my partner ordered that Udon in House special sauce (a cross between carbonara and Korean spicy sauce). The pork cutlet is of generous portion and it's good for two meals for me. The sauce is thick and creamy, but I could use a little more to go with my cutlet. read more

Katsuya really hits the spot when craving something hearty! I got the original chicken and it was really yummy. I'm not sure if they have unlimited salad and rice like saku because our server didn't mention anything but I think it is? The restaurant is nicely spaced out and comfortable to sit in read more

Was in the neighbourhood and decided to give it a try, as a slightly cheaper alternative to Saku. Due to covid we ordered take out, and we're really impressed by how the packed fried food held up. We got the original Katsu; and the white and gold brick cheese Katsu. Portions sizes were good here, and the Katsu was fried well and was still juicy and crispy when we got home! As always it was accompanied by cabbage slaw with a sesame dressing, miso soup, white rice, and pickles. Everything was delicious, and I love how generous they were with the cheese... the cheese pull was impressive!! The mozzarella has a better pull, but the cheddar I thought was tastier. The original Katsu doesn't come with tonkotsu sauce, but with their house sauce which was more like Japanese curry. The house sauce was okay, but I would've preferred it with tonkotsu sauce. Pro tip - unlike Saku they also let you order extra rice, salad, and soup on takeout orders. A good place to have Katsu, and we'll definitely be back again! read more

The Katsuya here is good quality and very tasty. It is not greasy and is very crispy. This isn't a place I'd visit more than once every few months due to the price. I think for the quality and quantity of the food it is an "okay" deal. Each katsu dish is $23-$29. If you're really into katsu then this could be your go to place. read more

@katsusan_van is a slightly more affordable alternative to Saku. Interior was well decorated and I love how they have a map of the world in there! Service was also super awesome!!! I would come back the next time I'm close by :) Gold & Silver Katsu - $22.75 -- mixed with fresh Mozzarella cheese and the texture of Cheddar cheese. If you like cheese, this is the way to go to get the best of both worlds!! Katsuya Original Chicken Cutlet-- $20.90 -- made with their house sauce made with over 5 seasonal fruits, 10 vegetables, and 6 organic herbs." Look at that crisp!! read more

I was very underwhelmed by my experience here. First, the service was terrible and absurdly slow. We were the only customers at the restaurant, and it took them so long to take our order, and even longer for the food to come out. The waitress only came by to take our order and drop off our food. She never checked up on us and we had to stand at the counter for the check. For reference, we had a party of 3 and spent 2 hours here. The menu looks diverse, but it is difficult to distinguish the difference between items because they don't have any descriptions. Example: Sweet chili, white snow chili, white snow spicy, garlic chili, garlic spicy. What is white snow, and what's the difference between chili and spicy? I asked the waitress and she couldn't explain it, either. Anyway, I ended up getting the Carbonara Katsu. The Katsu was soggy and not crispy at all. The meat was not juicy and lacked flavor. Although there was a ton of carbonara sauce, it was bland. Based on the poor service, mediocre food, and high price point, I would not recommend Katsuya nor would I come back. read more

amazing chicken katsu. I've ordered it with extra sauce. A bit pricy and had to wait 20 minutes for takeout. But for the amount of food you get it may well worth the price. read more

Katsuya - Katsu Menu Special set and Japanese Katsu (Chicken) - Japanese Near Me - Coquitlam, British Columbia

Katsuya @katsuya_canada offers a special discount 30% off for take-out with cash payment during the pandemic. We order 1. Double Cheese / Japanese Katsu set. The Double Cheese Katsu go well by itself or with the Japanese Tonkatsu sauce. It is half mozzarella and half cream cheese. The pork are crispy outside and tender inside. The green salad helps easing and balancing the taste. 2. Pork Tender/ Garlic Chili Katsu set. The pork are crispy outside and tender inside. (The sauces and garlic chips are packed separately) I just add the chili sauce and garlic chips to the pork katsu myself. The taste is not as heavy as the double cheese katsu. Each set comes with green salad, rice and soup. 3. Karaage Chicken Thigh (Yang-Nyeon Chicken) with Korean Sauce It comes with some potato chips. The sauce is korean spicy sauce which is quite spicy. You feel the after taste . For cheese lover, you probably want to go for Double Cheese Katsu set. Otherwise i think other Regular Katsu set are good as well. read more

I was looking for something good to eat after a nice walk at Rocky Point Park. I'm glad I called them beforehand because they were closing one hour earlier than posted on Google Maps. The restaurant is surprisingly larger than I expected. Tables were spread apart and there were two tables of customers when we got there. I got the original katsu with tenderloin and it was indeed quite tender. I asked for the sauce on the side and almost finished it all up. This came with unlimited miso soup and salad. The miso soup was fine, I've had better from Saku. The dressing went well with the salad. Perhaps because we were near closing time and also it's COVID, service was kind of sparse so it took a while to flag down a staff member for tea and the dressing. The staff were really friendly though and I had a good time. read more

Reopened with Covid measures in place, meaning less seating and a bit more of a wait time. But they're coving they're bases by providing takeout, hand sanitizer and employees wearing masks. The food: The menus are on the wall with no pictures, so you may need to rely on Yelp or google for an idea what the food looks like. We ordered the original katsu as well as the chicken karaage (1 lb) with Korean sauce. *Make note: that when you order a katsu set you get unlimited cabbage salad and miso soup and an additional bowl of rice, when you ask for it. * The katsu was breaded with house made bread crumbs (you can see the fresh bread in the racks in the back) and deep fried to golden perfection. Served with a creamy tomato based like sauce. The chicken karaage is boneless, crispy and super moist! You can change the flavours by adding the limes provided or dipping it in the sauces provided. Also comes with potato chips for more crunch. 5/5 would come back! Go on a weekday and go early or at a non typical time otherwise you're going to have to wait. read more
