Solid Tonkatsu restaurant (albeit fusion korean, not Japanese) across burquitlam station. Priced between $16-22 (pre tax tip) depending on type of meat (loin tender fish cheese double cheese) and sauce (original carbonara garlic etc). Not cheap. Recommended (4/5), overall happy to have good Tonkatsu close to home You'll be greeted with "Hi Katsuya" when you arrive. Decor is fresh and brand spanking clean (nice smelling washroom). Still soft launch so not too many patrons yet. They use high (very good) quality meat (5/5): tried the Loin and Tender. Go with tender if you can. Sauces are generally strong: Red carbonara (3/5) - spicy, strong Italian style with bacon brocoli and shrimp. overpowering the meat when mixed together (plus more expensive) Original sauce (3/5) - fruit sauce a bit on the sweet side. not my style Spicy garlic sauce (4/5) - spicy, strong tasty sauce. perhaps non spicy is better, but really good better than red carbonara Japanese style sauce (3/5) - meh, not Japanese style. but this combo is cheapest Unlimited Miso (meh 2/5) and salad (3/5) Friend says meat with cheese is best, so will keep trying. Ps: this place is waaay better than Mr. Tonkatsu in Surrey!!! But not as good as Saku/ Kingyo authentic jap style tonkatsu read more

It tastes good, but I don't feel it's great since it's too pricy. (i think they raised the price now) It was like$19chesse katsu, $16regular katsu. I don't like to go there to have expensive deep fried pork- I would eat something else- read more

My first visit here was phenomenal. Incredible food and service. Everyone was so welcoming and kind. I got the Japanese pork tender katsu, hands down the best katsu I ever had. They serve huge portions and I love how you can see the bakery where they make their home made bread crumbs in store. Another favourite of mine was the free pickled cabbage appetizer and the takoyaki. My second visit here, although the food was still incredible, the service was horrendous. I was seated around a corner and was not checked on in over 10 minutes to get my order. I had to walk up to the front and mention I was ready. After I got my food, I had to again go up to the front and ask for more cabbage and soup (supposed to be free refills). Once I was finished my meal, I had to AGAIN go up to the front to ask to pay and for my bill. If it was one time, whatever, I'm patient. But THREE times me asking for service and not once being checked on? And no they were not busy and no my first experience was not like this haha. I hope they figure out whatever was going on because the food is incredible. My 4 stars is because my first visit was a 5/5 and second a 3/5. read more

Trying out this new Japanese Katsu place in Burquitlam. Portions are generous and it appears like they make their own breading. The breading is crispy and pork chop is meaty and juicy. If there's one thing that'll have me coming back is if they'd have lunch specials. Pricing for a set starts at around $15-20. Decent price for dinner but a tad much for lunch. read more

I don't have much visits to Katsu menus as I generally stay away from deep fried entrees. However this was an invitation from family. Overall I was impressed with the quality and selection of Katsu dishes. We ordered a Carbonara and red Carbonara Katsu, a pork tender original Katsu and a terry mayo pork Katsu. Although the price may be higher than a average, the portion more than makes up for it. The highlight is really the light crispy breading which is made in house. It is probably the best breading I have had. Restaurant is nice and clean. Servers is overall attentive and helpful. Recommended. read more

Katsuya has an extension selection of different types of cutlets (pork, chicken, fish, sweet potato, etc.) with different sauces (original, curry, carbonara, spicy, etc.). They also have some unique menu items like honey butter fries and crabmeat croquettes. Their portion sizes are large and as with many other tonkatsu places, it comes with unlimited cabbage and miso soup. In terms of the quality of tonkatsu, it is above average and reasonable for its price point but not at a premium taste like Saku or Mr. Tonkatsu. I say this because the batter/fried skin came apart from the meat while we were eating and the fried texture wasn't as light and crispy. Aside from this, it's still a good cutlet set at a great price. Full review and more pics on my blog: https://sincerelyloewe.com/katsuya/ read more

Katsuya is offering 30% for takeout using cash during the pandemic. Take your chance and support local business!!!!! Katsuya is not bad I would say, but saku is still better in my opinion and worth more the money since you get unlimited rice and cabbage. Nevertheless, it is quite good though I still love it. The original katsu is more worth it in my opinion. I would high recommend the original katsuya pork loin katsu. In my opinion, this is a 2 portion. So you can get one to share or save it for another time. Recommended to try and I would come back again to try its other menu!!! read more

My girls and I checked out Katsuya today. When you arrive they are still doing the temperature checks. Our server was extremely attentive. After you order (dine in) you receive unlimited miso soup and a cabbage side dish with jalapeño slices! They leave a bottle of salad dressing for your salad with your meal. If you are double vaccinated and have your card to show them, you receive a free pop! My daughter had the "Gold & Silver Katsu" is Katsu mixed with fresh Mozzarella cheese and the texture of Cheddar cheese. Each piece is wrapped with thin layer of pork loin I love spicy so I asked for the spiciest item on the menu! Garlic Spicy Katsu + Pork Loin is what I had, sauce is so yummy and not too spicy. Next time I come back I would have the sauce on the side as I couldn't finish and would heat up and our air fryer. The portions are BIG, about $18 each with rice and salad. We recommend!!!! read more

Randomly found this on yelp and decided to give it a try! I'm glad I did because it was a really nice find. They have many different types of pork katsu with different sauces. Everything on the menu is pretty much deep fried so don't come here if you're trying to be healthy. All sets come with unlimited miso soup and salad which is a nice bonus. Tip: If you can't eat spicy food, make sure to ask for regular mayo in place of their wasabi mayo. read more

This place is not too shabby. If you pay cash you get a 5% discount (to be confirmed by the shop) we ordered the curry, carbonara, and original pork cutlets. We got free miso soups and each dish comes with two bowls of rice( you have to ask for the second bowl). read more

To be honest I was a bit skeptical because usually any restaurant in coquitlam doesnt do well aside from a few gems. I came in here having already had saku in Vancouver and having some really good katsu on oahu. We ordered a few appetizers like the shrimp tartar and chicken karaage that was pretty good and very nice portions. The meal itself we had the brick cheese, cheese katsu with spicy carbonara and the sweet potato cheese katsu with teri mayo. All were very delicious and large portions. I'd have to say the miso soup was quite delicious as well. I'm happy to say that there is another go to spot in coquitlam and that says a lot for someone who is quite picky. Staff was nice, place was clean, food was good. Great stuff read more

Perfect deep fry croquettes, crispy outside and soft inside. Pork chop is great but I prefer no sauce read more

The service is great. The special set Katsuya menu is delicious. But the music is a little loud.

Located next to Burquitlam station, Katsuya is highly accessible. Food is clean and not oily like most katsus. They make their own bread crumbs too. Unlimited refills on rice, coleslaw and soup. I've been here several times and the standard is pretty consistent. Loin is not fatty and tender loin ain't dry like everywhere else, you really can't go wrong with any. I keep going back to the original Katsu sauce. Do give the sweet potato cheese katsu a try. It's unique here or a very Korean ingredient to add At times they shred the cabbage really fine and it's the best. Price is a tad high though and I understand why but that discourages me to have it every week. xD. I dare say it's one of the better places in BC. read more

Out of full discretion, I've, like countless others, have gone to saku before trying Katsuya and I've also grown up to cheap and good Korean tonkatsu dinners from Daeji - so I know the high end of Vancouver tonkatsu and I have an idea of acceptable budget end of tonkatsu. Katsuya is the 1st Vancouver restaurant out of a group of 5 where the 4 other stores are in Toronto. It's antics may work for Toronto but it just might not be enough for Vancouver. It shares the same freebies as Saku - unlimited side slaw and miso soup but in comparison, the miso soup is nothing special and the slaw is under seasoned. This service isnt actively offered like Saku so you got to really ask for it. What saku excels at and what katsuya doesnt seem to deliver is the ability to decide and determine your own sauces and dressing at the table. It's a tiny thing that makes a major difference in your meal experience. The tonkatsu itself is extremely underwhelming when you're paying 16+ for a meal. At first seeing our tonkatsu, we noticed that the portion itself is a tad smaller, albeit that the por k itself is very thick- too thick actually. They cut it up themselves before leaving the kitchen so you dont get a fork and knife even though you actually do need one due to the thickness. The thickness could have been avoided by the kitchen pounding the pork thinner when preparing it but maybe that's how they wanted it? All in all, katsuya felt like a hipster Korean older brother of Daeji that wants to copy Saku by presenting themselves with the same price point but underwhelming with their skill, quantity, and quality. Save your money and time and just go elsewhere. read more

It's a solid 3.5 stars. I wouldn't go out of my way to eat here, but if I lived in the area or was passing through, and felt like having tonkatsu then I would certainly stop by. Nice ambience. Service is friendly. Food comes out a bit slow when there is a lunch or dinner rush. The katsu looks huge but it is relatively thin. The chicken karage was ok, nothing special. I saw several people order the udon dishes. Definitely would try that next time. It was freezing cold outside, but they served us cold water to start. Shouldn't it have been warm barley tea or something similar? lol read more

First time going there for take out and we were all very pleased. Sampled some appetizers and got a pork cutlet with carbonara cream sauce to try something different. Next time I order I will go with the gravy as the cream sauce wasn't my taste, still everything was nicely breaded and delicious. read more

Food and service was ok. No complaints. However I was surprised when the price on the menu did not match our bill. Seemed like they had increased their prices but had forgotten to update the menu. The dishes were quite expensive to start with (though they do offer free refills for rice, miso, and cabbage) but it was almost an extra dollar on every item which kinda threw us off when we were trying to maintain a budget. They probably had just forgotten but They should at least inform their customers of this price change with a notice or something. I know it's just a few extra dollars but It does leave us with a negative impression like a dishonest business. I forgot to take a picture of my receipt .... read more

Went into this restaurant because we had a craving for okonomiyaki. Sadly, we could not scratch this itch despite their okonomiyaki-esque flavours. However, we did enjoy the flavours of the dishes we did order. We ordered the Cheesy Crab Croquettes and the Pork Tender Katsu in their original sauce to share. I was mildly content with the Katsu. The sauce had a tangy bite to it which was unique but the pork itself didn't wow me. The real star of today's meal were the croquettes. This creation is the love child of mozzarella sticks and crispy potato croquette mixed with bits of crab. To me, it was perfect and each flavour complimented the other. Crispy, tangy (from the tartar) and cheesy. Definitely would come back for more. read more

Great quality meat, crispy and tender Katsu I got the Original sauce with Pork Loin, the sauce is sweet with nice apple fragrance, perfect combination with the tender pork loin.

AMAZING! Just like japan! This place is similar to Saku in downtown. The pork was very fresh and crispy. Price wise was a bit expensive than other places but the portion was big. I highly recommend this place. I like their curry sauce! If you get the brick cheese make sure you ask for the curry sauce on the side ($3.5). read more

Awesome food and service every time I visit this restaurant! By far my favourite in the area.

Delicious katsu! Portion is also decent with lots of sauces options. Definitely one of my fav katsu place

The portions here are very good and the katsu is made really well. I got the cheese brick katsu, carbonara tender katsu as well as the honey butter fries. All the dishes were really tasty and the carbonara has a little bit of spice as well! I think the cheese brick katsu is definitely worth getting as they have limited quantities each day. The sauce that comes with it is also very fruity and sweet. Overall, I would recommend coming here and I'll definitely take my friends here in the future! read more

I love tonkatsu!! They make their own bread for the bread crumbs. It's not the best tonkatsu i have had, but i think it is pretty decent as the restaurant specializes in tonkatsu. My main issue is the price. It's a little too much for what I am willing to pay. read more
