Katsuya is on Richmond Row. I recently tried a place with Katsu in the name, also on Richmond Row. The first place was unintentional, as I meant to order from Katsuya. Now that I have, I'm glad that I know which is which!
I wasn't yet feeling confident enough to dine in, so I picked up take-out for two. The order was ready quickly, and at the promised time. Bonus: Katsuya had a relay going with all their other locations. If you ordered from Location A on any of three days, you got 30% off the chicken katsu meal (only the regular chicken katsu, none of the specialty options). That means that if you are particularly mobile and really like their food, then you could visit each location on their designated relay days to get a great deal! Not sure how often they run this relay, but it's such a great idea that I highly recommend that they do it every month.
Seating options include tables and one banquette. Nice décor, so I would happily dine in when the world is in better shape.
Diners have a choice of pork or chicken katsu. All the meals include miso soup, white rice, cabbage slaw, pickled daikon and a very large piece of katsu in a partitioned tray so that the foods don't mix. Plan on leftovers. My guest and I liked everything; I'm sure that it would be even better served hot in the resto. Both of us have extensive allergies and intolerances, which were accommodated.
Very happy that I ordered from the right resto, happy with our selections and looking forward to ordering from Katsuya again, whether at this location or another one. Run the yummy relay! read more
