Good quality, tastes great and freshly prepared Katsu. It's a cozy Japanese katsu restaurant, nicely decorated with traditional wooden themed and nicely maintained. Service is prompt and the server was friendly and helpful. We had the fish katsu and a chicken katsu (I liked the fish katsu better). The menu offers a variety of different options for sauces. Parking is convenient in the plaza's parking lot. read more

Katsuya is a traditional Japanese Katsu restaurant. They offer a free pop for yelpers if you check in! The food was incredibly fresh, served piping hot. The flavours were perfectly balanced and the curry sauce was exactly what you would get in Japan. I also liked their dressing for the side cabbage salad which was a lovely sesame dressing. The food came out quickly and the servers though not having English as their first language helped out as much as they could. They were very nice and checked in on us a couple times. Most of the food is around $20, however, if you pay cash there is a small cash discount! I'll absolutely be back for a bite to eat in the future! read more

I've mostly ordered either pickup or delivery from this Katsuya location and the packaging of their takeout is really good! I love the katsu isn't overly oily and the flavours are nice. It's super filling to get even just the pain katsu over rice. My personal favourites are original (chicken or pork) and also ordering with curry. I've tried the fish katsu which was also really tasty, but definitely the more expensive option! Some day I hope to dine in, but for now, takeout has really been hitting the spot for my household anytime we're craving katsu. read more

Spontaneously came across this place on a Wednesday evening and there was plenty of tables available for the two of us. We were seated right away and service was really fast and frequent. We ordered the Red Carbonara Udon (spicy), Carbonara Pork Loin Katsu, and Karaage Chicken thighs to share. All the food came out fast, fresh, and crispy. We even had to let our food cool down before digging in! While we were there, the store had many orders for pickup and delivery. But I would totally recommend to eat in while the food is still hot and fresh! (Not sure how crispy the food will still be by the time you get home). Ps: This little gem is tucked away towards the back of the plaza. (We drove past the plaza first time around since we couldn't see the store logo). read more

Pricey, but the food was good. The Katsuya udon was a bit bland, but the katsu was good. I tried both the Japanese fish katsu and the white snow spicy pork katsu. Very filling and nice portions so the price makes sense. The cheese on top of the pork katsu was great, and the crispiness of the fish katsu was incredible. There's not much to say about the service. The food came out quick and they got the job done efficiently and the order right. The interior is pretty and nobody was there when I went to nice and quiet. I wish we got something other than cold water, though, and there doesn't seem to be any beverages. read more

Katsuya - White snow spicy chicken katsu - Japanese Near Me - Mississauga, Ontario

Food was amazing and really good! My friends enjoyed it as well. Went on a Tuesday evening at around 5:00pm and wasn't too packed. I love the layout of the place and the wooden decor. Gives a nice inviting warm welcome to guests. Service was also pretty quick! I ordered the pork loin Terri mayo katsu and really enjoyed it. They also gave out udon broth (miso soup was temporarily unavailable) which was yummy! One critique is that I didn't like how they gave out wooden chopsticks. Mine was flimsy and broke upon getting split apart and also I felt as if they gave out way too little rice. Things to note is that if you check in on yelp they give you a free soft drink! I got the Coke Zero. read more

I stopped by Katsuya the other day for their 10-year anniversary special, and man, it brought back memories--I was actually at their grand opening 10 years ago! They're celebrating a decade strong with a $10 deal on their original katsu, so I had to check it out. This place is a Japanese fusion katsu spot, and it's still killing it after all these years. Walking in, the vibe hits you right away--industrial wood interior, high ceilings, super open layout. You can see every table in the place, and it's not huge--maybe 10 or 12 tables tops. I knew it'd get crowded for the anniversary deal, so I timed it smart: 4 PM for an early dinner. Perfect move--only four tables were taken, so it felt nice and relaxed. I went straight for the $10 original chicken katsu special. The staff took my order quick, and within 10 minutes, it was in front of me--freshly deep-fried, piping hot, and looking legit. They start you off with a miso soup, which was a nice warm-up before the main event. Then came the katsu plate, and wow, the presentation was on point. The plate itself had this intricate, neutral-colored design that made everything pop. It came with the katsu, a side of rice, some pickled veggies, and this relish-like salad. The katsu itself? Absolute fire. The chicken was juicy, the breading was crispy, and they didn't skimp on the sauce--thank goodness, because I hate when places leave you with a dry dish halfway through. There was plenty to go around, so every bite stayed flavorful. I cleaned the plate--every grain of rice, every drop of sauce. You can tell they've got this down to a science. I've been to Katsuya maybe four or five times over the years (different locations too), and they're so consistent. The quality never dips, and that's probably why they've lasted a decade. The staff at this spot seemed Korean-owned, and their English was so-so, but it didn't matter--they were friendly enough, and the food spoke for itself. The industrial vibe with the wood and high ceilings gives it a cool, modern edge, though it's not some massive space. It's cozy in its own way. Honestly, this meal was a steal at this special price, and even at regular price, I'd say it's worth it for how good and reliable it is. I'm giving Katsuya a solid 5 stars. Been a fan since day one, and this anniversary visit just reminded me why. If you're into katsu or just want a spot that's nailed consistency, this is it. Can't wait to come back--maybe I'll try something new next time, but that original katsu is hard to beat! read more

You know the food is going to be good when the other patrons of the restuarant are Japanese! We came here with our family (2 toddlers) and they were very accomodating and had high chairs ready as well as juice boxes! We ordered the katsuya katsu chicken, traditional karage chicken and the seafood udon carbonara. The food was delicious and the food came out really fast. The wait staff were also very friendly and came to check up on our toddlers to see if we had everything we needed. Highly recommend! read more

Katsuya has always been a tasty comfort food to us. We ordered the curry chicken katsu and red spicy carbonara chicken katsu. The service was fast and the food was delicious. The portions are huge which is great. I've been coming here since the year they first opened and I really appreciate how the flavours and ambiance haven't changed. The katsus were cooked well with a nice crunch in every bite. The curry sauce was packed with umami flavours and delicate sweetness to it. The red spicy carbonara was spicy and creamy. Will continue to come back here! read more

Been wanting to try here for a while...I was disappointed by the service. When our food arrived, we weren't given cutlery and had to go up to the servers to ask. I guess they had run out of cutlery so we were given the plastic ones for takeout. They also didn't give us water or napkins, which we noticed other tables had. We basically had to ask for service each time. In terms of food, the katsuya was a nice portion and very crispy. I initially enjoyed it, but my stomach reacted poorly about an hour later. I don't want to blame the food, but the restaurant didn't seem the cleanest to me. I will likely not be coming back. read more

Love love loved Katsuya on my visit during my toronto trip! Wanted to check them out as other fellow yelpers have ranted about this place. so I took a detour to stop by on my way to view the city. I ended up placing an order for pick up so I wouldn't have to stop in to eat while touring the city, Food was ready upon pick up and included utensils and napkins inside. I ended up getting the carbonara and the brick cheese plates. I think I enjoyed and loved the brick cheese ones much more than the carbonara one. The carbonara sauce was lacking in just about everything if you ask me. There was no taste, just a cream sauce, no cheese or nothing! Make sure to get the cheese bricks if you do not know what to get. Staff was friendly and had everything ready for me when I got there. They also let me use the restroom after I paid. DEF a fan and will be coming back for some grub each visit to the 6! read more

I'm always down for some tasty katsu, so when I was asked to have lunch at Katsuya, I was more than happy to check the place out. We arrived around lunchtime on a recent Saturday and the place was maybe half full. After grabbing a table with rickety, uncomfortable stools, I began perusing their surprisingly extensive menu. I finally decided to go with the Garlic Spicy Katsu ("Spicy katsu complemented with deep-fried fresh garlic") and I got that with the Pork Loin Katsu option. It arrived a little while later and it looked amazing. I mean, it's fried meat and plentiful gravy. What's not to like? This is one tasty dish. The pork loin was cooked perfectly and was impressively tender, while the curry sauce and the plentiful garlic enhanced the pork considerably. The other components, including rice and a lightly dressed cabbage salad, work well, too. I guess my only complaint would be that the sauce was just a touch sweeter than I would've preferred. I'm not sure why any sugar was added to this but it definitely doesn't need it. I'm excited to come back and try some of their many other variations, that's for sure. read more

Katsuya - Garlic Spicy Katsu. - Japanese Near Me - Mississauga, Ontario

I've been to Katsuya multiple times before and their katsu is always crispy and good. This time, I noticed that they have a mississauga only menu and decided to try one of them out. I got the sweet potato and cream cheese tteokbokki. They had the sweet potato purée and cream cheese squeezed onto the tteokbokki which honestly looked a little weird. I mixed it into the tteokbokki but I found it too sweet. Not sure if their tteokbokki is on the sweeter side, but I didn't enjoy it that much. I'll probably stick to the classic katsu next time. read more

Katsuya - Original Katsu and Japanese Katsu on top - Japanese Near Me - Mississauga, Ontario

First dinner after spending long hours at the Toronto airport. They were still open, and were fairly busy. We were seated right away towards the back. Service was pretty decent overall. Portions were fair, but prices were on the higher side. Although, Canada's prices generally are $$$. The sweet potato cheese katsu was pork heavy. I mean, you can seriously taste the pork flavor, but not sure if I liked it. The silver brick katsu was delicious, but only if you like cheese. It definitely was cheese heavy with a thin layer of pork meat wrapped around it, hence its name, "brick." We asked for some soy sauce, but they said they didn't have any to give. Really? No soy sauce at a katsu eatery?? Then the staff said they had the soy sauce in a giant bottle, so they were unable to give to their customers. Kind of odd, I thought. Good lighting, cute decór. read more

Hands down my favorite thing we had at this place was the miso soup that came with the entrées. It tasted amazing & made me want more. Chicken karaage was a great starter & chicken was nice & juicy. Katsu curry was good, as well as the katsu plate. I like how it came with your own bowl of sesame seeds to grind & mix with the katsu sauce. read more

Came in on a Monday around 5:30pm to catch up with a friend. We were seated right away because it was almost empty. Server was great with us and fairly attentive. We ended up staying for about 3 hours and they never pushed us to leave once, even though we were just 2 people at a four person table. It got busier throughout the night, but the servers were so nice. Food was great! I got a pork katsu with the Japanese style sauce. Very crispy breading and juicy meat. I feel like there could've been a little more sauce on the side, just because I found there wasn't enough for the amount of meat I had. The sauce was tangy and sweet, a great complement to the chicken and sesame seeds. Restaurant was clean and well lit. The back wall is a rich, dark colour which helps keep a modern and sleek appearance. read more

Katsuya - Pork Katsu - Japanese Near Me - Mississauga, Ontario

First visit to the Katsuya chain and I liked it. This Mississauga location was convenient for us driving back to Western NY from Toronto. It's cozy inside, but tables were spaced out well and did not feel cramped at all. The music was on the loud side, but i'm getting old. I was also more concerned since we brought our 3 month old with us. Maybe I just don't like K-pop that much. The service was prompt and efficient. Food came out surprisingly quickly, despite a full house and also many takeout orders. It was freezing in the restaurant however, so everyone had their winter jackets on inside the restaurant. Turn on the heat guys! Pricing was fair, considering the portions. Even if you're a big eater, I don't think you will leave hungry. A lot of the Katsu options, looked pretty similar to be honest. Our group of three got the Katsuya Original, Sweet Chili Katsu and a Katsuya Udon. The Katsu is quite enjoyable and perfectly crispy. Both sauces were on the sweet side, which was a bit strange, but still enjoyable. The udon was pretty unremarkable. The accompanying coleslaw and daikon radish pair well with the sweet and savory katsu. Overall, a good dining experience (besides the loud music and cold temperature). I would return for a katsu fix. read more

We ordered Katsuya pork with various sauce. The Katsuya here is hard to beat in terms of the crispiness of the batter, softness, juiciness of the pork katsu. It's tasty from inside and out. Not sure if they have tenderized the pork using some fruit juices or not. - original sauce: a bit sweeter than other Japanese places to me. Ok only - hot spicy sauce: it's spicy per Western standard tasty though but if you love spicy food, you will like it - garlic chilli sauce: not very spicy and the sauce on the sweet side. Garlic was so crispy and it complimented the pork quite well - red carbonara sauce: smoky tasty flavor, really good, greasy thoighyou can get satiated really fast They make fresh breadcrumb themselves. The chef might be Korean (? i might be wrong but whoever it is, this katsu is something new and different). Definitely worth a visit. read more

Ordered takeout via uber. Curry was nice and sweet, thick sauce as anticipated with Japanese curries. Pork katsu was well battered and fried. unfortunately was already a bit soggy when I ate it given I couldn't eat it right away and it was delivery. Overall pork was not tough and not dry. One katsu, average size portion. Comes with a few pickled Daikon, Shredded cabbage, and sauce. Overall good sides for your katsu. Miso soup was nice and clean. Good way to cleanse the palate. Overall good quality. Wish i had it fresh so cant gauge when it was crispy, however given I ate it after hours and still kept a good texture and consistency, I can imagine it being very good on arrival! Would love to dine in. read more

Have been here four times and have always had great service and wonderful food. The atmosphere is relaxed and you are never rushed.

I love this place! A total bang for your bucks! I got their carbonara chicken Katsu and their Japanese pork katsu. The Japanese sauce is average and taste very much like BBQ sauce, nonetheless still very delicious, but the carbonara sauce is to die for! This is definitely my favourite item on their menu. It's super flakey and crispy on the outside mixed in with their creamy carbonara sauce. 5/5 I also tried their red carbonara udon! Super saucy, super creamy with a kick! I wished it came with chicken/pork katsu instead of shrimp but still super delicious. 4/5 Lastly, we got the sliver brick cheese katsu. For all you pork and cheese lover out there, this one is for you! 3.5/5 read more

My partner and I are big fans of Katsuya and we usually go to the Markham location, however we decided to give the Mississauga one a try. We went on a Sunday afternoon and the wait was about 30 minutes. There's a french bakery next door that serves as a perfect place to visit during the wait. Once we got our call, we got seated immediately after the vaccine and temperature check. I ordered the Terri Mayo Pork Loin for myself and my partner ordered the Honeycomb Pork Loin. We waited for about 15-20 mins to get our food as we had 2 full tables come in right before us. I didn't mind the wait however, the kitchen was super loud. Given the layout of the restaurant, the kitchen is open to the tables and we can clearly hear the meat pounding which made it difficult to have conversations with others at the table. Both of our dishes were amazing! The Katsu was crispy yet tender and juicy on the inside. I had mayo on mine while the honeycomb one had sweet and sour sauce, mustard and mayo. The sauces really elevated the dish. The Katsu also comes with rice, cabbage, ginger and picked radish. One thing I did noticed was that my rice portion seemed a bit smaller than my partner and what I got from the other locations. Despite that, my belly was stuffed afterwards, definitely worth the price. I would highly recommend Katsuya if you haven't tried it yet! read more

I've dined in at several other Katsuya's and have ordered to go countless times but dining in at this specific location is definitely my favorite experience! Despite there being a snowstorm, my partner and I decided to check to see if they'd be open and were pleasantly surprised to find out they were. We already love Katsuya specifically for their Spicy Onion Katsu but again this location exceeded our expectations. The portions are incredibly generous, they kindly refilled our rice and soup and even gave us a delicious cup of Korean coffee to keep us warm during the cold weather. We will definitely be back!! read more

Review is for takeout! -10% for cash payments, -15% if you're in Markham/North York/Downtown!!! This place is pretty much down the street from my house, but the last time that I visited was a few years ago. No reason for the delay, but I guess we all overlook places that are close-by! Obviously, not the same experience as I got a takeout, so I'm not even sure if they still offer all-you-can-eat/drink miso soup / shredded cabbage salad for dine-in. All I know is that they did not serve miso soup due to some "disruption in supply chain", but they offered udon soup instead. Certainly, not cheap, but the sauces are GOOD! And sauces/choice of protein is basically the difference between all the offerings. You get to choose pork/chicken/fish, then whatever flavour of sauce that you feel like. I ordered the Red Carbonara and it really hit the spot with a nice combo of creamy, tangy, and SPICY. Yes, there was definitely some heat to it! If you get takeout, eat dish is served in a bento box style takeout container. There is a separate container for the sauce so your katsu doesn't get soggy and it's more than enough sauce. The entire bento is a nice, balanced meal - good enough serving for 1 without feeling overstuff...or hungry. Best to order ahead! read more

One of my go to places when I am craving some Katsu. Food: All their sauces are really good! I personally get the red spicy carbonara, but the spicy garlic is really good too. If you are trying this out for the first time, start with the original sauce. It's a good blend of sweet, sour, and savory. From there, depending on your spice tolerance, get the carbonara or spicy carbonara. Ambience: They have loads of seating available! It's a really nice and chill vibe. If you are looking for a good dine-in place in GTA, you must check it out! Service: People were really nice! Service was quick. read more

Great new location in mississauga! Service was a little slow but the fish katsu and Japanese pork loin katsu traditional style was absolutely delicious and made super crispy on the outside while maintaining succulent and soft inside. Good job chef! At first I thought it would be boring but I was wrong! They are so much crispier and tastier too. I had the white snow chicken cutlet in chili sauce with cheese, which was okay but the cutlet was not as crispy as the Japanese style. The carbonara was also good and tasty bc of the seafood but the cream was was very thick. The honey comb was a little weird bc it had mustard and mayo. Nothing too special. The brick cheese pork loin set was good as well but it reminded me of a fried piece of cheese wrapped in ham and deep fried. Worth a try! Overall I would highly recommend the traditional style cutlet because both of them were amazing!! read more
