    #3 Chicken Katsu Bowl.
    Matt D.

    The dining area was clean and modern looking. The menu was easy to read and order. The portion size of the katsu bowl was small for the price paid. The food was served in black plastic disposable bowls and was warm, not hot. The flavor was fair and nothing special. They could've provided more than 2 small pieces of broccoli in the bowl. The texture of the chicken was strange and I questioned to myself if I was even eating chicken. The katsu sauce was sweet with an artificial type flavor. Would not go back.

    Spicy Katsu Burger Deluxe

    It's been a very long time since I have been to this teriyaki spot. It's changed a few times and seemed to try to figure out its identity. I had the Spicy Katsu Burger Deluxe. The katsu had a great crunch and I enjoyed the slaw on top. It wasn't spicy at all. Actually, I didn't taste much heat at all. The bun was good, but the bottom bun got soggy. The fries tasted really good. They had a great crunch and soft inside. Only negative is I didn't understand what value the deluxe option gave. I asked if the "deluxe" meant larger and they said yes. Honestly, they only give you a little bit of fries. If your customer is paying the deluxe combo price, make it worth their while. I will definitely be back again.

    #6 Beef Teri & Chick Katsu Combo

    Katsuyaki had been on my list to try for a little while and I finally decided to pick up some food for lunch as a pick me up in between work. They are tucked away in a plaza near the industrial area in Santa Clara. I saw that they had a few more options than I saw online/Yelp, which was nice. I ordered the bbq beef and chicken katsu bento and a side of California rolls togo (about $25 before tip). When I got my food, I felt like the portions were quite smaller than I expected, especially for the price. The food itself was pretty good and I was pleasantly surprised by how nice the California rolls tasted and complemented the meal. The service was nice and I got my food within 5 minutes. Overall besides the price, it was a good experience and I can see why people would stop by for lunch during the work week.

    #6 Beef Teri & Chick Katsu Combo, California Roll

    This place is added to my list of reliable takeout lunch spots! You can't go wrong with some katsu or teriyaki from here. I recommend the beef teriyaki, which is thinly sliced and you gotta drown it in sauce! Definitely a guilty pleasure. They also have California rolls here, which I was skeptical about... but when it's $7, it's a nice side dish. The katsu is definitely the winner here! Fried well and not overly crispy. It has a good crunch and pairs well with the classic katsu sauce and rice. I will definitely try out their praised katsu burger next time :)

    It's gotten better IMHO. I ordered #6 combo with beef teriyaki and chicken katsu plus it comes with Cali roll and a gyoza. Service was friendly and they even offered a sample of the chicken curry katsu since they're trying to offer new items and testing. Get beyond the plain store front, the food is good and pleasant place to grab a bite in this part of town by the airport. Bathroom area needs a bit of refreshing to match the front of house. Enjoy!

    #2 Beef Teriyaki Plate. It was good.
    Tom S.

    Last time I was here was probably 11-12 years ago when it was still known as Ed's Teriyaki. When it was Ed's, it was delicious. Last I left off with Ed's Teriyaki was that they would be closing after the original owners were going to retire. Word on the street was that the son seemed ambivalent (at the time) whether he'd want to continue the restaurant or not, and that was it. I haven't checked in with the business and totally glossed over the fact that it was known as "Greenfish" and only now as "Katsuyaki". I got the beef teri and although it was good (although I'd say it was a bit too salty now), I don't remember it hitting nearly as good as it was when it was Ed's. Maybe that's just my own bias, but Ed's was something I'd write home about. Katsuyaki? I'd be happy and think it was good, though not sure if I'd write home about it. Also their hours are only from 10am-2pm which I get it they probably know their customer traffic well and there were some days back when it was Ed's when it was totally dead there but it might be because of their location and people really have to plan when they want to visit here to eat. Overall it was ok, if you want to experience any remnants of Ed's then at least you can with Katsuyaki, I'm sure they handed the original recipes over now but whether it translates to still being good or not I'd say it's debatable. Though I do want to clarify it certainly isn't bad.

    Chicken katsu bento ($18) (good) (small portion)
    Khue M.

    My coworkers took me here for lunch. Everyone seem to really enjoy their orders. I got a chicken katsu bento box ($18). The chicken katsu have a nice batter outside, while being juicy and tasty. Their sauce for the katsu was also tasty. The portion is quite small for the price, but at least we didn't get a food comma when we come back to work.

    Bento ##5 Chick Teri & Chick Katsu Combo
    Robert C.

    Looking for a quick work lunch in Santa Clara and found this spot on Yelp. It's set in a strip mall in an out of the way area. The menu is written on the wall- good variety of options, prices aren't bad. Food is ordered at the counter and you're given a number. I ordered the bento #5, chicken katsu and teriyaki. Came with rice and a small salad. Good size portion, nice sauce- all good.

    I had visited this restaurant as Ed's Teriyaki a number of times over the years and this is the first time as Katsuyaki. I was craving for a japanese bento box dinner and so I decided to try this place. I placed my order online and ordered a chicken and beef teriyaki combo bento meal. Fortunately it was not too far from my home so I made a quick trip there. Upon arriving I remembered that parking can be an adventure. The space is very tight, there are not a lot of spaces, and it is one way in and out. Inside I noticed there were only 3 tables occupied but most people ordered take out. I went to the counter and picked up my order. Once home, I opened my order and it looked pretty good. One problem that stood out was the side salad. It was supposed to be a miso salad with grilled cabbage and broccoli. Instead it was a lettuce and some cabbage salad with no dressing at all. I started on the meal and another thing became quite obvious. The chicken and beef was drenched in teriyaki sauce that was super sweet. I could barely taste the proteins. I think they should be a little more light handed with the teriyaki sauce. If you wipe away the excess, you can taste the teriyaki grill flavors on the chicken and beef. Fortunately, the meats were grilled almost perfectly allowing the meats to remain quite moist and tasty. I noticed that the price was about $1.50 more if ordered online. Since there was a small number of patrons in the restaurant I think next time I will just drive up and order to-go.

    Beef and chicken teriyaki plate
    Sandra N.

    Just three words for you. BEEF. KATSU. BURGER. You wouldn't expect a small ma & pa shop that specializes in teriyaki to make such dang good burgers. Their spicy beef katsu burger is mindblowingly tasty, although I didn't find it spicy at all. I would come back here for the burger alone. The beef patty is thick with a beautiful golden crispy exterior. The meat is really juicy and quite flavorful on its own. The bread bun is pillowly soft and soaks up that nice beef juice without becoming too soggy. The melty cheese, fresh tomato and lettuce and acidity of the pickles all tie up the burger nicely. Their menu lists pepperjack cheese in the ingredients but my cheese was yellow, likely cheddar cheese- no complaints here, just something to note. The garlic fries are a great option for a side dish to your burger. Lots of potato-y taste with a light crisp exterior. The garlic flavor was subtle, not too strong. As a huge garlic fan, I would have liked more garlic flavor but it was still really enjoyable. Now the beef & chicken teriyaki plate is your standard teriyaki meal. The chicken is cooked well but drenched in their sweet and a bit overly salty teriyaki sauce. I do wish the chicken was moist and had a more smoky char to it. The beef is tender and a bit more fatty than the chicken which is probably why I enjoyed it more. I think the dish could be improved with a bed of cabbage to soak up all that delicious sauce and given a bigger serving of rice. The sauce was a bit overwhelming so a bigger portion of rice is needed to balance out the salt. Pro tip: Get a side of their in house made spicy sauce for 50 cents! It makes a huge difference and adds a mild kick of flavor to the meat. Located in an older part of Santa Clara behind the airport, Katsuyaki is tucked away in a long established building with its own private parking lot in front. They offer a variety of teriyaki plates, chicken katsu burgers, and even sushi platters. Service is very friendly and personable. Our food took less than 10 minutes to come out and it was presented nicely. Prices are reasonable for what you get. Such simple ingredients, yet their beef katsu burger is such a showstopper. Their teriyaki dishes will satisfy your teriyaki cravings but I didn't find anything too special about them. I would come here again!

    Located in an industrial area, I personally have never seen or heard of this place. I went because I was nearby and got the katsuburger. It comes in a box that has separate spots for the onion and cole slaw. The burger was FIRE. I would come again. Nice crunch to it and amazing flavor. It did take a while to get my food, but it was worth the wait.

DISH. IS. DELICIOUS! The first time I had Leichi, I wanted to go back the week after because it was that good. Service (with reservation) is always on point and food comes out quick. The waiters are welcoming and open to answering any questions. My favorites are the tempura octopus, homemade tofu, cold duck soba, black cod, hojicha panna cotta, and assorted sushi. They ship their fish from Japan, so it's always high quality and fresh. The sashimi is literally melt in your mouth. The housemade tofu is fresh and has the rich soy flavor. My boyfriend isn't a big tofu guy, but even he loved it. The black cod is cooked with sake and a must try! Their ginger ale is housemade with their ginger syrup. I'm always grabbing two cups whenever I go! The hojicha panna cotta is rich, creamy, and always a great end to any meal.

Nothing was off, but nothing really stood out either. The sashimi was fresh and the grilled fish was cooked well, though the flavors and presentation didn't quite leave a lasting impression.

Overall, a solid spot if you're looking for a quiet, easy meal, but not somewhere I'd go out of my way for just yet.

We ordered our favorite appetizer first and then placed the rest of our order. There were both a female and a male server, and neither of them made us feel welcome at all. The male server did not write anything down while taking our order and barely responded when I spoke. He gave no acknowledgment whatsoever, so I honestly could not tell whether he even heard me. It felt like the staff simply wanted us to leave as quickly as possible because the restaurant closes at 8 PM. We even rushed through our meal and made sure to leave before 8 PM out of consideration for the staff, yet we were still treated like an inconvenience the entire time. What shocked me the most was the hygiene issue. The black-haired female server at the counter near the entrance dropped a small stainless steel basket used for checks onto the floor, stepped on it with her shoe, then picked it up with her hands and placed it back without cleaning or sanitizing it. After that, she never washed or sanitized her hands, yet continued touching napkins, utensils, and setting tables. That is completely unacceptable, especially in a restaurant. To make things worse, my husband ordered a soju cocktail, and the male server placed the alcoholic drink directly in front of me even though I am visibly 9 months pregnant with a very large baby bump. He said nothing and walked away. Not once did the staff say "enjoy your meal" when serving our food. They never checked on our table even once afterward, and we never received any water or napkin refills. The only time the male server came back was after cleaning the restroom to tell us the kitchen was closing. If customers arriving after 7 PM are such an inconvenience, then please put a sign on the door telling people not to come in after that time. And most importantly, please teach your staff proper hygiene and basic customer service. This was one of the most unwelcoming and unsanitary dining experiences I have ever had.

PARKING: decent parking, it's around other places so it is in a lot but if it is a busy time it would be pretty hard to try and get a space.
