This is our go to spot for tonkatsu and/or soba noodles. It's cafeteria style where you order with a person but you pick up the food with a buzzer and the put your tray away after you're done eating. The dining area is always nice and clean. I love how sometimes they offer free cotton candy to kids after dining. read more

Tasty casual spot for Korean influenced Japanese food. Ordered take out so I can't speak much to service or ambiance but the food was good. The portion sizes are great for the price - good value meal sets. Ordered the katsu with tobiko rice. Katsu stayed hot and crispy on our 25 minute ride home! Husband got udon with gyudon and thought it was nothing mind blowing but as expected. Overall would return if I was in the area! read more

I take my words back - I don't know what direction they are trying to go; is it Korean? Japanese? Or a fusion, which really means "mix that sh't up til no one figures out what the F they're tasting"? Kimchi nabe udon had a very interesting funky sugary shoyu-based broth mixed with bits of kimchi - an abomination you usually create when you accidentally pour sugar into your kimchi jjigae trying to balance out the old, sour taste. The tonkatsu that came as a combo was mysteriously tender - possible with extra meat tenderizer sprinkl'd - thats 40 Water ref 4 u, yadadadamean?? Overall not as good as I remember, but oh, this was my actual 2nd time ever and I remembered why. With so many new Korean "Japanese-inspired" tonkatsu places popping up around the area, no wonder place was dead-empty during lunch time. read more

Came to Kisoya for dinner and tried to place an order at the register around 8:35 pm, but unfortunately had a disappointing experience. When we approached the counter and ready/waiting to place our order, the employee (young lady) informed my husband somewhat passive-aggressively that there wouldn't be enough time to eat comfortably since they were nearing closing. What was frustrating is that they were still open, and there were several tables with customers actively dining. It felt like she simply didn't want our business. If there's a cutoff time for ordering, that should be clearly communicated or posted so customers don't waste their time making the trip. We ended up leaving without eating, which was really disappointing. We could have even ordered our food to go but after that interaction, we decided to take our business elsewhere. Definitely room for improvement when it comes to customer experience. read more

My fiance was craving Japanese Curry since we had it in Taiwan, and so we hunted this place down. It was very very tasty. The portions were very big. Loved how crispy the tonkatsu is and the curry was very flavorful / just what we were craving. My Tobikodon Tonkatsu Set came with udon soup, hot stone bibimbap, rice, pickles, and crispy tonkatsu. The tonkatsu curry rice dish had a perfectly crispy pork cutlet over rice with a rich, curry sauce. It's counter service - so just order at the counter and take a seat. When you're done you just return the tray at the tray return area. And we went at lunch so the whole place was bright and clean and casual. Everything was super comforting and flavorful. Would definitely come back! read more

Kisoya is a casual Japanese restaurant serving ramen, udon, and katsu. This is a no tip restaurant with plenty of seating. The service was fine. I got the Tonkotsu Ramen. Unfortunately, I was not a fan. The broth had so many bean sprouts and was extremely clear so it tasted really healthy, which might work for other people but for me it kind of tasted watery. I wanted that rich, creamy broth that comes with tonkotsu ramen. The egg was also very plain. It seems like the katsu is a popular dish here so I would potentially come back to try it, but I would steer clear of the ramen. read more

Love Kisoya! It is quite out the way being in Suwanee, but it is worth the drive for the price and amount of food you get. I order the number one/Tonkatsu plate every time and it doesn't miss. The katsu is huge. It comes with udon, rice and salad--I sub my salad for rice. All for $16! Service is quick and easy. Ambiance is nice, with plentiful seating as well. Definitely worth the try! read more

Got the roe bibimbap and pork Katsu. The Katsu was SO good! It's a large serving. The pork was nice and juicy. The dipping sauce paired very well. The rice was cooked nice and fluffy. All the toppings were cut small and had a nice mouth feel. Everything was great! You ordered at the counter and return your own dish. Everything you order also comes out to an even dollar which is cool! Decor was minimalistic- very modern Japanese inspired! Would be a nice lunch place to go to. read more

I had lunch at Kisoya for the first time and noticed that the self-service system seems to be a growing trend amid today's intense restaurant competition. We ordered two katsu lunch boxes along with two different udon dishes. The katsu was excellent, perfectly crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. My kimchi udon, however, leaned a bit too sweet and salty, as if the seasoning was intentionally made bold to enhance the flavor, but it ended up being slightly overpowering for my taste. Overall, it was still a satisfying meal with a strong highlight on the katsu. read more

Craved Kisoya for lunch today and got the original tonkatsu set. It came with udon soup, rice, and cabbage salad. Everything was super fresh and nicely plated. The katsu had a really good crunch and wasn't oily at all, and the udon broth was light but flavorful. You order at the front and they call your number to pick up at the window. I thought it was an easy and quick system. The place itself is super clean and well kept, and the workers were so nice and friendly. Overall a great little self-service spot if you're craving katsu. Would definitely come back! read more

Kisoya - #1 tonkatsu plate - Japanese Near Me - Suwanee, Georgia

I had seen this place on my Instagram and was so intrigued to go to a no tip Japanese restaurant !! When you arrive you are in a busy shopping center with tons of businesses and shops! Parking can be a hassle because of how busy it is but there is a good amount! Upon entering you are in a cute little restaurant that almost looks like a cafeteria! You only have to talk to a server to place your order and they had a very nice menu full of so many good choices! I ordered a chicken katsu plate and my husband got pork katsu curry! We were handed a beeper for when our order was ready. They have plenty of seating, so we found a nice place with comfy chairs and waited for our order to be done. The wait was maybe about 15 minutes as it was busy but once it was ready we went over to hand our beeper and grab our trays of food. They portions were HUGE and I wasn't expecting so much food for $16!! The food was absolutely amazing and the best amount of food. You get a mini udon soup, bowl of rice, main plate of food and some dipping sauce. The chicken katsu was so moist and full of flavor. The portions were great. The rice was soft and fluffy, and my favorite was the soup! So much flavor for something so simple! Once you're done you just take your tray to a window and you're all done! Overall, i was thoroughly impressed and this place is a new fave. read more

Kisoya - #6 combo - Japanese Near Me - Suwanee, Georgia

Popped in here for a quick last minute dinner choice with my parents. They've been here before, but I have not. This is located in the same plaza as ASSI, but it is in a corner that is set a little back from the store fronts. Ground floor, check for a tiny "alley" and you'll see it. Parking is available but at times busy so be ready to look for a spot when lots of people are around. Walking in, the interior is very clean, inviting, and easy to find seating (we went later around 7). They're open until 9 so it's a great spot for quick on the go eating! This is considered fast casual, where you order your food and then they give you a beeper to announce when you're food is ready. The menu is not large, they focus on Tonkatsu (pork cutlets), udon, and dishes like Korean spicy rice cakes, kurobuta sausage, shrimp tempura, takoyaki and okonomiyaki (Japan). You can order combo meals that offer you noodle soup and a side pork cutlet that's very well executed. I went with the cheese tonkatsu tteokbokki, which was a pork cutlet that came with spicy rice cakes and cheese on the top. I debated going with curry ramen or curry combo but I had it earlier last week. The tonkatsu was well executed, panko breadcrumbs are shatteringly crunchy, and the sauce you get with it was not given because the rice cakes sauce was plenty. The dish was not very spicy, nor sweet. It felt a little Americanized, which I understand since it can be very spicy. It came with a side of Japanese radish, and a small Udon noodle bowl with seaweed. A lot of food, tough to finish unless you're super hungry. 3 people ate for $49, no gratuity since I believe the pricing they charge allows them to pay their employees wages beyond the nominal server hourly rate then depend on tips to make up the rest. Enjoyable, good service, and well executed. Support small businesses! read more

Kisoya - Look for this sign and you'll see the walkway set back for the entrance. - Japanese Near Me - Suwanee, Georgia

Kisoya was a hidden gem--literally! We had a little trouble finding it at first since it's tucked behind a pillar, but after calling, the owner or manager kindly came out to greet us and walk us in. That gesture alone set the tone for the rest of the visit--warm, attentive, and welcoming. They knew it was our first time and gave thoughtful recommendations, which we really appreciated. My husband ordered the King Tonkatsu, and I had the cold Saba noodles with a side of Tonkatsu--both were delicious! The flavors were clean, fresh, and well-balanced. Loved the fresh side of radish and yummy wasabi! One suggestion: it might be helpful to have a couple more trash cans around the dining area. We and a few other guests found ourselves looking for one, though they do have a designated area to dump trays and food waste, which was neat and organized. Overall, we really enjoyed our time at Kisoya and will be back. read more

I had a frustrating experience here and ended up leaving without eating. The restaurant closes at 9 PM, and I arrived around 8:35 PM expecting to be able to order. When I tried to place an order, I was told there wouldn't be enough time to comfortably eat. I asked if the kitchen was already closed, and they said it was still open--which made the situation even more confusing. If your posted hours say you're open until 9, customers should reasonably expect to be served during that time. Instead, the interaction felt passive-aggressive and unwelcoming. Unfortunately, this experience left a bad impression. With so many similar restaurants opening in and around the area, I doubt I'll be revisiting. read more

Kisoya is a great casual spot for katsu, udon, and soba. It's self-service and no tipping, which keeps things simple. The katsu was crispy without being too greasy, and the portion was generous. I really liked the cold soba--the noodles were super bouncy and the broth was refreshing. read more

I have to say that this place is very efficient. They have a simple system in place where you order in the front, pick up your food on a tray and return your tray in the back so you don't have to tip anyone. The food: I got the Kimchi Udon and Pork Katsu combo. The Kimchi Udon soup had a good flavor, the udon noodles were perfectly cooked but I still felt like it was lacking. Not sure why, but it was. The small pork cutlet it came with was ok. No seasoning, just covered in Panko and fried. The Panko breadcrumbs stuck to the cutlet though. Wasn't the juiciest cut of pork I've ever had and for me, it had a slight gamey taste. The set also came with a little bowl of rice. I could tell that I got the bottom of what was left in the rice cooker because my rice had a little nurongji (burnt rice, like Tahdig) spot on it. I appreciate that they put the Tonkatsu sauce on the side because I hate Tonkatsu sauce and just eat my cutlet with salt. My friend got the King Tonkatsu that also came with rice and a little udon bowl. She didn't like her udon soup. Her King Tonkatsu was super big and they put sauce all over it so it got soggy. They have all utensils, bowls, to go containers and anything else you need in the front. The staff is really friendly. Maybe my taste buds were off that day but the food wasn't really doing it for me. Prices are mid range. It can get loud in there. People bring their screaming kids, plus lots of people talking. If you love Tonkatsu, this may be a great place. The udon is ok. Definitely not a place I wouldn't go back to though, if a friend wanted to go. Just not my thing. read more

First time coming after being told they have good katsu! It's a self-serve restaurant (so no need to leave tip). I will say the prices up front are slightly higher than I expected, but with how big the portions are it's definitely worth it. Food doesn't take too long, and they will page you when they're ready. I got the hot soba with donkatsu and a stone bowl rice dish that came with donkatsu and a small bowl of udon. I left with leftovers to eat, and would love to come back again. read more

UDON WANT TO MISS OUT ON KISOYA | Atlanta 100% needed a donkatsu/udon dedicated restaurant - and I'm HERE. FOR. ALL. OF. IT. Located in the Suwanee ASSI plaza, it's a bit unassuming with all of the surrounding restaurants and shops, but definitely worth stopping in. The menu is simple - order at the counter once you've decided and pick up your food once it's ready. You also bring your tray back yourself to the tray return area. The prices on the menu already include tax, which is why the numbers are uneven looking. Even so, the options are quite affordable. They have combo set options which makes it easier to try a couple things at once. I ordered the Kimchi Nabe Udon Donkatsu Set, which comes with the Kimchi Nabe Udon and a side of a Donkatsu, unlike the Donkatsu Nabe Udon option. We also shared the takoyaki. The udon were chewy and delicious, and the katsu was perfectly crispy without being too heavily breaded. We also tried the Shrimp Tempura Udon, but I didn't like how the tempura was already added into the soup so it was soggy by the time we took pictures then ate. It's been a while since my last visit but I'll definitely be back! read more

Stopped by for dinner and grocery shopping near by. Orders are placed at the register and you get a buzzer for when it's ready. My food came out in less than 5 minutes since there was only one other table already there with their food. The 19. Tonkatsu nabe udon & rice came out hot and still boiling. There was a freshly cracker egg in the soup with a large fried pork cutlet. I enjoyed the tonkatsu broth and found it to not be overly salty. The pork was slightly tougher than I prefer and very soggy by the time I got to eat it since it was immediately submerged in the broth. Overall, I had a pleasant experience. Portions are much bigger than I expected and for a fair price. It's a clean and simple Japanese inspired restaurant that I would like to come again! read more

Kisoya - 19. Tonkatsu nabe udon & rice - Japanese Near Me - Suwanee, Georgia

Be prepared to be in a food coma after eating here. The food is good with great portions, but it's a heavy meal! PSA: There's also complimentary cotton candy for the kiddos or for yourself if you just ask the guy at the counter. Chicken karaage: This was really good. The accompanying sauce was tasty as well. The pieces varied from small to medium. They were decently sized pieces. Each wasn't super plump, but they were juicy and well seasoned. Cheese tonkatsu nabe udon: There were really good flavors when I tried the hubs' pick. The soup was really cheesy and wrapped around the udon. I'm not sure if I like my tonkatsu to be wet/soggy, but the flavors were enhanced by the seasoning in the soup. Cheese donkatsu: I wanted this because of the cheese, but it was rather boring. There were six thick pieces with cheese oozing out. The accompanying brown sauce had wasabi which I unknowingly ate. But overall I felt like it was too dry. I was scared to dip into the sauce after my experience. But maybe instead of using the sauce as a dipping sauce, I think it would have been better to have it mixed in lightly during the cooking process to add more sauce directly onto the meat. The little bowl of udon soup was a nice touch with a heavy meal like this. The cabbage salad was also a good buffer to this meaty selection. Would I come here again? Why yes, if I am craving some tonkatsu. And during the weekend, this place is packed so you know the food's good. And it is good, but I just leave feeling heavy afterwards. I think sharing one entree with someone would have been better since I have a super small appetite. read more

This is definitely one of the better Korean pork katsu places in the area. However, there are only two menus I get here: their regular katsu and their soba. Everything else has been a disappointment unfortunately. Their katsu meat isn't dry and it's seasoned well. It comes with udon noodles, but the udon wasn't anything special.. just tastes like instant ones you can make at home. Their soba is also good. Tastes good and good portion size. Their cold soba is also perfect for a hot, summer day. Efficient system like a food court where you order at the front, find your table, pick up your food from the front when it's ready, then return dishes after you're done. Service is pretty fast but it does get packed during weekday lunches with all the businesses around the area. read more

When you find that lowkey udon, soba, and katsu noodle shoup that makes you feel whole. My favorite Korean, Japanese style, fast casual shokudo noodle and katsu restaurant in NE Metro Atlanta. Tucked away in the Assi Plaza in Suwanee, this shop has both hot and cold noodle dishes for all seasons and cravings. This shop reminds me of Japanese themed similar restaurants that I've eaten at in Korea that are affordable and delicious. You place an order at the counter and pick up your tray when the order is ready. Feel free to customize your set meal with adding curry, cheese, etc. read more

A-MAZING. Highly recommend. This restaurant is very clean with self-serve. The staff were friendly and helpful with any questions I had. The food, impeccable. The rice dish that we had was bursting with flavor, and the crunchy rice at the bottom of the pot was crispy lover's dream. The katsu had a fantastic crunch with a juicy and tender meat on the inside. For the BBIM dish, the soba noodles were soft, chewy and flavorful. I did not particularly love the crunchiness of the cucumber skin with the noodles, but that may be because I'm biased and I don't like cucumbers LOL, but I feel like the textures did not compliment each other well. I ordered a side of curry for the Katsu and it did not disappoint. The curry with the Katsu is top-tier. Highly recommend!! Loved it so much the first time, went again within a span of 2 days, hence 2 dishes XD read more

I come here for the free cotton candy. Joking. I ordered a main and a side to share thinking it'll be enough food. I was wrong. I felt like my stomach was overstuffed. The cheese tonkatsu nabe udon was my pick. I never had a tonkatsu in a udon soup before and had to try it. Well of course the soup makes the tonkatsu soggy and you'll lose all of the crunch but that was ok with me. I liked the flavor overall and it was very filling. The chicken karaage was juicy. The sauce was tasty as well, but I honestly think I prefer the spicy Tiawnaese style popcorn chicken you can find at boba tea shops over the Japanese style karaage. I guess I prefer my chicken to be already heavily seasoned vs dipping it in a sauce. The wife had the cheese donkatsu. It looks pretty for the pictures, but it was a little boring. I think the wife felt like it was too dry. Would I come here again? Maybe. It was a heavy meal and I think they make a decent fried pork cutlet, but my caloric intake would only allow me to visit this place only once in a while. read more

Cute spot up in Suwanee. Tried it out for dinner before going to the Stripers game. I got the number 13 combo which was chicken katsu with curry and rice, served with pickled radish and some udon soup. It was a massive portion and absolutely delicious. The chicken is breaded perfectly that the coating stays on the chicken instead of falling apart. Great crispy crunchy texture and the chicken is still moist. My boyfriend got the number 27 which was the spicy cold soba. It was good but not super flavorful. It could have used some more salt and acid but it was refreshingly light for a summer day. The owner started making ice cream in house. Tried a sample of the ube and had to get a small scoop. It was very yummy. Service was really nice and the restaurant was near spotless. Would come back again! read more

Wow! I was blown away by how good this place was. I thought this was going to be a simple, lowkey place but Kisoya is a modern, fast casual Japanese restaurant that specializes in katsu, udon, and ramen. To start off, let's talk about this serving size - it is definitely large enough to split! Not pictured is a complimentary side of udon. I got the chicken katsu curry ($17 in total) and everything was so good. The katsu is perfectly crisp, flavorful, and my pieces of chicken were big. The curry is simple yet flavorful and pairs well with the bed of rice they give. It seems that potentially Kisoya's pricing model is to incorporate tip into the cost because they don't ask for tip. Expect to order at the counter and bus your own table. The staff was super helpful when I went! If I didn't live so far away I'd be here a lot more often read more

Kisoya has the best cheese Donkatsu (Doncas) in the area in my opinion! Very generous portions, one meal could be split by two people. The pork was not too thin of a cut but still fully cooked, and the cheese was substantial. The side salad dressing had a kick which cuts the greasy pork cutlet. I appreciated the udon but it wasn't necessary for the meal, the rice was a perfect accompaniment for the pork. Service was quick, they took our order at the counter and they give you a buzzer to inform you the food is ready. I liked the interiors, very modern and cozy. There are booths for privacy and are great for kids. Will definitely come back! read more
