    Curry Katsu
    Kristine P.

    Errands after errands we did passed by hmart and ended up checking out there food hall. This place was honestly one of the best places I've had curry katsu. I had to request separating the sauce since my mom was with me.. and man she even mentioned the katsu was crispy and seasoned well.. also! this was just one order and just be aware of there portions which is great for its price.

    Curry Chicken

    Super delicious! Had the chicken curry. Katsu was delicate, moist and flavorful. Sauces and curry were spot on. Sesame salad dressing was delicious and ginger teriyaki sauce on rice made the rice alone worth it. I would definitely go back. Service was quick and friendly and place seemed clean. It is in the food court for H mart. Tasty!!!

    Use the sauce on the rice....

    Inside H Mart is the food court. Go in and find KZ Mori towards the left rear of the eating place. Our first time here and we knew the foods would be Asian influence. So we know "Katsu" is like a Hawaiian or Japanese breaded protein on top of a scoop of white rice. I ordered a pork and a chicken small Katsu Bowl. A little beeper would let me know when ready...it was taking a long time. Finally got our two bowls bagged with utensils and a small container of the sauce. Tried the pork and first impression was .. thin cut and ok breading, but not savory.... sauce should probably be Teri like. Tried the chicken.. hmm it is moist and better flavor although the breading is the same... rice was plenty and dry so use the sauce on the rice. We don't know if we should have picked Korean or even a sandwich or a Bobba or a hot dog... we just knew Katzu and KZ Mori did not really impress.

    Curry Fish

    delicious!! the worker in the front is always really kind. curry chicken (5/5) - my go to! the portion sizes are so good for the price. the curry is thick and has a slight kick to it, which i enjoy. the plates are loaded with rice and cabbage. fish curry (5/5) - my boyfriends favorite! he loves the fish, it's always fried well. everything is so yummy for the price and portion. definitely try it if you're in the food court!

    It was our first time here and we got the curry chicken. My boyfriend and I both shared this dish and it is more than enough. It comes with side of rice, miso soup, salad and the curry. Every sauce was so good! Highly recommend trying this place out. Everything was so good and the chicken was so juicy and perfect. So flavorful and very good quality. The service was really good. We went on a Thursday for lunch. Plenty of seating since it's a food court. I love the environment. I love that you can go shopping and then eat a yummy meal and dessert if you want!

    Mixed Katsu Plate

    We just had our mandatory Hmart food court date this weekend and tried out KZ Mori. For $19 we got the Mix Katsu Combo with Curry served on the side. The tray came with miso soup, cabbage salad and katsu sauce! Pickled radishes were at the counter for self service as well! We were there late afternoon so the wait for food was quick, about 10 minutes before our order was done. Portions are huge, we ended up sharing the entree between the two of us! Light batter on the katsu slices, with such a good crunch to each bite! The chicken tasted a tad juicier than the pork but overall each bite was a great compliment to the curry! Definitely a great stop for a good deal and a great lunch!

    Inside the huge HMart food court. Got the fish katsu. Perfectly seasoned and fried. Crispy outside and moist inside. All sauces goes well with the fish. It also came with salad and miso soup. A healthy choice. The staff is friendly. A casual setting with lots of table. Huge parking.

    Food and service was really good. I got the tofu katsu and my son got a side of cheese katsu. The breading was fantastic, as was the katsu sauce. The portion of katsu was huge. The only thing I might soggiest is that the tofu be a little bit thinner as it was a little on the softer side. I feel like if it was thinner, it would accent the breading better. Definitely heading back to this place.

    Store front

    Located in HMart food court. We ordered the Pork Katsu. Customer service was 5/5. The taste of everything was fine/average but at that price point, compared to local sit down restaurants that serve katsu at a lower price before tip, I do not think it is worth it. If you're just looking for a quick bite to eat and have to make a quick decision, this would be a solid choice as it does offer generous portions. However, I can't see myself craving this place and wanting to come back. Plenty of seating during a weekday, good luck finding a spot in weekends.

    Ordered the chicken katsu curry and really enjoyed it. The katsu was crispy without being oily and I also like that it came with cabbage miso soup and rice. It is a big portion so it was worth the price. The worker was also very friendly and food came out fairly fast

    Chicken Katsu Curry

    Huge portions.... was so much food I had to share with my gf- forgot to include the miso soup in my picture Don't judge a book by its cover truly, I initially came in with a low bar Surprisingly the curry was super delicious and flavorful The chicken too was soo moist and super tender probably the best chicken katsu I've ever had

    These are the people  I was talking about

    I came back to this place because my first experience was very good. This time they were two employees at the front of the restaurant and when I asked questions they spoke in Spanish to each other instead of answering my question. They told me I didn't know what I was talking about. The woman told the man working there just give her whatever. They didn't know that I understand Spanish. While I was waiting she killed a fly on the wall with her hand and never washed her hands. The man was the one that was handling my food thank God! I don't think I'll be coming back dies to customer service or lack there of and that the employee aren't hygienic apparently. It cost nothing to be a nice person. I guess Kz Mori doesn't feel the same way.

Service was excellent too. Shout out Tai? I'm not sure how to spell it. Cute inside with pretty decor but a little small so make sure to put your name down. We went Sunday around 7:30/8pm and there wasn't a wait for party of 4. Pork jowl is a fav of mine and their ssamjjang tastes pretty authentic but definitely had a little twist to it. It was super tender and well marbled. The crispy chicken was also juicy as it was all thigh meat. It reminded me of takoyaki in terms of taste. I wonder if it's because there's bonito flakes in it or something like takoyaki? Scallop pesto pasta was AMAZING. Scallop is my fav seafood and I never had a creamy pesto before. Udon noodles were cooked perfectly. The skirt steak really surprised me. We asked for medium rare and nice never had a skirt steak that tender. The broccolini tasted very charred and smoky (in a good way). It complimented the meat so well. Miso bacon carbonara was a solid choice and we also got that last time. Can't go wrong with it. The wings though were standard fish sauce wings. The slaw was a bit too vinegary or sour for me. Can't wait to come back the next time!

We went right at opening so there was no wait, the waiters were very nice and on top of everything. Their cocktails are on the sweeter side which I liked. Yuzuni: 7/10 it was good, sweet with yuzu flavor. The part I didn't like that it was the after taste. It was very bitter for some reason. Fries: 10/10 it was delicious. The garlic flavor was strong in a good way and the crispy is on point! Calamari: 10/10 can't really go wrong with that tbh Carbonara: 8/10 the flavor is there but it wasn't that special. The noodle was super al dente that felt a bit undercook (?). There was barely any bacon and the portion size is so small Vongole: 8/10 the flavor was very good. Lots of seafood in the bowl, but there was barely any noodle. The portion is also very small for it to cost $40 Pork Jowl: 7/10 nothing special. Not much flavor to the meat. The sauce that comes with it tastes like the cocktail sauce that I feel like did not go well with the pork. Overall I would give this place a 7/10. The portion size were very small, none of the dishes we ordered were special or stand out enough to wow us. The service was great. The atmosphere was alright.

We ordered the beef carpaccio, truffle funghi pizza, and the pork tomahawk. The beef carpaccio is sliced so thin it melts in your mouth. I love the sauce that is drizzled on top making it taste savory and the arugula keeping it tasting light. The truffle funghi pizza is one of my favorite pizzas to share. It does get heavy because it is so creamy/cheesy. The pork tomahawk was the star for our night! We loved it!!! The pork is cooked so tender it melts in your mouth a bit and the sweet potato purée helps cut the grease. It was a perfect balance of savory and sweet and it works so well together.

If you're looking…read morefor a spot-on izakaya experience in Fountain Valley where the food is consistently incredible, the energy is high, and the grill is always firing, this is it. ​Here is a breakdown of why our latest feast kept the streak alive: ​The Cold Starts ​Yellowtail Jalapeño Carpaccio: A stellar way to kick things off. The yellowtail was incredibly fresh, buttery, and clean, paired perfectly with a bright, citrusy relish and a kick of fresh jalapeño. ​Hokkaido Scallop & Ikura Handroll: Wrapped in crisp, snappy nori, the buttery sweetness of the fresh Hokkaido scallop paired with the briny burst of the salmon roe made for an absolutely perfect, melt-in-your-mouth bite. ​From the Charcoal Grill (Kushiyaki) ​The skewers here are the real MVP, kissed with just the right amount of char. ​The Garlic Situation: If you love garlic, you must order the grilled whole cloves. They get beautifully mellow, sweet, and buttery on the grill. ​Quail Eggs & Kurobuta Sausage: The grilled quail eggs had that perfect snap, and the snappy Kurobuta sausages served with hot mustard are a comforting classic. ​Pork Belly & Beef Skewers: Super succulent, beautifully rendered fat, and seasoned perfectly--especially the skewers topped with crispy fried garlic chips. ​Grilled Corn & Shishamo: The sweet, charred corn on the cob and crisp grilled smelt fish (shishamo) provided excellent texture and variety. ​Cozy Comfort Food ​Buta no Kakuni (Braised Pork Belly): This stole the show. Thick chunks of pork belly braised down until they are absolute melt-in-your-mouth tender, served in a deeply savory, sweet dashi broth with a side of hot mustard to cut through the richness. ​The Sweet Finish ​Banana Crepe Roll with Vanilla Ice Cream: Even when you think you're totally full from skewers, you find room for this. Warm, crisp wrappers enveloping sweet banana, drizzled in chocolate syrup, balanced out by cold vanilla ice cream and fresh mint. ​The Verdict ​Whether you're stopping by for a quick beer and a few skewers or settling in for a massive family-style feast, Kappo Honda delivers every single time. Great vibes, exceptional execution, and a menu where you honestly can't go wrong. Count me in for the next round!
