    A few days ago, we decided to try a new place. We usually go to a katsu restaurant, but this was our first time visiting this one. It was clean, and the menu had a good variety. The interior was neat and modern, and even the dishes looked nicer. The food we ordered was good and had a clean, well-balanced taste. There were both outdoor and indoor tables. It seemed like there was only one server, so they looked very busy, and I felt a bit bad asking for anything.

    Ton Katsu Meal
    Anna W.

    Everything was pretty average overall. We tried the omurice and the tonkatsu meal. The omurice was okay, but the curry wasn't the typical Japanese style curry I was expecting, instead it had a strong tomato flavor. For the tonkatsu meal, the katsu was soft on the bottom even though we dined in, so it really shouldn't have been soggy. The katsu itself was just alright and not very juicy. The interior is simple, and there's an ordering device at each table so you can place your order yourself, which was convenient. The food came out relatively fast. One downside was that they had the door open, so it didn't feel like there was strong AC inside. Overall, it was just an average experience, and I probably wouldn't come back.

    Cheese Katsu Meal
    Nicole C.

    5/3/26 - I've been here a couple times before over a year ago but this is my first time reviewing. We came at the beginning of dinner time on a weekday and were seated immediately. In the past I remember ordering with the server but now you order through a tablet on the table. I ordered the Cheese Katsu meal. The katsu is filled with monterey jack cheese and lined with a thin pork loin. The meal also comes with a shredded cabbage salad with sesame dressing, miso soup, rice, and a side of katsu sauce. It's a good portion of food and very filling. My sister doesn't eat pork and we thought she would only be able to order the udon or the ebi (shrimp) katsu but we were pleasantly surprised to find they now have a sasami (chicken) katsu option. I find that most Asian food places in Whittier tend to not actually be good despite people rating them to be. However Lucky Pig is one of the few Asian food places in the city that actually has good food and is accurate to their ratings.

    Small family owned katsu restaurant in Whittier. Heard about this place and have been meaning to stop by for 7 months now. Was a bit of a drive but don't regret the trip. Just wish I could have come sooner. Inside, both bar and table seatings are available. Also, option for outdoor dining if desired (believe there were two tables outdoors). You order at the table using an iPad which I felt was more convenient as you can take the time to look through the menu and decide at your pace. Ordered the omurice (my favorite) and we also tried the hire katsu meal. The omurice was fantastic just the way my mom use to make it growing up. Fried rice on the inside (but not too dry) with a generous egg sheet wrapped over it making it into what I would describe as a softball. Growing up, we used to put ketchup on the outside but most of the restaurants that make this dish now often use curry (Japanese way). At Lucky pig, however it was a ketchup flavored sauce which was phenomenal and brought me back to the 90s when I was sitting in my mom's kitchen. It was so good. You have to try this. We also ordered the Katsu meal. Now this Katsu was perfectly breaded with a crispy shell. Inside they use lean pork and cooked to perfection. They also serve it with a green chili on side which was phenomenal. This place a gem and a must try.

    Lucky pig is always busy for a reason, it's impeccable eye for small details makes them stand out. I have a constant craving for cabbage salad and when I found out that Lucky Pig not only perfect the cabbage salad but helped elevate each dish, I was in love. I immediately landed on the cheese Katu and omurice. It was to my surprised that when everything came out, your meal was presented in such a way that was pleasing to the eye and flavorful and dare i say just as good as being in Japan? I would def recommend Lucky Pig to all the katsu lovers, the menu is small and perfected and never misses.

    Omurice

    If you're looking for high-quality comfort food that actually hits the spot, Lucky Pig is a must-visit. I came in for the Katsu and Omurice, and they did not disappoint. The Katsu was easily the highlight of the meal. The meat was impressively thick and juicy, yet they still managed to get that perfect, golden-crisp crunch on the panko breading. Since it's served on a wire rack, it stayed perfectly crunchy until the very last bite. The Omurice was also absolutely yummy. The egg was swirled beautifully for a great presentation and had that soft, silky texture that melts in your mouth. The savory gravy was the perfect complement to the rice, making every bite feel like a warm hug. Even the shredded cabbage with the creamy dressing provided a great refreshing contrast to the fried katsu. As for the service, it was excellent and made the whole experience very smooth. They use a convenient tablet system at the table for ordering, which makes the process fast and easy. The staff was friendly and attentive, ensuring the food came out fresh and hot without a long wait. It's a very organized, efficient environment that lets you focus entirely on the meal. The portions are generous, the food is fresh, and you can tell they care about the technique. It's the kind of meal that leaves you feeling full and very happy. I will definitely be back to tackle more of the menu soon!

    I found this place after looking for an omurice restaurant nearby my area. It's a small restaurant with enough seating for dine in. We were promptly seated and placed our order on the tablet at the table. The food came out relatively fast. Presentation was good and the food was tasty. However, the egg was different one than what I was expecting. Because the way it was cooked, it came out not as runny; however, it still tasted good with the sauce and the fried rice. The pork katsu was yummy dipped in the katsu sauce and goes well with the pickled peppers.

    We had an amazing experience at Lucky Pig! The staff were very kind and welcoming. The food was very delicious, especially the Ebi Katsu! I will definitely come back.

    Cucumber salad

    Loved it the first time so wanted to try it again. Tried the chicken katsu curry this time but still liked the pork tonkatsu curry the best. Cucumber appetizer was still great.

    2 hire katsu's in the back and ball katsu in the front

    Background On Visit: Recently, I saw ig reel from Yelpla highlight this shop as one of the top places to eat at according to yelp elites. Since I was in the area, I decided to patronize the shop this weekend. Credit Card: They're accepted. Restroom: It's available Location/Parking: Located at the Whittwood Town Center. Shared parking is available in the center. Ambiance/Decor: Neat little shop with with modern furnishings to sit and eat on. They also have couple of tables outside of the shop. Depending on the time you go, please dress accordingly. It can be cold at night. Order Of Operations 1) Get seated 2) Order through the tablet 3) Wait for your food to come and start eating. 4) Last, pay for your meal with a staffer. Service: Overall, service was decent. The staffers were friendly and offered some great insight on the food items that I was curious about. Food Of Choice: Curry Hire Katsu: It came two hire and 1 katsu ball. Thought the dish was good. Please note that the katsu ball is slightly pink inside, but totally safe to eat. It's due to the way it is being cooked using a precise low-temperature, extended-frying method. It is cooked gently to a safe internal temperature around 140 to 150 degrees. The myoglobin is the source of the pink or red color in meat. Mmmmmm... Japanse curry burps! Lucky Pig For Thought: Wouldn't mind coming back to try their other items on the menu.

    Tried this place with my fiancé for date night and it was such a pleasant surprise! Lucky Pig. It's a small but cozy atmosphere. We ordered the tonkatsu set and it was so good. The dish was crispy and light, and the pork was juicy, not dry at all. The egg dipping sauce really elevated it. We also got the omurice, which was flavorful and comforting, and the gravy was delicious. Overall, really good experience. Would definitely recommend, and we would definitely come back.

    This place is SOOO good. It falls on the top 3 of my fave katsu places ever. I got the Kare Katsu and it was very juicy and full of good flavor. I never really go for pork katsu but I would say this is the best I've had. Perfect portions and they were generous with the salad. My friend ordered the omurice and I would've ordered this if there wasn't katsu on the menu. I am obsessed. Need to get this when I return.

    A delicious Korean katsu restaurant! Their main entrees are katsu/curry/omurice. They also have other Korean dishes like udon, bibim noodles, and tteokbokki that I would be curious to try next time. The service is very friendly and welcoming. They checked in on us often and offered extra salad dressing without us having to request it. 5/5 - Curry katsu, really interesting that they put finely chopped mushrooms in the sauce! You can't taste them so don't be worried if you don't lik them. The portion is large and sauce was really good with the kstsu. 4/5 - Omurice, the tomato sauce was too punchy. I wasn't a huge fan of the sauce but the meatball and omelette were really good! 5/5 - Cabbage salad, thinly sliced and delicious with the toasted sesame sauce. A must have side for your katsu. 3/5 - Tamago Sando, the bread is soo soft/fluffy and they put in a lot of egg filling! But the mayo base flavoring is too sweet for my personal preference, I didn't like this as much.

It "looks like a typical burger joint inside with Booths. There's a side door for to go orders. Food service was quick and the portions are big. For their price, I would hope so. We ordered the following: Bulgolgi Fries Garlic Steak Noodle Egg Cheese corn Ranking in best to so-so, I'd have to say is the steamed egg. Yes, I was surprised too. I thought the Bulgolgi fries would be number one. Sadly it's not. If you mess up steamed egg, ima gonna say no to the rest of your menu. I would order two next time and just stick to that. The cheese corn was okay, but compared to PaDak and other local Korean spot I say skip this. The cheese tasted weird to me and I did t like that it was also a kraft American cheese. As a cheese lover, I only expect that square cheese to be on a burger or cheese melt. The Bulgolgi Fries could serve 3 people. But it was drenched with sauce, and spicy sauce. Not enough Bulgolgi to pay $20. The cut of fries were this nd tasted like sweet potato. It just didn't fit my taste buds. The Garlic noodle okay. That's Al I have to say about that. I'm glad I finally tried this place, but I don't know if I would come back for anything on their menu. I would rather go next door or across the street.

It's in a small, almost empty-ish plaza, but it's a little mom-and-pop gem. Ambiance (5/5): Walk right in and you'll see that it's on the small side, but a cute and simple restaurant with family vibes. Depending on the time of day, it can feel somewhat empty while at other times somewhat busy. Service (3/5): It's nothing too special, but the workers are always friendly. It's somewhat self serve. You order at the front and then you wait for them to call your order. Then you pick up your tray of food, eat, and place the trays towards the front when done. Food (5/5): Everything we have eaten here over the years is so yummy. Their hot stone bibimbap is chock-full of ingredients with just the right amount of sesame oil and flavor; we often have to pack some of it to go. Their army stew (budaejigae) is my absolute favorite, and I've compared it to a lot of other Korean stew places, some way pricier and this one still takes the cake. It has a wonderful roasted flavor from all the meats they put in and I love going for the ramen first. I always take extra to go since it's small but filling. The best part? Let's not forget that they have self serve all-you-can-eat banchan (side dishes) and they do not skimp on variety. There's your usuals like the napa kimchi, radish kimchi and fish cakes, but they also have mac salad, potato salad, japchae and other goodies which works well for your picky toddlers. Overall, this is a wonderful little restaurant that deserves a visit over and over when you're just craving some comfort korean food at decent prices.

It is self served, in which you go up to order, they'll give you a plate for self served banchan, and you grab your own utensils. Once you're done, you have to return the trays and plates back. The food is made to order and very tasty. We ordered all their "must try" and it was really good. The side dishes were definitely home made. I highly recommend the seafood pork bone soup noodle because it was super tasty, but be aware that mild is still kind of spicy. The lady in the front was strict but reasonable, just like any real place should be. Customers were mostly family they knew the place and chatted with the boss. The atmosphere is very simple with tables that you can sit anywhere.
